Toyota's New Engine assembly Full start to finish!

A Rare look at Toyota's new engine assembly. A Toyota master diagnostic technician takes you on a journey on the full reassembly of Toyota's new dynamic force engine the A25A-FKS 2.5L.
In this video I will put together this new engine and narrate over the images all the different components of the engine and how everything went back together up to the point of starting up.
These are not some production images that I googled. This is an actual engine that I hand assembled and installed in the car from start to finish at my job as a Toyota technician at a Toyota dealership.
Note to owners of this engine. I said this in the video but I will mention it again. This is a single case failure and not a common problem. Don't be worried about your engine. I always encourage you to take care of your car and it will take care of you. Many people don't take care of rental cars so let's take 2 additional thoughts out of this video. Be careful when buying ex rental cars as they tend to have a hard life And Drive rental cars as you'd drive your own car so in the future when other people buy them, they won't be buying a beaten car by the renters! Thank you!
For my regular viewers. I typically attempt to make my videos follow a theme of Simple but complicated, however in this one things might get a bit technical and fast, If you have any questions about anything please feel free to leave a comment and I'll be more than happy to clarify anything.

That was the first thought in my head when I saw this, a rental car. In my 40+ years as a dealer mechanic, I can honestly say that rental cars are a very close second to young, inexperienced drivers when it comes to vehicle abuse and neglect. I tell everyone that's looking for a late model vehicle to never buy a former rental car, I've seen way too many of these rental vehicles that have a stellar reputation for reliability that are on their last leg at a low mileage due to abuse/neglect.

[@TheCarCareNut]

Agreed 100%! I wouldn’t recommend a former rental car

[@JusMG559]

Then it’s only a matter of time before my former rental camry blows a piston through the hood 🤣.

[@jamram9924]

I have a niece that was a manager at the airport Enterprise Rental. It was standard practice to reset the “maintenance light” on many rentals because they did not make money while the car was out of service. Many rental cars went well over their intended service intervals.

[@AvoidableCorn]

I had a Corolla that was a rental for it’s first 30,000 miles. It was an awesome car. Never had an issue.

[@poluticon]

@@JusMG559 LOL same here dude! My 2018 was also a former rental, so far so good 2 years and 21k miles later though, so knock on wood.

I'm sure the dealer racks in all the benefits with added sales. I know i would greatly trust that dealership with our friend as a top mechanic technician. I'm not sur our friend gets the appropriate consideration from his employer. The least the dealer can do is let our friend take pictures.

[@andrewyear81]

I believe the hesd honchos in Japan are worried about company espionage. A channel on KZbin showed that volvo had a US connection by a 2001 BMW 530i (In 2001) and ship it to Sweden. They then fastened different quick release sensor on different parts of the exhaust and intake. They measured blowby going into the intake too. When they were done, they sent it back to the US with the quick release fittings still on as it didn't have an effect on drive ability. They either forgot to fill in the pin holes (or didn't bother ) on the manifold that could only be detected via smoke test. That 530i was an Ultra low emissions vehicle (ULEV) rare at the time.

[@charlesjackson1700]

That is really a great and well planned out engine.. I have a 2020 Camry XLE with that engine.The fuel economy is unbelievable. I just went on a 200 mile trip and on the way to my destination I got 48.2 mi to the gallon. After I got back home and I did some very hard accelerations on the interstate I still got 46 MPGs. After you drive one of those cars with the 8-speed automatic transmission you learn where different power bands are at certain speeds.. It is hard to explain but that car will really move out good if you know how to drive it. It is a buttery smooth engine as well. Unlike the new Honda Accord I had considered buying before I purchased it..

@@a.a7648 I don't need you to speak for me or to try to correct me for anything.. When I first got that car the same trip I got 46.2.. one year later 48.2. You apparently don't know how to get the best fuel efficiency. I also have an XLE which has three driving modes and I keep it in the Eco mode when on a trip.. If you had anything other than the XSE or XLE you cannot compare your vehicle to mine... They only have one driving mode.. I was driving between 65 and 70 at times and did not tack but 1,250 RPMs . Also on the road when you are driving a hybrid the tac is running much higher.. They are not AS efficient on highway driving . However it would be better in town than mine. I AM VERY IMPRESSED BY THIS CAR AS I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN HONDA'S/ACURA'S BEFORE.

