Have learned so much over the years from Jay. Man is a book of knowledge. Thanks for everything!

[jdubbsvt]

Saturday morning and a 40 min 2j build with Jay....does it get any better 😂

[chadbenjamin]

In 20 years time I'll still come back to these videos to watch them all over again. Thanks Jay and team!!

[michaelnoyes]

Jay, you are a Artisan, it's always a pleasure to watch you work

[jzaking]

The patience, the clear explanation, the knowledge.... Jay is a master and he makes even someone with zero engine build experience, feel like a professional.

[erickbernard]

Jays breakdown of the main bearings is perfect, it also details the reason i prefer high volume vs high pressure oil pumps

[suprarune]

i can listen to jay for houres, he talks so easy and explainable, him sharing his knowledge over the years have helped me so much to understand about engine components, igniton, fuel ect

[olu]

Invaluable knowledge. Thanks for making this!

[ShaunButterley]

I'm a gear head, but thank you so much, Jay, for breaking it down without being condescending.

Really appreciate it.

[chunming]

Love when wife's support husband!! J is doing right!

Although a complex process with lots to think about, it's crazy how simple and straightforward jz engines are for what they're capable of compared to modern engines.

[gasparsperformance]

I swear, everytime I see one of these videos it gets me in the mood of building a motor

[BigOgarage]

Wow...I would love to build my 2jz with Jay. Great video!

[bigjdm]

I love it, S/O to the husband and wife. Quality content.

[donmarcostech]

Beautiful information, about assembly engine ! Congrats 🎉

[Rob_Teh_Builder]

I know it's not a feasible practice at all, but how awesome would it be to have an option to sit in with your engine builder (especially Jay) and have them walk you through your engine build. It would certainly make people appreciate more the costs that they spend on parts and labor. Jay is an absolute treasure.

[USDMJZ]

great video goes really in depth on all key components of tiny differences in parts and understanding the function of the design helps the engine builder get the most out of it.

[RadDadisRad]

Racing is not cheap, especially when you’re the fastest.

[ChrisGR_TxS]

thats day one in school video, still great video for beginners

I love how at 16:03 the guy mentions repo boxes and Jrod from real st. Shuts him up. Completely changes the topic haha. Someone has a sponsor.
