Mechanic tips, the engine stand bolt positioning is fine, the part you were referring to, is the water bypass joint, definitely replace the timing chain while you're in there, and after you soak and clean the block, check for cracks and cylinder wear!

As a retired Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician, I am enjoying watching this. You also remind me of how glad I am that I retired! From what I have seen, that engine looks 100% normal and for the mileage very clean.

@@RealBlueLady They give him tons of credit. He’s clearly a rather quiet and introverted guy, and doesn’t love the limelight. It would probably be rather awkward for him to be mentioned constantly or featured more than they already do! Seems they actively try to strike a balance between being respectful of this while also including him as much as possible. Joel seems very similar. Doesn’t mind being on camera, but doesn’t want to be constantly featured or called on for content. Some people are perfectly fine being in a supportive role and THAT is what makes them shine and feel good.

I love how open you are to feedback. So many KZreadrs make the HUGE mistake of engaging in arguing with or trying to act like they know more than their viewers, which is always a recipe for disaster. You and Allie have always treated the viewers like family, and as a result you get that same respect and love in return. Of course, there will always be the haters and naysayers, but you both even handle that so well by just laughing it off or not feeding into it. Always such an inspiration to stay positive! Loving the addition of Trent’s Garage. Finally getting to catch up on the episodes and it’s awesome!

😊 I have no idea what you’re doing, but I’m so impressed that you’re able to do it. Love to you, Allie, and Brandon 💕

Never dull with Trent at the Helm.

This is so much fun to watch. I'm hearing names of engine parts I've heard before but never had a clue where they were in an engine and most importantly, why they are needed. Thanks for taking those of us along who know zero about what you're doing. It's nice to see the information you ask for and the answers you are receiving. Yet again, I am learning something new. Thanks to you Trent, Allie and Brandon. You are all such a treat to share what you are doing, learning and already know. This is fun.

Trent, you should have good access to some quality automotive machine shops in your area. Take the short block to them for inspection. They’ll be able to check all of those critical tolerances you are concerned with and save you spending lots of money on the special tools required.

I am not a mechanic but I am thoroughly enjoying this new channel. Thank you

Why do I watch this?!? I’m 48 year old mom of three. And I’m glued. WTH?! Lol. I will literally NEVER do this. But I’m so enthralled. Also he made me spit out my drink when he said “and then I’ll wonder what the heck does E mean?!!” I’ve done that a million times 😂😂 so relatable.

Toyota and their love of external coolant hoses. That last Toyota I did I spent just as much time on the motor as chasing all the coolant clamps that were leaking. With the engine stand you really just need to make sure your center of mass is good so it doesn't tip over when you roll the motor. Sometimes it's easier to take the stand mount off the stand and get it how you want it on the engine and then put it back on the stand with the engine. Also that engine doesn't look terrible. It just looks like an engine with some miles on it.

RODS: use a number stamp to mark each half of the rod WHILE STILL ASSEMBLED. Remove, take to machine shop for reconditioning. They press the bolts out, shave .001-.0015 off the mating surfaces, press NEW bolts in and put on a rod-hone (to make a perfectly round hole). When reassembling the rods, you can tell which way they go, by the chamfer (chamfer goes on the side of the journal on the counterweight side)

It’s always easier to take them apart. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.

I'm 65 yr old widow I've been watching you and Allie since you came back to your mom's place. I'm a musician a nurse, a 100 ton captain done a lot of restoration and painting.

This channel makes me remember my childhood. My dad was a mechanic, and I had to help a lot. I carried a many many transmission with my dad. I remember all used trans were $125 on his junk car lot. I can only imagine how much a used trans is now 40 years later.

It’s called a Doohickey 😁 Yep we’re here watching love this stuff

Woohoo! Lets get this party started! So many memories of younger years, waking up thinking of that 350 Chevy engine I get to rebuild to put in my '68 Chevy stepside to go drag racing!! My baby brother was never more proud of big sis!! We went to town and kicked but!! (Factory 410 rear end gear was a beast for drag racing!) Thanks for sharing!!

That oddball configuration on the engine stand will be fine. I've done worse lol. I know you know this, but be careful tightening up everything, since you're dealing with aluminum. Send that block out to the machine shop to clean and measure everything. Probably have to bore it .10 or more. Don't know if you plan on any internal performance parts or not, but it may be worth it to just get a reman. block also. Good call on the reman trans. Only way to go.

I am impressed with your knowledge and abilities Trent. My husband rebuilt an engine 46 years ago and I was amazed that I could recall some of the stuff you were doing. Much easier take apart and the electronics were so much simplier then. I am really enjoying watching you. Remember, E for engine.... LOL Your subscriber numbers are growing rapidly. Congrats.

