BLEW UP A PRIUS?! 2010+ Toyota Prius 1.8L 2ZR-FXE Engine Full Teardown

Check out our website at www.Importapart.com or email us at importapartsales@gmail.com for parts and part inquiries. I've been tearing down engines on camera for 2 and a half years! Search my channel to see what I've torn down. Here's a few recents: Mini Cooper/PSA N14 https://youtu.be/Yfolxiin_Wo Ford 1.0 Ecoboost 3cyl https://youtu.be/0yx1-50iqnA Infiniti/Nissan VR30DDTT https://youtu.be/HB-wzyIq_pQ Dodge Ram 8.0 V10 https://youtu.be/Ot-GbhaeaDw Todays engine is one often thought to be impossibly reliable, but like any engine ever made, the general public has found a way! A 2010+ Toyota Prius 2ZR-FXE. This is a 1.8L Atkinson cycle aluminum 4 cylinder that makes just shy of 100hp on its own. With the relatively low power output, you'd assume these low stress engines would run for ever but really, these engines are kinda notorious for this type of failure. That's why used engines are $2000-3000 even with higher mileage. The high price of a used engine usually means there's a significant demand and a relatively low supply of good used engines. Why am I doing this? I own and run a full service auto salvage business and part of our model is dismantling blown up engines to salvage the good parts to resell. We do not rebuild engines, but we do supply parts to those that do! I really hope you enjoyed this teardown, as always I love all of the comments, feedback, and even the criticism. Catch you all on the next one! -Eric
