What's the general consensus on the quality of LCE Performance rebuilt Toyota engines? There's a '97 80-series for sale in my area with what the sellers calls "an original engine completely rebuilt by LC Performance." I've never heard of them, which makes me cautious.
 
I saw that posting, 400k on truck 150k on a rebuilt lc engine. Have a shop do a pre purchase inspection with a compression and leak down test, that will give you an idea of the health of the motor. I have looked at there rebuild kits before, and I would personally not put that in a cruiser, Chinese safety pistons, Hastings rings are good, for bearings they offer generic sizing which Toyota did not use each bearing size is specific to the journal. Maybe I am wrong it’s got 150k miles on the rebuild.

Here's their rebuild kit, I assume those are the parts they'd use on rebuilds in house. Not sure on parts quality but i'm sure someone else can chime in

It is not uncommon to get 200,000 miles or more out of the 1FZ-FE (4.5L) but when you do need to replace or rebuild it LCEngineering has the quality parts your looking for.

I purchased a short block from the Toyota dealer, the oem gasket set from parts soup, had the head rebuilt by a local engine shop and assembled the rest myself. Its been running since December 2023. Works fine.Its all Toyota parts.I Have lc engine parts on my 22re. I still prefer the factory timing gears and chain. I do use their metal back timing guides on the 22re. Have not purchased and parts from them for MY cruiser
