Is a 3RZ an interference engine?
Interference engines are 4-stroke internal combustion engines. Toyota 20R, 22R, 22RE, 22RET, 2RZ-RE, 3RZ-FE engines are all chain driven interference engines.

A friend of mine has fitted a “pre 2003” 2.7i 3RZ motor in his 97 Hilux and I have fitted a “post 2003” 2.7i 3RZ motor in my 96 Hilux. He gets a far better fuel consuption than I do, which is most propably due to the differences on the MAF and MAP sensors.
What’s the timing chain on a Toyota 3rz Fe?
