I removed a complete engine/transaxle assembly from a junkyard Prius. It appears the car was broken into and the hybrid battery was stolen....
I did look at LKQ but those are about the same as complete rebuilds from ebay.
I have a Gen 3 Prius I'm trying to get running again. It needs a new engine block at minimum, and I'm thinking of a junkyard engine to replace the...
I'm having trouble finding a Gen 3 motor without spending 1000 on eBay. Local pick n pulls really have no gen 3 cars. Any other cars used the same...
You could maybe get an engine from a local self service junkyard. Look for a car with significant collision damage. The engines run about 260.00...
It's not mine but I've been told that never happened. The failure was apparently quite sudden and it sounded like things were bouncing between the...
I used RTV Ultra Black on the water pump flange. The existing pump was reused. I might have put antiseize on the bolts but not sure on that.
I see where the confusion is. I did re-use one set of bolts on the advice of the Felpro tack people. The coolant accumulation was prior to my work...
This is the front of the block looking down between dipstick and water pump. Dipstick is yellow out of focus near top.
The bolts last used were new from Felpro...installed and torqued only once. The engine block failed in the lower area near cylinder 1, between the...
There were no DTCs and it seemed to run normally. But, it did have pronounced polishing on opposite sides of the number 1 cylinder wall. I would...

I don't think I damaged the heater hoses or heater core but if this turns out to be coolant, I will check more in that neighborhood. I have a...
I recently replaced the head gasket on a 3rd gen Prius. Water has leaked below the dash inside the car. I'm guessing this means I should have put...
I'm not planning any more compression tests. I feel very confident that whatever compression issue remains is lower end, not cylinder head, based...
Got the Prius back together and drove it a day or two. No warning lights, no funny noises, no smoke, no obvious leaks. My friend drove it and got...
Interesting Gen 4 swap idea. Is that pretty much a direct swap or do I need to worry about a bunch of ECU stuff and new sensor connections?
As of today, the Prius lives. It fired right up, having a little timing chain slap or something but then quieted fairly quickly. But, it has codes...
I was able to find a Google image of the knock sensor and connect the wires again.
Thanks for the ideas. It did turn out to be the knock sensor and I found one Google image that showed the black and white wire so I soldered them...
