what kind of engine?

[dogvila]

i have a 1997 toyota camry le 4 cyl....i was told that the engine came with two different casting nmbers, one which was a 3 sfe or somthn like that and a 5sfe. Was wondering how i could tell the difference or if someone could tell me where the casting number is found on the block, any help would be appreciated!

All 4cyl Camrys came with the 5sfe.....Only the Celicas. and MR2s came with the 3sfe or the 3sgte which is the turbo engine.

You should be more specific, all 4 banger Camrys from 92-01 came with the 5S-FE. Prior to 92 was the 3S-FE and after 01 is some other thing that I don't know the name of.

I think it's the 2AZ-FE in 02-09 Camry's.

You have a 5SFE.

I have the same year model and trim, and it's 5SFE.

It would save you a lot of time to read the badge under your hood...

[dogvila]

is this badge pretty obvious in its placement or is there some where special i should look?

It's VERY obvious.

[Chris Crash]

It's a big white sticker on the underside of the hood. I believe it's the top right, if you're standing at the front of the car.

It might be covered in dirt though.

Sorry, I meant that jtex2717 should be more specific when he said that all 4 cyl Camrys had the 5S-FE. I didn't mean you, you gave all the right info.

oh ok sorry thought you meant me

sorry for all the silly questions about the badge, im at work and my girlfriend is at home and im hopen that she can find it for me so i can just go straight to the machine shop to get the gaskets instead of going to the opposite side of town to check it for myself..
