  • This video has been in the making for several months. Our 1986 Toyota MR2 spun a bearing and this is the documentation of tearing down the replacement engine and rebuilding it with new parts. No talking in this one!
    Enjoy!
    Music is by...ME! I did a quick improvised jam with my Roland TR-707 drum machine, Volca Bass, and Boss SP-202 sampler. Sorry if there's some mess ups, I just sent it!

    This makes me want to rebuild the 4age in the my ae86 (mostly to kill time before figuring out how to fix body rust)

      with you there mate, my ae92 has some cunningly placed "air vents"in the boot, but hidden behind the rear bumper

    This is awesome! Thanks for sharing! I will be removing the engine from my wife's MR2 and installing a rebuilt unit in a few months.

    You deserve an A for effort, but definitely get a copy of the Factory Workshop Manual (what is called “The Big Green Book” or BGB) and you’ll have an easier time of it. The buckets around the valve springs allow for the different size shims, which is how you set the correct valve to cam gaps. That’s where the real fun starts!

    • @Milehighkei
      @Milehighkei  Před 2 lety +2

      I have a manual but it didn’t go over the shims, I just reassembled the head how it was taken apart without changing anything.

    Great example of Toyota's contribution to society philosophy: "lift hooks on the head"

    These "First-Gen" MR2'2 where "Little Rocket Ships, but they lacked "Sufficient Weight" over the Front Suspension...
    I had one for 7.5years, untill I took a Corner too Fast on Wet Wet Asphalt, and Totalled the Front Subframe.😿

    Thanks for the vid. Do you know where i can get the parts to rebuild my 85? There's kits on ebay but am not sure about them.

    The comment might be late, but the head was designed by Yamaha. Actually looks kind of similar to the old motocross bikes Yamaha had. The used on the top of the valve something called pill which help prevent damage onnthe valve due to high rpm, and repent gear changes because of drifting. Actually the "pill" is just a pill shape object made from magnesium or a similar material

    Pretty sure those were 4afe pistons, motor would've been pretty low compression.

    What did you use to clean the block where the head goes so well?

    • @Milehighkei

      A sharpening stone with wd-40 to get it as flat as possible, then just brake cleaner

    Hi, I have a red Corolla GTS coupe, with a 4A-GE engine. I brought the car brand new in Germany 🇩🇪 while serving in the military. It runs and I would love to have my engine rebuilt as well. There’s about 230,000 miles, I would love for you to rebuild my engine, would you be interested?
