Could anyone tell me if the 3VZFE engine used between 92 – 93 in the US is the same engine used in Australia between 95 – 97 I’m looking at buying a complete rebuild kit the price in Australia is three time more than US including import an exchange rate. I cannot get a straight answer from anyone Or does any one know where I can purchase what I need but not marked up 300%

Doubt you'll get a 16V config in a V6 :P

Methinks you're referring to the 3VZE 12V SOHC engine in the Hilux etc (FYI the only non-DOHC V6 Toyota have ever done) which is different to the DOHC 3VZFE in the Camry.

As Hiro said above your probably refereing to the 3VZE 12v SOHC. Quiet often they are very similar kits, so toyota might change a gasket or 2 here and there as they release different versions of the motor, but usually if it says 3VZE most of the gaskets will fit a 3VZE. For example on the 5mge engine I rebuilt recently the kit had older intake gaskets so I had to order the later model intake gaskets individually from rockauto in the us, they cost like $4 + shipping.
