Engine life 96 FJ 80

1996 with 190k
1st head gasket at 130k (oe gasket)
2nd head gasket at 182k (oe gasket) which required pulling the motor to address electrolysis on block/head deck. Decided on new oe shortblock to alleviate milling.

97 1FZ-FE
Gas engine
Almost 150,000 miles
Original engine
PO is a mud member and judging by his old posts nothing has ever been done to it.
Due for a valve cover gasket and not much else...

...now ask me about the mileage on the herd of Toyota vans, Corollas and Camrys I've owned

Wife's: 1996 1FZ-FE; 165,000; original motor; head gasket replaced and top 1/2 refreshed at 145K miles due to minor head gasket leak. New plugs, wires, dist. Runs like a champ.

Mine: 1996 1FZ-FE; 152,000; original motor; head gasket replaced and top 1/2 refreshed at 145K miles preemptively due to supercharger installation and wanting to not have to do it after. Runs great - gets an annoying P0401 (EGR) code.

I am trying to compare the life of the drive train in a gas guzzling internal combustion engine vehicle with the life of the drive train in a hybrid/electric car to include the battery. I am using the Toyota Prius so I thought I would keep with the same brand and use the Land Cruiser since build quality is top notch with Toyota. I rather hate school and would rather be wheeling.

 

[spencertron]

93 1fz. 205k and some change. for sure no rebuild but i'm not POSITIVE if either of the POs replaced any components. i dont think they did. either way, it runs like a champion.
