    Hi all,

    I've got issues with consistent rough start on my 2012 prius V. I'm sure the gasket is toast. I see the coolant levels going down. I cleaned all the egrs, etc.. etc. Still rough start. It has 225,000 miles so I think it's about time I just get a new engine and not monkey around with just replacing the gasket.

    Would this engine work?

    I don't under stand the JDM 2ZR-Y20 2ZR. What does the Y20 mean? I think 2Zr means it's just he 2ZR engine, but the Y20. I googled and I get no results.

    Thanks,
