2009 Toyota Camry 300,000 miles

[KAA]

Hi All, Another fantastic video from our mate The Car Care Nut, this one shows how brilliant a 2AZFE Engine can look after 300,000 miles in a very well maintained original owner Camry, as you will see AMD goes into detail why he is doing a short block replacement and how fantastic the engine design from Toyota is.

Totally enjoyed this as I always do so hope you also enjoy

Haha Rob, I watched this this morning too, then came here and see this post 😄

You have to admit, it's not a bad effort for an engine that had one design flaw, that being the low tension rings. It managed to survive this long albeit burning a quart of oil per 150 miles.

The new short block was the only solution as it's the all new and improved version from the Toyota factory, the one they should've designed and sold originally, but nevertheless, this one should probably do an easy 500,000 miles I reckon.
If it wasn't for the oil burning issue of the original engine, I dare say it too would've done another 200,000 miles too. The bearings still looked great too.

Gotta love the older gen Toyotas. They were properly built to last.
