Wow your attention to detail is impressive I believe even “the car care nut” would be impressed with your work. I just bought a 03 gx 470 (230,000 miles) and this channel is going to be a huge help.

Would like to point out a few things. Your attention to detail and proper procedures are awesome. It shows that doing so WORKS. Shortcuts don't serve anyone. Do it right; do it once. Wow are we (Dad) lucky for all the time working on this. You (seem) to do it most alone and in silence (for the video). My buddies/friends ask why I don't have more videos of everything I do. I am ALWAYS listening to something, often podcasts. I guess I could do it silently and over-record. Let me think about that. Uh no.. LOL. 2 WEEKS FOR SHIMS!? Oh my! And those reminded me of my youth and shims for the valves in my Cosworth Vega. Oh the memories. Great job! Appreciate your fine work!

Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate that 🙂. I only work in silence for videos, otherwise I always have music going. Not the most fun thing but it makes editing easier! I was a bit disappointed with Toyota's part fulfillment this time around. Oh well, we got there in the end. 2 weeks is definitely enough time to start forgetting how it all goes back together. 😆

Gotta love the 2UZ I had my Timing Belt done at 181K as well and also overhauled the cooling and radiator system while at it as well. I recently dumped more money into it replaced the CV axles, wheel bearings, lower control arms, sway bars and upgraded to Bilstein 5100 all 4 corners and actually lifted her 1.75 front a teeny bit squat but made the truck much more aggressive looking and stance as well

Awesome work Peter. Amazing that engine has over 200k yet looks to be in excellent shape.

This is amazing work thank you so much for making this video with great detail! One note-I’m surprised you don’t use your power ratchet more.

After watching all videos so far, I feel like I took a mechanic tech course. Very impressive work and attention to details reminds of the Japanese mechanics videos!

Honestly have always liked this and the equivalent Toyota platform...I have neither vehicle, but I still enjoy watching the thorough work you do

You would want to check the starter on these, either rebuild em or replace them. They're under the intake plenum and can be a pita when they go out.

should have set cams on the T marks before removing belt to relieve rollover tension. Do you notice how the cam rolls over when you take off the belt?

@GM-sk2wk 8 ай бұрын

Great video - apparently there is a filter built into the power steering fluid reservoir. Maybe that could stand to be replaced, too.

@PracticalEnthusiast 8 ай бұрын

Thanks! I was wondering if there was a filter. I didn't see anything that looked serviceable in the reservoir itself. Might just have to replace the whole reservoir.

@GM-sk2wk 8 ай бұрын

No problem, thanks for the video. Will come in handy when I change cam seals. And yes, from what I’ve read, the filter cannot be changed without replacing the entire reservoir. I’m about to change the one on my Sequoia.

Awesome video wanted to know if you are a mechanic and work on vehicles. I have a 2004 Gx 470 need to have timing belt and water pump done.

@checheboy6125 6 ай бұрын

This is really edifying. Where are you located and how much does this valve restoration and timing belt change cost?

@jimmyjobsllc 8 ай бұрын

Fantastic video, great resource to others refreshing these great trucks! What do you call the pliers you’re using at 1:15:32? They look really handy for those small hose clips and I’d love to order a pair!

@PracticalEnthusiast 8 ай бұрын

Thank you! Those pliers are super handy, Amazon has a set that have a few different angles. All are great to have on hand! amzn.to/48VrMVU

Anybody here knows where do you find the Toyota service manual for this vehicle or an LX 470 etc? Considering purchasing one that's a bit older like 2003-2005 range but definitely need the service manual to do a lot of this work properly would help immensely to save some money and do it yourself.

@kayakuprising5914 3 ай бұрын

This is my first time learning about valve shims. Do small adjustments like this help with fuel consumption? Negligible? Would too much or too little gap cause noise?

@PracticalEnthusiast 3 ай бұрын

I think fuel consumption would be fairly negligible. Too large a gap can definitely create noise but it doesn't usually damage anything. Too small a gap is what can cause damage.

What book are you referencing while servicing this vehicle?

I'm using the Lexus factory service manual.

Hey King, whats your opinion on the VW 2.5l engine?

@PracticalEnthusiast 8 ай бұрын

I haven't had one or worked on one so I can't speak much to it, but an inline-5 always gets a pass in my book.

What are you spraying on the end of the hoses before you take them off?

@PracticalEnthusiast 8 ай бұрын

Silicone spray.

what are you spraying on the connectors before you unclip them

@8Lugproductions 3 ай бұрын

just needed to wait longer in the video. PB blaster silicone lubricant

@PracticalEnthusiast 3 ай бұрын

Yep, silicone spray helps with plastic connectors and rubber hoses!

Unless the engine cover had some sort of sound deadening material, I'd honestly just leave it off. The engine bay looks a lot nicer without it.

@PracticalEnthusiast 8 ай бұрын

There's some noise suppression material on the engine cover, but it's mostly cosmetic.
