  1. The timing belts are on the drivers side in my country, (and any Ex Japan ones that got imported 2nd hand), making it even tighter due to brake booster and other shit.

  2. I bought a absolutely mint, 45,000 mile, 99 Camry with one of these in it, as a work hack to save fuel and Kms being racked up on my IS-F, and ive grown to love the thing, its smooth as silk, quiet, you don't feel every ripple in the road, like you do in the IS-F and its been boringly reliable, the perfect everyday car.

  3. Because of its placement with minimal air getting to it, the power steering unit has its own cooler/heat exchanger in front of the radiator. Well, the Aussie assembled Camrys sold in my country do anyway. :-)

  4. Non interference. There is some confusion over this as some sites on the Net list this as an interference engine. this in incorrect, it is 100% NON interference, doesn't matter on the year, if its a 1MZ-FE its NON interference. Heres a guy proving it. https://youtu.be/0o-TXIWVHwg

  5. His brother on the other hand is not so keen. :-))

  6. Being boringly reliable is the exact reason i bought one as a 2nd car, also save gas and wear on my Lexus IS-F.

  10.  @speedkar99  I'm always on the lookout for one of the 4th gen XV20 special edition TRD supercharged, V6, 5 speed manuals called the Camry TS Supercharged, that was put together specially by Toyota NZ. Ive only seen 2 and both owners didn't want to sell. They are still, just a Camry, and don't make much HP compared to modern cars, but still would be cool to own and drive. :-))

  11. They are perfectly fine if you replace them at, or before the time recommended with, with Toyota ones. Plus its a non interference engine so if worst happens, you won't lunch your engine. Having said that, the 2UR-GSE in my IS-F has chains, and im glad it does. :-))

  12.  @matthewbowen5841  ALL 1MZ-FEs are non interference including the ones with VVT.
