From 1992, Toyota Carina E vehicles use two types of gasoline engines. These are in-line four-cylinder engines mounted transversely at the front of the engine compartment, with a crankshaft supported by five main bearings, liquid cooling, and cylinder displacements of 1.6 L and 2 L respectively. Brief specifications are given in Table 2.1.
