1ZZ FE cylinder block
The Toyota 1ZZ-FE engine features a high-pressure aluminum die-cast cylinder block with an open-deck design and thin cast-in iron liners. This construction results in a block that is approximately 32% lighter than its cast iron predecessors, enhancing overall vehicle efficiency. Integrated components such as the water pump swirl chamber, inlet housing, and bypass passage contribute to a compact and efficient engine design. (Scribd)
🔧 Cylinder Block Torque Specifications
Main Bearing Cap Bolts:
- Initial Torque: 22 Nm (16 ft-lbf)
- Second Pass: 44 Nm (32 ft-lbf)
- Final Steps: Rotate all bolts 45°, then an additional 45°, totaling a 90° turn from the initial position. (GitLab, engine-specs.net)
Connecting Rod Cap Bolts:
- Initial Torque: 20 Nm (15 ft-lbf)
- Final Step: Rotate bolts 90° beyond the initial torque. (engine-specs.net)
Additional Bolts:
- Bearing Cap Sub-Assembly Bolts: Torque to 19 Nm (14 ft-lbf). (GitLab)
🛠️ Assembly Tips
- Lubrication: Apply engine oil to the threads and under the heads of bolts to ensure accurate torque readings and prevent galling.
- Tightening Sequence: Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended bolt tightening sequence to ensure even distribution of pressure and to avoid warping components.
- Marking Bolts: After the final torque angle is applied, mark the bolts to confirm they have been properly torqued.(GitLab)
