I just got lucky and found a 1985 Toyota Hilux with the 22R carbureted engine. Running smooth and not in such bad shape. I'm really stoked. I have been told that these engines are indestructible, I have been watching videos non-stop on these engines so I can learn how to work on them and keep it alive and in good running conditions for another 30 years lol. Thank you for your video. Every video helps.

[@JammyCrackcorn]

The 22 R Engine is an excellant Engine!

17:23 "who designed this" geniuses, my friend, geniuses

[@davidlong1786]

I found that adjusting the valves to .007 and .011 got rid of any "tap tap tap' noise and it doesn't hurt the valves at all. Also don't over tighten the valve cover because that will make the rocker arms it is attached to lift up which will increase the valve clearance. (dumb design on Toyota's part). Replace that short oil filter with a Purolator PL20195 which is the same diameter but longer so it has better filtration. Don't forget to clean that throttle body (best to take it off so you can clean both sides of it), check the TPS and replace if out of spec and also the AFM. Having a proper operating TPS and AFM is the key to a good running engine.

Amen

[@robbiegoldfinch8137]

Gonna do this to mine

[@enjoilife8238]

Just got my Grandpa's '92, beautiful condition but definitley needs a lot of work. I can't tell you how useful this video was, I will be referring to it a lot these next coming weeks. Thanks, and cheers!

[@robbiegoldfinch8137]

You should show us you battery setup . Those wire are super clean and I need to fix mine 😂

[@dhend999]

I rarely comment on videos, but I wanted to say: I really appreciate your effort videography wise, clean audio, attention to detail, and no BS/rambling. I just picked up a really cool '89 Toyota/Gulfstream motorhome. It's called the Conquest, 22RE & 1-ton dually, fully loaded up with my gear and about to carry me across the country! ... Just as soon as I finish fixing a busted radiator hose, my brake booster suddenly failing from a possible vacuum leak, replacing the alternator after the lower radiator hose/power steering pump shat a bunch of fluids & fried it. Oh, and a new deep cycle battery... 🙄😅 Anything I can do to save maintenance down the road while I'm already bleeding and turning wrenches, I'm all ears. 🌽 I will be saving this video for future reference. Cheers! 👋🙂

[@dhend999]

You got my sub, bro! Toyota's for life 🥹 If you are ever interested in buying an MR2 Spyder, I'm putting one in storage during my trip. I'm considering a sale, if I really like life on the open road. 😀✌️

[@RM_Garage]

Thank you!

[@jimbo2.094]

To get TDC I put it in 4th or 5th gear and just push the car back and forth. This uses the driveline to turn the crankshaft without having to get a wrench on it. Nice video!

[@chipo280z]

I work on cars for a living, but for some reason i always enjoy looking at videos of people working on their cars. Good how to video!! Love the content

[@RM_Garage]

I used to be a motorcycle mechanic, and I find myself watching people working on cars/bikes/trucks more than anything else on KZbin. Totally get it. Thanks!

[@camb565]

Just picked up a bagged 87 4runner. She is in rough shape to put it nicely so this how to video is incredibly helpful. Thanks and please keep the DIY vids coming!

[@RM_Garage]

Awesome! Glad I could help!

[@mikel9633]

Thank you for a video with clear details and instructions. Much appreciated

[@David-dk4oq]

Nice truck man!! Looks like to take care of it nice to c!! Love the video!!

[@mikekelley5033]

Regarding the mobile one I think that’s what I saw you put in that 22 RE is that what you used since the new rebuild. Personally I think the conventional like Castro 10W-30 is best for these older engines. I have driven my 1988 Toyota pick up 22RE automatic for 22 years now. I made the mistake of not replacing a leaky radiator forgot to check it.went to town got seriously hot and blue a head gasket rebuilt The entire engine timing chain everything redone new rings crank turned anyway try never to let these engines get extremely hot almost guaranteed blow a head gasket

[@Iniquityx63]

I just like listening to your voice.

[@Eric-e7b1k]

Hey thanks for the video, nice truck, I just got a 1990

[@codyoscardavid6268]

Killer video dude! I’m rebuilding an 86 4runner and this was super helpful!

[@RM_Garage]

Thanks! I am also building an 86 4runner! Good luck

[@1kush130]

Me too! Cheers guys! Lol

[@Trent28888]

This vid randomly came up,if ya lash ya valves just take out ya spark plugs,it makes it soo much easier to turn and well especially if ya plannin on replacin them in the first place

[@mattd8411]

Awesome video man. Had a 22re for yrs. Just got another from California without rust. I'm going have to work on it but its a nice truck for a tn hunting truck. Seems like I'm going need a valve adjustment and waterpump. Not 100 percent sure. I'd like to just the whole thing rebuilt.

