Engine replacement questions

[rickyedge323]

Time for a new engine in the 100, blew it out in ouray. Wondering if anyone has went the tundra/sequoia route and did a successful swap by swapping the oil pan, mounts, exhaust manifolds and some of the front accessories. Was anything else involved? Reason I ask is tundra engines are everywhere for cheap, with relatively low mileage. If it didn't work out, let me know why

How did you kill a 2UZ? Overheat?

Valve covers and rear main pissing oil, topped it up frequently instead maintaining properly, got stuck i. The middle of nowhere with no oil and slung a rod/locked it up good. Lesson learned lol.

Possible bent rod as well, I'll have to take a look after I pull it out and assess the damage

Hey there! I commented on your Facebook post too, but double-tapping it here. Several of us have taken non-LC/LX engines and put them in our cruisers. Upper/lower oil pans, oil coolers, exhaust manifolds, and wiring harnesses just need to be swapped over. Pretty straight forward in the grand scheme of things.

I bought my LX with a blown engine (see thread in signature). The engine I found to put in it was a zero-mile engine out of a tech school that I tore down and then rebuilt from the bare block up using the FSM. Based on the wiring harness part number, I believe it was originally destined for a 2 wheel drive Sequoia.

Don't just buy any engine. Seller lie. Do your homework, starting with VIN # on BK2 head and a carfax. Scope the cylinders.

Year matters. The 100 series 2006-07, Toyota changes to the 2UZ-fe VVT engine. If not VVT, hunt for non VVT 4.7L 2UZ-fe. 98-99 have a weak throttle body. 03-05 the throttle body changed.

Basically all Toyota & Lexus 4.7L 2UZ-fe long block (block and heads) are all the same, before VVT.

VVT: 2UZ-fe VVT long block, in all Toyota & Lexus, are all the same.

They changed the piston and heads in the VVT. In addition to Intake, exhaust man, added S.A.I. changed the CAT, used A/F sensor, different o2, wire harness variation and ECU.

The Japanese made engine, is considered better, than USA made. The USA made 2UZ, had high incidence of rod knock.

What are the differences between 2UZ-fe VVti engines, & where can I get one??
