Engine Is Back.. So How Is It? // '74 2UZ V8 Celica

[@markhutchinson3367]

The Infiniti Q45 cable throttle body is 80mm and a popular upgrade for many race engines.

[@eefneleman9564]

[@GroundBeatDe]

Hi, its 90mm if i remember well :D .

[@michaelspurling4376]

Oh no! The BBQ shop was the awesome neighbors that you never want to see move away.

[@Primus54]

No doubt. I hope they are moving because of great success and the need to expand. They’ve certainly been a great neighbor for Sarah.

[@Andrew-jh5uv]

@@Primus54hear hear

[@johnturner4400]

Maybe Sarah could move into the vacant shop?

[@jasonfitzpatrick414]

Maybe they will leave a BBQ grill for you.

[@randywl8925]

The BBQ shop has an awesome neighbor too.

[@GandolphTheGreyBeard]

"Just a piece of plastic"...that came from your DAD's engine. We totally understand.

[@mrmister385]

I'm hoping Integrity still exists in Small Companies, but it's more likely that they noticed Sarah's YT channel is exploding and dont want bad publicity. In either case, I am happy they rebuilt a HORRIBLE first attempt to rebuild this engine. Rock on Sarah. Mark from Nashua.

[@jergervasi3331]

When you said you weren't going to let an outside shop rebuild your engines anymore, I actually yelled out "YES!". Your level of obsessive detail is my favorite part of your videos. Like when you were picky about that plastic cover. I love that! Keep up the great work!

[@ArunSudama-ur2cd]

About the engine shop, my wife would say, ‘Wouldn’t it have been easier to do right things right the first time?’

[@bsmirnov]

The problem is that you don't learn how to do right things right until after you've done wrong things right.

[@Canthus13]

Yes, but shit happens. I'm impressed with the shop because they stood behind their work and made it right. That's the kind of company I prefer to work with.

[@banneddamn]

Impressed by the engine shop? 😂😂 Lazy halfassness the first time... Yeah I'd want to go there again for sure.... 🙄 Not impressed. Not one bit. They are just trying to cover their backside from backlash. That's all.

[@jasonh4167]

I bet somebody’s new job for a bit is shop cleanup....

[@vanislescotty]

My dad used to say, "If you had time to do it twice, how come you didn't have time to do it right the first time."

[@damham5689]

I have no doubt the engine shop only fixed it because of your channel and your amount of viewers. Im sure if it was my engine they would have laughed and said piss off.

[@davidsimmons6197]

Absolutely impressed with your skills and attention to the smallest details. Never apologize for how you do what you do or why you do it. It's your build, do it your way. Only a fool would not want to watch the progress of your build. Thanks for all your work Sarah

[@danielsingleton3576]

Never change. Your commitment to doing things to your standards is the exact reason I watch your videos first before I get to other content creators.

[@NT4XT]

👍

[@whereisthebeto]

Swapping out the metal bolt sleeves in the plastic timing covers is absolute attention to detail! I would have never thought of doing that or even think that was possible! Bravo!

[@WhiskyCardinalWes]

And a Wild Charlie appears!!

[@livingfree-livingmobile3149]

Tell Charlie we love him

[@donpark759]

So nice to see working on cars does not always go to plan, as is the case with all other car shows! In the real world, there is always something waiting around the corner to crash the plan! Very refreshing and honest!

[@anth5189]

I think I understand. I keep old tools because they were my Fathers.

[@wfoguy]

I'm a Charlie fan. Age, experience and creativity. Every friendship has a price. I hope his is worth keeping. :)

[@rubenfranco9046]

I love watching someone, who loves what they do. It is obvious with the care taken, that you care. Shine on you crazy diamond 💎 ✌️

[@Stefanmanv]

15:42 you can modify the dbw throttle body to accept cable. Happy to share pictures, I did the cable conversion on my 3UZ, because old school...😂

[@1htalp9]

My son works for that F-16 squadron flying above your shop.👍

[@spudsmarauder]

Double Nutting the Hotdog in the Hallway is about 15% of the reason I am subscribed. Also whenever I think I am obsessing on my own automotive projects I learn new levels from Sarah

[@inssan6550]

Thanks

[@BarbWaltersMusic]

I will always appreciate just how much is shown on your channel, it's real and not like snap here is everything done.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Looking forward to Sarah taking the time to show what the measurments of an engine are used for, rather then just glossing over them being taken like the majority of build videos and magazine articles.

