And just cause your car is newer and lower miles does not mean you don’t need to check it. It’s a shame but some of these modern engines use as much oil as old high mileage engines..
@@joeygaskets7590 VW, brand new Jetta and the first thing they told you upon delivery is to buy oil because it is expected to burn a quarts in the first 3k miles. Like wtf
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.
@@12345....... its an aluminum head so its relatively light. Sometimes you need something with a little more weight to it and im sure thats why its not used all the time.
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.
Take care of your family. We'll still be here. I always look forward to your videos. You put out high quality content and it's always educational. You never fail to make me laugh. Thanks!
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.
Good luck with the new family member. The wife and I dropped off our youngest at college today. Seems like not long ago I was playing with my kids and now all four of them are out on their own. My advice is, if you want to take time off to be with your family, DO IT... the videos can wait. ( I hope you're putting away money for college because the cost is CRAZY!)

Don't know if it was ever put in a vehicle sold in the States, but I'd love to see a Honda K24 teardown.
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!
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.
My Saturday is complete, I have been watching your tear down videos for a few months now. Great job on the video editing, and I hope you have more success on your channel
Never thought I'd see one of these on this channel, nice! I don't care what engine you do next, I'll watch. But I'd like to nominate a RWD Ford 3.7 V6 that was used in the Mustang and F150 in the early 2010's. It just now occours to me that your buddy who is building this engine will have a convenient video showing how everything looks when it's assembled.
Thanks for the video, first time seeing a 2JZ teardown! As for the time machine, I'm with you. Every day, the lyrics to 'Time Stand Still' make more and more sense.
I just finished completely restoring a 2001 iS300 black with LSD. I looked at six of them and got lucky with a woman driven car that was really clean for being 21 years old. After purchase of 8k I put another 5k to make it perfect and another 3k for new paint and small amount of Body work. It’s fun to drive and I get a lot of complements in it
Now your employee has to put it all back together again... ("Boss! What do I do with this?") 😀 Good luck with your little addition. Two little people...
Now you are talking my language! These engines are $200 all day long at the PickNPull yards, as GS and IS300's are everywhere. Got mine last summer and rebuilt it for stock service in my originally 6-cylinder '59 Studebaker Lark. Did first start the other day and she fired right up and idled perfect. This is going to be a super fun daily driver with almost 3 times the stock power and dead reliable Toyota engineering.
Hey from New Zealand ,Im putting a rear/mid sump 2JZGE built bottom end with rods,pistons ,bearings etc and a VVTI 1JZGTE head and T6 Holden box in my 1989 Nissan C33 laural after a decade of killing RB motors ,cant beat them join em ,mates done the ex mani and waste gate mounts and exhaust ,Some china garret copy amd a link being NZ.Great channel and workshop that looks like my job
Congrats on your new addition , judging by your demeanor and humor your gonna do fine , take your time enjoy being a Dad ,there is no reason to worry we are all gonna be here
Thanks' It's always interesting watching you pull these engines apart I'm watching from Queensland Australia. Wishing your wife/partner well and the little one comes into this world safe and well. 👍🍾
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. I'm not saying they can't be found, they're just not easy to come by unless some viewer has one to donate. I've torn down many, so I'm not really interested unless it's an oddball.
With so much experience with a plethora of engines, would live to see a video about your favorite pics fir longevity, dependability, serviceability etc...
Wow - that looks like a really well made engine. Nice to see the good (& the bad). Would be great to see an engine build as well? Not always. Just occasionally. For the engines that are worthy of a rebuild. All good!!! Great video. & nice to see the old Milwaukee impact still going strong. Enjoy the family time - it’s a very special time. 👏👏🙏🙏
Befor I started watching this channel I never checked my oil lvl now I do it befor every start up wich already safed the engine in my 05 mustang gt. Thanks I do cars!
Really enjoy your channel and learned a lot. What I really enjoy most is my girls 14 and 15 yo want to watch and enjoy your break downs. I am so happy my girls took interest. Our girls live a great life. Our situation, Mom works nights. Me and the girls, often watch TV in our room waiting on mom to get home. Kids these days can often care less about anything motors, and for sure girls. But keep it up, my girls really enjoy and understand how Motors work from you channel, and how they fail. To the point they tell Mom to change her oil. Hay maybe my girls will be the next maker of a better engine, nobody ever thought about. Side note: Would really enjoy seeing a 455 EM / Pontic brake down. What would be even better one that was " BLOWN UP" by the driver.
Your family is AWAYS FIRST!! Take time for them. Enjoy them. We are a bunch of strangers on the internet. They are your LIFE, every second of every day. They are who you do everything for, not us. If you miss a few weeks spending quality time with them, do it. We will live. Do not apologize for loving your family. Enjoy the new addition to your family.
Had an is300. Just need to change the oil and go. Never gave me a problem. Changed the spark plugs 2x during the time I owned it. Had it from 60k miles to 220k
That's awesome your employees can afford to do car projects also! Helping them a little here and there with stuff like that is one of the best things you can do for morale! 🙂
These are such simple well designed engines. And note 150K miles and no signs that it’s been leaking much of anything. A BMW 6 can’t make it 50K before it’s oozing fluids.
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.
Speaking of JZ's becoming hard to find... I was fortunate to purchase a 2JZGTE VVT-i from an Aristo roughly 5 years ago for $2,800 without crate fee's... With the crate fee's it ended up being roughly $3,100. Not bad seeing as they now average around $6K+ easily. Hell... It even came with an auto transmission. My hands down favorite 6 cylinder engine of all time. It's simple... Virtually bulletproof all while making some of the best engine sounds one can make. Not going to lie - I've been waiting for one of these engines to show up on your channel.
Those VVTi solenoids, if clean, are worth money. They start to seize when older and lock the intake cam in an over-advanced position, and won't necessarily throw a code. It'll have your thing misfiring and running awfully intermittently, with no clue as to what it is. Best way to diagnose it? Stop when it's misfiring, jump out and tap a hammer on the solenoid body.
We just lucked out on a non vvti SC300 that runs great. We want to build it someday soon but keep working on our SC400 with 1uzfe....this Era of Toyota /lexus is fantastic
It's nice to be back watching your Saturday night videos again. With the Motorsports and racing season in full effect I usually don't have any time for you or a lot of other things trying to catch up on racing highlights on Saturday nights but fortunately formula 1 in Indy car are both off this weekend it's nice to see you again.