[@charlesjackson1700]

@@rightlanehog3151A hybrid gets better mileage in town. If I can get 48 miles to the gallon on the highway with a naturally aspired engine and an 8-speed transmission I will take that any day.. I do not care for a CVT transmission which would be in the hybrid Camry.. It is a very numb and vague driving experience.. maybe in the near future I will have no alternative but until then I want a real transmission that has gears and not a one speed CVT.

The attention to detail that is involved in this kind of job is overlooked. People don’t see behind the scenes of what some repairs actually entail. Absolute respect for the ones that do this day in and day out. Pure backbone of keeping the country moving!! Love this channel!

[@jamram9924]

Wow! Reminds me of rebuilding engines with my dad. We would send the blocks out to be oversized and the heads to be reground, new valve stems, seats, guides. Like a surgeon, my father would clean his hands and I handed him the tools as he delicately reassembled the engines. I was only 8 when he had me rebuild a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor.

Thank you for your hard work!!!

[@jaimieconroy36]

I enjoyed watching the breakdown and assembly of this engine. It is not a DIY project, but it was fun to watch a Toyota master technician demonstrate how it is done. You would make an excellent teacher at a trade school. Maybe you can do a video series with more detailed instruction. Even if most of us will never be able to achieve master technician status, having an education could teach us how to do simpler maintenance on our car.

[@erik9108]

Excellent 'break down' of everything you did. Thank you for taking us on the journey with you.

[@hiersdable]

Man, your stuff is great, I always learn a ton. My RAV4's shop manual says that the plastic water jacket thingy does more that just suppress gurgling: "The water jacket spacer suppresses the water flow in the bottom of the water jackets, guides the coolant in the upper area of the water jacket, and ensures uniform temperature distribution. As a result, the viscosity of the engine oil that acts as a lubricant between the bore walls and the pistons can be lowered, thus reducing friction.".

[@willis936]

He's obviously put in thousands of hours of both classroom training and testing, then learned from hands on practice and experience. *#much respect!

[@capnpugwash5403]

Down on hands and knees bowing to a super being. Watching this and your two part introduction to the new engine made me very nostalgic for my old Ford Cortina Mk111. Ok it had the classic poor oil feed to the OHC, but an upgraded feed and a new cam and it was rock solid. There was even space in the engine bay. Not an engine management system anywhere to be seen. I even went high tech, and put an after market electric cooling fan.

[@jamesc60]

The complexity of this is unbelievable! Everyone should watch this and then give major appreciation to the engineers who design these engines and the mechanics that work on them. And we expect these things to go over 100,000 miles. Amazing!

[@garybulwinkle82]

I was wondering how much more complex this engine is than your old 22R? Just hypothesizing, I'd say about five times more complicated maybe just five times the number of parts! That means if you figure parts are made with the same reliability as before, this engine will have a problem five times as often as the simpler engine! Dad always said, "just get the wind up windows; less likely to break".

[@s.j.5850]

I want my engine to last more than 200,000 miles!

[@Normambo]

I'm really impressed by your skills and ability to take an engine that complex apart and put it back together running properly. It makes me wonder if all dealerships have that kind of experienced and able technicians to service my car. I just got a brand new Hybrid Highlander; i hope my dealership has this level of quality technicians. Engines are at an incredible level of sophistication today that technicians ought to be top notch with with a good head on their shoulders.

A couple of weeks ago my wife and I bought a 2021 RAV4 LE AWD as well and AMD is the reason I knew how to break it in slowly and to change the oil after the first 1,000 miles. Even though it's more maintenance, I'm going to continue following his schedule to take as good of care as I can.

