Freeing Up A Seized Toyota Engine That Was Run Out Of Oil

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I had to replace this engine, but first I needed to get it turning again so I could unbolt the torque converter. The #4 connecting rod big end was seized to the crankshaft, and the piston was stuck pretty good too.

    This looks like a 2.4l 2azfe engine thats the same as in a bunch of other 4 banger toyotas. I have one in my 07 camry with a bearing going out and you can only reach 1 connecting rod without removing the crank case. I'm thinking it's almost identical to this video here, so im going to tear into it. I had tons of flakes from bearing material in the oil pan with a nasty knock after I did the head gasket. Too bad its a manual transmission so I wont have any wiggle room for the crank bearings. Thanks for showing this video it's the only one I've found i wasn't sure it could even be done without pulling the engine and trans.

    Post job update: the biggest hang up was getting the crankcase (upper oil pan) out. The bolts were easy to reach but I recommend removing a section of exhaust because the crankcase itself is very hard to maneuver into place. Overall, lots of gasket material has to be cleaned off, the engine must be retimed, and since it's a manual transmission, the top bearings had to be spun out with a screw in the crankshaft oil port. If I was a shop I would charge probably 2 grand for it because it's tons of tedious labour. Definitely better than pulling the engine with the manual trans though. If you have any questions respond here I might read it.

    @@guygaric940 Check your pcv valve. How many miles are on the car? Mine used to burn that much until the dude at autozone performed surgery on mine. Took the pcv valve and cleaned it out with break cleaner and rust penetrate. Also, check the hose for cracks where it connects to the pcv valve. if it's cracked, the vacuum pressure might be too low from the cracks and may not be opening the valve to let the blowby gases through. If I were you though, I'd replace the pcv hose + valve.

  • @Fopeano

    @Fopeano

    The oil pump definitely takes near the least amount of damage of critical engine parts when there is a loss of oil pressure. If the engine still runs quiet with oil back in it, you can assume the pump to be fine. Certainly any obvious rhythmic knocking or tapping, or erratic squeaking noises (see my Galant video for example of that) means the engine is damaged. What damages pumps is pumping metal particles being produced by a damaged engine. If it ran without oil enough to get damaged and produce metal debris, putting oil back puts some of that debris through the oil pump and causes abnormal wear that can lead to low oil pressure as it wears out prematurely..

    The damage in this case is very severe, and would cost many times more than a used engine to repair the existing engine. This engine would need a new crank, 2 new con rods, rings, bearings, cylinders rebored to larger diameter (due to cylinder wall galling) and a set of OD pistons to fix. I didn't even look at possible damage to the head, but it's very likely there is damage up there too. To summarize, this would only be worth repairing if the engine was some kind of exotic one that could not be obtained used AND was going in a valuable car.

    If the used engine is ok in general, I'd leave the existing oil pump in it. I've never changed the oil pump as part of a used engine install and never had a problem, but I'm talking about customer cars that will see average use. Something to keep in mind is that a new part has no history of doing it's job properly but a used good part is known to be fine. For instance, I'm aware of problems with a certain application of aftermarket VW oil pump where the pump works fine initially but is guaranteed to quickly fail prematurely. If you have the pan off and can look at the screen, that will give you some idea of what the oil pump has been ingesting. If the screen/pickup tube can be completely cleaned, it's fine to re-use. They can get obstructed/clogged, but don't mechanically wear out.

    Was a long time ago, but I remember the bitch bolt in there was accessible only after removing the tube that the oil filter threaded onto. Around 1:20 you can see I undo something there with a 17mm or 19mm socket and then take out the bolt with a 14mm.

  • @Fopeano

    5 жыл бұрын

    Yes, it's in a perfect position to do that. If it's automatic, the torque converter will even allow the crankshaft to be tilted down so you don't have to sheak the upper mains around such a tight spot. I will also say that I would have preferred to be able to replace all the bearings in this particular car. It was about 20 hours to replace the engine, excessive for a 4 cylinder economy car. bearings would have been a quicker job.

    If you unbolt all the main caps at once, the crank is going to sag down against the front seal unless the timing chain is still holding it up. as far as clearance, I can't remember if the bottom of the timing cover is in the way of the #1 main bearing cap.

    This kind of thing causes widespread severe damage. It may be possible to rebuild, but likely at a astronomical cost. What will happen is you have a junkyard engine put in it. They like to call them "Used Salvage" or "OEM Recycled" parts nowadays, but make no mistake that they are junkyard parts. I'm not saying not to put a used engine in, just that it is a used engine that has been sitting for any amount of time. That just means that there will be parts and labor required to make the used engine suitable to be installed into a roadworthy vehicle. Every junkyard engine and transmission I install always needs at least a hour of work and $100 in gaskets, seals, filters, cooler flush, fluids, etc. Good luck dealing with your Expedition, but it may be time to let it go if it's spent it's life in a winter/salt climate like I work in.

It is a 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 it only has 56000 miles on it. So I thought it ran out of gas or a fuse went it was cranking hard but wouldn't kick over so I left it their tried it a couple days later and it sounded like the starter was bad actually jammed it was loud like coming noise coming from the starter. So got a new one the she finally told me what she done. I took off the belt took out the plugs filled them with oil trying to turn with a big straight bar from the bottom pully and it won't turn do you got any more suggestions and do you no if bleach would size the engine.
