What’s the title of the song and who’s the artist?

Dont think he ever showed the failure......
Surprised to see a inner timing cover, hopefully that doesnt turn into a cluster fuck, another source of a leak..

He did show failure in his other videos on his channel. An oil galley right behind the main seal was not drilled through from the factory. Which caused the catastrophic failure.

Human error on this one.

I do remember that video, didnt realize it was the same channel / kid....

I suspect this is exactly what happened to my engine. I’m going to check my vin but they were built in the same month. March 2026

I never realized how complicated these engines have become! I have total respect for these technicians! This was a very informative video! Thank you!

I certainly hope the truck owner gets a buy back. I’m guessing the reason for a short block exchange instead of a complete engine replacement isn’t about saving money but rather Toyota doesn’t have complete replacement engine availability soon enough to prevent a buy back. So they corporate put pressure on dealer to replace short block in a more timely manner.

Aside from campaign recalls like the Tundra, Toyota does not sell long blocks(complete assemblies). The only way to do a brand new complete motor is to order a new short block, and all other parts that are necessary to make a complete engine. Which going by 2023 and previous Tacomas, costs upwards of $30k(CAD) in parts. So for warranty purposes, Toyota will only cover the parts necessary for replacement.

I can understand that. Especially if the engine in question had many thousands of miles on it. But these two trucks (so far mine and his) are new. We didn’t pay for engines built in mechanics bays with potentially less parts than are required. I would say that would be a lesser product. Toyota should acknowledge that and buy the trucks back if thats what the owner wants to make them whole again.

So both my truck and the truck in the video have 03/2026 build dates.

Is this an issue exclusive to 2026? Only cases of any engine issues I have really seen have all been brand new trucks... I wonder if they changed manufacturing process for 2026 engines and this is causing the problem.

 

[fletch]

My new block is a 2025 block manufactured in November. Suspect the issue with the 26 block was an oversight in the block machining that was not caught by anyone in the quality control and quality assurance crew or the person who installed the rear main. Incorrect offset on the CnC after tool change? Bad coding? Who knows. But I’m willing to bet a beer it’s not just our two trucks. I’m willing to bet two beers Toyota knows exactly how many engines are affected. It’s a really stupid error.
