Can 5sfe 2002 remanufactured long block be used in 1998 camry?
This long block actually only includes engine head, and engine block and all internals (no balancer); no oil pan.
I am going to use all externals from 1998 camry, including sensors.
When comparing side by side, both are identical except 2 mounts for 2 bolts at the back. 2002 is little lower, but I believe it is easy to fix.
When comparing VINs, differences:
1998: J at 1st(made in Japan), W at 10 (1998);
donor:4 at 1st(USA made), 2 at 10 (2002);
Both have K at 8th, indicating for Camry.
From wiki,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_S_engine
bore: 87.1 mm (1998); 87.0mm(2002)
Stroke: 90.9 mm(1998); 91.0mm(2002)
Displ.: 2162 cc(1998); 2164cc(2002)
Displ.: 135 hp (101 kW)@5400 rpm(1998); 136 hp @5200 rpm
Can my ECU deal with higher rpm?
Is it good to upgrade to 2002?
Appreciate if tell me any information. Because I need to make decision to buy or not.
