It's so obvious when a RUclipsr was an actual technician before they created content.
With you conversation about happiness why not build your supra that you keep on the back burner instead of buy a new one?
Truth
@@michaelballinger7422 That thought has crossed my mind quite a few times, and there is a plan coming up to address it, still going for the new supra or maybe fix the important one.
@@TheQuestionableGarage ok so build your supra then set up a race between your car and a new supra. If you win buy a new supra if you lose let us fans pick from a poll of cars to be your next build 😀
@@michaelballinger7422 he wants to experience the greatness of a new BMW, duh
Jared seems like the kind of dude you just wanna kick it with and help work on whatever project he is wrenching on
Yeah. That guy's name is Tavarish. "Freddy."
He seems cool
Our boy Jared giving the secrets for a happy life in this one!
I'm not a Japanese car guy, but the 2JZ is near and dear to my heart. My roommate had a 94 Supra turbo and I have fond memories of helping him pull the original motor to swap out the short block for a fresh replacement Toyota one (it was abused be for he had it). Sadly, we lost him in an tragic accident (that was in no way his fault) in that car about a year later. He loved that car more than anything, so the Supra and the 2JZ will always be special to me. RIP Alex
Sorry for your loss. Glad you still have fond memories of him and his car. Hope you’re doing well.
@@ababab1939 Thanks for that. It's hard for me to believe, but it's actually been 15 years that he's been gone. Some of the memories still seem like yesterday and I still miss him all the time.
I just did an engine swap on my mazda 3 with no prior knowledge. With a lot of patience and motivation I did it all on my own. Things are only hard when you don't understand them.
Things are also hard when you have to get it done on the spot, because you have to work on the street in front of your house and it is the only car you own (been there).
Jared is the real deal. When you hear a mechanic just wanting to dig into refreshing an engine, that is a real mechanic!
"And now, deep thoughts.... with Jared Pink." 🙂
Am a little shocked you didn't scope the cylinders to see how they looked after 300k! Figured that would've been mandatory.
Love that Great Pyrenes -- I had one for a time and I still miss that beast. Most laid-back critter we ever lived with - right until it was clear to her that the 2-legged thing wasn't doing its job - and then she double clutched into LION_KILLER mode and let go with teeth and barking that would put the fear of God in you.
It's been a few years but this reminds me of my first auto mechanic work. My dad's 68 Chrysler Newport was running rough I told him the library had books. Chilton manual in hand, I was able to troubleshoot the rough running 383 that led me to discover a worn timing chain. All we had was a cheap socket set and wrenches to use for my first engine attempt. The book had every step needed for a novice. I was successful and saved my pop a few hundred bucks way back in 1972. With all the online tutorials available today, anyone with basic hand-eye coordination can tackle a lot of jobs. Jared is right on the money (you'll save!).
Jared is a very inspiring guy and great to watch and makes me want to go do things and have fun and stories to tell. Love this channel.
Jared knows more about All makes and models than anyone else I've sern on RUclips. The Ninja is the master of German cars, others have their niche. But Jared is the Guy.
Perfectly said. He is the man!
Jared is Awesome, his knowledge is amazing.
I am Johnny from the RUclips channel 71CT70 and I am a fourteen-year-old mechanic thank you Jared for being such a great teacher
I’m a bit stunned about the “Castrol stains” statement.
I had been using Castrol GTX high mileage (exclusively) in my Subaru for 14 years and every time I took the valve covers off, the internals looked brand new, no discoloring, just pure clean fresh aluminum color, even with 276,000 on the odometer.
I did change the oil every 3,000 miles, on the dot, religiously. (Hey, oil is cheap, and engines are expensive)
Your oil is cheap comment made me think, over the life of the car if your oil change was roughly $40 you’ve spent almost $4k on oil changes.
Jared is the type of the guy who encourages you to work on your own cars more. Thumbs up 👍
"The secret to life is friends, family, and doing stuff, not buying stuff". On a platform like RUclips where materialism is often over emphasized and glorified ... These are some of the wisest words I've ever heard!
