Engine tear down and assembly.
This was necessary as I'm not using a 100 series 2UZ-fe VVti drop in. Instead I scored a low mile GX470 Lexus engine from WI. To recap; it was the best engine I could find. It was in a Lexus Dealership every 5K to 6K for fluids +, was only recently salvages with minor impact to RH side, front end was intacted so engine stayed protected from elements (water).
Before receiving replacement engine I began my tear down of my overheated blown engine. I needed to tear down to a near bare long block to get parts I'll need. Also this gave me the opportunity to see what damage was done to it from overheating.
Main wiring harness to ECU was first up.
