Mazilla has posted that when he bought the car, the previous owner had already done an engine swap. I don't remember if he posted what the exact mileage was when the previous owner swapped the engine, but I want to say somewhere in the 100k s....so still a very impressive run for the second engine!

That's about right, they estimated it to be in the 150K ballpark.


Fun fact, it's headed back to the mechanic that did the swap and maintained the car since new....it was a 120ish mile pull each way(san diego to glendale) but the price is right(300.00) and the guy knows the car like the back of his hand. It was a no brainer.


If anybody needs his number I can shoot it your way...their not the mechanics you'd use to rebuild a transmission or install a turbo, but if you need any major routine type work done to your Yaris the only way to get it done cheaper is to DIY. Their in Glendale, Verdugo offramp 2 fwy.

They quoted me 30.00 to install a header for crying out loud,I paid 25.00 to swap my radiator...if I lived closer I probably wouldn't lay a finger on this car for maintenance again.
