Today I disassemble the 20R engine from the 1980 Toyota Long Bed parts truck. This engine sat out in the open without a carburator, air cleaner, water pump and oil filter. Once apart, I find the most likely reason this truck was parked for its last time and became a parts truck. Next time I’ll show how to remove the bed!

Good progress. Thanks for sharing the disassembly of the 20R.
Great video, enjoyed it thoroughly, love seeing the 20R teardown
After doing many 22R motors….Always helicoil the timing chain cover for that hidden head bolt to timing chain cover(they strip easy and lets you tighten it a bit more)….Use Toyota black sealant on timing chain cover, rear seal retainer to block, and head gasket at timing chain cover…the toyota sealant is easy to take apart over most RTVs….Its the only way to stop oil leaks…..That engine didnt look bad for what it went through being exposed to weather….The broken steel timing guide scares me…never seen that, seen many plastic guide troubles though…
Sure you know that 20R, per 85 and post 85 blocks are getting rare….You may want to talk with LC Engineering about buying what ya got….
Blows my mind what you guys in areas with rust go through….I bought my Toy shortbox SR-5 4×4 new 40 years ago and there isn't an inch of rust on the whole thing! Kalifornia sucks…except for rust!
I replaced the timing chain and guides on my 87 with roughly 180k on it with metal backed guides and heavy duty chain. A year later the guide broke and jammed between the lower sprocket and cover. Luckily it only took out 2 valves. I went back to the plastic guides. I have a hard time trusting the metal guides. The only mechanical failure in 250k
Gracias por el video, yo tengo una 1987 a la q le estoy cambiando motor y transmission pues originalmente es transmission automática pero ya conseguà otro pickup para repuesto con transmission manual, espero poder hacerlo correr pronto
To add another tidbit, the guy that drove that 80 was kind of lets say always drunk lol, he drove the truck slowly around town but would run into some railroad tracks that were used at his liquor store as some sort of parking stop. Hence both trucks the 86 and Brians 80 had those huge can opener slices on both trucks both sides of bed lol
The truck was used by a locksmith Company in Altus OK , then sold to the father of the guy i got it from, when his dad passed away the truck sat in the driveway for the next 17 or so years when i found it in 2020, I got this truck for free because i bought his dads Toyota 1986 2wd Xtra cab long bed , IM super stoked that I get to watch Brian do his thing on this baby! My trucks and cars have been. 1967 Carrona 4dr, two 1985 Tercels, two 1985 4×4 single cabs, one 1992 4×4 single cab, one 1994 4 runner, one 1986 2wd xtra cab long bed, and my last one is a 2003-Tundra step side. and of course, the 1980 that i gifted to 6th Gear Garage
Thank you….NJ 87 22R
Love this series.
