    Absolutely buy one!!! I bought a 1994 Toyota Corolla brand new and owned it for 23 years with this motor. I put 389k miles on it before I donated the car to the Salvation Army vehicle donation program. It still was running fine and drivable when I donated it. I got rid of it because by that time it was just a 3rd car and it was rusted badly as I live in the northeast (outside Philly). Those engines are as reliable as the day is long.

    Informative video, thanks. I have an 04 Toyota Matrix I've had it for 3 years and it has 158,000 Mi on it. I change the oil every 5,000 miles with full synthetic. The oil doesn't even get dirty between oil changes. Doesn't burn so much as a drop. 20-year-old car with almost $160,000 MI. The car has no shakes or rattles or vibrations truly runs like a new car. That's all I got to know bro

My friend owned a body shop, and the car was 22 years old and he knew I wanted to keep it. He told me to let it go...let it go, so off to the junk yard it went. Wipes tear from my eye.

  • @rick3784
    @rick3784 Před 4 měsíci

    Is there a big difference between the Japanese and American made 1.8? I have an 03 Japanese Corolla with a 04 American made engine. It runs super rich but the computer trims the fuel (-40 long term) and it runs great other than a slight rough idle, 35-40 hwy mpg. Changed plugs, O2 sensors, MAF sensor, and fuel pressure regulator, and checked for vacuum leaks, all to no avail. So I took it to a mechanic who was at a loss because of the engine swap done before I bought it.

    My son recently hit a deer with my 2005 corolla. It got 38mph at 75 mph and didn’t burn a drop of oil. The car is totaled but I’m keeping it to put the engine / transmission in a donor car. What is your opinion of either a Vibe/matrix to put the engine in?

    • @GrumpyMonkeyGarage
      @GrumpyMonkeyGarage  Před 6 měsíci +3

      Matrix and vibe are fantastic cars, I do think the exhaust is different so make sure it has the old exhaust on the matrix when you swap it. I don't usually swap platforms but I do know when you price a long block they're the same.

    I have a 2013 corolla 1.8 with 143k miles.. The dealer said it is leaking from the timing chain tensioner. It looks like this is a common problem with the 1.8L since there are so many videos on youtube about it. It is losing about 1 qt every 5 k miles. Is it worth trying to fix it? Or are trying to fix oil leaks on older cars like playing wack a mole?

Drove the 09 for 11 years until this drunk butthead decided not to stop for a red light at an intersection. T-Boned me on the passenger side and only God’s grace I was by alone at the time. She was totaled and had almost 300,000 miles on the clock. She was easy to maintain and only replaced the water pump, alternator, struts, and regular maintenance and that’s it!

    The 1zz fe is complete junk in my opinion! From the late 90’s to 2005! They will use a quart of oil every 300 miles after you get 50,000 (if you get) you obviously never owned one! The timing chains always have trouble, the vvt system is junk which started in 2000 by the way. Your lying about your gas mileage too! Do some research on the 2000-2005 1.8 disaster!
