CYLINDER HEAD

The cylinder head is made of aluminum alloy which gives it good cooling efficiency. The engine has dual overhead camshaft design with four valves per cylinder. The engine has a pentroof type combustion chamber and cross-flow manifolds.

The 1NZ-FE used Variable Valve Timing with intelligence system (VVT-i) on the intake camshaft. Intake valves are 30.5 mm (1.20 in) in diameter, and the exhaust valves are 25.5 mm (1.00 in). Until 2004, the engine did not have hydraulic lifters, so special valve shims were used to adjust the valve clearance.

Valve clearance adjustment data
Calculate the thickness of new adjusting valve lifter so valve clearance comes within specified values.

R = Thickness of removed valve lifter
N = Thickness of new valve lifter
M = Measured valve clearance

Intake:
N = R + [M – 0.20 mm (0.008 in)]
Exhaust:
N = R + [M – 0.30 mm (0.012 in)]

Valve lifters are available in 35 sizes to range from 5.06 mm (0.1992 in) to 5.74 mm (0.2259 in), in steps of 0.02 mm (0.0008 in).

Example (intake valve):
R = 5.10 mm
M = 0.52 mm
N = 5.10 + (0.52 – 0.20) = 5.42 mm.
