Hi all,
Quick question, about ow many miles before a 1uz-fe will require a full engine rebuild?
thanks

I don't think anyone could answer a question like that.

Depending on how a person takes care of the engine you could rebuild an engine after putting on very little mileage or after several hundred thousand miles.

A SC400 I had had more than 240,000kms on it and it still ran smooth, quiet, and burnt no oil at all.

Just to give you something to think about...
How often do you think 'they' rebuild those NASCAR engines? What sort of conditions those eninges go through.
No, compare that to the average consumer's car and daily driving...

Food for though, eh?

thanks, i just asked the question because i've heard about a lot of Acura Legends, and nissan 300zx's needing engine rebuilds at like 150000 mile. but then again what was i thinking, they aren't lexus'.

Ask most Lexus dealers how many 1UZ engines they have had to rebuild. I am willing to bet they have never done one.

Cheaper to buy a low mileage engine than rebuilding it. Unless u are rebuilding for high performamce.
