Im 58, in my life as a mechanic i have only remembered 2 engines that were in this condition when i took them apart. 200k mile engines. I am talking about still clearly seeing the hone in the cylinders and beautiful crank journals and bearings. L28 6 cylinder out of an Datsun 280zx. And an n/a 2J out of an early lexus sc300. New bearings, piston rings, valve seals, and valve jobs on both engines. They both still run great. The 2J is in my 74 Datsun 260z now. Added a turbo to it of course. The L28 I sold to a friend to pay for my 2J swap. 👍🏾
I bought a 2001 IS300 with 278k miles two months ago with slow acceleration issue for $1000 dlls, the first thing I did was to check the engine's compression and wow... 175 psi on all 6 cylinders for a car with that milleage and for being 23 yrs old for me thats amazing.
@@dallasflyboy Man it took all I could do, to keep this car from when I had been married. To having kids, to getting divorced, to filing for bankruptcy, to different living arrangements. My oldest kid just started college. I still kept this car. 😁 And after all of that, in a year I will be semi retired, living on a small property I bought. The z car is coming with me. Nobody is taking my toy away from me except when I want to get rid of it. 👍🏾
We had a buick 3800 that I changed the upper and lower intake gaskets on at around 196000 miles and it looked brand new there wasnt any staining at all. Ive got a picture of it somewhere on my phone😎
Still kicking myself to this day, that I was offered a free 2JZ-GE VVTI and I turned it down. It would have made an awesome 3.0 bottom end for my 1JZ VVTI, but I was too lazy to go get it - from Geelong to Warragul, I thought it wasn't worth the effort. My 1JZ makes 550rwhp, and has great response, so it's not all bad, but that extra 500cc would have made it even better. So very much looking forward to seeing how this turns out Scotty. I suspect you won't regret it at all. My dad would have followed this build with interest. He died in November last year from Leukemia. He loved these kind of builds done on the cheap making Frankenstein engines.
So many guys act like they're tough because they don't use gloves. Having fucked up skin and cancer isn't tough when you can easily prevent it, it's stupidity.
0:500:55 collapsing an oil filter is a sign that the filter bypass valve is blocked. Some filters have a built in valve ( example Ford 302 / Chrysler 318 ) while some filters rely on the an engine mounted valve ( Chevy 350 ) . Reading the filter spec sheet is a must when mix / matching or installing remote filters.
Using a short or no extension makes it easier to undo the bolts ,less chance of slipping ,the ol trolvo is gunna be fun,maaaad,love the channel and keep it up mate cheers 👍🏻😀
@@STREETMACHINETV Need to get a longer breaker bar as a lot of torque is lost in an extension, don't see the need when you were undoing the conrod bearing. Also having the extension brings it closer to your teeth
@@STREETMACHINETV I find that the 700mm breaker bar fixes everything. Alternatively go with a 3/4" drive bar it will be longer and thicker, just like she said.
Looks like a sweet engine there - wondering if those flaky carbon deposits were from running with a bung PCV causing excess oil to burn in the cylinders? I had to replace the PCV on my 2JZ Soarer twice in the 9 years I owned it - both times it fixed blue smoke from the tailpipe.
@@bobroberts2371 That's way beyond normal carbon buildup for a port injected engine - a direct injected German engine for sure, those things are horrific - something wasn't right with this for a while before it was decommissioned.
@@wobblysauce Seems to be a problem on a few 90's Toyota engines - also had another Soarer, this one 1UZ that had oil leaking all over the place - replaced the PCV and tighten everything up a bit and got away without replacing gaskets and seals for a few more years.
That on top of the pistons is carbon, it’s the carbon layer built up in the engine, it tends to do that if it’s gets damp through humidity in the atmosphere and then allowed to dry right out, like in a nice dry workshop for a year or so.
Hi Scotty thanks for welcoming us to the 2023 series! Im already impressed with the "Thats what he/she said" bits - only cos you need to watch / sub to Sarah-N-Tuned....she is super cool, and an aeronautics mechanic, and has a top channel. You'll love her "Thats what she/he said" game! Looking forward to 2023 debacles and tribulations!
Rushing to watch this episode before power is turned off for Maint :-) Gotta have my Carnage "Fix" for a day without power, Reckon im going to polish my shifter collection today......
You can buy trays that go on your engine stand so that when u spin it over it catches the mess.. other wise I m sure you know enough ppl that could fold you up and alloy one that u can put on and off
That 2JZ looks so clean, and being able to still see the hone in the bores, got me thinking that it may have had a freshen up not that many KMs ago. Awesome use of the ugga dugga on the crank bolt, but I'm wondering why you didn't use it on the front cam bolts? Would've been less effort. Looked like you were about to bust a foofa valve there for a minute trying to under those bolts. Looking forward to the finished build, and seeing what she'll do. Keep the great work up Scotty.
Hi Scotty i was advice many years ago that sticky one oil brand was a necessity as different oils have different detergent levels which can loosen carbin that seems to be the caes with your 2JZ
Probably a stupid question, but from an amateuer's perspective, have noticed you guys avoid using power tools to loosen head bolts and sometimes inlet manifold bolts. If this is right, is there a reason for this? Something to do with shock going through these components?
@@STREETMACHINETV when I did the 2j bottom end, I had to change dump pipe, screamer, both hot and cold side (plasma clamps), turbo drain (braided), fuel return line, both rocker breathers and redo some wiring

