Core plugs can also sometimes prevent freeze damage to the motor. During the early stages of the freezing of the engine coolant a freeze plug will sometimes burst or pop out, and thus allow the coolant to exit the engine, before it might expand within the engine during the freezing process and potentially crack the engine block.

The 2AZ-FE engine in the 2007-2009 Camry and 2006-2009 Rav4 may burn excessive oil and is involved in this lawsuit. [1] Other engines are also affected. [2] If this Toyota engine is burning more than 1 US quart (946 ml) of oil in 1,200 miles (1,931 km), has less than 150,000 miles (241,402 km), is less than 10 years old, and is located in the U.S., Toyota service will perform a free oil ...
In an internal combustion engine, a head gasket provides the seal between the engine block and cylinder head(s). Its purpose is to seal the combustion gases within the cylinders and to avoid coolant or engine oil leaking into the cylinders. [1] Leaks in the head gasket can cause poor engine running and/or overheating.
These engines are prone to oil gelling. Another name for the issue was "engine sludge". [1] There was a class action lawsuit due to this problem. [2] It is very important to the life of these engines that oil changes are done on a regular basis. The 1MZ-FE was on Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 1996. [3] Applications: 1993–2002 Toyota Camry (V6)
The Toyota F series engine was a series of OHV inline-6-cylinder engines produced by Toyota between November 1949 and 1992. They are known for their high amount of torque at low engine speeds, massive cast-iron blocks and heads and also their high reliability. The F engine had one of the longest production runs of any Toyota engine.
The Toyota ZZ engine family is a straight-4 piston engine series. The ZZ series uses a die-cast aluminium engine block with thin press-fit cast iron cylinder liners, and aluminium DOHC 4-valve cylinder heads. [1] The camshafts are chain-driven. The two 1.8 L members of the family, the 1ZZ and 2ZZ, use different bore and stroke.
The Toyota VZ engine family is a series of V6 gasoline piston engines ranging from 2.0 to 3.4 L (1,992 to 3,378 cc) in displacement and both SOHC and DOHC configurations. [1] It was Toyota's first V6 engine, being made as a response to Nissan ’s VG engine , one of Japan's first mass-produced V6 engines.
A short block is the preferred replacement component for a worn-out engine that requires major servicing beyond the capabilities of a local repair garage, when instead a machine shop may be needed. The short block represents the major wear items of an engine: piston rings, and potentially a rebore of the cylinder bores or replacement liners ...
