Why Toyota Engines are Reliable

  • In this video we will be tearing down the Toyota 2AR-FE engine to see what's inside and how it works! We'll also aim to appreciate its simplicity and what makes it modern, efficient and reliable that Toyota has been using it for a decade in many of its mainstream vehicles.
    The 2AR-FE is a 2.5L 4 cylinder engine that debuted in the Toyota RAV4 in 2008. It was used in Toyota's highest selling Camry and RAV4 vehicles as well as the Scion tC. The all aluminum engine features dual variable valve timing, with a timing chain, variable intake runners and a balance shaft, among other upgrades from its 2AZ-FE 2.4L predecessor.
    The unlike its predecessor, the 2AR-FE has been tested for many years and miles and did not have major issues, making it one of Toyota's more reliable choices when searching for a used vehicle.

      They use different kind of plastic polymers on engine parts, generally able to withstand engine heat and repeated heat cycle without any deformation. On the otherside, ABS plastic is known to "evaporate" it's binding polymer if you keep it under direct sunlight and thus turned into dust-like appearances.
      Generally ABS is more forgiving to be painted rather than thermoplastics used inside engine compartment.

    • @rondhole
      @rondhole Před 3 lety +18

      The newer Camry has better plastics on the handle. The pre-2002 are notorious for becoming brittle. My Prius 2006, Sienna 2004, and Corolla 2016 has no issue on the plastics. Probably they find out how to make it better. In all newer Toyota engines, they have spacer from thermoplastic plastic or rubber inside the water jacket, that's why it reaches almost 40% thermal efficiency, the highest in the world.

    Still got my 1991 3S-GTE turbo engine, just finished a rebuild and was very happy to see there was very minimal wear, mine was starting to use oil alot, turned out to be all valve oil seals were cracked and 8 oil return holes on oil control rings on all 4 pistons were full up of waxy stuff, the control rings were also solid and didn't really move, thank god for the oil squirters! ended up stripping down, washing entire engine with chemicals to remove the waxy stuff from holes gallerys etc, new piston ring set, light hone out, new main bearings as 1 had worn slightly through coating, 2 new thrust washers, new big end bearings, I polished the crank and cam bearings, used plastigauge to size replacement bearings, stuck whole lot back together with new seals and gaskets, its literally going back in the MR2 this week, hopefully will last another 30 years, legendary engines, now got a 3S-GE to put in a Caterham so that's up next for clean & rebuild if needed.

      the 2 middle pistons get hotter than the 2 outer, being as they are central in the stack and don't benefit from having the extra cooling the outer pistons do. extra oil to help cool them down is a no brainer.
