uration of the cylinder head proper has been simplified. This results in weight reduction and improved serviceability.
● Pentroof combustion chambers are used. A spark plug is located practically in the center of each combustion chamber to enhance combus-
tion efficiency and knock resistance. Furthermore, the angle between the intake and exhaust valves has been narrowed to 25.6 degrees, thus
making the combustion chamber compact.
● The port configuration is an efficient cross-flow type in which the intake ports face the inside of the V bank and the exhaust ports face the
outside. The intake ports have an independent, narrow-diameter construction and the exhaust ports have a Siamese construction to enhance
low- to medium-speed torque. The intake ports are the vertical type that has a cutout and an edge at the bottom of each port outlet to realize
a high tumble and high intake efficiency.
● The diameter of the valve stem and the outer diameter of the valve guide have been reduced to reduce intake resistance.
● The cylinder head bolts are tightened with the plastic region tightening method in order to stabilize the axial tension of the bolts.

Cylinder Block Fitting Parts

● The cylinder block is made of an aluminum alloy to realize a dramatic weight reduction. Furthermore, it has been made compact in terms
of both overall length and width as follows: a 60° V6 bank angle, a 36.6mm bank offset, and a 105.5mm bore center distance.
● The oil pan consists of a two-piece construction. Oil pan No. 1 is made of an aluminum alloy, and oil pan No. 2 is made of stamped steel

sheet. Oil pan No. 1 has built-in stiffeners that tighten the cylinder block and the transaxle case together. This increases the rigidity of the
entire power plant, resulting in reduced vibration and weight reduction.
● Appropriate ribs are placed on the outer wall of the cylinder block to increase rigidity.
● An FIPG (Formed-In-Place Gasket), which excels in sealing performance, is used on the mating surfaces of the oil pan.

Cylinder Block
● The cylinder liner is a centrifugal cast iron liner insert. Its outer spiny surface enhances contact with the aluminum block, thus improving
heat dissipation. This lowers the temperature of the piston and suppresses the deformation of the bore.
● The outer walls of the block are curved and reinforcement ribs are provided on the end of the block that is coupled to the transmission in
order to attain a high level of rigidity.
● The oil return holes from the cylinder heads and the blowby gas passages have been optimally arranged to ensure the smooth return of oil
 ENGINE
3GR-FSE ENGINE MECHANICAL

and heighten the rigidity of the side faces of the cylinder block.
● Drilled coolant passages are provided between the bores in order to positively cool the upper areas of the cylinder bores, which are easily
affected by heat. Thus, a more uniform temperature distribution has been achieved in the circumferential direction of the bore wall surface.
This improves knocking resistance and minimizes the heat deformation that occurs between the cylinder bores. Thus, an engine with low
friction, high performance, and enhanced fuel economy has been achieved.
● A knock sensor is provided on both the right and left sides of the V bank, enabling optimal knock control.
● The crankshaft bearing caps are made of cast iron, and each is tightened with 4 bolts from the bottom, using the plastic region tightening
method. Also, each bearing cap is tightened from both sides together with the cylinder block, which increases rigidity and decreases vibra-
tion and noise.

Function of Water Jacket Spacer

The water jacket spacer suppresses the water flow in the center of the water jacket. This increases the flow speed of the coolant along the
upper part of the cylinder bore, thus improving the cooling of the upper area of the cylinder block and between the cylinder bores. Further-
more, the area near the center of the cylinder bore becomes less susceptible to the influences of the coolant, allowing the temperature
along the wall surface to rise. These measures decrease the temperature differences along the surface of the cylinder bore wall and enable
uniform thermal expansion. In addition, these measures lower the viscosity of the engine oil that adheres to the surface of the bore wall,
thus reducing friction.

Timing Chain
● The timing mechanism is a chain-driven system that is maintenance-free. Both the primary and secondary timing chains consist of
9.525mm(0.375in.) pitch, high-strength, single-row roller chains and compact sprockets, which contribute to making the engine compact.
● A two-stage chain system is used. It consists of a primary chain that enables the crankshaft to drive the right and left intake camshafts, and
a secondary chain that enables the intake camshafts to drive the exhaust camshafts.
● The primary chain uses a check ball type chain tensioner with a ratchet mechanism that uses both engine oil pressure and a spring force.
The secondary chain uses a compact tensioner that directly pushes on the chain by using engine oil pressure and a spring force. These ten-
sioners constantly apply optimal tension to the timing chains in order to ensure a quiet and reliable operation.
● The timing chain cover is made of an aluminum alloy that is lightweight and excels in sound insulation capability. The one-piece cover
seals the front of the cylinder block, camshaft housing, and cylinder head. The crankshaft sprocket is provided with a guide that prevents
the chain links from jumping. This prevents the chain from being installed incorrectly during maintenance, as a result of the chain falling
out. A service hole for the primary chain tensioner is provided in the timing chain cover to facilitate maintenance.
● The chain dampers and the tensioner shoes are made of a plastic material that excels in wear resistance.

