On the first gen tundra group on FB. The biggest issue with those truck are lower ball joints failing. Would love to see you do something about them… 3rd party vs oem
This was a very good recommendation from a viewer! It is great when YouTube is used to help people. This job looked to be difficult. That was one huge water pump. The owner will be so happy. No Toyota job is too big for Peter!!! He is the Toyota Guru!!! 🙂
Peter, I hope you continue to derive confidence and strength from the 81,500 subscribers who are cheering on your work. I expect most of us are also relieved to know our newer Toyota engines have a timing chain not a belt like this older model.
Nice work. Sorry it was a pain but at least you learned a little trick and I’m sure your customer is happy. I rebuild little valve bodies all day, that’s what I do. Lots of o rings. I normally use grease or this spray gel lube we have from our supplier. I’ll have to try that silicone stuff. I’m thinking of buying a Tundra with high miles with this engine. I’m glad to see what I’m getting myself into.
I have Seen a few videos from this gentlemen and I really like how his helps everyone. The detail of descriptions are perfect for anyone to follow. Thank you very much.
Great job! I have always used the silicone on O-rings, I use to use soap too but it didn’t always work, on some cooling systems I even used straight antifreeze non-diluted to lubricate the o-rings but to me silicone grease works the best:) Thanks for the video and explaining everything in detail:) Excellent videos
I retired from working in a Toyota L4 & V6 powertrain shop and we used several different chemicals on the water bypass pipe process to help prevent o ring damage. We used a soap based product first but still had issues and switched to a solution named daphne cleaner which was an improvement but had an occasional o ring damage. We changed to a solmix solution which yielded the best results on the process. When I left a few years ago we were still using solmix
Pull on the 'new' ones to make sure it doesn't rip apart. It could be defective, with a weak spot, and snap after you can't see it inside there. Don't feel too bad about the parts delivery delay with Covid. Elon Musk, the world's richest man, can't get the FAA to issue a Temporary Flight Restriction to test his rocket on the Texas/Mexico border Gulf coast. And all they need to do is type some text on the internet!
Well done. I keep a few tubes here and there. Seem to find it only when I'm not looking for it. Side note. Just replaced the rear shocks on a 2013 Rav 4 AWD. Talk about piss poor engineering. Can't use socket on the top bolt and no room to swing a wrench. Gear wrench on the bolt side 2 clicks at a time. WTF

Just learned something that was very interesting as a toyota owner
It is truly rewarding watching your videos and finding somebody who is honest and knows what customer service is.

I would love if you started doing product reviews when you get crappy stuff like that O-ring, Peter.
Thanl you Peter. You are D man !

When you ask a question I always answer to myself, and when you cross your fingers I do the same.
learned a lot of this guy. thanks
O rings should be Viton material rubber not the best… yes cheap Chinese oring cost $$$
Your videos are so much fun to watch. Where do you work? (City/country)?

Glad you had a successful and trouble free installation!
Much respect brother
a big stress, but you solve the problem. Great for you and thanks for yours nice videos.
I love your channel my friend! I get to do this job on my truck in the near future.
Sweet GX 460 Premium wheels
I like to use dielectric grease on o-rings…be it coolant , injectors, etc…
Comebacks happen to the best of us. Of course it had to be on a major labor job. Customer should be happy
Thanks for showing us!
I use Toyota Original Rubber Grease too especially when rebuilding brake calipers: TOY 08887-83010 here in the EU.
God bless you my friend. Cool guy.
Not clear…did you use the o ring you showed or did you pull the OEM used one from original engine ?