Its a shame that I6 engines have kind of fallen from grace, so many legendary examples of engines with a 2J-esque reputation that can just go forever and make solid power if you just take care of them. Awesome content as always, I learned a bunch of stuff about the 2J
MB, Range Rover, and BMW still use them albeit turboed
Not to mention one of the longest continuously sold I6s ever: the 4.0 I6 from Jeep, originally developed by AMC, then continuously built by Chrysler until finally being retired in the Jeep Wrangler and replaced by a new V6.
Mazda is bringing back the I6 also
Just retired after a stressful 36 year career 6 months ago. Financially things are tighter but have done more and enjoyed my friends and family more in those 6 months than in many years prior. Appreciated Jarred’s thoughts and always like his content.
Nuggets of wisdom from Jared today were amazing! Your personality really shown thru today. I feel inspired
Having skin in the game makes me appreciate the old vehicles that I've torn down, built back up... prayed a great deal over... then get giddy when it all works... a bit more. Especially when going in clueless, coming out the other end with a grin. All the while learning what To Do and Not To Do for the next future go around.
Have a manual 02 IS300 with about 150k on the clock.
Couldn't agree more. Such an amazing engine, such a timeless car (except those pesky ball joints, those certainly have a time limit). If the IS300 came with the 2JZ-GTE stock, it would easily be worth dummy money.
They're still tons of fun NA though, even came RWD and with an LSD (if you're lucky, some didn't).
Can’t wait for Jarred’s book }Engine block for the Soul” 😂
Good working title, but... "The Karma Supra" Or I'll lose all respect for him!
I 100% agree with your work ethic. I'm a tech at a high volume independent shop and I turn over 40+ hours in 4 1/2 days, and I love it. I enjoy going in day to day not knowing exactly what challenges are coming my way and I get to work through them. Finding all their little quirks and hiccups and being able to keep our customers safe on the road. If you're ever in South Carolina upstate area come see me at Sunrise Auto Repair!
Doing a re-ring on an infamous oil-burning Toyota 4-cylinder next month. Total cost will be in $300 range for parts plus fluids that needed changing anyway so all in under $500. Of course it is intimidating even though I have been working on cars for decades and have refreshed more than a few engines. For a pro it is book time around 11 hours and I am scheduling 18 with the option to roll to the next weekend as needed because the last things you want to do is rush a job. This is literally a text book "follow the FSM steps" job with only two less-than-common tools you cannot borrow from the parts store.
I am self taught because I watched my parents and their friends getting screwed by a combination of dealer and independant mechanics that were less than honest. My first mechanical job was a clutch in their S10 after it had killed two in 54K miles...in a gravel driveway with a Chilton's manual, borrowed tools and a family friend that was a professional mechanic checking in on me each night after work. You learn in a variety of different ways but physically doing it is a great teacher.
Jared doing a spot of 'Zen and the Art of Toyota Engine Maintenance' there 😁
My dad taught me to work on cars when I was little. I never think of it in terms of money saved because I've never spent money on something I can do. For things I couldnt do, I've found mechanics that will show me what they are doing. The dealer won't do that, but local shops often will.
I picked up a 2007 Chevy HHR for $500 because it needed more work that the shop rate was more then the car was worth. Between buying parts from online shops for less than a local shop charged and going to wreaking yards for missing bits, I ended up putting $1200 into the car. I did the work over 2 months in my spare time. It's now worth over $4000 and will run for years before needing anything more than brakes, tires, and oil changes.
I enjoyed all the time I spent working on it. I added a roof rack to it because I happened to find one in a wreaking yard. Now I'm not afraid to dig into bigger car projects because of this car. I learned more about myself and what I can do if I let go of the fear.
Pick up a cheap car that needs work and enjoy the build. It doesn't need to be some sports car that you are building to race. It can be something slow and fun to just cruise around in. There are a lot of fun cars out there just waiting for someone to come give them a new chance at life.