Trent, I think I saw you using a torque wrench to break loose head bolts. That is not a good thing to do. Before I go any further, I am a retired mechanic. If you do not not have a proper break over bar, go to the local harbour freight spend a few bucks and get one. Lot cheaper than new torque wrench. Not professional grade for sure but for your needs weekend mechanic it will work very well. Good to see Brandon your buddy always around to help. Wishing all a great week, see you tomorrow on Trent and Allie. God Bless in all you do.

I admire your sense of adventure in ripping this engine down to its bowels not knowing if it's been serviced properly during its life. as a working truck engine... Sort of like my cardiologist having a real look at my arteries & valves. 😮

Loving the vive keep it coming, everybody having fun.

I’m glad you know what you’re talking about and doing!!😊This is like watching a magician! Haven’t heard Dagnabbit said out loud since my dad passed away! He could have talked your talk but not walk your walk,(in other words could tell you how things worked but could never fix anything!)

You can convert the truck to a manual transmission if you wanted to that. It is a pain in the butt but can be done. I did it with a truck that my Dad had bought. The transmission was bad in the truck and his motor was blown in his truck. We married the 2 and created a running 1978/1979 Ford F-150 4x4. Looks like a fun project. I suggest that you also replace the alternator, starter anything you don't want to break down later - timing belt/chain too.

Another good video and glad Allie is filming it. Nice for her to also gain knowledge of how these things work. Love it!

Just a pointer but every part taking off use ziplock bags and Sharpie to identify all bolts to the that part. You might have a good memory but you may not get back the build for a while!

You put the D in DIY. Trent, great video enjoyed watching. Reminded me of back in the day rebuilding the 302 v8 in my dads Bronco, in his Garage. Great Times

Trent I’ve used 3/8 bolts and nuts to hold 4 and 6 cylinders onto the stand. It’s not a big block. And it’s not under operating stresses. Fun to watch your progress and your process! Can’t wait for next week.

Before you take the main caps off (they have an arrow pointing towards the front of the block) be sure that they are numbered. If not, use a file to make marks for reassembly. While out, get some Emory cloth and polish the crank journals. Pressure clean or steam all the surfaces and passages then immediately bathe in automatic trans fluid. Maybe chamfer the journal oil holes. And ALWAYS, EVERY TIME, replace the oil pump. EVERY time!!! This is the “heart” which allows the engine to live. NEVER store cranks, or camshafts, on the horizontal. Put a couple nails in the wall and hang them vertically. Take the block to a machine shop (automotive) and let them bore it .030 over, and hone (I recommend a SUNNEN CK 10 hone) for a PERFECT finish. This machine has adjustable load on the stones and by watching the load meter, it’s easy to see excess drag, which will occur with metal distortions due to bolt pressures (torquing the bolts). Just the way to go…as is using slave plates WHILE honing.

I agree. Those bolts should be fine. The only problem I'd see is that if the housing is cracked, then the added stress could break the it.. But if that is the case, then you want to find out now anyway.

Super cool Trent two big thumbs up 👍👍 Will catch you on the next one

Whenever you're working on an engine, especially in newer vehicles, it really pays to take a lot of photos so you can see how to put all the "stuff" back on it. I'm working on a 69 Mustang, and pulling the 390 out. It's only got 4 wires but I still marked them. I also took a lot of photos on how all the brackets went on the engine, especially since I'm swapping in a completely different engine into the car.

Awesome thanks enjoy much love and blessings

Trent, you amaze me with your knowledge of engines, I don't think anybody could attempt what you are doing if they didn't have the nohow. Best wishes to you all, from Mike. ❤

Taking it apart is the easy part, now putting it together is a different. When all said and done might have been cheaper to get a rebuilt or more money for a new crate motor.

🦋 growing up I did see and know that my dad did a lot of the same kind of work on things that Trent does, I just don’t think in this country we give people enough credit for all the different kinds of skills that they have and have picked up over the years and I think that’s pretty amazing. And when you have a chance like Trent’s giving us to watch it in a video I think that will help people gain more respect for these kind of things. Because I for one and from the comments I’m seeing many people that are watching this have not got a clue about this kind of thing but find it very interesting to watch. So thank you Trent for the channel and thank you Allie for doing the filming. So let’s get started.💖😍

A lot of these skills used to be taught in school also. When I went to High School I took all the metal fab and engines classes my school offered. Unfortunately there wasn't a lot of desire to get into those classes so the school eventually nixed the programs. Super sad day. I am very thankful I took those classes bc it's saved me a lot of money being able to work on my own vehicles or build projects around my house.

