100K Subs!? HOW? you guys are AWESOME!
Want to see a particular engine torn down? I may have already done one! I've made over 60 other teardowns from Cummins to an LS7, and from Rotary to Ram Ecodiesels. Check them out here    • Blown Up Engine Tear Downs! A collect...  
My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart located in the Saint Louis MO area. Part of our model is dismantling and selling parts from rare and niche market engines. If you're interested in buying parts from this engine or the other engines I've torn down, email us at [email protected].
In this video I completely tear down a 4.7L 2UZFE engine from a 2005-2006 Toyota Tundra. This is the variable valve timing variant found in 2005+ Tundra, Sequoia, 4Runner, Land Cruiser, Lexus LX470 and GX470. These are some of my FAVORITE engines Toyota ever made. Unfortunately whoever owned this one neglected to change the timing belt resulting in timing belt failure. While it was apparent that some maintenance was done on this engine, the timing belt wasn't. Also, whoever dismantled this engine and left it outside made it a lot less repairable. All in all, this engine was discarded for no real reason but the damage done left it better used as a parts engine.
I hope you've enjoyed this teardown! As always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
Catch you on the next one!

-Eric