This is the content we all need - Jared, I see you’re considering future content and all I can say is that I’ve been waiting to see you build your actual passion project car since before Johnny rev. Clean up the ol’ Supra girl, make her happy and healthy and clean again and know you have that sitting there waiting to rip at any time you like while you wrench away on the other projects that keep the channel going. If you build it, we will watch.
Jared the philosopher. Generally you have the right outlook on how to have a good life, it's a shame so many don't think the same way.
Love watching you work, just enough time lapse, and just enough to understand what you are working on.
My Dad owns a high milage 2JZ powered Altezza Gita. Outside of normal maintenance, the only thing he's needed to do was to replace a rusty radiator. Awesome car, awesome engine
For daily driving and value, the 3800 engine is amazing also.
Yup, the only thing you really need to watch out for on the 3800s is the coolant elbows that live underneath the alternator on the Series II/III and the LIM gaskets on the Series II.
Sadlly it is normally hooked up to the less than stellar 4T60E or slightly less bad 4T65E trans (glances at Park Ave Ultra in driveway and two manual-swap racecars in the back yard and parts car Regal GS under the gantry ready to give it heart).
Drop the supercharged version into the back of a Pontiac Fiero, and hang on for deal life.
@@digitalrailroader upper intake EGR burn through causing a shop to tell you it is a bad head gasket is another one. It takes an incredible amount of abuse to blow a head gasket in an L32.
My junkyard 2JZ from a 02 GS300 had about 200K miles on it and sadly had FIVE spun rod bearings! Can't imagine what that sounded like, but I assume it was driven by a deaf little old lady. Sourced a used crank and some good used rods/pistons, cleaned and replaced all the wear stuff and she now pushes my 59 Studebaker Lark around with ease. No need for a turbo, great milage and it'll run forever with Toyota reliability.
I have been enjoying to channel for a short time now and this is by far the best episode I have seen. While I have enjoyed your other ones and you on other channels, this was you in your element. You were incredibly relaxed and comfortable. Much less forced! Looking forward to more fun! Thanks for sharing.
buddy i just want to say thank you for making these videos. i understand how much work these are editing and filming and wrenching on everything. since i quit TV and use motor trend and a few other apps but i primarily use RUclips. i want to say thank you for your show. i look forward to each and every episode. you tavarish vgg sam puddin so many others make my life better thank you
Jared shows that being in the shop isn't just about working on cars, or learning how to fix them... it's a place where deep philosophical questions and observations are made.
My friend had a line I love when starting new things, "There is nothing they know that I can't learn."
Between watching videos and forums you can learn almost anything you may be interested in. All the experts you see one day long ago didn't know anything either. Just keep going and don't quit.
My sc300 has 347k miles right now with a street happy turbo kit on. And only running 8psi on stock head gasket. Still run strong. This is why i love my 2jz. And always on schedule when maintenance.
Also important to show people the importance of maintenance and not just mods
Thanks Jared!
Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
I have a 1992 SC400 and I love that car. Drives great. Runs really smooth. It only has 96,000 miles on it but I think it might need valve stem seals. It puffs just a little bit of smoke on startup.
Almost 230k on my 2ZZ Celica. Owned for the last 100k. Required maintenance has consisted of brake pads and rotors, blower fan, 2 coil packs (same one twice because duralast) and oil changes. Without a doubt consistent maintenance and treatment make a huge difference. But I've known so many friends with nearly brand new cars who have had nothing but trouble. I can't see myself getting anything other than another Toyota for my next daily, if this one ever dies that is
That motor makes me happy! It's so beyond clean! Omg
Hell of a great message in this episode as well. Thank you for the inspiration!
Great advice. No one has ever learned to make anything by being too afraid of breaking something. Though, admittedly, it helps to have a second car for transportation purposes.
It's funny I was talking to a coworker today about my uncle who drives a 1999 Toyota Camry with over 330K on it. He will openly admit that he doesn't know much about cars, and doesn't really want to do work on them; but he has a great mechanic that he takes it to twice a year since he doesn't drive it much anymore. The car is in near mint condition and he has no plans on getting rid of it any time soon; and his mechanic also advices him to hold on to it as long as he can.
