Do you ever wonder how does a Toyota engine with 300,000 miles look like on the inside? Is it all worn and done for? or is it ready for another 300,000 miles?
In this video we have a unique opportunity to have a first hand look inside of a 300,000 miles 2AZ-FE 2.4L engine. This 1 owner 2009 Toyota Camry with a Manual Transmission burns oil at a high rate. Not caused by the 300,000 miles but caused by an issue from birth due to bad pistons and rings.
We'll take this engine out of this car in this video inspect it, fix the issue that it has and reassemble it and towards the end of the video you'll hear it running again.

I was a Porsche tech for over 10 years and finally reached my limit on how so many customers were treated and often ripped off. I started my own shop in Eastern LI where all I did was European cars. Like you, my shop was spotless and within 6 months I was on fire with work (good timing). Other repair shops were killing me with jobs they didn't know how to do. Jobs like timing belts, fuel injection, ABS systems, etc. I loved rebuilding engines and the satisfaction of hitting that key and hearing it "breath fire". I could go on, but I needed to say what a great, honest, and professional technician you present yourself to be. Rare in this field today. Good luck and good fortune to you and your endeavors.

@JR-bj3uf Год назад

I started life as a motorcycle mechanic. My boss laid out for me the advent of the independent shop. The guy goes out on his own. He takes some former customers with him. He treats his customers like kings and they tell their friends. He gets more work than he can do. At this point he can do two things. He can run off new customers or he can hire more techs. Because most good mechanics tend to want to work on cars and not manage a business they usually choose the first option. Then the shop starts to get a negative reputation. Then what was once a happy and exciting place becomes a drag of unhappy customers. He said the life cycle is around 12 years.

@Nitrox4me Год назад

@@JR-bj3uf I hear that. I got fed up with NY after 15 years and moved my business to FL. It didn't do as well. In NY I was treated like a celebrity... in FL I was getting questions about things like "why don't you offer $19.95 oil changes" when they're driving a MB that holds 10 qts. After 4 years, with the wind from my sails gone, I wrapped it up. I went to work at FM Toyota as the shop foreman and climbed to the SM job in pre-owned. There I was finally fired for being too honest with the customers... go figure. Retired now.😀

@JR-bj3uf Год назад

@@Nitrox4me and always the first question from a customer is "when will it be ready?" never mind that the problem has not been diagnosed or that the transmission has to come out.

@Nitrox4me Год назад

@@JR-bj3uf This is just one of many reasons that I wrapped my business up in FL. I was under a dash doing some short circuit repairs and caught a glimpse of someone standing just outside the door. "I'll be right with you" I said. OK was his reply. I got out from under and asked how I could help. His MB 500 SEL was blocking 2 bays. "I think I may have a light out"... OK, I ran through the lights and found the RR brake light out. I got the 1157 bulb and installed it. He asked how much. I told him just give me $1.50 for the bulb. He gave me $2 and waited for the change...

This reminds me of a guy I knew who was an amazing mechanic, he had the confidence to work on any car. If he didn't know something he had this huge book he would open up it was like a mechanics bible (not Haynes manual), he often referred to it for torque measures etc. The only thing that stopped him from being the best mechanic in town IMO was he couldn't speak a word of English so he only worked for a small group of people he knew and he was very modest with his pricing, he opened up my mk2 golf engine and cleaned it inside out, I bought a new block we cleaned that too and put it in. He did most of the hard work, it took us a whole day and only charged me 130$, he had two kids so I always gave him more and would call him whenever I needed anything knowing that I was helping him too. Not long after that he passed away from cancer at mid age and it always plays on my mind because being the kind of modest untainted uncorrupted soul he was he really didn't deserve it. My only regret now was not reaching out to his wife to help more so I hope whoever reads this at least keep that in mind if you go through something similar.

Solid state batteries could make a big difference but those are realistically a decade away from production if that.

Owner here: Timothy, the great ones make it look easy. Michael Jordan makes the jump shot look like anyone can do it. Wayne Gretsky make the assist look effortless and AMD does open heart surgery on engines like it is nobody's business. 8 months into the replacement and everything is AOK.

I don’t even own or drive a Toyota, but I have been really enjoying all of your videos! So much information, and very well explained. Keep up the great work!
