The Toyota 2AZ-FE is a 2.4 l (2,362 cc, 144.14 cubic inches) straight-four 4-stroke naturally aspirated gasoline engine from Toyota AZ-family. This engine was manufactured by Toyota Motor Company from 2000 on Kamigo Plant, Shimoyama Plant and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky, Inc. The Toyota 2AZ-FE features a lightweight aluminum block with thin cast-iron cylinder liners and 16-valve DOHC aluminum head with four valves per cylinder (two intakes and two exhaust). The engine is equipped with ETCS-i (Electronic Throttle Control System-intelligent), VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) on the intake camshaft, Sequential MPFI fuel injection system, DIS (Direct Ignition System) with one ignition coil for each spark plug. The 2AZ-FE engine is also equipped with “Electronic Spark Advance” (ESA) system, which selected optimal ignition timing in accordance with inputs from sensors. Cylinder bore and piston stroke are 88.5 mm (3.48 in) and 96.0 mm (3.78 in). Compression ratio rating is 9.6:1, later version has 9.8:1.

CYLINDER BLOCK

The 2AZ-FE has an open-deck lightweight aluminum alloy cylinder block with cast-iron liners and a die-cast aluminum crankcase. The liner is thin so that boring is not possible. The forged steel crankshaft has eight counterweights and supported by five main bearings. The crankshaft is made of forged steel and balance shaft drive gear is installed onto the crankshaft. The Toyota 2AZ-FE is equipped with two balance shafts.

The piston is made of aluminum alloy and skirt area is made compact and lightweight. The connecting rods and caps are made of high strength steel for weight reduction. Nutless-type plastic region tightening bolts of the connecting rod are used. The engine used pistons with two compression and single oil ring. The cylinder bore is 88.5 mm (3.48 in and the piston stroke is 96.0 mm (3.78 in). Compression ratio rating is 9.6:1 or 9.8:1.

CYLINDER HEAD

The cylinder head is made of strong, light aluminum alloy which gives it good cooling efficiency. Each camshaft is supported by five bearings. The dual overhead camshafts are driven by a roller chain. The timing chain is lubricated by an oil jet. Each cylinder is equipped with 2 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves. Valve diameters are 34.0 mm (1.3 in) for intake and 29.5 mm (1.2 in) for exhaust. The shimless type valve lifter is used.

The engine is equipped with lightweight magnesium alloy diecast cylinder head cover. The cylinder head cover gasket and the spark plug gasket is integrated to reduce the number of parts. A steel-laminate type cylinder head gasket is used.

For the pre-2006 2AZ-FE engine, intake duration was 236 degrees and exhaust duration was 228 degrees. For the upgraded version of the 2AZ-FE engine that was introduced in after 2006, intake duration was 248 degrees and exhaust duration was 228 degrees.

The 2AZ-FE engine used electronically controlled sequential fuel injection system with 12-hole injector nozzles that are mounted in the inlet ports.

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

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

Intake:
N = R + [M – 0.24 mm (0.009 in)]
Exhaust:
N = R + [M – 0.35 mm (0.014 in)]

Valve lifters are available in 35 sizes to range from 5.06 mm (0.1992 in) to 5.74 mm (0.2260 in), in steps of 0.02 mm (0.0008 in).

Example (intake valve):
R = 5.12 mm
M = 0.45 mm
N = 5.12 + (0.45 – 0.35) = 5.22 mm, so we need a valve lifter 5.22 mm (0.2055 in).
