This crankshaft is listed for Toyota models using the 1ZZ engine family, including COROLLA, Avensis, Celica, Matrix, Wish, MR2 and Spyder. Always verify fitment with your vehicle's engine code or VIN before purchasing.
The listing uses the Toyota-style part number 13401-22020 for identification, but whether the unit is genuine OEM or an aftermarket equivalent depends on the seller. Check the product listing or contact the vendor to confirm origin and branding.
Crankshafts are typically made from high‑strength forged or cast steel and are heat-treated for durability. For the exact material specification and heat-treatment details for this specific unit, contact the supplier or refer to the product technical sheet.
The product description emphasizes a top-quality part for repairs and replacements but does not explicitly state new or remanufactured status. Confirm with the seller whether the unit is brand-new, remanufactured, or used before purchase.
Yes. It is strongly recommended to inspect and typically replace related wear items when swapping a crankshaft—main and rod bearings, front and rear seals, thrust washers, and connecting rods bolts. Also check balancing, oil passages and if necessary replace timing components.
Installation requires advanced mechanical skill and proper tools, including an engine hoist (if engine removal is necessary), torque wrench, micrometers or plastigauge for bearing clearances, and possible balancing equipment. If you are not experienced with engine rebuilds, professional installation is recommended.
Confirm fitment by checking your vehicle’s engine code (1ZZ-FE, etc.), cross-referencing the part number with OEM parts catalogs, or providing your VIN to the seller. This ensures compatibility across different model years and subvariants.
Some replacement crankshafts are ready-to-install, while others may require final balancing or inspection for journal finish and dimensions. Always verify with the supplier if the unit is pre-balanced and within OEM journal tolerances; if not, have a qualified machine shop perform the necessary work.
Symptoms can include knocking or rumbling noises from the bottom end, low oil pressure, metal shavings in the oil, excessive vibration, difficulty starting, or sudden engine failure. Any of these warrant immediate inspection.
Specific torque values and bearing clearance specifications are not provided with the part description. Always refer to the Toyota service manual for your engine for exact torque specs, bearing clearances, and assembly procedures.
Warranty and return policies vary by seller. Check the seller’s product page or contact their customer service for details on warranty length, coverage, and return/ exchange procedures before purchasing.
Some suppliers require a core exchange or charge for remanufactured parts. The product description does not state a core policy—confirm with the seller whether a core deposit or return of the old crankshaft is required.
Have a machine shop or qualified technician inspect journal diameters, roundness, surface finish and oil passages. They can measure journal runout, check tolerances against the service manual, and clean or repair oil passages as needed.
Interchange numbers can vary by region and manufacturer. Use the 13401-22020 number as a starting point and ask the seller or consult a parts database to identify equivalent OEM or aftermarket part numbers for your exact engine variant.
Use the correct grade and viscosity of engine oil, maintain regular oil change intervals, ensure oiling system components (pump, pickup, filter) are clean and functioning, replace bearings and seals properly, and avoid overheating or severe detonation conditions.
