When i bought my car it was neglected, the engine bay had literal moss all over it and the oil was 45000 kilometers old. The gasoline engine clattered like an old diesel but still ran fine. I then changed all filters and filled it up on the cheapest fully synthetic oil i could find. It was 10W40 diesel engine oil, which means it has more detergents. After about 150 kilometers the engine became very quiet, as the lifters cleaned up and the diesel oil did its magic on the gunk. Just a couple weeks ago my neighbor was walking by while i was warming up my engine and complimented on how smoothly it was running. Moral of the story: just change your oil. The 5 liter jug of fully synthetic 10w40 cost me 25€ and 10€ for a MAHLE oil filter.

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.

There's a reason that those journals looked so damn good, aside from someone doing their oil changes regularly. The 2JZ, whichever model, is both made of absolutely primo metal, and secondly the lubrication is as overengineered through and through as the stress components. That pan looked so pristine because even the goddamn filtering is top-notch.

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.

Wow what a score with that engine! And like you said, he got a free teardown too 👍 All the best with the family ❤

Amazingly I was wondering today if this channel would ever do a 2J..... And BOOM! Stars align and wishes are granted! Great teardown!

Just a few years ago sold my 02 IS manual with this 2JZ not a ton of power but such a smooth power train. Consistent power down low but what a nice hum it made at 4-6k. I sold it local to the mechanic who did the maintenance. They always liked working on a clean car. I'll always miss that car. 90s Japanese bubble engineering at its finest.

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!

I was a Toyota Master Technician for many years. Many of Toyota’s engines were indeed bulletproof given the correct maintenance but they did build a few turds that no amount of proper care could overcome. Actually during the late 80s all the way through the 90s Honda took a lead over Toyota as far as solid vehicles. The best quality vehicle overall that Toyota ever made was the Corolla. Until recently they never had a generation of the Corolla that was plagued with problems. Sadly both Toyota and Honda have cut corners and slipped on quality to try to control the cost of their vehicles and neither offer a car that I would purchase. If gas prices didn’t matter to me I would buy a Tundra but that’s about it. Honda had nothing new that I would touch. The Toyota Company that I knew thirty years ago is dead and it’s not coming back.

They are way too expensive. If they're destroyed, they're probably part of an investigation, and if they're not, then they are extremely valuable as cores.

One of the best in-line 6’s ever made 2jz and the Barra in-line 6

The VVTi system in these engines is no longer an issue for performance builds. Now most tuners/ecu can actually utilize the variable cam phasing to increase hp/torque for more benefits. The issue with these engines is that they come with skinnier rods and different pistons than the non vvti turbo 2jz. The rods cant handle nearly as much power as the legendary beefy 2jz rods but most people upgrade them when doing a performance build anyway. Also the heads and porting are different on these vvti engines vs original turbo 2j. There is some debate on which heads are better for turbocharging but these heads have shown great results especially with aftermarket cams. Also if turbocharging these vvti engines the piston ring lands are a notorious weak spot. These engines stock can handle low boost builds, but anything more and piston upgrade is recommended, don't ask how I know.

Kids birth is the happiest day of your life, that's amazing :) All the best to you and your family!

I have never seen a good engine tear down...have always been broken. Thanks!

The 2 piece oil pan is what makes the 2JZ (and motors like the K20/24). The inner oil pan works as a block girdle, making the block MUCH stronger than any block w/ a 1 piece oil pan.
