That depends on the engine.
If you mean, it's a used 4.7L 2UZ that was manufacture in Japan. i.e. 100 series, GX470, 4runner, etc, and not the USA built Tundra or Sequoia. That is a great. Finding a good salvaged 75K miles 2UZ-fe VVTi, is near impossible in the USA.
I would scope cylinder. Also scope into valve covers, inspect for gunk buildup. Look at dipstick, for unsal color or lines, that may indicate bad oil service history or overheating.
Replace the intake manifold & throttle body gaskets. They're rubber and shrink with time.
I would not have them R&R crankshaft seal, unless leaking. Which a factory install would not be 99 out of 100 times, even on 25 yr old with 500K miles.
Make sure if, Timing belt pulleys replaced. The pulley bolt threads, are sealed. I use Toyota 103 FIPG (oil)
If oil pump O-ring leaking, which at 75K miles it shouldn't be. Have oil pump O-ring replaced.
Don't touch rear main if not leaking, unless it need be exposed. ie: non 100 series oil pan swap.
PCV valve if any question as to function. But it 75K miles, it should be like new.
Make sure to inspect the S.A.I pumps filter. Better yet, have a replaceable filter installed.
We've a $2.00 part in the S.A.I. (secondary air injection) system of the VVT engine, that is taking-out ~$7,000.00 $15,000 $25,000 (inflation) in parts. WOW! I've a very easy and cheap WORK AROUND. You are going to love this ;) This thread is dedicated to the 4.7L 2UZ-fe VVT engine, in the...

Warning:
If you mean, a JDM 75K miles from Japan. I'd really question, it legit.
JDM engines ( Japanese Domestic Market) are very good in most cases. When I was looking for 4.7L 2UZ-fe VVTi, about 7 years ago. I saw many JDM ads, claiming they had 4.7L 2UZ JDM. In every case, they were bogus. In taking with a 20 year veteran of importer of JDM. They said they don't see 4.7L 2UZ engine, ever. Perhaps they're now coming out of Japan, IDK but I doubt it! Just yesterday, I saw in a listing for 4.7L. Two mixed in with others, claimed to be JDM. I pointed to listing service to another in mud. I told him to ask for pictures, VIN#, doc's sometime that he could use to verify miles & origin of engine. He did, they never got back to him. Same as what happen to me years ago. If you question these guy, they don't get back (with any proof) usually they'll just not call you back.
In any case:
Ask for a picture of the BK 2 head (RH head, center, just below valve cover) VIN # plate. Do your homework, as if a PPO on a used vehicle. Run VIN # at Carfax and Toyota/ Lexus for service history.
Look my master thread under engine for links on difference and identification.
I've been a Land Cruiser fan since 2001. I first found ih8mud in 2005. I've learned and still learning everyday from the many contributors of mud. Thank you all! First thing I learned is 100 series are tanks, that just keep going. But even tanks need maintaining. This thread is dedicated to...
