$250 TOYOTA 2JZ TEARDOWN! Unknown Condition Engine: Solid Builder? How'd We Do?

Показать описание
Today's teardown is just a little different. For one, this engine belongs to one of my employees. He bought it as a good basis to build a motor for his personal IS300. For two, this engine is absolutely in unknown condition. Because of this, and no warranties or guarantees, this engine was CHEAP. Just $250. Thats always a gamble, but the 2JZ in stock form is a relentlessly reliable engine, so the odds were stacked in our favor. I tear this engine all the way down, and get to see if this was a score or not.
Normally, the engines I teardown on the channel are for parts with known issues or known bad.
Part of our model is parting out core or blown engines. A core engine by definition is a bad engine, or someones old engine that they have replaced. We cycle through hundreds of these every year and I teardown one on camera every week! There are over 80 teardowns on this channel, everything from Viper engines to a subaru boxer, Cummins to Duramax, and lots more.

As always, I appreciate all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.

Catch you on the next one!

got my beer, got my "I Do Cars" video, and my kids aren't bothering me right now. Is this Heaven? *automatic answer - this is Iowa.

This channel has taught me doing regular oil changes and proper oil level really matter if you want your engine to last. What a difference it makes.

Love seeing the hammer my son made for you being used. He's always like "look dad there's my hammer".

Hope every thing goes as planned with the addition.

And I've got to say, beyond the new little bundle of you, we are all emmotionally invested in your employees car. Please show the progress of his build.

Whoever changed the timing belt previously used a torch to heat up the crank bolt. They were notoriously hard to remove. That's why the lower cover was melted.

Saturday night, get comfy, and let the teardown begin!! 2JZ was cool to see, and also good to occasionally see a healthy engine to remind us what they should look like inside!! Hope everything goes smoothly for you and the rest of the family the next few weeks.!!

Love seeing the golden color inside the engine. It's a sign of good maintenance practices and good oil used. The VVT stuff on these are no longer an issue. Haltech has figured it out. And they have a place that makes custom cams for these engines.

Almost bought a 92 SC300 as a first car. I don’t regret not getting it only because the body and interior was beat. Drove it and it was fun. Awesome car when they were new.

Somebody loved that engine, it had good servicing, was put together well and generally looked after and not beaten on.

What a coincidence, last month I bought a '02 GS300 from a local Copart yard. All it had was front-right colision damage but no one wanted it beacuse it had a biohazard sticker on it. Luckily I was able to go check it out, turns out it just had a few specks of blood on the steering wheel. Came time to bid and everyone else didnt want it, so I ended up grabbing it for $500. Absolute steal considering it ran fine after replacing the battery and a plug wire connector. Now its off at the body shop getting the unibody pulled back into position. So glad I got one before they became rare or expensive.
Thanks for posting, keep at it!

Would love to see a showcase on this engine once your employee rebuilds it and sticks it in his vehicle with boost

"Hey, did you pick up that 2J for me?"
"Yeah. The block is over there and two safety totes full of the rest."
