My 1991 Toyota Camry has a Yamaha designed and built 2.5 litre V6, dual over head cams, shim/bucket 4 valves per cylinder, and has just turned 140K miles. It was a free to me car, runs like it is brand new, is fast for what it is, and gets great fuel mileage. And, it uses a 29mm Z/KZ/Yamaha valve shim for adjustment, of which, I have what seems like billions of.

It is a 4 door sedan, NICE car, I only wish it was a station wagon, and had a 5 speed, instead of the also excellent automatic.

Yamaha has partnered with Toyota for more than a few different engine designs, and they just seem to live long and prosper, very hard to break one.

That Yamaha car should be one great vehicle, if they build it.

The 4.4 liter V8 Volvo engine used in S80 and XC90 is built by Yamaha in Japan under Volvo design and specifications.