[@cullen3]

Infinity Q45 is the throttle body you’re looking for.

[@twoeightythreez]

More specifically, one with no traction control.

[@douglaskaye1395]

Thanks!

[@bearsstuff]

80mm Billet Throttle Body w/IAC Provision from Wilson Manifolds.

[@nonyanks2510]

You are the most detail oriented person I have ever seen!

[@jerrycapizzi2081]

The dedication to perfection is one of the best aspects of this channel.

[@zeropointzero]

When the rest of the car is fully restored, why leave one rusty sleeve in a plastic timing cover? The amount of time and effort you put into the little details doesn't go unnoticed, Sarah. This is A+ show quality work!

[@jtbDDOepMNNVIpk]

New subscriber here. Loving the content. Your Nerdy funny car videos for us people of the world watching car videos on the internet rock. Keep hustling and we’ll keep watching!

[@stevegee218]

The DSM guys back in the day with custom manifolds would use a "mustang" throttle body pattern. Lots of aftermarket size choices and throttle cable driven.

[@Domspun]

That's what I did with my Mazda. Mustang throttle bodies are simple and cheap.

[@juansomarriba]

As soon as I see that notification of a new video..., it makes my day!

[@maskedmotorsdiy3575]

Seriously? A one-owner 1974 Celica. This is rare, an unusual survivor.

[@mrgimpie]

and it's gonna be sweet af!

[@Krunch2020]

Now two owner.

[@cnorton1us]

As a person of Planet Earth watching videos about cars, I was happy to see this one in the notification list. Hopefully the engine is rebuilt properly this time and will run perfectly once you get everything put together. As an old school old fart, I very much miss cable operated throttle bodies; I understand the reasons for the electronic ones, but when I floor the gas pedal I want the throttle to snap open instantly, dammit! And to close when I want it to. This is going to be a truly amazing car when you're done, and now I'm looking forward to the new project.

[@MrSleepProductionsInc]

Definitely want to stay with factory sensors! My dad went through several aftermarket knock sensors and hundreds of dollars before I convinced him to buy factory. Had to show him the oem/aftermarket sensor readings with an oscilloscope.

[@johngillies8591]

Sarah, an extremely classy move in your dealing w engine shop. It take a special person to act and do what you did. Keep up the incredible work

[@milesunderwood2380]

I don't care what anyone says you are fun to hangout with 👍👍❤️🌹

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Often when I need to turn the engine on the stand I'll use the engine hoist on the manifold studs of one side to turn it and ensure it stays airborne, or resists gravitational forces at least. Gonna be a beast when this car is done.

[@jerrycapizzi2081]

Great video, thanks

[@EggsOverSleazy]

Re: your Spotify mix tapes My daughters LOVE the 2001 Audi mix, which we listen to in our 2002 truck. And I listened to the 1992 MR2 playlist while driving my 93 Miata. Listening to period correct tunes in old cars is indeed awesome.

[@traingeek2000]

Check out Xcessive manufacturing's 1UZ Throttle Lock, all it is is a machined piece that drops into the internal mechanism in the 1UZ throttle body that locks the cable reel to the butterfly

[@telemarktumalo6978]

So glad that the engine shop made things right. I'm proud of you for taking the high ground and not doxxing them. So stoked to see you work through the fitting issues as that wonderful engine gets fitted into the Celica. Strong Work!

[@tedhaze1]

A person would have a hard time finding somebody better than yourself to oversee any kind of project like we've seen on your Channel. Absolutely great work.

