2ZR life expectancy?

[myfirstyota]

450,000km on my 2zr, still ran daily duty when pulled. No clue how it was treated prior to when I got my hands on it at 350,000km. But judging by the mess of the donor car, I'd say it didn't have a perfect maintenance history. However I can say the last 100,000km it took a beating. WOT daily. Regular oil changes @ 5000km. I'd put it back in if there wasn't a hole in the intake manifold (no fault of the engine).

That is good to hear. When I read about them having an all aluminum block, I had flashbacks to the chevy vega engines. They were throw away engines after 40,000 miles or so.
