Hey guys, thought i might show off my new engine after my old one had it as some of you might have read. was imported by a company names K.A.D.E. development, the company normally imports create engines for speed boats but i just got lucky enough to find he had imported two 1UZFE's and myself and My mechanic mate are very impressed with the condition. pictures don't show just how good as on a closer inspection we found the pots still had hown marks!!! internals look beautiful! engine only cost me $950, right spot right time.

Also, We never cleaned it. had to drain all the oil and fluid out. note the liquid all over the concrete in the second picture. I'm very happy

Dipstick through the head means its a UZS131 Crown. Circa 1989-1991. Judging by the engine number its closer to mid 90's.

The spark plug leads will have their manufacturing year on them.
The water pump will have its month and year date stamped on it.
Providing these are original they'll give you a good idea of its age.


I've had a couple of engines that I'd rate as very very clean, but yours is definitely a step cleaner. Hopefully none of the seals have gone hard and there is no internal rust/corrosion.

I would have one of the worst! Oil was like syrup, gearbox was black, 270k on the dash :-(

Made a good garden ornament and coffee table out of it...

I kept the dipstick form the auto.
