Broken 1uz engines.

One of the best channels for uz engines I've learned a lot getting ready to swap the engine on my 98 ls400

I know. It was a sad day. 2 of the 3 were able to live another day. One was laid to rest for now.

[@danielbullock445]

Hey mate, so how come cylinder 1 had the issue every time on those engines that had the supercharger etc swapped each time? What do you think the cause was? Cheers.

[@bvward]

Kelvin, is there enough "meat" in the block to sleeve a cylinder? Or is the price prohibitive to do that?

[@CartuneNZ]

We have sleeved a few over the years but these days we generally look for another block. Our stuffed ones go off to race engine builders who bore them a bit and fit custom over sized pistons so nothing goes to waste.

Not looking forward to pulling mine apart.....

[@CartuneNZ]

Do we make a video of it?

[@callummcleod6362]

@@CartuneNZ give me a shout could be an idea

[@1234mattp]

Hey Kelvin, do you know of any uz mr2s in New Zealand or will I be the first to uz swap ;)

[@CartuneNZ]

It was done about 12 years ago by a mate of mine and there was a second one around too so sorry you arent the first

[@Rahimraissnia]

impossible

[@CartuneNZ]

I wish it was impossible however there is video proof of the failure. Cheers Kelvin
