LOCKED UP Toyota Land Cruiser 1FZ-FE Engine Teardown! HAD TO USE ALL MY TOOLS TO GET CRANK BOLT OUT!

Email ALL part requests to [email protected]. What a teardown! This week's engine is a 4.5L 1FZ-FE from an 80 series Toyota Land Cruiser. This engine is found in 93-97 Land Cruiser and 96-97 Lexus LX450. This is thought to be one of the most reliable Toyota engines ever produced, and yet somehow, someone ruined it! This is one of my favorite engines of all time but that doesn't mean its perfect, and that surely doesn't mean its exempt from the same fate of many other engines when not taken care of. These are very simple and yet overbuilt engines that are relatively easy to work on. This is not the first 1FZ I've seen meet this death but this type of failure is 100% avoidable. 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. I don't build or rebuild engines, we simply supply hard parts to those that do! Want to see a particular engine torn down? I may have already done one! No really, check out my other videos for the engine you'd like to see! I've made over 60 other teardowns from a Cummins to an LS7, and from Rotary to Ram Ecodiesels. You can expect a new teardown every week!

Just wait and see! -Eric
