Reputable place that has rebuilt 1fzfe? (1 Viewer)

[94j80]

I see a few options online but not sure if they use oem parts. Is there a good option? Surprised yotashop doesn’t have the option. Not sure I have the time with 3 toddlers to work on something at this time, but that might be my option. Location is East Tennessee.

JMHO Your not going to find a rebuilder that uses OEM parts

@Fj80oregon rebuilds a lot of them. Maybe he could ship you one.

Or it's time for a v8

 

[Fj80oregon]

would be happy to talk about a rebuild for you. I only use OEM parts and am in the middle of rebuilding one that is going to Tennessee funny enough. Have three more in the shop waiting to be rebuilt. @94j80 pm me if you’re interested. Thanks Wes

I got my motor rebuilt here with all OEM parts. I had the motor shipped to them and shipped back to my installer.
Yota1 Performance. Very very reputable and reliable shop in California.

Do you mind telling me how much they charged? Thanks!

@randomkid123 Keep in mind this was 2019. I'm sure prices have drastically changed, but I am super happy with the quality and reliability of the rebuild. Not one problem from the rebuild and I put on 75,000 miles since the rebuild.

$5,235.00 in 2019 has the same buying power as $6,548.41 in 2025.

2019 : $5,235.00
2025 : $6,548.41

I'm assuming that your calculation is using the consumer price index. While the numbers are true for the broader market, a rebuild of a 1FZ-FE is a pretty niche thing and will most definitely cost more than $6550 in 2025.

It says they straightened your head .027.

if you’re not in a hurry, it can be done. I was able to do it. Took me a year though. Had a toddler and a newborn when I started. Worked on it most week nights for a couple of hours. Just did my 500 mile oil change last night.

More like $10-12K if one is farming it out.

Not even Toyota Pistons and Rings in that receipt. Hasting Rings are the worst for your block. Toyota pistons will set you back about 120 each(before the Tarriffs), Toyota ring set is going to set you back about 425. If they sold you Toyota Rods, main and thrust bearings might of set you back close to 300. The Taiho set only cost about 45-50 buck back then(they marked it up to almost the cost of the Toyota numbered bearings). So many parts on that reciept are not Toyota. Prices at that time do not match what you paid for the part. Very rare the machine shop I used in Colorado needed to replace the pin bushing, the brass is just that good. Rod big ends were typically resized. For Califronia Labor seems cheap. No water pump on that bill . Only reason to replace the Crank position gear is if one busts it when you pull it apart, never repalced even on of these items.
Then when you had it installed. There is all the tune up parts, filters, Injectors (new or cleaned), hoses, Radiator if needed(most do), Belts,Accessory drive pulleys, ETC that goes along with the build. Then shipping, that must of cost a pretty penny each way.
I once had a customer long time ago, get a used engine, it was shipped from a California company to Santa Fe NM. It fell over in Transist and busted the
Starter hole off the block. The Salavage yard did not have another to send. And it snarled up in Insurance claims for a bit. Took an extra 6 week for this guy to get taken care of.

Yes, one can build a 1FZ with all Toyota parts, but it will not be 6500. Yup, still building engines. One at a time with love.
All parts for the 1FZ are still available from Toyota to rebuild this engine. As far as I have needed. And that said, there are a lot of great Japanese parts avaiable that match Toyota's quality to save money. Just need to look.
Get real with you self when you go to rebuild one. Nothing in THE Good Old USA is cheap. Things can be done less costly, but not cheap. Cheap never pays for it self down the road. If you are paying a professional to do the work, expect to pay a liviable wage in the area he lives. Shop rates are getting Crazy. Most shops are closing in on 200/hr these days.
But I do not like doing long blocks for install at other locations. To many variables to give a warranty to.
Hope people that do build long block, and ship out. have good luck, truly I do wish you the best luck. All it takes is one bad install at a location and have the customer want warranty. Then the s*** show starts.
Any how, Just my thoughts.

After seeing these prices it makes me glad I’m dumping that boat anchor of a 1FZFE for a diesel boat anchor

Well, if it's any consolation...
Some of the prices above can be beat, sometimes significantly by shopping various domestic and international online sources like Partsouq and Megazip. But, that shopping does take some time. Of course with the new tariffs, who knows
For me, I enjoy the process, and can take the time to do it right. I'm 99.99% sure FJ80Oregon is a builder that would do the same, and there are others, for sure.
While aftermarket might be good; for my $$$, I'm OEM

The point was that invoice was in dollars from years ago, and prices have inflated.