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.
Oil starvation is the death knell of any engine. So many rotating parts that need proper lubrication to run.
And just cause your car is newer and lower miles does not mean you don’t need to check it. It’s a shame but some of these modern engines use as much oil as old high mileage engines..
Except for the 2012-2015 Kia/Hyundai 2.0 and 2.4L. Whatever you do it will destroy itself
@@joeygaskets7590 VW, brand new Jetta and the first thing they told you upon delivery is to buy oil because it is expected to burn a quarts in the first 3k miles. Like wtf
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.
Love seeing the hammer my son made for you being used. He's always like "look dad there's my hammer".
That is a cool hammer. I'm surprised he doesn't use it in every video. For a while there I thought he lost it.
@@12345....... its an aluminum head so its relatively light. Sometimes you need something with a little more weight to it and im sure thats why its not used all the time.
I was like. Hey is that, the kids hammer?
Confirmed 👍

My thoughts exactly.

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.

sure but why go through all that trouble and reuse the burnt piece, just spent a few extra dollars and replace the burnt bit
Probably cooked the shit out of the damper too which is know to come apart at the rubber.

Somebody loved that engine, it had good servicing, was put together well and generally looked after and not beaten on.
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.
Its a on/off Solenoid, very simple stuff, the only issue is checking valve to piston clearance with aftermarket cams.
