Today's teardown is just a little different. For one, this engine belongs to one of my employees. He bought it as a good basis to build a motor for his personal IS300. For two, this engine is absolutely in unknown condition. Because of this, and no warranties or guarantees, this engine was CHEAP. Just $250. Thats always a gamble, but the 2JZ in stock form is a relentlessly reliable engine, so the odds were stacked in our favor. I tear this engine all the way down, and get to see if this was a score or not.
Normally, the engines I teardown on the channel are for parts with known issues or known bad.
If you're new to the channel, my name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart. If you're looking to buy parts you can visit www.Importapart.com and fill out the part request page if you don't see what you need, or you can shoot us an email at [email protected].
Part of our model is parting out core or blown engines. A core engine by definition is a bad engine, or someones old engine that they have replaced. We cycle through hundreds of these every year and I teardown one on camera every week! There are over 80 teardowns on this channel, everything from Viper engines to a subaru boxer, Cummins to Duramax, and lots more.

As always, I appreciate all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.

Catch you on the next one!
