So speaking of the 2JZ, i got started on pulling it down last night. After an hour or so it looks like this:

Nothing too drastic found. Couple of leaking cam seals which have spilled oil down the entire block, and worse in the spark plug valley.
Found that at some point in the past a wire had been crimped between the manifold and the plenum:

So ill have to solder that up before i get it going.
Oh and the one bit i already knew:

Plug is broken off the VVTi solenoid, so that will need to be replaced.
I have a new timing belt, exhaust cam gear and water pump coming for the engine, and soon ill pull the sump off to weld in an oil temp sensor bung.
All in all it needs a tidy up, but nothing drastic.
Also i ducked out and picked this little guy up:

Ill shelve that for a bit later, about when it gets some 272deg cams and an aftermarket ECU… 🙂
