Like for example, what kind of common sense things? Imho tearing apart a possibly perfectly good engine is not common sense.

The oil (full synthetic) and coolant (Toyota Red with distilled water and Redline water wetter). Imho, that should be your plan, unless you verify that it must be rebuilt.

Doesn't make sense imho. Why rebuild a perfectly good engine, especially one that can handle 850rwhp+?

Ok, by why assume the previous owner drove it badly? Maybe it was a doctor just that drove it on weekends, right?

Agreed...I doubt the doctor hardly ever got into boost...

Oh, so now you're going to check the turbos before you rebuild them? Good to hear. Maybe you can do the same with the engine, hmmmm? Perhaps start with compression & leakdown tests?

You're not serious, are you? For what? Oh, and I hope you're not planning to do this with plastigauge. The 2jz-gte's tolerances require a level of precision only available at extremely high-end machine shops. Don't forget this is a 1000hp-capable, 8k+rpm-capable, 3L engine. If you don't mind me asking, have you ever worked on an engine like that? If you want this engine to come out right, I'd strongly recommend that you arrange to have it worked on like you would a Ferrari engine. Seriously. Unless you're sitting on about half a million $+ worth of machine shop tools, I'd strongly recommend you let a professional engine builder do your 2jz-gte shortblock work...that is,
IF it actually needs to be rebuilt.

Do you have a profilometer? Perhaps a align-boring and align-honing machines?

Doubtful you'll find a wrecked Mkiv Supra TT with the entire driveline in good shape for only $6k. Good luck, though.
