Why vvti engine? - Cars & Trucks

The main torque setting for the Toyota Corolla VVTi 1.3 engine will depend on the specific component or fastener being tightened. It is important to refer to the manufacturer's specifications or service manual for the correct torque values to use.
Here are some general torque values for common components on the Toyota Corolla VVTi 1.3 engine:

• Cylinder head bolts: 55 Nm (41 ft-lbs)
• Connecting rod nuts: 40 Nm (29 ft-lbs)
• Main bearing cap bolts: 65 Nm (48 ft-lbs)
• Oil pump bolts: 12 Nm (9 ft-lbs)
• Timing chain tensioner bolt: 25 Nm (18 ft-lbs)

It is important to note that these torque values are just estimates and may vary depending on the specific engine and component. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the correct torque values to use.
In addition, it is important to use a torque wrench to accurately tighten fasteners to the specified torque. Using the wrong torque value or over-tightening fasteners can lead to problems such as stripped threads, damaged components, or engine failure.
I hope this helps!

Let me know if you have any questions.

HI There from past conversions of this nature gearbox lines up to engine block.MOUNTINGS and gearbox cross member also does, importantly starter motor must be situated in front of a transverse engine opposite cooling system radiator. Please do remember you might experience gear ratio issues not of a serious note.Due to engine capacity (horse power) differs.

It could be caused by the oil control valve, it's located on the side of the cylinder head, the vvti actuator is the gear on the front of the camshaft, if it was replaced try replacing the VVTi oil control valve. It can also be caused by a worn chain tensioner.

Haynes manual Autozone has this info

US VVTI models have VVTI on the plastic engine cover..i would assume all models do. You could have a dealer check the VIN. ...

I found this on a google search i hope it will help you as the engine is the same QUESTION: , 2001 Avalon 145,000 miles. Recently developed rough idle when warm. Today produced codes of P1150, P1354. It points to the VVT system. Can a DIY diagnose and repair from home?

Thanks,
John

ANSWER: The P1354 code is for the VVTi malfunction on bank2 which is the cylinder head near the firewall, the 1150 code is for the air.fuel ratio sensor on the same head, the VVTi code can cause the A/F ratio sensor to go out of range, the main cause is the P1354 code which should be delt with first, this can be caused by a worn timing belt that has junped a tooth on the sprocket, this should be checked first, at this mileage if it has never been replaced it may be the problem. If your scanner can read live data see where the engine timing is at.
If the timing is not the problem it may be a bad oil control valve for the VVTi system, to be sure it should be active tested using a diagnostic tool that is capable of doing so, activating the system at idle should cause the engine run rough at idle, if there is no effect on the engine the VVTi is not activated and the problem may be the OCV.

you need to adjust it.. take it to a dealer probly cost you a lil bit 400 bucks.. but its a toyota you defenitely dont need a new engine .. just a lil tuning will do the job.. also check if its the water pump that might be the knocking sound your hearing common sickness for vvti engines..
