    Interesting review of the 4.6l engine and its pros and cons below. The local Toyota dealer wants ca 1100 bucks to replace my water filter, have 44k miles on truck.

    1UR-FE Engine Problems and Reliability

    Despite the fact that the new engine has nothing similar with the 2UZ-FE, they have joint problems. The water pump is still a source of leaks and issues. It has a short life - 60,000 miles (100,000 km), and it's gone. Sometimes the hydraulic chain tensioner fails, loosening the timing chain tension. In the early years of production, the engine was equipped with too thin unreliable valve springs. Some owners complain about increased oil consumption - up to 0.5 liters per 1000 miles. But in the rest, the 1UR-FE engine has excellent longevity and durability, almost the same as the 2UZ-FE.

    Thought some of you might enjoy the review. Cheers to you folks one and all.
