Toyota 1MZ-FE Engine Specifications

The Toyota 1MZ-FE is a 3.00 l (2,994 cc, 182.7 cubic inches) V6, four-stroke cycle water-cooled naturally aspirated internal combustion gasoline engine, manufactured by the Toyota Motor Corporation since 1997 to 2007. The engine was producted on Kamigo Plant and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky. The Toyota 1MZ-FE engine was honored by Ward’s 10 Best Engines list in 1996. The engine has 6 cylinders in a V arrangement at a bank angle of 60° The 1MZ-FE features a lightweight aluminum block with a four-bearings crankshaft and two aluminum heads with two camshafts (DOHC) and four valves per cylinder (24 in total). The Toyota 1MZ-FE engine is equipped with SFI (Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection) system and Electronic Spark Advance (ESA) ignition system with individual coils on each spark plug. The latest engine versions (after 1998) were equipped with a VVTi (Variable Valve Timing) system for the intake camshafts. Bore and stroke are 87.5 mm (3.44 in) and 83 mm (3.27 in), respectively. Compression ratio rating is 10.5:1. The Toyota 1MZ-FE engine produced from 186 PS (137 KW; 184 HP) at 5,300 rpm to 220 PS (162 KW; 217 HP) at 5,800 rpm of maximum power and from 267 Nm (27.2 kgm; 197.0 ft-lb) at 4,000 rpm to 304 Nm (31.0 kgm; 224.3 ft-lb) at 4,400 rpm of torque depending on year and vehicle model.

CYLINDER BLOCK

The 1MZ–FE engine has an aluminum cylinder block in a V arrangement at a bank angle of 60°. From the front of the RH bank cylinders are numbered 1–3–5, and from the front of the LH bank cylinders are numbered 2–4–6. This engine’s firing order is 1–2–3–4–5–6. The engine has press-fitted cast-iron cylinder liners. The cylinder block contains a water jacket, through which coolant is pumped to cool the cylinders.

The crankshaft is supported by 4 bearings inside the crankcase. These bearings are made of copper and lead alloy. The crankshaft is integrated with 9 semi counterweights for balance. Oil holes are placed in the center of the crankshaft for supply oil to the connecting rods, bearings, pistons and other components.

Pistons are made of high temperature-resistant aluminum alloy. Piston pins are the full-floating type, with the pins fastened to either the piston boss nor the connecting rods. Instead, snap rings are fitted on both ends of the piston pins, preventing the pins from falling out.

The Toyota 1MZ–FE motor has two compressions and one oil control rings. The first compression ring is made of steel and the second compression ring is made of cast iron. The oil ring also 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 cylinder walls when they are mounted on the piston.

The cylinder bore is 87.5 mm (3.44 in), piston stroke is 83 mm (3.27 in) mm and compression ratio rating is 10.5:1.

CYLINDER HEAD

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 chambers.

The exhaust camshafts are driven by a single timing belt, and a gear on the exhaust camshaft engages with a gear on the intake camshaft to drive it. The camshaft 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 journals and gears is accomplished by oil being supplied through the oiler port in the center of the camshaft.

Exhaust and intake valves are equipped with irregular pitch springs made of special valve spring carbon steel which are capable of following the cam profile at all engine speeds. The intake valve diameter is 34.0 mm (1.33 in) and the exhaust valve diameter is 27.3 mm (1.07 in).

Adjustment of the valve clearance is done by means of an 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.

Valve clearance adjustment data
Calculate the thickness of new adjusting valve shim so valve clearance comes within specified values.

R = Thickness of removed valve shim
N = Thickness of new valve shim
M = Measured valve clearance

Intake:
N = R + [M – 0.20 mm (0.008 in)]
Exhaust:
N = R + [M – 0.30 mm (0.012 in)]

Valve shims are available in 17 sizes range from 2.50 mm (0.0984 in) to 3.30 mm (0.1299 in), in steps of 0.05 mm (0.0020 in).

Example (exhaust valve):
R = 2.70 mm
M = 0.52 mm
N = 2.70 + (0.45 – 0.30) = 2.85 mm.