Cheers Scotty and good luck. :)
Don't you have a longer bar? (no pun intended) Thought I saw a really long breaker bar in the workshop before. Was wondering why you weren't using it. Torque multiplication is your friend.
@@paule4204 sometimes that is true, sometimes the only thing that matters is size. Breaker bars are one of those things where bigger is generally better. Or in my case I have one that grows with need. When my mum passed away I got one of my dads old ones. It has a slide handle. So it can be both short or long depending on what you need. I am surprised this design is not more popular.
Just a random old school thing.... I'm not sure what the limit of the stock rods are (or what the future holds), but once upon a time they used to linish and shot pene cast rods to up their strength... that'd fit in the budget build possibly(?)
Welcome back Scotty for 2023, Good to see the Shifter's made a comeback & the KE26's. But 1 quick Question you said you need a bigger Shaft??? (that's what she said) how many times have you heard that from the wife???? Why no 70's Porn music to the wind in the hair.
Yeah how shit was that Tuesday Scotty reckon I dropped a six pack in the hour I got home !!! Don't worry about overnight parts from Japan its from Toowoomba Goleby's is where it's at. All the goodies!!!!🤣👍🍻
Could be from excessive oil burning - possibly due to PCV being stuck closed or other problems with the emissions control equipment - common problems on 2JZs & would be my guess given the flaky nature of the carbon build up, rather than the stuck on gum you normally get from rich running - another problem could be a bad dizzy or dizzy rotor causing misfires across all cylinders - though again, that'd normally produce sticky deposits - and more likely to get fixed as it's obvious something is wrong.
What a massive difference between all the crap you have to do to strip this motor down combined to the old 186 for the seventies 😂 like wow, the time difference is amazing
I would imagine 800 HP should be possible and somewhat reliable as long as it's tuned properly (which your cars are always well tuned), but you and I both know that it'd live a hell of alot longer at that power level if you put it on a healthy diet of E85. I don't know how plentiful it is down under, but if you can't get E, I would run a really high octane race fuel. Either way, you know how to build an engine and how to run it.
Using 91 fuel in a high compression motor will leave mental deposits. Also when map sensor is playing up it will run a weird tune. Will run but not well.
if you really want to do it on the cheap you can reuse the old rings and fit them to the turbo pistons then you wont have to hone the cylinders with new rings i did it made 326kw on 18psi

Yes we're back with big shifters, ka26s and hair blowing the wind. Great stuff!
Loving the shifter usage. Lots of content creators struggle with the keyboard warriors but you are absolutely nailing it. Keep it up champion!
Carnage is getting more and more interesting.
Week to week.
Yaaay, good stuff Scotty
Great way to kick it off.. man that Trolvo is gonna be fast.. that's what she said....
I love all the old guy pop culture references and how you constantly troll the haters.
Classic Carnage wit and wisdom great to see. That's what she said...
Nice Work Scotty.
"That's what she said"
Toyota Oh what a feeling !!! 2JZ no shit !!! 😜👍🇦🇺
And here we go, this is going to be good, and so happy to see the shifters...you need a run down on which is better etc.
3 litre, should go hard Scotty
That's what she said
Nitrile gloves, Scotty. Industrial dermatitis ain't fun.
Tell me about me!
And there is a range of quality gloves out there.
The nitrile gloves would compliment the KT26 safety boots.
Great to have you back Scotty.
So many guys act like they're tough because they don't use gloves.

I stand by the orange würth ones. That's what we use at my work. More on the expensive side though being würth
Scott, hope the 2JZ head finds welcoming home... And that the bores are in spec.
Already gone
nice Scotty, something that i know nothing about but am going to enjoy seeing this build
Workshop is looking organized!
Man I would have liked to see it stay a 2j.

Do stock pistons not have an issue getting too hot and swelling when you don’t run oil squirters and go for big power?
Doesn't seem to be an issue
@@STREETMACHINETV Good to know. I have a ge vvti motor with gte rotating assembly. Aiming for 650whp or so on e85.
Lot of high horse jz get the oil squirters capped. More consistent oil pressure and most aftermarket pistons don't make use of oil squirters anyway
Good stuff as always Scotty and love the appearance of the massive shifter hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow, the engine every Honda kid dreams of 😂
Is there any discount codes available for dominator motorsports?
How cruddy was the sump after seeing all that flacking in the pistons?
Not too bad
what route did you go on turbo oiling
T-piece off oil sensor and line around the block much like the Barra engine

That's what Scott said.. (you'll see that on a future episode of carnage)
Nothing wrong with the shifters , using metric ones too.😆
Should put in bigger camshafts in both the Volvo and the mx5 you will notice a big difference
The Volvo did get bigger camshafts
At least when you rolled the motor over you got Toyota coolant not rusty tap water everywhere

They are only 3/8 drive, impact is 1/2in
I would imagine 800 HP should be possible and somewhat reliable as long as it's tuned properly (which your cars are always well tuned), but you and I both know that it'd live a hell of alot longer at that power level if you put it on a healthy diet of E85. I don't know how plentiful it is down under, but if you can't get E, I would run a really high octane race fuel. Either way, you know how to build an engine and how to run it.
E85 varies in availability in Australia, but you can usually find it in most states without too much trouble.
Plenty of pump e85 in melbourne
And most engines are good until you bring in to much power down low, just asking for them to bend.
@@wobblysauce most tuners will take the torque out from down low to avoid bending rods unless you have forged rods
We have two service stations with E85 within 5minutes of the workshop
How do you get your fingernails clean at the end of day?
Using 91 fuel in a high compression motor will leave mental deposits. Also when map sensor is playing up it will run a weird tune. Will run but not well.
Wait, what.... ???
