Rebuilt my 3rz!!! SHES A RUNNER

okay and what p/s fluid would you use? I’m reading use atf is that right?

 

ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) with a Dexron III specification.

 

It's hard to find on their website, but is the top result through search engines.

 

I did find it! Thank you!

 

this should work

 

When I broke in my 2rz.....I used the royal purple for 1st 500mi...because the head was new

the high zinc is for 'flat tappet' breakin supposedly


Then I switched to the Valvoline VR1 racing conventual ...... next 3500mi
I'd call O'reily's a day a head of time....and they'd have it at the store next day
......thats how I got the purple.....next day they'd have it there.

these were engineered with conventual in mind

at 4K I switch to syn blend........any brand....doesnt matter

at 25K I'll switch to pensoil platinum or the new Valvoline extended performance synthetic




I'm a big fan of synthetic......runs cooler and so many others...
.......but, not tooo early


When the engine hits 50K.......I'll run couple qts of that new valvoline 'Restore' thru it for 1K for shits and giggles......

 

As for atf.....
max life is the way to go.....as long as you dont have any leaks

for mine....front seal drips tiny bit in summer......so I have to use high milage walmart one........supertech me thinks


max life is what I prefer for the PS

 

Almost ready to drop in.

 

So I pulled the wire out of the knock sensor when I was pulling the engine. Do you know how to get the wire back in the sensor? @t0p_d0g

 

I don’t know the answer to that but if it can be put back @caribe makaira will know.

 

awesome thanks. @caribe makaira have any info on putting the wire back into the knock sensor?

 

On the sensor side or connector side??
Sensor side, its dead & replace....

 

connector side. Sensor side has no wires anyways… it screws into the block and the connector plugs into it.

 

generally if nothing is broken...
Just pull the insert out of the face of the connector...
Slide the wire with the attached pin back onto the connector housing fully...
& then re-install the insert to lock it in place...
If it doesnt stay locked in with a slight tug, somethings messed up...

 

I can’t figure out how to get the pin out to reconnect the wire.

 

I got the little gray silicone piece out but I can’t get the pin out.

 

so the wire came out of the connector.
Theyre really tiny pins & im guessing your not equipped to repair...
Pull the insert out of the face of the connector & then with a pick push what left of the pin out the back of the connector shell.
Probably easier to just run down to toyota & buy a new connector assy, they will come with wires already inserted, just splice in the new connector.

 

sometimes theres little barbs you need to release or bend inward...

 

I’ll check it out later thanks.

 

May even need to push it out the face side, from the backside...
Just need to figure it out without further damaging it,,,,