[@thepank008]

Engine looks so much better now.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Throttle Bodies from about '98 thru '04 on MoPar's are cable. Glad to hear you'll be doing the motor yourself on the next build. In your shoes I'd be wondering "How many other jobs has that shop done half-assed?" Not many of their customers have 628K people following their builds, or the potential business killing publicity if the same second class work is done to their motors. Doing the rebuild yourself, and documenting what you get to learn during the process, is going to be fun for all of us to watch.

[@AlanCarNut]

I had a 2004 Tundra that I drove for years thinking it was a cable throttle body. Then I discovered it was electronic. Use the electronic one. The engine computer knows how to talk to it. It had perfect response.

[@eefneleman9564]

Period correct is not necessarily perfect.

[@mpiemanb]

Drill 2 places for a zirc fitting on your engine stand so you can grease the rotation.

[@stratfanstl]

Glad the rebuilder came through. Now 627,000 of us can stop holding our breath.

[@bobuncle8704]

Glad the machine shop came through for you this time. 👍👍

[@TheAxecutioner]

This is the coolest build in youtube history !!

[@noo4pass]

"DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT." Sarah gonna dew what Sarah dew.

[@tysonparker7403]

I love you quirky OCD for having things clean. You live up to the saying “anything worth doing is worth doing right”.

[@buckaroobonsi555]

When putting o-rings into a tight dry hole lube is your friend. Normaly you use what ever lubricant they will be encounting in use. So if they will be seeing crank case oil you use some crank case oil. If coolant you use coolant etc... They do make o-ring grease since you use so little of it contamination is not really consider to be an issue. Just like if you are trying to get bicycle handle bar grips on you do not put them on dry normaly you use a bit of soapy water and they go one fast and easy and when it drys they stay put. O-Rings can sometimes tear when you try to install them dry because they will stick to the surface and as you insert the part it pulls until it tears as you force it into place.

[@PoorManMods]

You can use a vvti 1UZ throttle body and make it 100% cable driven, I did on my 1UZ swap for my is300, there's a plastic piece that installs into the throttle body to allow it to be 100% cable driven.

[@ianperkins8812]

Watching you do a full engine build would be top shelf content. I'll be looking forward to that!

[@murraymakesstuff]

Sarah! Love watching your builds.

[@chrisvalleqatsi]

I cannot express how relieved I am to see this lump finally return in acceptable (?) condition. Dunno how you reacted off-camera, but you're way more generous than I would be with that half-assed rebuild. 3/4 assed? Not fully assed.

[@Emily-lk1mf]

i like the old fashioned tv montages you used in this vid lol. and i love that you're realistic. a solid 50% of building a car is just waiting for parts to show up, or fixing other peoples fuckups, or making them fix their own fuckups. exhausting honestly. im always happy to see the notif pop up that youve uploaded another video

[@robertt3715]

Years ago when I was a station personality for a kids radio station, I got to drive the Zamboni at a NHL game between periods. Bucket list item CHECKED OFF.

I use a Belle cement mixer gearbox on my engine stand. It's a godsend.

[@stephenchamp-op2cn]

Would have loved to hear the unedited tirade the first time that motor came back ❤️😅😎

[@michaelblacktree]

I agree about the plastic covers. IMO 'beauty covers" on this engine would just be wrong. But the covers for the timing belt are functional. 😎

[@tonyschmidt8741]

Sarah I totally agree with you cleaning your hardware. I remember many a day spent leaning over my coffee can with solvent and a toothbrush! I liked it clean I just wasn't as smart as you! Love your show, thanks!

[@keithyoung7]

I was replacing covers etc. following some maintenance - a voice in my head said “no, no you have to clean and polish before replacing” - you have changed my life.

[@thomasbrown782]

You are such a breath of fresh air when compared to so many "KZbin Divas"........Stay who you are!

[@Tempsho]

14:37 I would be concerned about putting anything with bearings in an ultrasonic cleaner. You take the risk of washing away the lube. Might feel ‘ok’ spinning it once you take it out of the tray, but could fail sooner down the road. I couldn’t tell if you totally submersed it or not. Just a heads up!

