Part 1 of a new series: COMPLETE engine & transmission rebuild/refresh on the 2JZ-GE engine and A650E transmission! We’ll be replacing the head gasket, ALL timing belt components, oil pump, ALL seals like the rear main, front crank - basically refreshing the engine to give it a second breath of life.

Also great for those of you who are going NA-T/ supercharged and building your motor internals/transmission as I will be completely disassembling the drivetrain!

In today's video I will be showing you step by step how to remove the cylinder head on the inline-6 2JZ-GE engine. Every bolt, every nut, how to set the timing - I’ll cover every step of the way.

In this video I'll be working on a 2004 Lexus GS 300, but it should work for most Toyota/Lexus models with the 2JZ-GE engine, with of course a few changes depending on the chassis.
