Good morning My people, to the Top Engineers in the House I have a question ❓

I want to change my Car Engine, TOYOTA HIGHLANDER 06 HYBRID.
The car uses 3MZ engine.

When I contacted a seller in Lagos on phone, he told me the 3MZ half and Top engine costs more than the other 3MZ used by other Highlanders.

I tried to tell him it's same, he said that Hybrid uses a different 3MZ. He is confusing me here. Abi he is trying to rip me off?

Please I need profs here to help me clear this.

Please MOD marpol, help me move this to front page before they Rip me off. I really need assistance urgently

From what I gathered, they are similar but hybrid has another electric power attached to the 3mz

Also the 3mz in the hybrids have reduced power meaning something is different between it and regular non hybrid vehicles using 3mz

Just curious, what happened to the original engine ?

Na same thing
The only difference is hanger for alternator and kick starter mounted on normal engine

They are not the same,
The hybrid uses an Atkinson cycle platform, block might be the same but the top cylinder is different. Instead of trying to use unconfirmed sense to buy engine, why not by the direct engine hybrid 3mz engine, loosened from the transmission

So you only chose to reply to the comment that said exactly what you want to hear abi? Ok na... Best of luck

What makes you think you won't knock the next engine, or how do you know the engine has knocked?
