How To Remove 20R Engine From Toyota Pickup/Hilux

[@madcat4563]

I can't wait to see the end result.

[@6thGearGarage]

Phase 1 will just be to get it together and running. Once I finish some other projects, I'll get around to phase 2, which will be body & paint. I'm going to embrace the rusty patina farm truck look for a while :)

Today I learned how to use the starter to remove the crank bolt.

[@brianeighties4481]

I’ve done it a few times on 22r’s and Volvo b230f’s granted I still had to put a puller to get the harmonic balancers off.

[@6thGearGarage]

I've done it in a few videos now and it's my favorite method, since my impact isn't powerful enough. Just check rotation of the engine first... there are come counter-clockwise engines out there!

This was cool, cant wait for the next installment ... looks like we got powder coating in our future, nice 👍

[@6thGearGarage]

Thanks! That was actually just curing some spray paint. If I ever have the space, I'd love to get into powder coating.

NGK is one of Toyota's suppliers of rear main seals. My 1993 22R-E's stock rear main seal is NGK.

[@6thGearGarage]

Thanks for that info!

[@briano744]

Thank you for taking the time to post these videos, sharing your experiences. They have lit a fire under me to start working on my second owner 1987 Toyota 4x4 extended cab. Subbed!

[@riceburner4747]

Doing a great job! I had an 81 4x4 SR5. Can't wait til it's done. 👍🖖😊

[@6thGearGarage]

Thanks 👍 I can't wait until I can finally drive it!

[@christopherwaits7852]

Definitely mixed coolant. Reminds me of the GM dexcool scandal

[@6thGearGarage]

Looks like I'm going to have to do a video on flushing the cooling system!

[@christopherwaits7852]

Also is that another new white Toyota in the driveway??

[@6thGearGarage]

Yessir! That's going to be my 2024 project :)

[@MiniLuv-1984]

I love watching your progress and thanks for taking us along, but I often wonder, why put so much effort into a 2WD ute? A 4x4, I'd understand - they are great for off-road and fetch a good price if you were to sell it, but a 2WD. What am I missing?

[@6thGearGarage]

Great question! I used to part out trucks in this poor of condition, but thought I'd challenge myself to save this rust bucket. I already have a lifted 1985 4x4, so a lowered 2wd would make a cool shop truck for hauling stuff. It's definitely taking longer than I expected!

[@MiniLuv-1984]

@Emoralis I've had a similar experience. My 2WD hiace van, with M/T tyres made its way to some very unlikely spots. Once a very ruffled 4x4'er demanded to know how I got the hiace to the top of this sand hill. He'd been trying for a while without success digging himself into the soft sand and really not progressing much and finally, defeated walked up to find out. I just pointed to the track leading to the top that he entirely missed.

[@MiniLuv-1984]

@@6thGearGarage Fair enough. I hope its resulting in more views and subs because I am thoroughly enjoying this series!

[@6thGearGarage]

@@MiniLuv-1984 not much more views or subs so far but almost all the videos on this truck have 100% likes and that means a lot. 👍

[@paullaws3889]

Looks like fun

[@6thGearGarage]

This was actually of the easier/more fun engines I've removed :)

[@billythomas4527]

Is that a block off plate at the EGR location?

[@6thGearGarage]

Yes it is. I'm guessing the previous owners installed it when they converted to the weber carb.

[@israelvirgen147]

Nice job I’ve been seeing your videos and your Toyotas are amazing how can I contact you I have some cool shift knobs that maybe you’ll like

[@6thGearGarage]

Thanks! I’m actually missing the shift knob for the manual trans I’ll be using for this truck, so that might be perfect. My email is [e-mail]

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Is that a problem with coolant mixing, or some kind of crappy radiator seal? Yikes..... It's pretty though......

[@6thGearGarage]

From what I've been told, it's probably GM Dexcool mixed with normal green antifreeze. Hopefully that will be the worst of it and it's not in the heater core and radiator.

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

@@6thGearGarage pretty crazy looking, almost algae looking…..

[@waynesworkshop7069]

Looks like dexcool gms worst idea

[@6thGearGarage]

Thanks! Looks like I'm going to have to do a video on flushing the cooling system.

[@drewfleming7065]

Thats LSD coolant.....

[@6thGearGarage]

Hahah
