Back with another Extended cut video on the 100 series Sahara! In this episode, We're swapping out a reconditioned 2UZFE engine that was cleaned and almost every visible part painted. From bench testing the starter motor and pressing in bushes it’s a full workshop week in one video.
As usual not everything goes to planed and a simple mistake made with the torque converter made fitting the new engine a bit of a task followed by a couple of faulty coil packs and coolant leaks.
We also put our new CRC Smart Washer to the test and with so many parts needing to be cleaned it really has been the MVP!
Find out more about the smart washer here! tinyurl.com/crc-australia-tsf
This cruiser was bought with the intention to restore it back to its former glory and with the help from Supercheap Auto we were able to give it a new lease on life, A full (condensed) build video was recently released but it left so much awesome content on the table that I just couldn't let goto waste so enjoy the "Extended cut"
