I have an E12 2005 Corolla with the same engine with just 79,000 miles from new. I can see it going well over 100,000 miles as i frequently service it and is well maintained.
Excellent! A very good example of how long a well built engine can last with regular oil changes, that's preferably more often than factory recommendations. Auto-RX could possibly loosen up the oil-rings and postpone the rebuild. Looking forward to the next video on this engine.
You are absolutely right for the more frequent oil changes. And yes similar products can postpone the rebuild but they must not be used often because can cause other problems. Thanks for the comment!! Stay tuned for the assembly!
I have had a few Toyota Tercels with over 300,000 km and a corolla... all from the 90s... To be fair, I also had a 2L VW Jetta (gas) that had over 320,000... Well built engines last. I do have to say that it is shocking how good this engine looks despite all lf that burnt oil varnish...
90' engines was way better built than newer ones. They were built to last. Modern engines may have technology but are made of worse materials andmore complex parts that fail. And dont mention the EV's......😆😆😆 Quite some cars you had! I'm sure you kept them all well maintained also. Even a good built engine without maintenance has shorter life than expected.
Great video and impressive to see such little wear after so many km. This is good to know because I have the same engine but 1,6 and in a Corolla from 2003, at them moment 168 000 km and I change oil and filter every 5000-6000 km and I buy the items from Toyota.
OK 400k+ km is a lot. It's only logical that an engine would need a rebuild and one size up pistons. But it's amazing that the rest of the engine is relatively OK. The thermostat piping was like new inside.
I had this same model 8 years ago. Problem was that it cosumed oil (about a litre in 1000km). I was told that the cooling channels were to small the enginge had a to high fuell burning temperature. That got the pistonrings got stuck.
No. The cooling channels are way bigger in this engine than others. The problem is the long oil change intervals. The oil is cooked it forms small particles that block the oil control ring channels. Thats what is causing the oil burning!
Hey there! Recently I've bought a E12 Corolla with the same engine, it's now at 289,000 km on the dash and running perfectly and smoothly. One thing I noticed almost immediately when driving the car is when changing gears to higher ones the RPM goes up a little (about 300-400 RPM) for about 1-2 seconds precisely when I step on the clutch and step off the gas pedal. In all other cars I've driven they did not do the same (RPM goes down immediately), so I wondered if this is a feature of the engine or the ECU or some malfunction somewhere. I ended up reading a lot of things about it on Corolla owners forums and apparently it's a normal thing. Toyota has made it like that as default to better control the gas emissions, but I would like to know other and different opinions about this - is it true that all 4ZZ-FE 1.4 16v behave like that? Because it can be pretty annoying to drive like that and it gets worse at higher RPMs and higher speeds. The workaround for it is to release the foot off the gas pedal one second before stepping on the clutch to change gears... so it makes us create new driving habits. I had an Avensis 2.0 D-4D Diesel the same year as the E12 and it did not do the same thing, although I know it's a completely different engine and fuel. I appreciate any comments about this. Greetings from Portugal!
Hello. I suspect a vacuum leak on the intake manifold side. Your idle is dead smooth or it fluctuates even a little? If it is, most likely there is a leak. There are some small vacuum hoses that probably are the cause of this.
@@amtperformance7072 Thanks for your reply. My mechanic had a look at the issue I described and actually blamed the Throttle body or any sensor / valve connected to it. He said that ideally the complete throttle body should be replaced for a better result. They cleaned it up completely but it didn't help much. Due to the high mileage, there's a natural wear down. When idle, RPM doesn't fluctuate but it stays a bit lower than what is expected and the car vibrates a little. They connected the car to the diagnostics but they didn't tell me of anything related to vacuum leak, although I may ask them to check for that just in case and maybe replace the manifold gasket. At least it's inexpensive. If I have to replace the full intake manifold that can be really expensive... I hope not. I'm still knocking my head on this high revvup thing when changing gears and to me this can't be normal or standard... But I might end up getting used to it. Well, thanks a lot again for your analysis and support!
@@fabiomartins1866 It' almost impossible for the throttle body to wear at a state that it is not working properly. The engine on the video had 435000 km and the throttle body worked perfectly. BUT. Right under the butterfly there is an electronic valve that adjusts the air passing when the throttle is closed. The cavity inside is very difficult to clean but if you disassemble the valve you can clean the cavity. Of course you must take the throttle body off the manifold to do it. Of coarse if you replace the entire throttle body it will work fine. But it is that valve which is not working not the body. Insist to your mechanic to dismantle and clean it. At least it is much more cheap than replacing the whole unit and i'm certain that it will solve the problem. Greetings!
The crankshaft is shown at 31:50. You are right about the camshafts. I put them on another bench and forgot to show them. But the journals and the lobes were in near mint condition with no signs of wear or marks. I will show them on the second part of the video, the assembling of the engine!
Did this engine still have the first, factory timing chain? About how many kilometers was the oil changed on this car, is it 15, 20, 25k km a year? I would say that it was at least 15k km, otherwise it would be difficult to withstand this mileage.
I know the owner and he bought it new. The timing chain has never been changed. Not only that but even the water pump and the radiator are never been replaced. I cant believe it myself... The maintenance was always on time and never exceeded 10000km intervals.
Then the key is obviously short oil changes. Here in Europe, they still sell new cars with 30k km oil change service intervals. Let's say a new skoda(vw) kodiaq 2.0 tdi. And people fall for it.@@amtperformance7072
I wanna I ask like a silly question apologize for that from the heart❤️ I was wondering in the 1zzfe from 2002-2007 1.8 they have vvti where is the location what does that plug looks like I would be greatly appreciated if you show us that plug if they have where does it source
@@samueleyasu3531 yes its the same serries (zz) engines. They look very much the same. I dont understand what exactly you want to know. You want a picture of the plug of the vti or the location of the solenoid on the engine?
i have a corolla levin with same engine manual now at 374,000kms still drives very good , serviced every 6k or 6months
Very nice! With that frequent oil changes it will last many more!!!

If you service it more frequently than the schedule book it will last longer for sure!
@@amtperformance7072 I service it every 6,000 miles

Thanks man! It was regularly serviced and behold the results. You do the right job to change the oil frequently. It's the engines' life.
Well taken care of engine.
That's very impressive for that mileage!
Wow TH-cam is something else. I have learned so much from TH-cam Thank you for the video god bless you

Yes it is a lot but if you take care of ot it these engines can survive even more (not a lot more but ok)...

Why didn't you show Crank and Camshafts???
The crankshaft is shown at 31:50. You are right about the camshafts. I put them on another bench and forgot to show them. But the journals and the lobes were in near mint condition with no signs of wear or marks. I will show them on the second part of the video, the assembling of the engine!

Except the pistons the rest of the engine is in great condition for the mileage!
