Is the 1JZGTE a good engine?

[Legionnaire]

in the title i simply asked for the 1JZGTE's reliability, i have no problem putting two grand in the engine, if its a sound investment, and my car will run great...........



but thanks for the advice, i leave for spring break this afternoon, so i'll have to put my car worries on hold for a few days......


sunday im getting a mechanic to come over and look at it,so i know what has to be done...........I think i'll just try and find the parts myself, because these mechanics try to charge double what the parts are worth.
