I was told it would be better to get a new motor. Damage might be more extensive

If anyone knows what year I can go up to in terms of engine year. Please do not hesitate to share.

Unfortunately when I turned it on. It sounded like a clunking kind of noise. Idk if it’s worth saving

I’ll look into that as well. Going to make some calls on some local engine service shops in the Philly area. I’d rather have mine rebuilt(at a sensible price) than get a used motor with who knows how many miles because lots of the sellers bs the numbers

Original owner was driving then the vehicle started to smoke. He then continued to drive it while it was smoking until it turned off. Water pump failure, then overheated causing 5 out of 8 cylinders to lose compression pretty much. Vehicle can turn on but only for about 1 second u til it turns off

That’ll definitely be tough. I’m waiting on a reply from Lexus. Also researching into seeing if a rebuild is possible and worth it

I might be able to get the ECU out of it

Thanks, yea I’ve called well over 20 dealers and most of them say it’ll fit. The sensors is what I might run into some problem’s because they might be different. I’ll email them though, they might have the real experts behind a desk lol

That’s exactly what I’m worried about. I was going to reuse all the sensors from the current vehicle and use the block only. I’ve called well over 20 Lexus dealers. Most said yes it’ll work but they’re unsure about the electronics

Hi, I’ve got a 2010 gx460 with a blown motor. I’ve been looking for a donor motor and found a 2017 engine that was local with much lower miles. I was wondering if that would work or not
