If it's the 3S-FE 2 litre you're on about, which you probably are if it's out of a 1998 model then you're in luck! They were used in most Toyota's of a similar age that had a 2 litre engine in them, like the Avensis/Carina E etc. They can even be found in MR2's if i'm not mistaken. However, there were different versions of the 3S engine so bear that in mind, mostly with different head styles I believe. It's the FE style that will interest you as I said.

So to conclude, there should be plenty of availability. After 1997 in the Rav 4 they changed the engine slightly to run with coil packs instead of a distributor. It was about that year, but i'm not exactly sure on that one. Not sure when they changed it in the other car models, but becuase yours is a 1998 model you are basically looking for the most recent incarnation of the 3S-FE engine.

Hope this helps! :thumbsup:

Well i'm obviously not far from you and I have a 1998 model too, so if you require another car to compare with at any time, like when the engine is out feel free to ask.

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your troubles.

The engine was also fitted into the 2.0 Avensis, which is not on the list provided by another member.

I have been having some problems with my engine, and according to some info I gleamed from another website the 3S - FE is a non interference engine, so cambelt snapping shouldn't have done any damage.
