How Does a Toyota Engine with 300,000 Miles Look Like On The Inside?

Do you ever wonder how does a Toyota engine with 300,000 miles look like on the inside? Is it all worn and done for? or is it ready for another 300,000 miles?

In this video we have a unique opportunity to have a first hand look inside of a 300,000 miles 2AZ-FE 2.4L engine. This 1 owner 2009 Toyota Camry with a Manual Transmission burns oil at a high rate. Not caused by the 300,000 miles but caused by an issue from birth due to bad pistons and rings.

We'll take this engine out of this car in this video inspect it, fix the issue that it has and reassemble it and towards the end of the video you'll hear it running again.

I was a Porsche tech for over 10 years and finally reached my limit on how so many customers were treated and often ripped off. I started my own shop in Eastern LI where all I did was European cars. Like you, my shop was spotless and within 6 months I was on fire with work (good timing). Other repair shops were killing me with jobs they didn't know how to do. Jobs like timing belts, fuel injection, ABS systems, etc. I loved rebuilding engines and the satisfaction of hitting that key and hearing it "breath fire". I could go on, but I needed to say what a great, honest, and professional technician you present yourself to be. Rare in this field today. Good luck and good fortune to you and your endeavors.

I work for Toyota at TMMI, I work in the assembly shop building Toyota vehicles and I’m proud to see videos like this. I take pride in knowing we build a solid product that is consistently reliable over all platforms.

Wish there were more mechanics like you out there. Full of pride, passion, integrity, and trust. Well done!

[michijimc]

This Man is an honest mechanic who always has his customers in mind when working on their vehicles.
If I lived closer to him he would be my mechanic.

[paulburgos]

"YOU ALSO HAVE TO WATCH YOUR CUSTOMER'S MONEY" that right there you know this guy is honest and he knows what he is doing. Salute to u bro 👍👍

[pascalh.]

You are doing a remarkable and honest job.
For $5, 000 and to walk away with a virtually new engine is a very attractive price.
I live in France, and this type of garage hardly exists any more. If you can find one, it costs at least twice as much, so people throw away their cars... and we call ourselves ecologists?!
Well done, keep up the good work!

[harshitlohaan]

I like the fact that he really keeps his garage clean.

[melvinmccoy]

I've got one with 356000, same engine. Manual transmission. Can't even hear it running when warmed up. You are a great mechanic.

[BigBrownMonke]

22:01 “You also have to watch your customers’ money.” By this simple sentence, I could tell the car care nut is a great mechanic! Awesomeness!👌👌

[jaywilliams]

I'm not sure what impresses me the most. Your cleanliness, organization, knowledge, integrity, honesty? All way above normal and admired in today's world. Also, hats off to your filming and production! Very well done. If only I lived closer to you because you'd have all my business! Thanks You for being an honest mechanic as it seems to be a rare quality these days!

[bradcdavis]

Wow! How often do you get to see a tear-down and rebuild of a 300k mile Toyota engine. Add to that the excellent and highly informative dialog and that is what makes this one of the great YouTube channels!

[fernandoflores]

Bro I’m just as passionate in PC building and troubleshooting but this guy humbled the hell out of me. Seeing someone this passionate over this many moving parts and variables to worry about earns my respect ten fold. W mechanic

My wife and I bought a 2006 Toyota Sienna, brand new. 97 miles. We still own it, moved across the country, took it all over both coasts. 296, 000 miles and still running strong! Of course, we maintain it.

You seem like a great mechanic; honest, knowledgeable, and fair. Well done man!

This reminds me of a guy I knew who was an amazing mechanic, he had the confidence to work on any car. If he didn't know something he had this huge book he would open up it was like a mechanics bible (not Haynes manual), he often referred to it for torque measures etc.
The only thing that stopped him from being the best mechanic in town IMO was he couldn't speak a word of English so he only worked for a small group of people he knew and he was very modest with his pricing, he opened up my mk2 golf engine and cleaned it inside out, I bought a new block we cleaned that too and put it in. He did most of the hard work, it took us a whole day and only charged me 130$, he had two kids so I always gave him more and would call him whenever I needed anything knowing that I was helping him too.
Not long after that he passed away from cancer at mid age and it always plays on my mind because being the kind of modest untainted uncorrupted soul he was he really didn't deserve it. My only regret now was not reaching out to his wife to help more so I hope whoever reads this at least keep that in mind if you go through something similar.

An honest, knowledgeable mechanic who knows what to look for, does what's needed, and minimizes cost. He even keeps his shop clean! Wish thee were more like him. Kudos man.

[MotoBuilds]

I have a 4.0 Tacoma about to roll over 400, 000 miles that i bought new in 2007. Never had one problem ever. Love Toyota.

[chrisbeall]

The condition of your shop and the cleanliness is a MAJOR selling point to me. Interesting video, thanx for taking the time and effort to produce it and continued success in your endeavours!!

[razbakar]

If only ALL mechanics were as honest, mindful, transparent, customer oriented and humilified as you.... this (automotive) world would be a much much better place!!! Thanks for sharing this video - it was an eye-opener. Your explanations for your recommendations and actions really stood out and I am grateful for it!!

[Reggaejames]

And with that, we see why this channel deserves a million subscribers. You had the full attention of a guy who is only moderately interested in car repair for the entire length of the video. YouTube, give this gentleman more money please. :)

[mveenema]

I don't usually watch car repair videos but I enjoyed seeing just how much expertise goes into a major engine job. I will not take a car mechanic for granted again. Brilliant! Appreciate your blessing on your audience at the end! Very nice.
