Factory short block, for the mr2 that has the carrier bearing drill in place. no drilling of a celica block required. 2004 upgraded piston rings. I see MWR is asking 2700$ gauging interest at 2100$. Reading on this forum these dont rebuild well. This is factory new. 0 miles.

Just a block or short block? Cause I have a 2zz block just laying about
I'm just curious what you mean by, these engines don't rebuild well?

I’ve read the same - 1zz rebuilds don’t last very long. Rebuilders can’t hold the same tolerances(?)

I think a huge issue is the rebuilds that don't fix the actual oiling issue. Would love if one of the mechanical wizards could chime in to confirm or deny this.

I second the tolerances. The ring issue was addressed 2003 and later. I am sure alot of builders will say thats not a problem with my builds, I worked in an automotive machine shop for several years and they may be right, there are alot of highly skilled builders out there but I didnt want to risk sinking 1800$ into a rebuild when i could buy a factory new with 0 miles for a few hundred more. Reason for selling, my SMT gave me fits so i gave up on the whole project. I could not do the standard conversion because i needed an auto due to the amount of time i sit in start and stop traffic. My clutch leg would fall off. I still have the block on the pallet.
