From Australia, I own a 2004 Toyota Corolla Sportivo ( I think they're equivalent to the Toyota or Chevy Matrix you guys have over there) Been wanting to do a tear down of my own. You have given me some invaluable insight. ty.
Hope it worked out well. I have a 2 ZZ GE with 184 000 on it. Got to pull engine to change timing cover as it has a slight crack in it and dripping oil. Thought it might be the common tensioner o ring issue but found out since then it's timing cover and damaged gasket.
My mechanic did it without pulling the engine out but had it resting on a floor hack and car on hoist... Somehow he got the timing cover gasket and o ring replaced..
Pull out the pistons, make sure under the rings isn't full of gunge, there should be oil return holes make sure they're clear as this can cause a lot of trouble, it's common in the early zz engines but was revised in late 2004 and onwards zz engines
Hey you said you spun a rod bearing. Did it sound like a consistent Knock? And of so what damage can it do if driven on too long and is the engine block salvageable?
It sounded like a horrible chriping. Not like rodknock. Most 2ZZs usually sound like that when they get rodknock, a knocking sound, chriping, and squealing from metal on metal contact. Unfortunately the only thing salvageable from rodknock on these engines is the head, pistons and rods (if properly cleaned!). The crankshaft and all the bearings will need replacing. You could have the crankshaft machined, but I don't recommend it.
There is a wire on the power steering pump kinda close to the oil ring what would you call that? I ended up snapping it when I pulled off the power steering. Could you tell me I need to go buy a new one!
Which wire? If you're looking down into the engine bay is it directly on top of the power steering pump? Connecting to the same wiring as the coil packs?
Hello friend, I see that you are a lover of that engine. I write to you from Paraguay. I have a diesel sound in revolutions from 1500 to 1800. Passing those revolutions, it is silent. What suggestion do you give me? The engine is repaired from 0 in high gear. in low it looks like a diesel and hinders a lot of normal oil maintenance with liquid moly synthetic oil at the moment that regulates very well without any noise what is not yet changed are the lift bolt
It's okay! It is normal for these cars to sound like diesels! Clean both VVT filters on the engine and see if it gets better. The diesel noise is okay though. It's perfectly normal.

@@ivanmilic4696 the head doesn't physically line up with the engine (the head bolt holes, coolant and oil passages on the cylinder head and block do not line up. And if they did, you would need a custom timing chain cover and more. The 2zz block is much stronger than the 1zz, why would you want to use the 2zz head on 1zz block?
@@4jg2tc18 I have a corolla tsport and ep3 typer(k20a2). the corolla(2zzge) 0 issues and the typer : 1) synchros and 2nd gear break 2) chain tesioner fail 3) need valve adjustment every 20.000 kilometers 5)burn 1-1.5litre oil every 5.000km, the corolla burn max 300ml every 5.000km. Generally are very good and reliable engines but the people don't know how to work in 2zzge is very good and reliable engine mate
This is why I would build my engine alone 😂
Ikr?
i've never done an engine...but i figure the 2zz is a good place to start

In the next video, I ended up re-assembling the engine, I installed new pistons & wrist pins.
@@corbinxtitus I'll watch that later today, I have plans to modify my engine (4zz-fe) using some parts from 2zz-ge

I love your content man, I got more coming if you're interested in watching. huge motivator seeing this comment from you
The guy, "that is not an oil pump" not coming near my car.
Dis you change the rockers to farrea?
“Hey do you think rod bearings are...” that is what I said to myself before typing this. First thing he said he’s replacing lmao.

@@corbinxtitus thank you very much friend that calms me down

Keep it up man...
Thanks man
That was the oil pump
thats what i was thinking

No, you can't

@@ivanmilic4696 it'll be impossible. Find a 2zz block and build it
Motor garbage and very very expensive to modify to power with very bad results a toyota engine garbage
Haha... that's because they are already pushing over 100bhp per litre normally aspirated.
They are a gem of an engine.
