The story of this engine
This listing is for a Toyota 2.4-litre engine without a turbocharger. Toyota has built more than one 2.4-litre petrol engine over the years, for example the 2TZ-FE in the first-generation Previa and the 2AZ-FE used in later Previa, Camry and RAV4 models, and these engines are not interchangeable. The original listing does not state the exact code, so we will not guess it here. Instead we read the engine number on the block and compare it with your vehicle before anything is sold.
Buyers usually look for a non-turbo engine because it is simpler to keep: no turbo to replace, fewer oil and boost pipes, and less heat under the bonnet. Whichever code this unit turns out to be, the checks are the same. Look at compression across all cylinders, check for oil consumption and blue smoke, inspect for oil leaks at the valve cover, timing cover and rear main seal, and look for signs of past overheating on the head.
Workshops like naturally aspirated Toyota engines because they are easy to diagnose and parts are widely available. Send your VIN and a photo of your current engine and we will tell you straight away whether this unit is the right one.

FAQs
Which vehicles does this engine fit?
That depends on the exact engine code, which we confirm from the engine number. Send us your VIN and a photo of your current engine and we will tell you whether this unit matches.
What comes with the engine?
You get the engine as shown in the photos, with the code checked before it leaves. Gearbox, clutch, ECU, harness and fluids are not included unless we confirm otherwise on WhatsApp.
What warranty applies?
Used engines carry 3 months on internal engine components. The cover applies when the engine is fitted by an RMI-registered workshop with new oil, filters and coolant.
Do you deliver outside South Africa?
Yes. We arrange delivery across South Africa and to Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Lesotho, Eswatini and Malawi. Send your town and we will quote freight with the engine.
Why does the engine code matter so much for a 2.4 Toyota?
Toyota used different 2.4-litre engines in different vehicles, with different mounts, sumps, wiring and layouts. Matching the code avoids buying an engine that looks right but will not fit.
