NOTICE
Never attempt to machine the cylinder because it has a thin liner thickness.

4. Cylinder Block
Lightweight aluminum alloy is used for the cylinder block.
By producing the thin cast-iron liners and cylinder block as a unit, compaction is realized.
Air passage holes are provided in the crankshaft bearing area of the cylinder block. As a result, the air at
the bottom of the cylinder flows smoother, and pumping loss (back pressure at the bottom of the piston
generated by the piston’s reciprocal movement) is reduced to improve the engine’s output.
The oil filter and the air conditioning compressor brackets are integrated into the crankcase. Also, the
water pump swirl chamber and thermostat housing are integrated into the cylinder block.

SERPENTINE BELT DRIVE SYSTEM
1. General
Accessory components are driven by a serpentine belt consisting of a single V-ribbed belt. It reduces the
overall engine length, weight and the number of engine parts.
An automatic tensioner eliminates the need for tension adjustment.
2. Automatic Tensioner
The automatic tensioner consists of an idler pulley and a tensioner. The idler pulley maintains belt tension
by the force of the spring that is located in the tensioner.

Service Tip
Valve clearance adjustment is not necessary because a hydraulic lash adjuster is used in this model.
EG-83
4. Timing Chain Cover
The timing chain cover has an integrated construction consisting of the cooling system (water pump and
water passage) and the lubrication system (oil pump and oil passage). Thus, the number of parts has been
reduced to reduce weight.
5. Hydraulic Lash Adjuster
The hydraulic lash adjuster, which is located at the fulcrum of the roller rocker arm, consists primarily of
a plunger, plunger spring, check ball, and check ball spring.
The engine oil that is supplied by the cylinder head and the built-in spring actuates the hydraulic lash
adjuster. The oil pressure and the spring force that act on the plunger push the roller rocker arm against
the cam, in order to adjust the valve clearance that is created during the opening and closing of the valve.
As a result, engine noise is reduced.

Engine Coolant Specifications
Engine
Ty p e
TOYOTA genuine Super Long Life Coolant
(SLLC) or similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite and
non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid
organic acid technology (coolant with
long-life hybrid organic acid technology is a
combination of low phosphates and organic
acids.) Do not use plain water alone.

Maintenance IntervalsFirst Time100,000 miles (160,000 km)Maintenance IntervalsSubsequentEvery 50,000 miles (80,000 km)
SLLC is pre-mixed (the U.S.A. models: 50 % coolant and 50 % deionized water, the Canada. models: 55
% coolant and 45 % deionized water), so no dilution is needed when SLLC in the vehicle is added or
replaced.
If LLC is mixed with SLLC, the interval for LLC (every 25,000 miles (USA), 32,000 km (CANADA) or
24 months whichever comes first) should be used.
2. Water Pump
The water pump has two volute chambers, and circulates coolant uniformly to the left and right banks of the
cylinder block.

STARTING SYSTEM
The 2GR-FE engine uses the same starter as the 2AZ-FE engine. For details, see page EG-27.
SERPENTINE BELT DRIVE SYSTEM
1. General
Accessory components are driven by a serpentine belt consisting of a single V-ribbed belt. It reduces the
overall engine length, weight and the number of engine parts.
An automatic tensioner eliminates the need for tension adjustment.
2. Automatic Tensioner
The tension of the V-ribbed belt is properly maintained by the tension spring that is enclosed in the automatic
tensioner.