Car maintenance and philosophy in one video, I couldn’t have guessed that one beforehand but everything you said rang true with me. I may drive an old and tatty Volvo V50 but it’s well maintained and I’ve travelled the world. It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you’ve done.
Proof of good maintenance, it’s not hard, change your oil regularly
Love the jarred secrets to life.
I invest in travel and my motorcycles. very happy with that combo
Enjoyed the side comments about life’s experiences - I guess that’s why I tend to enjoy your channel, s well as others, the work on non-exotics and old stuff. The experience and fun exceeds the “Curated” type channels.
Its a 2JZ, it has at least another 700,000 miles left in it.
If it were the earlier 2JZ it would have 7,000,000 miles left in it. :D
I really enjoyed watching you work, as always, but I also enjoyed hearing some of your philosophies! As James Taylor once said, “The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time".
I've been telling people the same thing for a happy life since I quit chasing money and started making those memories. I think you should sprinkle in some of the maintenance videos, I like it.
I think I know which friend you referring to. Great to have a friend that cares about each other.
17:52 Jared needs to build a shed outside for his air compressor 😅 more garage space ❤ less noise during filming - big brain 🧠 ideas 💡
My Tundra just rolled 300,000 in December...I hope my 5.7 lasts another 300,000🥰
That is the cleanest 2jz I have ever Seen None of the ones I have worked on were ever taken care of this well Jared @The Questionable Garage
Very well taken care of 2jz Very nice @The Questionable Garage
I had a 98 SC300 with 260k miles and it ran like a brand new car, 2js are amazing.
I have a 2002 Ford F150 with 4.6 2v...with 394,000 original miles. Deepest I have been into it is intake manifold gaskets. The top of the heads look much the same as that 2JZ. Use good oil, and a good factory (or high quality aftermarket) filter...maintenance is key!
Just wanted to say that I’ve been watching your show Since wrench everyday first came out and I like it now better then what it was keep up the good work jared
Hey Jared i got 2 2000 4runners with more then 350K and 1 with 900K Miles Toyota makes Solid Motors @The Questionable Garage
I need a guy like this to work on my Toyotas. The dealers in my area refused to work on damage on my wife's car, and my Camry hit 100k recently. Ugh... Good video! Love your work ethic.
Great video , very informative and motivating , i got the 03 GS Sport Design with same engine at 171k miles which i do every repair myself . Thanks dude .
Jared thank you for the wise words of motivation and navigating through life.
Very well said Yep Stories and Experiences don't take much space and they do make you more happy then Objects @The Questionable Garage
Great video and Philosophy Jared, thanks for sharing!
Great video ! Hope you had a blast driving those Vettes ! Take care !
Glad to see some sensible maintenance being done. And wow I bet those miles were worry free too. I've got an Es350 and all I do is change the oil every 3750 and drive it. Took it to the dealer to have them do the trans service @110k and only did that because they have the machine that hooks into and removes almost all the fluid in the trans and torque converter. And I could not find a better price on that much transmission WS fluid, so it made more sense for them to do that. Anyway glad to see the upload.
Toyota/Lexus are the only manufacturer I've seen where most of their engines have very few engineering flaws from day one - every now and then they have issues (e.g. water pumps often aren't great, and as per this video, valve seals - mostly fairly minor stuff though). My niece has a IS200 with the 1G-FE engine in it, which she inherited from my sister-in-law, who inherited it from my mother-in-law - so it's three generations now in the family since my mother-in-law bought it in 2008, and it's had a horrific life as none of them have cared for it at all (I've done 2 oil changes on it for them, both times because it was way overdue - but not sure how many others it has actually had - amazingly last time I looked at it, there was still very little evidence of sludging) It's gone from a near new, very low mileage car to a very high mileage, flaky paint dent bucket full of dog hair, McDonalds wrappers & used diapers, and it's been broken into and vandalized multiple times - but damn, that thing just keeps going despite hardly seeing an oil change.
Love the IS300. Fun to see this on the channel.
Well done. Inspiring job and philosophy.
