3mz-fe is an interference engine - 2008 Lexus Rx 400h

NO ENGINE TOLD OR VIN. #8 DIGIT OF VIN IS ENGINE.
Engines:

• 2001-2007 2.4 L 2AZ-FE I4,116 kW (155 hp; 157 PS)
• 2001-2003 3.0 L 1MZ-FE V6, 151 kW (203 hp; 206 PS)
• 2004-2007 3.3 L 3MZ-FE V6, 168 kW (225 hp; 228 PS)

they are not the same,
he last car made in 2003 might be 3.3L (no sure ,VIN tells truth)


The service manual of all car made tells this,
why not say where and how they got loose.
brake booster?
EVAP parts?
FPR hose? vac.
also vacuum is always uses at least for smog parts
and guess what smog parts are not the same all over earth.
no country told.

show photo of one part missing vacuum and blind men go gee that is bla bla.
for USA cars see this.

no options told but consider this.

2007 model year, the RX received a mid-cycle refresh consisting of a new 3.5-liter 2GR-FE V6 replacing the 3.3-liter 3MZ-FE V6 engine on non-hybrid models
but is it a hybrid?

yep it will

The RX 330 uses a timing belt. It will be on the outside end of the engine furthest from the gearbox. It will be hidden behind a plastic bolt on cover used to protect fingers from fast moving parts.
The cars with an internal timing setup use a timing 'chain' which doesn't need changing anywhere near as often.

Yes it has an interference motor

Details of this answer are sketchy. I have looked for a while for a clear answer on this. The question is referring to the likelihood of valve/piston contact in the event of a timing belt failure. This specific engine seems to have a lot of mystery as to the status of interference Vs. freewheeling.