[@misspeta1986]

Excellent vid Sarah, we absolutely adore Charlie he's knowledge and experience is so invaluable ❤

[@markphilpot8734]

That conquer what you can and continue to progress is what makes you the one on KZbin. Do it to the max or leave it alone. That’s the hustle that gets it done. Press on Sarah and thanks to Charlie for being there in a pinch. Can’t lose! Yeah buddy!

[@user-ex9zm7bg3x]

10:00, the sound of freedom

[@Dav1d_999]

Thanks, Sara! 💌

[@brucestlmo]

Sarah, just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your attention to detail and quality. Your knowledge is impressive. I hope you do take time for yourself and not really work 24/7. It is also great to have Charlie stop by to add some engineering spin to the topic.

[@pkt1213]

I love how long this car is taking. I didn't own a vehicle with a 4.7 when it started. Problem recently corrected.

[@Maximum1A]

Your attention to detail and skills are second to nobody and you make amazing car videos. This one was especially satisfying to watch. Nicely done 👍👍

[@aaronbrown6266]

So very important to use only OEM sensors on the 2UZ-FE. They don't tolerate anything else.

[@jamesbower5995]

“Don’t worry about it.” I love it! It’s your car. Do what you want.

[@randywl8925]

You are much nicer than most people. You did the right thing not mentioning the engine builder and offering them a chance to redeem themselves. 👍

[@rwd2006]

[@MrGrumpyjohn01]

we had that exact Philips TV set when I was a kid..I loved those piano key type buttons for some reason..

[@markzieser7854]

Love the new cartoon-like video graphics (words on the screen)

[@johnmccabe7645]

This content is perversely riveting Sarah. Your drive and total knowledge domination of this task is wondrous. Why you don't have 5M subs is baffling.💚💚🔥😎

[@nathanshufelt6191]

It is just plastic to some, but I totally understand the sentimental value in using any parts you can from your fathers truck. Keep doing it the way you want. 👍

[@AndySnap]

It's all in the detail... I just love seeing the cleanliness and craftsmanship of Sarah at work, so entertaining and friendly too 🙏

[@BjorkensteinvanJurgenheim]

Also, Holley make a 80mm cable driven throttle body. Not exactly JDM, but just paint over the brand label or something.

Sarah being Sarah is always a WIN!!!!

It's not just a piece of plastic it's attention to detail and that Sarah you most definitely have. 👍

Check out the throttle body for a 1mz-fe and see if it fits . Its off a early camry v6 like 97-2000 years with cable throttle.

[@jeromejordan628]

The GWB quote is PRICELESS!!!!

[@danburdick2749]

As someone else said, Infiniti Q45 throttle body. The 7MGTE guys upgrade to that, a Lexus AFM and larger injectors for more power, and it's a bolt-on for them. Just try to find the one WITHOUT the traction control second throttle plate for a cleaner look. Love what you do, and how you do it! Especially your sense of humor! Dan from St. Cloud, MN.

Can't wait to see and hear how the Celica drives with the V-8. Always loved the sound and performance of my 79 Formula Firebird and 86 5.0 LX Mustang. Will get another V-8 vehicle soon...

[@SantaRosaSteve]

I know how hard it is and how much time it takes with camera setup, repositioning and editing but we truly appreciate it. Yet another amazing video thank you

[@gratefultedd969]

Im so jappy that you got the engine back so quick. I was so mad about all the problems you found from the first time around. This is such a great build im very excited about it.

[@anomamos9095]

Tip For sealing with goo. Always err on the side of not blocking the oil pickup. If you can put the least amount possible on fit the part loose then remove it check for dry spots, goo them and put the part back and finger tighten lightly and evenly, allow goo to start to set, ( the squeeze out should be tacky almost dry but still smear between the fingers) now torque to spec.

[@ramblerdave1339]

I took apart an AMC V8 that a friend rebuilt, and found the entire bypass valve passage on the oil pump, filled with silicone sealer. 😮
