Sorry for the delay - i replaced the engine and am keeping it.

Hey guys - just wanted to drop a recommendation for my new mechanic for my 07 LC, Mayo Automotive. The owner is a former 15+ year Toyota tech and they specialize in Toyota and Land Cruiser's. They have a facebook page with lots of photos of projects. My truck was there for a very long time (3...

Thanks for the info. The seller of my reman engine will give me $700 for the core, so I’m just trying to see if there’s a better deal to be had. If there’s not based upon this into, I’ll just get the core credit. Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, but I located the brand based upon a stamp I found on the unit. It is a Autozone house brand Duralast.

My water pump failed, broke timing belt, and we believe bent the valves and damaged the pistons. 180k miles on the engine at time of damage. $1,200 obo.

Would very much appreciate anyone's help in identifying this brand of waterpump. Long story short, i went back and checked my records and have a very specific parts list i gave my mechanic for the 90k service and it included OEM waterpump. Mw WP seized up, broke the TB, and trashed my engine...

Thanks for everyone's help. So i think we found the culprit - water pump seized up and broke the timing belt. Toyota Tech says this is not an OEM water pump. I am researching my emails to find where i told the mechanic to use OEM Toyota parts. Might anyone know what brand water pump this is...

Thanks for the info. Does anyone have any other good websites for engines other than car-part.com?

Sorry for the delay. I’m having the truck looked at by a second mechanic for a second opinion on whether it can be fixed with new valves/guides and replacement engine opinions. I should know my plans next week whether I am keeping or selling and will let you know.

Thanks for the info. There is not much available for LC/LX 4.7 VVTI, but I see several GX470 in my area.

I figured I would start a new thread on this particular issue to keep folks from having to read to the bottom of my water pump thread. Any rec's on reman options for my 2007 4.7 VVTI would be appreciated. I called Jasper, they don't make a reman 4.7 VVTI. I called Jarco and they are $6250...

I’m taking offers on the car as is but still considering options.

Thanks for the info. The VVTI engines are hard to find. Is a tundra or sequoia VVTI as good as a LC VVTI? Is used better than reman?

I appreciate all the nice and helpful messages. I’m going to have it towed to another shop for a second opinion. The other shop are late model Toyota specialists and recommended by others on this site. They say it’s probably shot but worth checking the pistons to see if perhaps a valve job...

This is tough but I just don't have time for a project like this right now. 2007 Land Cruiser. Black Garnet Pearl 180,000 miles Water pump replaced at 115k, just now failed at 180k and broke the timing belt. Compression test shows 0-50 psi. The story - I purchased this truck in 2011 with...
