The Toyota K series was a straight-4 engine produced from 1966 through 2007. It was a
two-valve pushrod engine design, a rarity for the company. It was originally built from the Toyota
Kamigo plant in Toyota City factory in Japan.
All K series are non-crossflow engines the inlet and exhaust manifolds are on the same side.
They have cast iron blocks and aluminium alloy heads, with a crankshaft supported by five main
bearings. K series motors have both hydraulic tappet or hydraulic valve lifters, solid lifters and
1.5 ratio rockers with an adjustment thread for tappet clearance. 7k engines were released with
only the hydraulic valve lifters from factory, whereas 4k and 5k engines were made with both
hydraulic and solid lifters (depending on year and which model vehicle.)

7K-C engine in a 1996 Toyota Kijang


The 1.8 L (1,781 cc) 7K was first introduced in 1983. Cylinder bore was 80.5 mm (3.17 in) and
stroke was 87.5 mm (3.44 in). Output was 80 hp (60 kW) at 4600 RPM and 103 lbft (139 Nm)
at 2800 . The Engine was available with a 5 speed manual & 4 speed automatic transmission.
Available in both fuel injected and carburetted configurations, the 7K produces much more
power and torque compared to the other K engines however it is a lot less 'rev happy' due to
having such a large stroke.
7K-E is available in KR42 Townace SBV vans (19972007) using a large G52 5 speed gearbox
(Same bellhousing to box pattern as W55), or automatic.
Applications:
Toyota Kijang/Toyota Revo/Toyota TownAce/Toyota LiteAce/Toyota Tamaraw FX
