Simple Maintenance That Can Help Your Toyota Run FOREVER: 22RE Pickup & 4Runner 

If you're into this content, I'm currently rebuilding a W56 transmission which I think you'd enjoy! ► W56 Complete Disassembly Step-by-Step: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hfXOetLhW0c.html

17:23 "who designed this" geniuses, my friend, geniuses

I just got lucky and found a 1985 Toyota Hilux with the 22R carbureted engine. Running smooth and not in such bad shape. I'm really stoked. I have been told that these engines are indestructible, I have been watching videos non-stop on these engines so I can learn how to work on them and keep it alive and in good running conditions for another 30 years lol. Thank you for your video. Every video helps.

I found that adjusting the valves to .007 and .011 got rid of any "tap tap tap' noise and it doesn't hurt the valves at all. Also don't over tighten the valve cover because that will make the rocker arms it is attached to lift up which will increase the valve clearance. (dumb design on Toyota's part). Replace that short oil filter with a Purolator PL20195 which is the same diameter but longer so it has better filtration. Don't forget to clean that throttle body (best to take it off so you can clean both sides of it), check the TPS and replace if out of spec and also the AFM. Having a proper operating TPS and AFM is the key to a good running engine.

To get TDC I put it in 4th or 5th gear and just push the car back and forth. This uses the driveline to turn the crankshaft without having to get a wrench on it. Nice video!

I work on cars for a living, but for some reason i always enjoy looking at videos of people working on their cars. Good how to video!! Love the content

Just got my Grandpa's '92, beautiful condition but definitley needs a lot of work. I can't tell you how useful this video was, I will be referring to it a lot these next coming weeks. Thanks, and cheers!

This vid randomly came up,if ya lash ya valves just take out ya spark plugs,it makes it soo much easier to turn and well especially if ya plannin on replacin them in the first place

I rarely comment on videos, but I wanted to say: I really appreciate your effort videography wise, clean audio, attention to detail, and no BS/rambling. I just picked up a really cool '89 Toyota/Gulfstream motorhome. It's called the Conquest, 22RE & 1-ton dually, fully loaded up with my gear and about to carry me across the country! ... Just as soon as I finish fixing a busted radiator hose, my brake booster suddenly failing from a possible vacuum leak, replacing the alternator after the lower radiator hose/power steering pump shat a bunch of fluids & fried it. Oh, and a new deep cycle battery... 🙄😅 Anything I can do to save maintenance down the road while I'm already bleeding and turning wrenches, I'm all ears. 🌽 I will be saving this video for future reference. Cheers! 👋🙂

Just picked up a bagged 87 4runner. She is in rough shape to put it nicely so this how to video is incredibly helpful. Thanks and please keep the DIY vids coming!

Regarding the mobile one I think that’s what I saw you put in that 22 RE is that what you used since the new rebuild. Personally I think the conventional like Castro 10W-30 is best for these older engines. I have driven my 1988 Toyota pick up 22RE automatic for 22 years now. I made the mistake of not replacing a leaky radiator forgot to check it.went to town got seriously hot and blue a head gasket rebuilt The entire engine timing chain everything redone new rings crank turned anyway try never to let these engines get extremely hot almost guaranteed blow a head gasket

I just like listening to your voice.

Killer video dude! I’m rebuilding an 86 4runner and this was super helpful!

Some people have soaked their valve cover gasket in 303 Protectant overnight . Wipe off excess with microfiber towel and install .

Hey thanks for the video, nice truck, I just got a 1990

Awesome video man. Had a 22re for yrs. Just got another from California without rust. I'm going have to work on it but its a nice truck for a tn hunting truck. Seems like I'm going need a valve adjustment and waterpump. Not 100 percent sure. I'd like to just the whole thing rebuilt.

Try and adjust valve cold 007 and 011 more consistent results

Where did you get all those aftermarket suspension parts ? I took the starter motor out to change the fuel filter on a 89 22RE. I the oil change is such a mess on those. I buy gloves and use a milk jug with the bottom cut off as a funnel. I rehearse the moment when that drain plug unscrews

I just use a belt for my oil filter on my 88 lol, thanks for the video though 👍

I love the oil thing, thank you. We have all done this, awesome video.

Tough to change oil in wind. It blows the stream 😀

I was waiting for a dad joke about the 2010 BP oil spill 😅🤣 good thing you had cat litter!

Great video man, thanks for sharing.

Tip: You can use a leather belt to remove an oil filter. Super easy, no special tools needed.

Love the videos bro!

awesome videos, have 97 fzj80, but have an opportunity to get a 1985 22re xcab but needs tons of work, price is 4k. not running, no rust, missing lots of glass, hood, lights, interior is destroyed. but it was a dealer truck, never sold and less than 400 miles but it has been sitting since 1987, car fax only has 1 thing, shipped to dealer. never registered. I am thinking create a back to the future replica. what do you think?

I have an 86 SR5. Great content

Any videos upgrade none power gearbox to power gearbox??

I really like your how to video, just a quick question I was thinking lifting my 1994 pickup and I was wondering what wheel do you have on yours I’ve been looking for that kind of style

I’ve had to stab my oil filter through, sideways with a screwdriver then twist loose😂

Where’s the 4runner been?? Also love the vids dude 👍🏼👍🏼

Anyone can help me with adjusting the valves, like what do you mean slight drag. I screwed up the valve specs 2 times and I’m doing it for the 3rd soon. Third time’s the charm.

Did you replace all the belts? 3 of them....

Where did you get the blue vacuum lines from?

Are those silicone vacuum hoses? I think I need that.

Hey brother just got one of these automatic transmission. Do you change out the fluid?

Why did you adjust valves cold when most folks and Toyota say engine has to be warmed up? Thks

What engine oil do you use?

What battery tie down do you have? My frame in bent there and I want to be able to tie mine down. Thanks

Heard you recently rebuilt the engine, may I ask where you got new head bolts or did you reuse them?

Whered you get those spark plug cables?
