Do not guess when it comes to engine fasteners. Use a high-quality, properly calibrated torque wrench for all critical engine components.
If you remove VVT-i gear, do not disassemble it — replace as a unit.

If you see a 1.3-liter Yaris with a 2NZ-FE engine, note the differences. The 2NZ-FE has a shorter stroke (73.5 mm) and was largely built in Japan, while the 2SZ-FE (79.6 mm stroke) was largely built in France and China. In the 2SZ-FE, the intake manifold faces the passenger cabin, and the exhaust faces the front, a reverse layout from the 2NZ-FE.
The Toyota 2SZ-FE engine is a legendary compact powerplant known for its efficiency and bulletproof reliability. Found in millions of Toyota Yaris (Vitz) models worldwide, this 1.3-liter engine bridges the gap between commuter fuel economy and robust mechanical engineering.