You're so good at showing this stuff. The only question: what about the sign at the mechanic that says 3x the price "if you tried to fix it yourself"? 😉
You forgot to mention the VVTis are interference engines so timing belt changes are crucial
Actually, a little research will show you...
because its based off a non-interference engine, it itself is also non-interference.
@@804_Rider the GTE VVti is non interference, the 2JZGE non turbo VVTi IS interference. I've had both, a non - vvti 2JZGE in my 92 Supra and a vvti 2JZ in my IS300.
Loved this more than the crazy stuff. and you are so right on your views on happiness!! Thanks man
I like that, "Make a memory, do something fun"...
Gotta love the great pyrenees barking fit
I'd like to put a 2JZ in a 40s or 50s cruiser and take it to Power Tour or Sick week..oh yeah with turbo(s)! And I'd want you to "BULLET PROOF" the engine and do the build on your channel..,heck that would a great build for next season Powertour
Thanks for the Jared life lessons!!!!
YES JARED more 2j content 👏!!!!
Having been a car guy for over 30 years, I can say I've seen many 300,000 vehicles from just about every manufacturer. The secret is maintenance maintenance maintenance. I've also seen many dead ones. Most are do to extended oil change intervals. Including the 2jz they die just like all of them.
I enjoyed the "Philosophical Garage." I am also hoping that Jeep in the background is popping onto the channel soon.
Little word to the wise: if you need to do a head gasket job on a 3S, 5S, 1JZ or 2JZ, buy the toyo tool and DO THE VALVE STEM SEALS!!!! No worse feeling in the world than to cheap out on the tool and skip the seals only to get everything back together and oil start billowing from your exhaust. Found that out the hard way with my 93 Celica GT 5SFE.
This is why these engine or these cars makes the perfect tuner car. 300k miles stock and it looks like that. You can definitely build the engine up a bit slap on a turbo and it should run like stock. The potential they have is unbelievable.
Yes, make all the memories! They may not all be good but make them. Life is all about the experience. Do all the things!
When your dog barked my cat Thor almost crapped his pants! 🙀😆🇦🇺
Pyrrha!!!!! We missed you!!!
I use Schaeffers. We have always used it in our cars. Has never let us down. First few oil changes are always really dirty but i had a 200k mile k20 in my 09 si that i bought with 30k on it. Used Schaeffers on the first oil change. Always changed at 5k my engine looked like new when we took it out to build a k20/k24 Frankenstein. I was impressed to say the least.
Oh this is an interesting one! Hope mine looks a little cleaner, 83k miles, need to do the valve cover gaskets soon
He missed the valve adjustment, probably good measure at this mileage, a fair amount of mine were out of spec at 120k, also I recommend the aisin tbk along with cam and crank seals with this service
Hey Jarrod, I've watched your show now for a while and love it, with what you were saying about making memories, you sounded like this is a personal thing, as though someone in your life is going through a very bad medical patch with maybe a 50 50 outcome, I hope all is well and this is just a misinterpretation of how you sounded
Looks about like the 2jz-ge did that was in my sc300 when I did valve covers at around 285k miles..I was kind of in awe how clean it was. Dang making me miss that car/wish I didn't sell it now lol!
Good video as always
That looks like a new engine I think you are having us on 👍👍
2JZ Is a Very Strong PowerHouse Motor @The Questionable Garage
We always put a breaker bar from the crank bolt to the floor and bump the starter when I worked on these
One often overlooked thing on these engines is VVTi sprocket rebuild there's an o ring that gets hard and brittle over time.
That kind of maintenance repair is way out of my league
E53 bmw x5 with a 2j turbo, rwd, manual trans. Hell of a sleeper. Not as much of a sleeper as an 80s Volvo 240 wagon with a 1j but I helped a buddy do that already.
I agree with need of experiences. Me? Moved from Poland to USA, with barely any money, moving my entire household - Wife and two small kids. But after 1 year of owning Camaro ZL1 - I think it is enough :)
Really liked the life according to Jarrod bit brother nice 👍✌😎
So glad to see you catching up with Freddy again
