Toyota 5VZ-FE specs: 3.4L (207 ci) 6-cylinder, 93.5 x 82 mm (3.6811 x 3.2283 in) bore and stroke, 9.6:1 compression. Rated 190 hp, 1995–1998.
The Toyota 5VZ-FE is oversquare — the 3.6811" bore exceeds the 3.2283" stroke by 14.0% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.2283" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,450 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 34.5 ci (565 cc).
9.6:1 on aluminum heads is in the range that usually runs on pump premium; aluminum sheds heat faster than iron, which makes the same number a little more forgiving.
4 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 190 hp across 1995–1998.
