Toyota Crown 1JZ-GTE VVTI – Cambelt, Seals & Diff Work

We recently had this stunning Toyota Crown in the workshop, powered by the legendary 1JZ-GTE VVTI engine, for some essential maintenance and repair work.

Our team carried out the following jobs:

• Cambelt replacement – we replaced the cambelt, idler and tensioner.
• Crankshaft and camshaft seal replacement – these were leaking due to old age.
• Cam cover seals – a common issue on the JZ engines these days due to old age.
• Alternator replacement – the original alternator stopped charging.
• Replacement used differential fitted – the old diff was worn, so we sourced and fitted a good used unit to restore proper drivetrain function.

It’s always a pleasure working on these iconic Japanese luxury-sport saloons, and this one is now ready to hit the road again in great shape.

If your Toyota Crown or any other JDM classic needs attention, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at Garage Whifbitz.
