 Hey everyone, Shaper 1000 here. Today we're back on the head for the Tacoma 2.4 liter dual overhead cam. Today my focus is just going to be on trying to get what's left of this spark plug out of the number one hole. Now I'll explain to you why I want to focus on that first here in just a second. So stick around more to come. Okay guys so if you're following along we got the head off of here. The number one plug is broke off in there because it was cross-threaded at one time and it just got to where you know the spark plug needed to be replaced and I just couldn't do it. And so we limped the truck along as long as we could until we got the Chevy the SUV and then I thought well you know it's got to come out sooner or later you know it's got to come out and sooner was better than later because I mean it was just misfiring and it just needed a new plug and I thought well if it's gonna break which I knew it was probably going to it's gonna break so but at least we had something to drive so now we got to get this what's left of spark plug out we're gonna do some drilling I've got a repair kit here I you know I don't know if it's gonna work we'll see but right now the focus is to get what's left of that out and I'm gonna have to do some drilling it being cross-threaded I know the threads are really bad so I'm not even gonna try to do anything with them right at the moment as far as the rest of the engine goes I think what I'm gonna do is I can get pistons rings rod bearings main bearings my thrust plates seal kit timing chain timing gear timing tensioner tensioner guides oil pump I can get all the bottom end for this thing for low over 200 bucks now that's not that's not that's not counting camshafts okay so that still may may need to get the camshafts they're they're pretty pricey they're they're going to cost around four to five hundred dollars just for the two cams two camshafts but I want to see if I can salvage it said before I go putting new valves in it because that's going to take some time there's 16 of them I've got to lap every one of them so I thought you know let's just see if I can save this first if I can that would be awesome so let me get ready here let me get a drill bit in here see and I'm just I'm gonna do it in stages so I'll speed you up I don't want to just make one cut do it so I want to do it in stages and I'm just gonna take a little bit out of there at a time and work my way up so it looks like I'm gonna be starting with this one because this one goes down through I might run it down through anyway just in case just to clean it up a little bit and then I'm gonna I I don't think I can get this into my drill press I think it would fit but by the time I adapted everything and got the head level I can just hold my drill straight enough for that hopefully so sorry about the lighting I know it's not great but the Sun's not come around yet and I don't want to work in the Sun anyway but it's a beautiful day it's a nice day out and it's in the high 60s anyway so yeah let me get you zoomed in on that so you can see a little bit more and that's what we're gonna do we're gonna focus on that now then I'm gonna have to get the spark plug to about those can be a pain and you don't want to bend them because if you bend them they're not going to seal you're going to get oiled down in into the spark plugs which I had that problem before before the truck stopped running it would get oiled down into the plug holes so but let's focus on this right now and let me see if I can find another bit that's about this is about the one I want to end up with so I gotta find one between the first one we did and one that's in the drill now so let me see if I can find another bit okay I think I found one it's going fairly straight and I gotta get yeah that's what I'm looking for that's not perfectly straight but it is straight all right let me grab my other battery okay put another battery in I think it's only second time I've ever charged that since Dennis has sent me this drill so I really wish this would have fit in my drill press but it'll be alright well we're through now remember whenever you're doing this you want to make sure of course before you put this thing all back together that you get all this stuff out of there now let's try this battery out of my weed eater he's to belong to her dad so I don't know how long it's gonna last because I'm sure it's not charged we're almost through hang on I gotta check my phone might be monkey her mom's having surgery in her eyes today yeah surgeries over so that wasn't too bad I mean let's see what time is it it's 11 14 they had about an hour of drive to get there so they left at 8 o'clock I think it was so yeah that's pretty good let's go ahead and try to finish this whole out only got just a little bit there's that okay it's getting there it is a little closer on the end towards me no actually it's about as straight as you can get it really so that's pretty good I'm gonna find another step up from that I do have an electric drill but the button stuck on it so it comes on when you plug it in it's an old one it's like from the 50s 40s or 50s still works good but so you know if I put a an easy out down in there you know maybe I can screw it back out this way and clean them threads up I don't know we'll just have to see but I ain't gonna have to find another bit because the next size up I got is that huge one here that one's that one's too big I don't want to go that big no that's way too big that'd be taking out aluminum okay so let me find I've got a box of drill bits here this one just happened to be handy and was laying there so let me back out a little bit now that you know what's going on so let me find a drill bit get back with monkey and we'll continue on with this thing okay I'm gonna go ahead and try to break this little tab off I do have the right size drill bits for the next size but the drill chuck is too small be careful there get that out what's left of the electrode from the spark plug all right put this away but I do have the right size bit the next size which would be just about what I need there's still I think there's still too much wall there to get an easy out to do anything so I need to get at least one more size up so let me see what I can do here okay so they're on their way back already that's pretty cool that was fast um she had to have like that Lasik stuff done I don't know they said something about putting up lenses in or something but she said she didn't even feel it so I did find the next size up drill bit I'm just switching these batteries over onto the charger I was going to charge them last night and forgot totally my