Toyota Lexus 2GR-FE Teardown! Premature Death Of Toyota's Most Reliable V6 Caused By Obliviousness!

If this is the first time you've found my channel and want to browse my entire catalog of over 100 engine teardowns, check it out here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIYwo7JlrVQVg32JL-r4H7dfMxMqzWlVa To peruse our inventory and buy parts you can visit www.Importapart.com or email us at Importapartsales@gmail.com. By popular demand, I went out and found a Toyota 2GRFE from a 2008 Sienna to teardown. A first for the channel! This engine was diagnosed as bad by a shop and the van was sold to a salvage yard who then sold me the engine. Sometimes, I have my doubts when there isn't an obvious failure like a hole in the block, or it won't turn over. This teardown started like every other but WOW once I started pulling it apart, the failure became quite apparent! The 2GRFE is a very popular engine and can be found in many cars such as the Toyota Camry, Toyota Sienna, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Highlander, Lexus RX and ES350, as well as the Lotus Evora! These engines have a very good reputation as being one of the more reliable and cheap engines to own but that doesn't mean they can't fail. As we've seen on this channel many times, if someone is bound and determined(or blind and oblivious), they can ruin anything. This was a very easy teardown and I really hope you enjoyed it! As always, I appreciate all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one! -Eric