[@ms9400]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I'm about to embark on my first a25a short block adventure and this guide is sure to make my life at least a little bit easier.

[@TheCarCareNut]

Hi! Best of luck! They appear intimidating but they’re not hard at all, just don’t forget that little valve on the block behind the back front cover. Everything else is smooth sailing. You’ll probably take the intake manifold off 3 times to route everything because it kinda of all over laps. Also depending on the model it’s very likely that the torque converter will pull out with the engine that’s why I would drop the cradle down which is very easy as it’s one piece

[@ms9400]

Actually, YES! the TC did in fact come out & stay with the engine; almost made me think I forgot a TC bolt, but all 6 were there. Almost identical issue, hole in the block, but this one lost the number 3 cyl. The only cause that we can figure is LOF got done about 100 miles prior to failure. While no oil weight was on any receipt, the first receipt said "conventional" & the second receipt said "semi-synthetic blend" so I lucked out and the job is customer-pay instead of warranty. My only nervousness(es) is my ADHD & the fact I've never ever done a short-block before; EVER! I've swapped a few engines, but we got the short block in and I'm like "where's the crankcase?!??! I think my toughest part so far is sooooo much wiring harness involved!! The head bolts were freakin' impossible to get off as well but I got them. Now that I've waited a week or more for parts to come in, time to get to work on it tomorrow! I tell ya though, the balance shafts just work as a meat grinder on those pistons once they snap from the rod!

"Use the Toyota Dynamic Force, Luke..." ;-) You have provided a public service here, AMD. Most drivers don't know what's under a car's sheet metal. They might assume it is solid steel. And when you open the hood of a Toyota many of the folk examining all of the metal and plastic and rubber objects might be hard-pressed to figure out how these things work together to make the engine operate and move the car where the driver wants it to go. But now you have explained what all those strange things do--and how they work together as the Prime Mover. And it all makes sense! So, thanks for your excellent presentation, AMD! It demonstrates that, no matter what your age or education, learning can still be painless.

There are a lot of things that are done to save money as well as getting salvaged parts and other things get used from the junkyard.. Warranty contractors jump on this full force and many dealers do as well..

i can appreciate the timing and effort you put into the rebuild. Most shops would push their customers to replace with a low mileage donor engine. My preference is installing JDM (Japanese Domestic Manufacturer) engines pulled, shrink wrapped and sent to the USA with under 40,000 miles. So far installed in a 98 LS400, 07 RX350 and 97 CRV with great success. These engines are dirt cheap compared to a rebuilt/remanufactured and come with everything attached (i.e. intake plenum, fuel rails, fuel injectors, coil packs, water pump, alternator, ac condenser, p/s pump, belts, etc. After installation, customer feedback have been "car runs like new!".

Much respect from one tech to another. Very handy work on such a new engine, dropped much knowledge too. Was it the cylinder head that the Japanese warning said to keep away from sharp objects? Thats the only thing I can think of that would be so sensitive. I bet if you sent pieces of that debris off for analysis you would probably find metals, that did not come from that vehicle. I just can't imagine what would have cause that besides sending a coin or similar through the intake, downstream from the filter whilst someone is revving the engine. How does the rental company not charge previous renter? Thank you and may God continue his blessings to you and your family.

Can you do a video on Tacoma frame replacement, everything that goes into it and what is replaced ,I just bought one that just had it done and was wondering what fluids were replaced among other things.... thanks

[@donniev8181]

I hope you will do a future video on replacing the pcv valve on this engine. Thanks for the video!

Awesome brother! Looking forward to a transmission assembly next!

[@TheCarCareNut]

Hey brother! I actually have a transmission sitting in my garage. Waiting for time to tear it apart on video

@@TheCarCareNut Wow, that is so sweet. Never in my 17 years of driving, I've had an engine or transmission problem in a Toyota. It was intriguing to know about that rental car that needed a new engine. Now I understand why used rental cars have screaming deals!

If this car was driven hard enough to cause that much engine damage, it'll probably need a tranny in the near future too.
