Toyota 2ZZ-GE Shortblock with liners and Wiseco forged pistons
This newly built 2ZZ-GE Shortblock with inserted liners is a reinforced base for performance-enhancing engine conversions. It provides a suitable foundation, especially for applications over 290 HP.
The original MMC cylinder bores can be damaged in case of piston or overheating failures. Our conversion replaces these bores with new steel liners. This allows a suitably prepared engine block to be restored and simultaneously prepared for higher loads.
The block is completely disassembled, cleaned, and machined. Then, the liners are inserted and bored and honed to the chosen size using a torque plate. The assembly is done with Wiseco forged pistons, new main and connecting rod bearings, a new oil pump, and ARP main stud bolts.

Important assembly note
The short block forms the basis for the further engine assembly and is not a complete, ready-to-install engine. The cylinder head and other components must be added according to the intended configuration.
The final assembly and commissioning must be carried out by a qualified engine specialist company. The actual compression ratio and load capacity depend on the entire engine assembly, tuning, and operating conditions.
