1986 TOYOTA CAMRY V20 timing belt

The cooling system is composed of the water jacket (inside the cylinder block and cylinder head), radiator,
water pump, thermostat, electric fan, hoses and other components.
Coolant which is heated in the water jacket is pumped to the radiator, through which an electric fan blows air
to cool the coolant as it passes through. Coolant which has been cooled is then sent back to the engine by
the water pump, where it cools the engine.
The water jacket is a network of channels in the shell of the cylinder block and cylinder head through which
coolant passes. It is designed to provide adequate cooling of the cylinders and combustion chambers which
become heated during engine operation.
RADIATOR
The radiator performs the function of cooling the coolant which has passed through the water jacket and be-
come hot, and it is mounted in the front of the vehicle. The radiator consists of an upper tank and lower tank,
and a core which connects the two tanks. The upper tank contains the inlet for coolant from the water jacket
and the filler inlet. It also has a hose attached through which excess coolant or steam can flow. The lower
tank has an outlet and drain cock for the coolant. The core contains many tubes through which coolant flows
from the upper tank to the lower tank as well as cooling fins which radiate heat away from the coolant in the
tubes.
The air sucked through the radiator by the electric fan, as well as the wind generated by the vehicle's travel,
passes through the radiator, cooling the coolant. Models with automatic transmission include an automatic
transmission fluid cooler built into the lower tank of the radiator. A fan with an electric motor is mounted be-
hind the radiator to assist the flow of air through the radiator. The fan operates when the coolant tempera-
ture becomes high in order to prevent it from becoming too high.
RADIATOR CAP
The radiator cap is a pressure type cap which seals the radiator, resulting in pressurization of the radiator as
the coolant expands. The pressurization prevents the coolant from boiling even when the coolant tempera-
ture exceeds 100°C (212°F). A relief valve (pressurization valve) and a vacuum valve (negative pressure
valve) are built into the radiator cap. The relief valve opens and lets steam escape through the overflow pipe
when the pressure generated inside the cooling system exceeds the limit (coolant temperature: 110 ±
120°C, 230 ± 248°F, pressure; 0.3 ±1.0 kg/cm
2, 4.3 ±14.2 psi, 29.4 ± 98.1 kPa). The vacuum valve opens to
alleviate the vacuum which develops in the coolant system after the engine is stopped and the coolant tem-
perature drops.
The valves's opening allows the coolant in the reservoir tank to return to the cooling system.
RESERVOIR TANK
The reservoir tank is used to catch coolant which overflows the cooling system as a result of volumetric ex-
pansion when the coolant is heated. The coolant in the reservoir rank returns to the radiator when the cool-
ant temperature drops, thus keeping the radiator full at all times and avoiding needless coolant loss. Check
the reservoir tank level to find out if the coolant needs to be replenished.
WATER PUMP
The water pump is used for forced circulation of coolant through the cooling system. It is mounted on the
front of the cylinder block and driven by a timing belt.
THERMOSTAT
The thermostat has a wax type by±pass valve and is mounted in the water inlet housing. The thermostat in-
cludes a type of automatic valve operated by fluctuations in the coolant temperature. This valve closes when
the coolant temperature drops, preventing the circulation of coolant through the engine and thus permitting
the engine to warm up rapidly. The valve opens when the coolant temperature has risen, allowing the cir-
culation of coolant. Wax inside the thermostat expands when heated and contracts when cooled. Heating
the wax thus generates pressure which overpowers the force of the spring which keeps±the valve closed,
thus opening the valve. When the wax cools, its contraction causes the force of the spring to take effect
once more, closing the valve. The thermostat in this engine operates at a temperature of 82°C (180°F).

The 3S±FE engine is an in±line 4±cylinder engine with the cylinders numbered 1 ± 2 ± 3 ± 4 from the
front.
The crankshaft is supported by 5 bearing inside the crankcase. These bearing are made of aluminum
alloy.
The crankshaft is integrated with 8 weights for balance. Oil holes are placed in the center of the crank-
shaft to supply oil to the connecting rods, bearing, pistons and other components.
This engine's ignition order is 1 ± 3 ± 4 ± 2. The cylinder head is made of aluminum alloy, with a cross
flow type intake and exhaust layout and with pent±roof type combustion chambers. The spark plugs are
located in the center of the combustion chamber.
The intake manifold has 8 independent long ports and utilizes the inertial supercharging effect to im-
prove engine torque at low and medium speeds.
Exhaust and intake valves are equipped with irregular pitch springs made of special valve spring carbon
steel which are capable of functioning no matter what the engine speed.
The intake side camshaft is driven by a timing belt, and a gear on the intake side camshaft engages with
a gear on the exhaust side camshaft to drive it. The cam journal is supported at 5 places between the
valve lifters of each cylinder and on the front end of the cylinder head. Lubrication of the cam journal and
gear is accomplished by oil being supplied through the oiler port in the center of the camshaft.
Adjustment of the valve clearance is done by means of outer shim type system, in which valve adjusting
shims are located above the valve lifters. This permits replacement of the shims without removal of the
camshafts.
The resin timing belt cover is made of 2 pieces. A service hole is provided in the No. 1 belt cover for ad-
justing the timing belt tension.
Piston are made of high temperature±resistant aluminum alloy, and a depression is built into the piston
head to prevent interference with the valves.
Piston pins are the semi±floating type, with the pins fastened to the connecting rods by pressure fitting,
allowing the pistons and pins to float.
The No. 1 compression ring is made of steel and the No. 2 compression ring is made of cast iron. The oil
ring is made of a combination of steel and stainless steel. The outer diameter of each piston ring is
slightly larger than the diameter of the piston and the flexibility of the rings allows them to hug the cylin-
der walls when they are mounted on the piston rings No. 1 and No. 2 work to prevent gas leakage from
the cylinder and oil ring works to clear oil off the cylinder walls to prevent it from entering the combustion
chambers.
The cylinder block is made of cast iron. It has 4 cylinders which are approximately 2 times the length of
the piston stroke. The top of the cylinders is closed off by the cylinder head and the lower end of the cyl-
inders becomes the crankcase, in which the crankshaft is installed. In .addition, the cylinder block con-
tains a water jacket, through which coolant is pumped to cool the cylinders.
The oil pan is bolted onto the bottom of the cylinder block. The oil pan is an oil reservoir made of
pressed steel shoot. A dividing plate is included inside the oil pan to keep sufficient oil in the bottom of
the pan even when the vehicle is tilted. This dividing plate also prevents the oil from making waves when
the vehicle is topped suddenly and thus shifting the oil away from the oil pump suction pipe.

the RH and LH cylinder heads.
Exhaust and intake valves are equipped with irregular pitch springs made of special valve spring carbon steel which
are capable of functioning no matter what the engine speed.
The RH and LH intake camshaft are driven by a single timing belt, and a gear on the intake side camshaft engages
with a gear on the exhaust side camshaft to drive it. The cam journal is supported at 5 (intake) or 4
(exhaust) places between the valve liters of each cylinder and on the front end of the cylinder head. Lubrication of
the cam journals and gears is accomplished by oil being supplied through the oiler port in the center of the camshaft.
