Just got my 1jz with a r154.
It's getting a rebuilt. Started disassembling the engine. Celebrated with some steaks and coronas!!

 

no steak pics? j/k congrats on the new purchase and am glad to hear you'll be rebuilding ala replacing water pump, oil pump, all seals, etc.

 

woohooo another 1jzer just down the street from me!!

Let me know when you get it up and running!

 

This seems to be popular with me today



Cant wait. And thanks for drinking good beer

 

+1 on the beer choice.

 

They would taste better if they were ice cold with lime

 

+ salt FTW

 

+pepper for the steak

 

haha nice ...good luck with it

 

beautiful!!! congrats..

 

Little update. Pull the head off today and completely disassembled.
It looks pretty bad. Couple of the exhaust valves looks like its about to go.
Springs don't seem to have too much tension in it.

Any aftermarket valves/springs you guys could recommend?


After cleaning off the surface as much as I could before it goes into the machine shop for hottank and resurface.


Pictures of the block. Looks pretty bad. Probably am going to rebuild the whole bottom end with new rings, bearings, and arp bolts.

 

...eewww...sludge makes me cry looking at it

 

Nice pick up..

and +1 for the rebuild

 

so when is the expected completion date?

 

Ferrea valvetrain FTW!
