Engine Overview and Common Failures

The engine weight of 4VZ-FE according to the catalog is 195 kg. The engine number 4VZ-FE is located at the junction of the block and the cylinder head. As a result of gasket failure and subsequent overheating, the cylinder head often cracked. The unreliable fan hydraulic drive was often to blame for the overheating. Accelerated wear of the main crankshaft journals and connecting rod bearings is also common. It is not easy to find the necessary spare parts for repair, and they are expensive. Fuel consumption is quite high here, and usually oil consumption starts after 100,000 km.
