WATCH: Toyota GR Corolla Engine Damage Will Shock Even The Most Seasoned Mechanic



Removing the oil pan, metal shards parts can be found, with some fragments of the casting, oil pump, and connecting rod all that’s left of the once boisterous motor. Another update gives us a glimpse of the mechanical maladies, with Simez Garage noting that the “valves are bent and wedged into the head.” Suffice it to say; this engine is now nothing more than an expensive paperweight.

As for the cause, Toyota is reportedly hesitant to divulge that information, but we’re guessing a flamboyant (and misjudged) missed shift is the reason behind this destroyed engine. Luckily for the owner, the automaker is replacing the 1.6-liter powerplant under warranty. The technician adds that Toyota has delivered the replacement parts, which cost more than a brand-new, regular Corolla.

“Toyota has released all the parts, my parts list is at $32,000 so far,” he added.