Hey Trent, you done fine on the motor stand. Make sure you get a digital maintenance manual. For all the specs. and torque specs. And diagrams on how parts go back together.

Allie I'm here to give you support, having to stand there with a camera and watch boys being boys, tearing things apart, should be hard. I'm having an exiety already, too many parts removed.🤣

Trent, I think one of the most important things you have to do for a long engine life is to change the oil and filter as recommended. four hundred thousand miles is a lot but keeping this engine maintained is the secret.

Wow Trent you really amaze me at how great you are with the work you do on this engine and how knowlegable you are on all of this mechanical stuff.

Great job on the explanation of the disassembly process. I also appreciate the humility you showed during this episode. Keep up the great content!!!!! ***SUBSCRIBED***

Hey Trent,, That engine sling goes forward to aft, not side to side on the engine,, the crank is to level the weight out,, just saying

This reminds me of me trying to work on watches. Had a box full of parts. Could not get one watch to run. Anyway have fun

I think your safe for now with the missing small bolt. If you feel worried about it just go get one when your in town next. Maybe before you start really working hard on the engine. Also get some sand bags or extra weight on the legs of the stand. It helps to steady it when wrenching hard or banging or pulling.

Jay Leno may already be a subscriber! Such engaging content rich with Trentisms and open engine blocks 😁

Very nice progress. Disassembly is, wow that came apart pretty quickly . The Assembly takes so much longer. The devil is in the detail.

When removing Auto box leave the convertor in the box remove it from the driveplate the reverse for reasembly adding some auto fluid to the convertor before putting it back into the pump which needs to be done carefully to avoid damage to front seal 👍

Dude is still yelling at us lol. I have to be ready to hit the volume control key on my keyboard when the shouting starts. Wife, help him! On a another note, impressed with your knowledge to tackle this project. I'm good at destruction but not the best at reconstruction.

I now know how all the pros feel for trades when watching you build your house LOL. It hurt me watching the trans be pulled without unbolting the torque converter. And having that nice tilt adapter for your engine hoist and not using it. If you bolted that from front to back you could have used it instead of the ratchet strap. I give the advice, and crap all in good fun. I have a ton of respect for you willing to take this project on. Also, since you’re going through all that effort with the rebuild, gotta buy a parts cleaner to make it all look pretty 😊

Trent, it is so satisfying watching you “TEAR DOWN” your 1gr-fe Toyota Tacoma motor. Due to the fine cinematography of the beautiful Allie, I was able to closely follow your step by step disassembly of the engine. It was well worth going on this journey with you until the end when you pulled the oil pan and exposed the crank! What a sight. What a marvel of engineering and parts manufacturing and assembly. How often do we get to see that? Thanks, Dr. Trent and your assistant, Dr. Brandon, for allowing us in the balcony to watch this surgical procedure.

I would like to add that I noticed a variety of tooling that you used for this disassembly. I am certain that specific wrenches, or attachments to your power tools were required to get to many of those bolts. Would you consider a separate video on the how, what, and why’s of the tools required in such a complex procedure?

Ok.. I really like these new videos. I'm 66 years old, and when I was 16, I told my dad I wanted to be the first to have an all girl mechanics shop. He said, "NO YOU'RE A GIRL" (I have 4 brothers). LOL, I was going to be a stewardess, he said. Didn't happen. LOL, I got married, and 2 kids and 3 grandbabies later. I still wish I knew how to do my own auto repairs. :-) No ME movement 50 years ago. Hahahaha

when disassembling all of the mooter parts and acc put the nuts and bolts from that part in bags and label it will make assembling a lot easier for you

This was awesome!

Just after Allie says something Trent responds with “That’s what she said!” at mark: 3:03 😂😂😂

That's the first time I've ever seen someone tear and engine down.Im definitely no motor head.ive changed the oil & filter in my vehicles and that's the extent of my engine experience LOL. So it's pretty cool watching you take it apart like that. I'm to good at breaking things so I would never attempt anything like that.Ive had one motor blow up on me in an eagle vision going down the road and it come apart and had to be roll backed home and I put the car up for sale as is and a young guy came and took it away and I got $500 out of it.

Engine looks pretty good for mileage it has. Toyota tough!! Betting not far out of specs.

Your engine will be fine on the stand. You have two secured at the top where force is greater. two on the side, 4pt connection is good.

I learned how to work on cars and trucks by in jr high school I checked out car repair manuals and read them cover to cover sometimes checking it out 2 or 3 times

Sure is easier doing this out on an engine stand rather than laying on your back on the ground and leaning over the fenders!! Wishing you the best as you evaluate the block!!!
