Beautiful engine and great build! I'm currently building a Honda F22a6 4 cylinder with forged internals and a turbo but I am really itching to build a nice inline 6 like this! I absolutely love this stuff! Nice work!

[DLANM]

Excellent Video! I'm motivated to do this. Thank you!

Ive assembled a number of JZ engines and still learned some stuff here 👏

[itzryyster]

[robhernandez]

A tip I would give is if you are reusing the vvti gear, buy a new vvti o ring from driftmotion and replace it but make sure the bolts go back in the original spots bc im pretty sure its balanced. They are known to leak on these engines

[alexjaybrady]

great video, making it look easy, one day i will do is300 wagon

[thatsuprachick]

Definetly trying this on my vvti will post a video

[tommurray]

[mr.a]

Great informative video. Good work guys.

[matthewsmith]

Awesome build! Do you possibly have a full parts list? Thanks!

[peoplesambassadordm]

I've always been taught to use appropriate gasket with silicone for the installs... the turbo gasket is a better choice instead of na gasket

[rudys]

Love your videos man I really learn a lot from them. I have a question. So I have a stock engine but I want to build it to do 350-400 what are some mods I can do?

[TravisAndrew]

fun fact. never push an aluminum head over head studs.

[JZLS]

I now know exactly what I want to do in life, build 2JZ’s maybe a few LS’s. I am not sure where to start though; I have no one to ask things, no experience, little resources, and lack knowledge. Anyone got any advice? Thanks.

JZ parts are expensive why not just go full gte bits/parts?... Looking forward to this build

[carmine-capalot]

why didn’t you measure the bearing clearance with a micrometer or plastigauge? just curious, this build looks great! 🤙🏼