fault I do have a default over there it came from her dad's I have one too came from work but it's busted it still worked we had it zip tied together it got ran over but so I've got one battery pack that I think is charging so okay so that's that's good that's good all right then I think this will be yeah this is going to be the last one the last step we do probably it depends on if I got to use this I don't know how many guys seen the boat motor I had to do the head on the boat motor and I had to put one of these in I don't know why I've got two missing but you drill you drill this out actually this is supposed to drill it and tap it but I I think I drilled it out on the head first because I was having trouble with this but anyway this will tap it out so that you can screw this down in and you put Loctite on it and then you screw your spark plug down into that so I better make sure that fits first so all right it's her Bruno working okay so while I come up with another drill idea I'm gonna pull one of these plugs out and we're gonna make sure I'm pretty sure that's the size I'm gonna need there because it got a couple different length and so there's a short one I know I'm gonna need the long one let me pull one of these plugs out real quick and we'll see if this fits on it yeah I don't know how he cross threaded that I mean these things you pretty much drop these plugs in here they almost start themselves like he's like well he did it after dark and I don't care I mean it's straight down in you know it's it's kind of hard to and something got broke and fell down in there I guess he was all nervous about it and and she said it made a noise for a few seconds after she started it but then it stopped and this was a long time ago so these are spark plug tubes I was telling you I'm gonna have to take at least that front one out all right now let's see if that fits and it does so that's that's cool yeah that'll fit perfect all right set the size I need once it's tightened down yeah I think that's gonna work all right for me but we still got to get the rest of that drilled out of there then I'm gonna have to take this out because I have to run that this down through this way and that's that's a ways down in there and I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do that or not say because I don't know we got to get this out of here I think I'll put a I can't bend this up here if you slightly bend it down here you're all right like in the center but if you bend it up here it's not going to seal there's rubber seals that go down over top of these and that's what seals them then you also have some sealer you just put on the tube and you drive this down in with a tube before but right now we got to get this drilled out see if I run it down in this way it's gonna be backwards so we can't do that stick around okay so the closest thing I could get is a 17 millimeter socket and I just put a just one row black tape around there and it seems like it's gonna fit alright and now I want to stay down right below that top and of course I don't want to score any of this up you know those are very very important so okay well it's not gonna work until that slip what that socket does is just keep this from crunching around so bad let me get a hammer I'm going to tap on that we'll see what happens okay let's give it a few taps okay it's moving at least in that one direction let me tighten it up a little bit more but was it started moving stop all right now that's just what I'm gonna keep doing long as I don't mess that top up we're all right I'm gonna keep working with this I'll bring you back nice so that didn't go well I broke these vice grips you got to tighten them down and the bolt just wants to pop out of there of course these were too small so I got this bad boy on there and it started chewing it up so I think what's gonna happen is I'm just gonna have to ruin that tube to get it out and by another tube I just just know where around that sometimes you can heat them and heat and quench them they just heat them up getting good and hot pour some water on them sometimes that'll loosen them up but I don't have any propane for my torch so I guess what I'm gonna do now is just keep waiting on these on that battery hopefully it'll charge and get at least one more drill through there and then I'll I'll try to I'll try to put an easy out and see if I can bring it out this way if I can that would be nice I don't know we'll just have to see but I have to get that out of there I mean there's there's no other way around it you know and this is going to be perfectly straight because I can't get too close to these valve seats so we'll just have to see okay guys it's what I got going on I just had to keep a cap kept tapping the back and forth at an angle side to side with my hammer and I got this on here and it's starting to turn so hopefully it'll come out I can keep my wrench tight so it's just an update I'm gonna keep I'll keep working on it I'll let you know when it comes out just want to show you update okay guys so I found a DeWalt battery pack that did take a charge and I don't know how long it's gonna last but let's see this is a three-speed it's going to back down to low gear alright that's gonna take a minute about halfway through though alright guys I should have just kept you rolling and sped you up because it didn't take that long alright now I got that wall paper thin I'm gonna see if I can put an easy out in here and back it out which will bring it out this way see what I can do now one thing I don't want to do excuse me break his tap or this easy out off in there I know you can't see anything that way but I can't turn you around so okay something's going on I don't know if it's just biting in or what's happening with it but I don't think that's gonna work I can't tell if it moved so well let me get one more bit down in there and we'll go from there hi guys I'm almost there yeah alright yeah forgetting if you have this semi-style head and you're getting oil down in here every time you change your spark plugs the oil comes out could be leaking here most likely up here this is where ours was leaking because they were cracked up here on top hang on let them big semi-dunk truck same one keeps going past here he's not supposed to be on this red they're not supposed to run them semis we're talking 18 wheeler but yeah around here there's a seal when you put your valve cover on goes in here seals that it also seals down here down here is not that big of a deal you put some sealer on there and that'll seal it up I think ours was leaking up the top though alright so it's kind of a little buggered up this doesn't