Always love seeing that dual time chain! No rubber nonsense

Isnt it great we can still get so many parts for these old engines! LOVED watching this very much, thanks for sharing with us, its a great video!

I love to see your new videos man👍 i did the oil pump on my truck because the pumps odd shaped seal had a crack and leaked violently and it was super easy to replace ive had harder times changing oil on some cars

Talk about timing. Good way to reward myself after a night study session. Edit: I'm surprised you didn't paint the valve cover.😄

@@6thGearGarage I know that feeling.

I would definitely recommend packing grease into the oil pump to help with priming it just for some insurance and smooth operation. And doing work like that your definitely not going to run the oil for very long so its fine for short term use

Yes I did use grease but I forgot to hit record on that part or accidentally deleted the video. When I start it for the first time I'll show to pull the plugs and crank the engine first to build pressure.

Another good way to remove seals is screw a sheet metal screw in and grab it with locking pliers or a slide hammer. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks! Earlier this year I remember thinking "I'll probably be driving this thing by fall!" lol You know how it goes...

You are doing such a thorough/prevention job. I loved my 81 I had, my ONLY complaint was it was a 4speed no overdrive & guzzled fuel on the turnpike. I'm not sure if I had a 20R or 22R. Locking hubs, it was a tank. Can't wait to see yours done!👍

Bad tuning??? Not tuned for altitude? Bad carb?? Retarded timing?? Bet your timing chain has stretched retarding the cam and ignition timing/fix...adjustable cam gear from LCE...... Ive got a LCE stage 2 stroker, 160HP and get 18 to 19 freeway at sea level. 31" tires, 4.56 gears, bed cap, winch, wrap around bumpers, heavier then OEM. Best I ever got and it was once with the OEM 103HP 22R was 21MPG freeway and that was with the tailgate removed, stock tires, no load....

Thanks, I’m glad to be getting close to getting it running/driving.

You should consider a dual stage thermostat, Toyota sell one that is $50-60, but you can buy a similar for under $10 from most part stores.

LCE has them...less then $50....also a v6 rad fits 85's to 95's....have to do slight mod to under hood to miss the cap...I run a LCE stage 2 stroker, 160HP, .50 lift cam and need the V6 rad and dual stage thermostat....Never goes over 190 degrees...

also stock fan shroud fits V6 rad....I pop riveted a strip of rubber across the open 1 1/4 inch at the bottom of rad..works like a flap valve, lets air through while moving, shuts while standing with just the fan sucking

Search for part #41492, Motorad makes them. I have ordered them from Napa, Autozone, and Orilleys.

Buen video, sin embargo no me gustó la manera de colocar el retenedor 12:43 a golpes no me parece bien.

I'm sure there is a special service tool for the job but I do not have it.

Would probably have been a good time to adjust valves since the cover is off and all

The engine has to be warm when adjusting valves on these trucks. It was sounding very healthy before I removed it, just leaking a lot of oil through the front seal.

What type of grease is the red grease on the rear main seal?

It was just some rear bearing grease that I had. Triflow was the brand.
