Folks, please pay attention.
NIB is "new in box."
The pic above was to show what a short block is, since inundated with questions about it being a complete engine.
It is not.
It is a brand new block, which is the hunk of steel that combustion occurs in, that includes the oil pump bushing. This is the only way to get the oil pump bushing from Toyota.
It is brand new pistons, that are responsible for that combustion.
Brand new rods that do the same thing your own Rod does.
Brand new crankshaft that transmits power to the tranny.
Brand new bearings that allow all the motion to occur.
Did I say it's brand new?
All that, assembled to the same exacting tolerances on the same shop that built the 1FZs in your 80s, and that's in Japan, if you weren't aware.
This is the core of a healthy 1FZ and is the logical choice to use as a foundation for a rebuild, considering the expense of a rebuild and downtime associated with.
You transfer your goods over, with head work and master gasket kit (other items if you suffer from whike your in there, like I do) and your ready to run for another twenty years.
You can not buy these parts and pay to have the block torn down, boiled, bored, boiled again and reassembled for this kind of money, and it's all brand new.
