About the Toyota 3.0I v6 Engine
The 3vze comes with flat top pistons from the factory with a compression ratio of 9 to 1. The first 3vze engines that came out in 1988 to 1992 came with a spring loaded tensioner which are located in the engineblock. As the production of the engine progress, the tensioner design changed to a hydraulic tensioner that is located in the right cylinderhead. The cylinderheads are SOHC 8 valve single overhead cam bucket shim aluminum heads. The power output for this engine when it first came out in 1988 was 145hp x 4800 rpm, then later to 150hp x 4800 rpms and the torque output increased to 180 lb-ft x 3400 rpm.