matter this doesn't do anything out here nothing nothing touches it just this and this so it would be good to go there I can clean that off use some sandpaper and stuff so now I'm gonna finish I'm gonna finish drilling this hole I gotta put something under here I don't know what I don't know anyway we've got a finish drilling this hole out it didn't sound good there we go get the battery on the charger let me grab it real quick man that's worse than it was so I'm too I'm gonna let it charge up for some more and I'm just gonna have to keep drilling it out I guess until I can get to this size here like I said I can drill from this side but in order to tap that out I'll have to go on this side and you can see I don't know how well that's gonna work because I won't be able to get anything on here a socket because once that's down in there socket there's probably not gonna fit on that may have to make my own tool weld something on up here I don't know we'll play that we'll play it by ear you guys check this out we get you check it out I think it's coming out I might be able to retap that hole instead of putting that repair kit in it's coming out it's coming out all right and I sound like a little kid but this is this is exciting now I've made taps before with spark plugs I've cut notches like four of them down the side of here and that creates like a tap got it son of a bean I have got it there it is Wow yeah it's pretty well buttered up let's run this down I don't think it's gonna make new threads the tap may not work because these got those washers they don't have to be super tight let's run it down through from the other side from the top side let's see if it'll tighten up I doubt it but let's let's just try it I mean it's worth a try right not worried about this plug because this truck is going to be getting new plugs anyway and now we've got a Logan's tree trimming truck here what they do is they like to bypass the traffic you can do that by coming on to this route see I'm trying to intentionally strip it out I mean that thing's not going to come out of there just I think I'm stopping there I'm not putting that kid in it I mean what's worse can happen it blow plug out and I got to do it all again but that is the worst that could happen I mean I was just trying to strip that out my couldn't hey let's turn it over look at the threads again and I think this thing will be ready for some cleaning up not today but yeah there's enough I mean it's not great but you saw how I was really raunching on that thing yeah I'm gonna leave it like it is because as tight as I had that there's no way that's gonna come out I'm gonna see if I got a tap just to run down through there anyway and we'll see if we can clean at least clean up what is there so let's see alright guys so that's just about gonna do it for today I got accomplished what I wanted to accomplish I got that whole drilled out and the old plug out so a lot of cleaning left doing this head like I said I kind of I kind of really need to get this going now because we're in the Chevy's making a weird noise and I don't like it's been kind of making a noise for a while sound like an axle when they're going around the turn but now it's like I don't know one tum tum tum tum tum tum on a straight road so I need to get this going as soon as possible but I think I'm gonna trust that because I had that in there pretty tight there's some stuff these to make I don't know if they still do haven't used it in a while it was called form a thread and I used to use it on stripped out on stripped out spark plugs and it worked pretty good but if anything you know definitely put some Loctite in it the Loctite that you can take back out pretty easy I might just go whole hog and just put the regular Loctite in it and I think once I tighten it down because I was really raunch I was actually trying to strip it because I thought if I want if it's gonna strip I wanted to do it now and I couldn't get it to strip so I think once I put some Loctite on it because that's all gonna be nice and clean put some Loctite on it tighten it down real good like I just did and I think it'll be fine I think the head's gonna be alright get it cleaned up need to find me a brass wheel man down here in Florida in my area in Citrus County I forget we went to five or six different parts stores well we went to we went to Napa O'Reilly's AutoZone Advance and then we went to a couple hardware stores I could not find a brass wire wheel to go on my drill I do have this this would be alright for block because the block is you know steel but I really don't want to use this I run it across the head for a little bit but I didn't like I didn't like the way it was looking so I'm gonna have to find me a brass brass wire wheel so I can get that head cleaned up and then hopefully for long I can get I'm just gonna go head for that kind of money I'm just gonna go and put new rod bearings in it and main bearings rings won't go and put new rings in it probably pistons oil pump I mean the truck deserves it man half a million miles I mean there's no sense in you know doing half the engine on you know if it had a hundred thousand miles yeah no biggie even 200,000 on these little Toyotas I wouldn't worry about it but half a million yeah that's what put new bearings in it alright guys well that's all I got for you today thanks for watching thanks for sticking with me I appreciate it another mess to clean up we'll see you guys in the next one so I don't forget check out monkey 1000 channel it's just her truck and well going she's had a what going on 15 years now she's second owner and like I said had 70 some thousand on it I think had like 150 thousand on it when we got together she was thinking about trading it in then and get you some more no this thing's about worn out and she said it just you know maybe I should just try out so look you like the truck ain't gonna give you nothing in on trade if you want to buy something that's fine but this is no sense in getting rid of it I don't know it's pretty tired I said might be tired but I can get you half a million we if we stick together I get you half a million miles out of that truck yeah right so then I stepped in it at 200,000 I'm going ah man 300,000 to go and 400,000 and 450,000 I was like yeah it's gonna make it now so I got her the half a million that's not gonna be run as hard as kind of retired now it's not gonna be run as hard as it it's used to but so it should last another hundred thousand anyway but we'll see that is yet to come thanks for watching guys she barely meant to be alleged I'm gone for now we'll see you guys in the next one bye bye take care
