What car makers won't tell you that power output relative to engine capacity in modern turbocharged engines is such as it was it group IV (highest competition class) cars in the early 80s, while materials remained the same. In most cases, no magnesium, no titanium, no ceramic alloys, just iron, steel and aluminium. Back then these engines were supposed to do 3-5 thousand kilometers before a complete rebuilt. These modern engines are effectively competition engines and owners should have over-average technical knowledge if he doesn't want to damage then in no time.

As a mechanic, I absolutely LOVE how apparent it is that Robert has wrenched and built engines himself. Also, how awesome of the Toyota dealer to let you film this in there!

Just a thought you could ask Toyota to fix it for free and pay you £25k for the privilege, then get a commission on future sales.

I agree but usually by using cars on track you loose warranty anyway, but yes it would be nice if they would share the costs, the rocker arm shouldn´t have failed at such a small overrev, i think this was a material issue anyway.

Because i was still roling and restarted the engine there was an ESP-failure which took it off :D:D but I wouldn´t recommend this.

I'm far from being an expert, but if the ICU doesn't show over-rev, it would indicate that the engine remained within manufacturer spec, and the actual cause of the breakdown was a manufacturing defect inside one of the bearings, which might have been revealed through a slight over-rev, but then again, it might have just failed after a heat-cycle. In any case, I think Toyota should think about covering the expenses.

@jmblur

3 жыл бұрын

Agreed! If it was still within spec enough that the ECU didn't log it, it sounds like the overrev was minimal and possibly still within red line. Of course, I'm not sure Robert cares so much about the cost of the repair on a Yaris compared to a lot of the other cars in the fleet, the downtime is a lot more costly than the repair. I appreciate Robert's honesty but this is definitely a situation where a causal omission would have gone a long way. That said... Misery means clicks, so he probably will earn more money admitting it than not!

It's an interesting problem. Whether there is enough data logged to get a meaningful sequence of events out of it, whether the parts can be X-rayed or microscoped to expose a potential weakness etc. Maybe get Toyota interested and ship the damaged parts to Japan? In retrospect, as long as there is no overrev logged, it *would* have been a warranty job.

@kreiseltower

I think the cause might be not even the over-rev per se but the over acceleration of the affected parts. Just to put in some numbers going from 2000 rpm to 7000 rpm in 5 milliseconds might be ok for the bearings and lubrication... and springs... but going from 2000 rpm to 7000 rpm in 0,5 milliseconds might cause damage like ejecting a retainer pin although the engine isn't really overreved.

@kain0m

@@kreiseltower na, accelerations isn't an issue for the rockers. At 7000 RPM, the cams are rotating almost 60 times per second. So the rockers are going up and down every 20ms. Acceleration of the engine wouldainly hurt the transmission, and maybe the timing chains, but not throw a rocker off.

@@kain0m I do not mean acceleration of the car, but angular acceleration of that bearing where the rockers sit on etc... I don't remember exactly, but how does that axle of the rocker mount sit on that bearing? Is it a press fit? There must be a (design) limit on how fast you can accelerate or decellarate from one rev. number to another and this could have been the failing point.

In a way you've effectively done an accelerated stress testing on the engine and highlighted the component most likely to fail (the bearings for the valve rocker arms) Something for Toyota to pick up and work on in their next iteration.

@Richard_AKL

I think it's the other way round - I think the big rev difference stretched the chain, caused the timing to go out so the piston hit the valve, and that's what caused the other damage... pushed the valve up while cam follower was trying to push it down, and then it was just a matter of time until the follower failed and caused the valve to drop which was when it got bent

I had a customer take pictures of their engine and then post those pictures on an enthusiast forum. That might be the extreme though (that was about 12 years ago), but I think if the customer just wants to look and ask questions of the technician they would first make sure the tech is OK with it first and then let him come in, especially if the customer is paying for the repair vs warranty.

Great breakdown on the failure Robert! You really dodged a bullet if all of the debris stayed in the top end of the motor. It wouldn't take much for one of those needle bearings to make its way into the bottom end and cause some major carnage. Good call on replacing all the rockers, they all endured the same overrev and I wouldn't want another one to decide to let go shortly after the rebuild. Any thought of trying to source some forged internals and upgraded valvetrain "while you're in there"? Keep up the excellent content!

Admire Robert for the honesty and taking responsibility for the damage. Time will tell if the over-rev was actually severe enough to cause the problem, or if we will see similar failures in other GR Yaris in the future.

Our teacher wasn’t super well organized, so most days in grades 9-10, we were just told to go take something apart and put it back together again. One “big project” we did through a semester was taking apart and reassembling one of the old engines. Good times.

Dunno if you got lucky, or if it's just a good design by Toyota, but that does look like really minimal damage and I agree that it makes sense to replace all the rockers. If those are the engineered failure point, the others could well be on the way out. You gonna keep that piston? :D

Great video Robert! Very well explained.

Glad you liked it!

That is first class service from Autohaus Henn. Really really cool to see the engine stripped down to parts and also the extent of the damage. I hope I'll get to drive this car later this year given that traveling is allowed again.

If no over-rev is logged then I would have thought this would be covered under warranty? I hope this is a failure point that is corrected in later cars. Mine arrives May '22.

Can they really read the ECU rpm data back, for 5 laps which is 100+ km? Might have been the good old "Kid, I saw you smokin'..." trick (even though you didn't, obv.)😁🤷‍♂️.

@@kapsoztatoltott4537 Don't think the ECU stores a lot of data at all, just the last events, I.e. it is not like a "black box".

@@jamescaley9942 Some premium ECUs hold timers which count how long have you been above certain revs. It would look like a given rpm and time the motor was above that. it takes one timer and a reference value and it does not use a lot of ECU memory.

@Do One lol. You should do a bit more research.

What did it say the max rpm was when they plugged it into the diagnostics?

Didn’t show any alarms :-(

Awesome to see the teardown. Looking forward to seeing back doing laps again. Will be interesting to see if this happens to others as time goes by to see whether there is any inherent issue with the design, or simply just an over-rev with a cold & heat cycle creating issues as you'd mentioned.
