my 1mz-fe died! my new winter project


Recommended Posts

So my 98 avalon with 230,000 miles decided to die about a month ago. The rear valve cover gasket started to leak oil right onto the exhaust at about 200,000 miles so I knew her time was coming. A bearing somewhere in the bottom end of the engine gave out while I was driving one day. I paid cash for the car almost 6 years ago and we've been through hell and back together (100,000 miles, tboned, rear ended, and lots of memories) so im gonna fix it up better than new! Im on mobile so no pics at the moment. So far we got the engine out of the car and are starting the teardown. I figure since its out and its gonna be completely rebuilt I should have some fun with it and im gonna see what I can do about adding a turbocharger.

It was fast before, even for a large sedan and I think the turbo is gonna make it pretty fun. If anybody has tips or tricks for any of this process they would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading!
