To be honest .
The 2007-9 camry i4 with the 2az-fe is not as reliable and rugged as people make it look.

I can count the amount of people I know who have replaced either the engine or transmission of this car.
the engine is a hot demand in the market and it is even slightly expensive than its successor the 2ar-fe simply because of the demand for the 2az.

Because it's a toyota even if people change the whole part in the car they won't complain.
If a person complains a bad transmission in a Ford you all will complain of how bad it is. Whereas most other brands are reliable and solid .


Let me give you an assumption.
There are 20 Nigerians .
10 of them are given 2008 camry with 100k Miles.
While the other 10 are given the 2008 Honda Accord 100k Miles..
In a period of 5 years.

The camry's would have gone through engine and transmission replacement than the Honda.

Even Gazzuzz will admit that the Honda K24 is more solid than the noisy 2az.

Toyota engines are good especially the V6. 2gr, 3mz e.t.c
Their 4cylinders haven't been rock solid. Especially the ones produced in the usa.

@Alajiki. I have read through almost all the comments here, and here's what I'd have to say:

1. You said the engine was replaced with a new one(used), and you noticed it wasn't running smoothly.

In my view, what do you mean by smoothly? Do you mean the engine sound was like a BUUUUUUU, noise, or it was rattling, and/or vibrating? You've got to ask your mechanic to try and identity what sort of "not smooth" noise you're talking.

There are awhile lot of noises that could emanate from an engine. The onus lies with your mechanic to be able to identify what sort of noise.

If its a rattling, or clunking kind of noise coming from the valve train location, I'd be suspecting the valve train components must have undergone tremendous wear and tear, due to poor maintenance, and usage, from the country of origin.

It would be behoove you to note that there are several locations where engines are reconditioned in Ladipo. They replace engine critical parts with substandard, and pressure wash the engine. You, as a buyer, won't know. That's y its important you go with a professional, to check out the engines you want.

HERE'S THE KILL!
***¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶If you drove that car after engine installation, and noticed that it wasn't smooth, the only problem I think would suffice from the misalignment of the 2Nos gears located in the sump. If those two gears are out of timing with the engine, when you start up the engine, and even drive it, you'd feel a terrible kind if vibration, and loss of power.

In some applications, the noise would be so EXPONENTIAL when you revved the engine. It would sound as if there a huge exhaust leak on the tailpipe.

****Get the mechanic asses the engine, and find out if it has being rebuilt before it was sold to you guys. That way, my explanations above would count.¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶

From the photos you posted here about whether it was a 2Az/1Az engine, I would believe its a 2Az engine, if the inscriptions on the block hasn't being tempered with.

So in summary, your mechanic holds the key to giving us a feedback into all the ?ss surrounding that engine.

1.He should check and see if the engine is a refurbished one, and,
2. If the 2Az inscription has being tempered with. If there isn't any tempering, the problem with the engine could be from what I have enumerated above
3.He should determine what you meant by "not running smoothly".


Hope this helps you sort out that car!

emmaak2:


u mean after valve grinding the engine will b louder than before because am about to grind my valve all 4

timifakay:
@op, this happens all the time, even the mechanic may not know it isn't 2AZ.


You should have a minimum of 8 valves on a 4 cylinder engine- 2 valves per cylinder.

costy2nice:
My Camry 2az engine is shortening oil seriously without obvious smoke except when raised high...a mechanical suggested a change of rings and grinding of the valve in the process. Am afraid the engine may not work well after the work pls advice.
