Sorry to hear that! How terrible!! Did you boost a car with it? I never had a chance to do that, only use it as a power bank a few times.

Interesting! Thanks for the input

So it means that it's alright if there's a slight ticking noise when idling?

@@danksauron3172 I think some time in 2018 or thereabouts, the GR engine had a slight internal design change for one reason or another. This is when the ticking phenomenon started. It went away around 2021 (again an estimate, only a Toyota engineer or tech could confirm) when people started complaining about it. It nevertheless did not cause any real concern because the engines didn't burn any oil or any major mechanical issues..just the annoying ticking noise that people started complaining about. Also, this was only noticed in the 1GR. The 2GR was perhaps immune to the problem because of its lower piston speeds at idle.

@@ChuddleBuggy Thanks for the reply, i have 2003 version of this motor and it makes a slight ticking noise when it has warmed up and idles for couple of minutes.

Thanks for the comment!! This is also one of my favorite pieces of music.

is it the normal sound of a 1GR-FE engine?

​@@elie.skaf123Yes

You're kidding right?

@@Adeline9418 I purchased one last month and was about to use it for the first time on Christmas Eve. I didn't know the right way either as I initially put the water in the base. The explanation and diagram in the manual really wasn't all that helpful, hence why I also looked up a video on it.

Thanks so much for your kind words Robert!

i changed the oil and the noise went away. I suspect it's the cam shaft or the valves.

@@heavenscape i think it might be lifter tick

@@heavenscape what oil did it have and what did you change to?

@@jquesadar1525 I don't remember exactly but I ALWAYS use 100% FULL synthetic oil, 5W30. I thought it would last 10000+ miles but it seems i was wrong. By the time i made this video, my car had exactly 5000 miles and 1 year since last oil change.

I didn't bleach mine but I agree it's a good idea. Thanks for watching!!

@@heavenscape vinegar and water.

Sounds like you got a great deal, good for you!! I know in the US you can buy these with no OS, which save a lot of $$$. In canada the options are quite limited and the prices are so much higher....

@@heavenscape I bought it via eBay US then shipped it to Singapore. It comes with windows 10 pro but I don’t use windows. I bought it because I can hackintosh it with macOS github.com/yahgoo/Hackintosh-HP-840-G3-Opencore-Big-Sur

Thanks for watching! I washed my car last week with it and it still works perfectly fine. Nice little machine. I love it.

Thanks Janet! I really enjoyed every minute spent with the Glee club. Looking forward to our new project this year.

Thanks for watching!! It's an insurance policy and hope we don't have to use it.

That was quite some show, isn't it?

Yeah! It was super fun to watch!

Hi, it was on Sept 27, 2015. We were on our way to Hyder AK and we stayed in this camp site for only one night. It was peaceful and we were surprised to see it was almost full.

Thanks for commenting Robert! No oil mix is required for this one. The manual calls for 30 weight oil so I use full synthetic 5W-30 oil, the same oil used for my car. As for fuel, I just use regular gasoline with 87 Octane.

Thanks for the info. Toro should be paying you for advertising their product.

Thanks for the comment! You are right, wildlife can be dangerous even they seem to be tame. But it's quite tempting to see many other people walking around.......It's funny to see a guy working on his van at 4:59.....