[@123GoBrits]

Where did you get all those aftermarket suspension parts ? I took the starter motor out to change the fuel filter on a 89 22RE. I the oil change is such a mess on those. I buy gloves and use a milk jug with the bottom cut off as a funnel. I rehearse the moment when that drain plug unscrews

[@peterrudy9207]

Some people have soaked their valve cover gasket in 303 Protectant overnight . Wipe off excess with microfiber towel and install .

[@devinmarks4610]

I just use a belt for my oil filter on my 88 lol, thanks for the video though 👍

[@monksotheasin3366]

Any videos upgrade none power gearbox to power gearbox??

[@cammk9415]

Love the videos bro!

[@RM_Garage]

Really appreciate that! Thanks!

[@billythomas4527]

Try and adjust valve cold 007 and 011 more consistent results

[@tuckernorris7479]

Where’s the 4runner been?? Also love the vids dude 👍🏼👍🏼

[@RM_Garage]

Thanks! I ripped the transmission out of it in the previous video, I'm going to take it apart soon and (hopefully) figure out what's wrong

[@tuckernorris7479]

@@RM_Garage good luck man!! Thanks for the reply

[@RM_Garage]

@@tuckernorris7479 As an update to the 4Runner, I tore the transmission complete apart in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npe7gJiqgc2KZsU . Now I plan to buy a rebuild kit and get it all back together. Once that's done, the 4Runner should be back on the road. 👍

[@alvaroeloredo]

Great video man, thanks for sharing.

[@meganfoley4123]

I was waiting for a dad joke about the 2010 BP oil spill 😅🤣 good thing you had cat litter!

[@RM_Garage]

I can’t believe I did that. 😂

[@tooch6756]

Not sure if you mentioned already but where did you get the temperature sensor from?

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

I love the oil thing, thank you. We have all done this, awesome video.

[@RM_Garage]

Thanks!!

[@SS-st6qr]

Where did you get the blue vacuum lines from?

[@RM_Garage]

LCE

[@JorgeLopez-ef5yg]

I really like your how to video, just a quick question I was thinking lifting my 1994 pickup and I was wondering what wheel do you have on yours I’ve been looking for that kind of style

[@RM_Garage]

Thanks! They’re a pro comp 97 series, 17x9 with 37” tires.

[@Samson-EC]

Tough to change oil in wind. It blows the stream 😀

[@jgcruisers]

awesome videos, have 97 fzj80, but have an opportunity to get a 1985 22re xcab but needs tons of work, price is 4k. not running, no rust, missing lots of glass, hood, lights, interior is destroyed. but it was a dealer truck, never sold and less than 400 miles but it has been sitting since 1987, car fax only has 1 thing, shipped to dealer. never registered. I am thinking create a back to the future replica. what do you think?

[@jimbo2.094]

Are those silicone vacuum hoses? I think I need that.

[@RM_Garage]

Yep! From LCE.

[@99FXR]

I have an 86 SR5. Great content

[@xaviertorres6301]

I’m a little confused on what these half moons are and how to install them can anyone lead me to a video or form?

[@kaosalone3748]

What battery tie down do you have? My frame in bent there and I want to be able to tie mine down. Thanks

[@RM_Garage]

It was custom made but very very similar to a trail gear one.

[@kaosalone3748]

@@RM_Garage oh okay, I’ll look into it. Thanks!

[@jamescastells7501]

Is the ground for the distributor located on the inside or the outside of the cap ?

[@jamescastells7501]

Mine was grounded on one of the two Phillips head screws on the outside

[@dundeeecroc]

Did you replace all the belts? 3 of them....

[@Miles-wy1zr]

Hey brother just got one of these automatic transmission. Do you change out the fluid?

[@Random_Car_Guy]

Anyone can help me with adjusting the valves, like what do you mean slight drag. I screwed up the valve specs 2 times and I’m doing it for the 3rd soon. Third time’s the charm.

[@julioheredia4034]

Heard you recently rebuilt the engine, may I ask where you got new head bolts or did you reuse them?

[@RM_Garage]

I bought the truck with the engine freshly rebuilt, immediately cut off all the suspension, straight axled it, and turned it into what you see here! Lol. So I actually didn't rebuild the engine, but I have the receipts. The head bolts were from LCE. You shouldn't reuse them. Part number 1024063

[@hightech-z9c]

fuel filter partnumber

[@Samson-EC]

Why did you adjust valves cold when most folks and Toyota say engine has to be warmed up? Thks

[@RM_Garage]

It wasn't completely cold. It was at operating temp and sitting for a few minutes, so warm but not smoldering

[@Samson-EC]

@@RM_Garage Thks

[@rucuser]

What engine oil do you use?

[@DePalma.]

I’ve had to stab my oil filter through, sideways with a screwdriver then twist loose😂

[@gslimz5809]

Whered you get those spark plug cables?

[@RM_Garage]

Rock auto

[@dimebaggins8709]

Tip: You can use a leather belt to remove an oil filter. Super easy, no special tools needed.

[@RM_Garage]

Tried it on this one! No luck

[@swervysignals3620]

You can also hammer a screwdriver through it
