Here's a Toyota 4A-GE Engine Being Fully Assembled in Two Minutes

From Road & Track

One of the most satisfying aspects of working on a car is successfully taking on a challenge yourself. Yes, it would be easier (and way faster) to pay someone else to do it for you, but the pride that comes from knowing you did something with your own two hands is hard to beat.

Redditor mr2mk1hero recently uploaded a video of the 4A-GE he built for his 1987 Toyota MR2. And while the video is pretty cool to watch, it's even better because he's an amateur, not a professional.

Final assembly reportedly took about a week. But according to his post, he spent two years collecting parts and learning the skills he needed to build the engine. He even claims he ported the heads himself.

In the end, he says "it got me addicted to cars, engines [and] mechanics." Now that's the kind of ending we like.