Valve Mechanism
● A Dual VVT-i (Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent : continuously variable intake and exhaust valve timing mechanism) system is used
to control the intake camshaft and the exhaust camshaft to an optimal valve timing in accordance with the driving conditions.
● The camshafts are made of alloyed cast iron. Their cams are induction hardened and their surfaces are finished with a higher precision to
 ENGINE
EG–62 3GR-FSE ENGINE MECHANICAL

improve wear resistance and reduce friction.

● Roller rocker arms are used in the valve train in order to dramatically reduce friction between the cams and the sliding surfaces to improve
fuel economy. In addition, hydraulic lash adjusters are used, making valve clearance adjustments unnecessary and facilitating service.
● Along with the use of the roller rocker arms, the cam profile has been shaped with recessed radii. This increases the amount of valve lift
near the beginning of the opening of the valve and near the end of the closing of the valve, in order to further increase power output.

Roller Rocker Arm

● The rocker arm is made compact and lightweight with a stamped steel arm with built-in needle bearings. The roller is supported by needle
roller bearings that dramatically reduce friction at the sliding area, which contributes to fuel economy.
● An oil delivery pipe system is used for supplying oil to the roller rocker arms. This system positively supplies oil from above the camshaft
to the lubrication area to ensure reliability.

Lash Adjuster Construction
• Compact, hydraulic lash adjusters are used to constantly eliminate the gap (clearance) between the cams and rocker arms, thus enhancing
the quiet performance of the engine.
• The lash adjuster is placed at the fulcrum of the rocker arm at the opposite end of the valve, and uses the oil that is supplied by the cylinder
 ENGINE

head as the operating fluid. The plunger in the lash adjuster body slides vertically due to the repulsion of the plunger spring or the hy-
draulic force in order to adjust the clearance.

Lash Adjuster Operation

• The camshaft rotates clockwise, causing the cam to push on the rocker arm (acting), and a load is applied to both the valve and the plung-
er. At this time, the plunger almost gets pushed in, but because the check ball closes, the plunger stops. This allows the rocker arm to tilt
in the clockwise direction, using the top of the plunger as the fulcrum, thus pushing the valve down.
• When the cam gets past the apex, the force of the valve spring causes the rocker arm to start ascending. However, because the force of
the valve spring also acts on the lash adjuster, the high pressure chamber maintains its hydraulic pressure.
• When the valve closes (action ended), the oil in the high-pressure chamber is released from the pressurized state. At this time, a valve
clearance is about to be created. However, the force of the plunger spring causes the plunger to push the rocker arm upward in order to
maintain a constant zero valve clearance. At the same time, the capacity of the high-pressure chamber increases, creating a pressure dif-
ference between the high-pressure and low-pressure chambers. When this pressure difference becomes greater than the force of the check
ball spring, the check ball moves downward to provide an oil passage. This allows the oil to flow from the low-pressure chamber to the
high-pressure chamber in preparation for the next movement (standby state).

Dual VVT-i Controller

● The VVT-i controller is a vane type that has low friction and is highly efficient while it is being driven.
● The VVT-i controller for the intake is a 3-vane type, and a 4-vane type for the exhaust. When the engine is stopped, a lock pin locks the
vanes for the intake in the most retarded position and the vanes for the exhaust in the most advanced position.
● The VVT-i for the exhaust is provided with an advance assist spring that provides a torque assist in the advance direction so that the lock
 ENGINE
3GR-FSE ENGINE MECHANICAL
EG–65

pin engages securely when the engine is stopped.

● Based on the signals provided by the sensors, the ECM controls the hydraulic pressure that acts on the advance chamber and retard chamber
in the VVT-i controller, via an OCV (Oil Control Valve) that is mounted on the cylinder head cover. Thus, it continuously varies the phases
of the intake and exhaust camshafts.

Blowby Gas Reduction System

● A PCV hose and a PCV valve are provided to forcefully feed the blowby gas into the intake system for combustion, in order to prevent the
blowby gas, which includes a large amount of HC, from being discharged into the atmosphere. A new air circulating system is used wherein
 ENGINE
3GR-FSE ENGINE MECHANICAL
EG–73

fresh air from the air cleaner hose is introduced via the right bank head cover and the blowby gas is discharged into the surge tank via the
left bank head cover.
● Under light load conditions, the intake manifold vacuum causes the blowby gas to be drawn via the PCV valve into the intake manifold, to
be combusted. The internal pressure is regulated in the crankcase, where fresh air is introduced from the cylinder head cover.
● Under high load conditions, the intake manifold vacuum forcefully introduces the blowby gas into the intake system, where it is combusted.
This prevents the blowby gas, which contains a large amount of HC, from being released to the atmosphere.
● A dedicated oil return passage and a blowby gas passage are provided in the cylinder block and the cylinder head to enhance the oil return
function and minimize the volume of oil that is taken away.
