The weight of the 1KZ-TE engine according to the catalog is 280 kg. The engine number 1KZ-TE is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. It is one of the most reliable Japanese diesel engines, with almost no problems. It is important to keep an eye on the coolant as it tends to disappear somewhere. Even a slight overheating can cause the cylinder head to crack. The valve clearances need to be adjusted every 40,000 km. The timing belt lasts up to 100,000 km, and if it breaks, the valves will bend.
