Building a Toyota 2JZ Engine With "CHEAP" Rods?? (Step-By-Step)
117We’re building a Toyota 2JZ-GTE short block with $600 MaxpeedingRods forged rods and Wiseco pistons - and showing you every step. Can these “cheap” rods actually handle real power?
Huge update for my RHD JZA70 Toyota Supra! Today we'll be installing the entire rotating assembly into my freshly machined 2JZ engine block! All the good stuff - Wiseco forged pistons, Maxpeedingrods forged h-beam rods, freshly polished crankshaft, ARP main studs and rod bolts, ACL bearings, etc! I'll cover bearing install, torquing the main studs, piston ring grinding/filing and install, using plastigage to check clearances, checking thrust clearance, and how to set rod bolt stretch using a stretch gauge. This Supra is really coming together, can't wait to have it running again.
