The weight of the 1VZ-FE engine according to the catalog is 190 kg. The engine number 1VZ-FE is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. The most well-known problem is the cracking of the cylinder head due to gasket failure. The low reliability of the fan hydraulic drive often leads to overheating. There is also accelerated wear of the connecting rod bearings and main crankshaft journals. In addition, the parts for this engine are unreasonably expensive and not widely available. Other drawbacks include high fuel and oil consumption.
