1JZ needs rebuild????

2day i pulled all the plugs on my toyota and noticed when removing the plug for cylinder 2 (2nd from the back) it had a coat of engine oil on it So it seems things just keep getting better.

I am going to do a compression test to check all cylinders properly but at this stage looks like i'm up for a rebuild.

I am leaning towards waiting till i can afford a set of forged pistons and rods etc.... does anyone think i should bother or just replace the rings as long as the rest of the internals are fine.

I just got told that it could be a valve stem seal. IS there anyway to tell which it is without pulling the head off?

Thanks guys

Jamie

yep, on the right track, do a compression test, and if only one is down, could be the rings. if a couple of cylinders adjacent to each other are down, id be suggesting a head gasket.check for bubbles in your coolant, and/or water in your oil. A valve stem seal cant really cause low compression, but if the valve isnt seating right, that will. if there is a lot of oil on the plug, good chances are it is the rings. check for bubbles in your coolant, and/or water in your oil

thanks crazyman .....

btw i meant 2nd cylinder back from the front of the engine bay. Also the engine oil was unburnt when i pulled the plug. The car had been not run for a week.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
