IMPRESSIVE! 80 Series Toyota Land Cruiser 4.5L 1FZ-FE Engine Teardown At 343,000 Miles!

Video Description

I LOVE 80 Series Land Cruiser! SO today I'm tearing down a 4.5L 1FZ-FE from a 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser with a mere 343,000 miles. This was from a VERY wrecked vehicle and the engine suffered enough damage in the wreck that we could not hear it start. Part of our procedure @Importapart is to completely test engines before we consider them good, and this engine failed a compression test in cylinders 4 and 5. That, and with the external damage we marked the engine to be dismantled and that's what I do in this video. So what does a 343,000 mile Toyota engine look like from their golden era? Heavy wear? Can you tell it's got that many miles? or has someone been in here during that time? These questions are all answered in this video.

Check out a few of my favorites! 1. Recalled GM L87 6.2L Teardown https://youtu.be/ohGx0xIanNY 2. Ford Godzilla 7.3 Teardown https://youtu.be/kNUXIzHz3fk 3.

Part of our model includes buying blown up and bad engines to dismantle for parts. We salvage the good, sellable parts and recycle rest. No, we don't rebuild engines but we do sell parts to people who do! As always I hope you enjoyed this video. I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
