Building a Brand New Toyota Engine from Scratch

I sold my 2010 camry with 160,000 miles to my 28 year old son. I sent him this video as a reminder to check that oil often. Love your videos keep them coming I watch all of them.

[@renj6531]

i have the same year and 167k I check the oil in mine every weeks. Toyota claims its normal for these to consume oil.

[@TrojanLube69]

@@renj6531 It's normal because they use very loose piston compression rings to have less friction. Thus, allowing/giving better gas mileage and emissions.

[@TrojanLube69]

[@churro6160]

20:17 Spark plug tubes: premeasuring them to the specified length and marking them with sharpy can help with time. You have a visual aid and can check it as it goes down with a fraction of a second making sure tge mark doesn't disappear into the cylinder head without dropping your tools. Saves you a few minutes 😊

Hi AMD also you can turn a teflon tube sleeve with a flange at its end to 112mm exact length and use it as a installation height mark AS Well As hammering block buffer and the cool thing is that you won’t need to worry about wood chips flying around inside the engine.

[@genzigzag]

Sir, you and your team are amazing, most shops and especially dealer service shops would never do this, i would even say that 85% of 'techs' don't know where to start or do this. The ability to build an engine has become specialized. The modern shop philosophy of incentivizing volume of work ensures techs never gain this knowledge.

[@romzcollainimz8533]

I don't know anything about engines let alone building one, yet I was transfixed to this demonstration for the entire 76 minutes of it.. ..now I'm wishing I live near your workshop so I can utilize your expertise for all my maintenance needs for my Lexus .. thank you for all your videos..

[@mvtroiano]

Thank you for not over complicating this! My son is VERY hard on his cars. He learned the hard way by not checking the oil and killed his engine. Toyota sourced a used very low mileage engine that ran him about $5,000 in and out. He complained about it, but Toyota actually gave him the best price.

[@fisherbrown903]

from dealer? toyota use engine for 5000? thats cheap

[@teedee9903]

This question may have already been asked but I didn't see it. I noticed you didn't seat the valves in this cylinder head. I always either tapped them in or used lapping compound. Why didn't you do this ? or did I miss something.

[@Drako0887]

[@BruinHerr-bj7uk]

I use that same Lisle valve spring retainer tool. Works great on every engine I’ve worked on. I always disassemble new replacement heads and check valves for leaks. Often new aftermarket heads need the valves lapped to seal properly.

[@LAactor]

I love these engine build videos! The best part is the final moment and point of no return. Go for main engine start. Contact. 20:18 valves. I watch VGG and a takeaway I have from him telling me about valves is when you hit them, they resonate in the heads making a musical tone. He talks about a different kind of lifter but the concept is the same. The tone should all be the same when it's the same springs keepers and seats. If one sounds different, look why that guy is doing that. I know you know but people who are watching might not all know.

[@PatrickC139]

Im just moral support man Lol. 16k job! I knew that the car had to have some kind of massive sentimental value to the owner and then you said it. That was so complicated to someone like me but it was fascinating to watch.

[@sandvichman2460]

Hey AMD, Is there any way you can do a video on doing spark plugs on a 2018 Lexus IS350 2GR-FKS? I know you’ve done one for the 2GR-FE, but that was in a Highlander I believe. And that engine is laid out differently. I would like to do mine myself but they look a little difficult. Thank you in advance! I love the videos by the way. I have recently converted to being a Toyota person and I love them. I only want to take care of them the right way to make them last longer. Keep up the good work!

[@sergiotisnado545]

Question: can I extend my oil-change interval (to about 8k) if I use 20k-rated full synthetic media filter and 20k-rated full synth oil? This is a 2012 Tacoma 4.0, V6 (calls for 10w-30).

1:12:12 spark plug tubes are way off. The cylinder valve 2 grommet is gonna leak oil eventually, the only thing that will keep it from popping out will be the ignition coil. Other than that LOVED IT!

[@mikechiodetti4482]

You're right about sentimentality and cars. A vehicle is another way to make memories in your life, along of course with going from point A to point B. I like these engine assembly videos. The details involved are many but when that engine starts for the first time, that sense of accomplishment just knowing you did that stays with you for a long time and it feels really good.......till the next job comes in the shop! Looking forward to that first startup. VERY GOOD ONE AHMED!

My Toyota mechanic and I recently completed refreshing a low mileage (80k) used 3UR that I purchased from the original owner, this engine replaced my high mileage (315k) 3UR that previous owners ran low on oil a few times, this neglect resulted in multiple problems including head gasket failure. The refreshed engine runs smooth & quiet, and I am enjoying the excellent results.

I've been looking for a Toyota specialist for 3 years now🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank the youtube algorithm

[@freddoflintstono9321]

Thank you, that was wonderful. I would love to hear that engine start for the first time. As for the bolts in the head, I once developed a QA tool for a certain EU car manufacturer. The way you check the tension of a bolt is measure the torque as you tension it again: as soon as the bolt starts moving, torque drops for a moment, and that's the value used for quality assessment. This is years ago when they sampled - with automated assembly this is automatically measured and registered for every single bolt.

[@drenico1]

Hello AMD, I hope you see this! Watching this video reminded me of our old 2011 Camry SE that's been parked for a few months, collecting dust. I suspect the head gasket gave out. I really want to get it fixed, we've had it since new, now has 240k. I'd be willing to make the drive to Chicago just to have you work on it! I'm on the CA coast and car has no rust at all. I think it's worth saving. Maybe I can contact your shop and see if it's possible to squeeze us into your schedule. P.S. I've since purchased a '24 Camry XSE Hybrid for my wife. Thanks to all the videos you've had of your Camry before you sold it, we made the decision to get one as well.
