2000 Toyota Tundra 4.7 Have A Interference Engine
Toyota and Lexus 47L V8 2UZ-FE timing belt replacement note.
2000 toyota tundra 4.7 have a interference engine. This 32 valve dual overhead cam motor has a cast iron block and aluminum cylinder heads specifically designed with increased durability for use in pickups and SUVs like the Toyota Landcruiser Sequoia and Tundra. In comparison to non-interference engines interference engines breathe better because the valves can open earlier close later and open wider. Im about to tick over to 180k miles and I have a 300 mile road trip coming up I have a 2000 tundra pre vvti Non I-Force is my engine an interference engine or not.
I have heard this was Interference engine though. The 2005-07 47L is definitely interference. The timing belt should have have been replaced at 150000 Ks but I have no means of knowing if it was.
The 47 is an interference engine which means that if the engine gets out of time the valves can hit the pistons. Ive heard it is and that it isntlol pretty sure after 04 came gen2 47 VVT. 2003--2004 Lexus GX 470 1998--2005 Lexus LX 470 1998--2005 Toyota Land Cruiser 2003--2004 Toyota 4Runner 2000--2004 Toyota Tundra 2001--2004 Toyota Sequoia.
So much confusion too with the 2001-04 Toyota Sequoias and 2000-2004 Tundra with the 47L I own a 04 Sequoia. If it hasnt then itd have to be done immediately and youre looking at a lot of extra just for that. The 3MZ and vvti 1MZ being notable exceptions.
The engine has a timing belt that needs the replacement every 90000 miles. Discussion Starter 1 Jan 20 2008. This does not mean that there has been damage because the belt has broken it just means that damage is possible if the belt breaks.
Is this engine an interference engine or a non-interference engine. Can any body tell me if the 47 V8 is Interference or non-interference. The Toyota and Lexus 2UZ-FE 47L V8 is the gold standard of reliable mid-sized iron block V8s.
