The infamous sludge problem confirmed by Toyota pertains to 5S-FE as well.
Toyota stated engines 97-01 covered. Which brings a question - what fundamentally different changed in 1996 5S-FE engines which contributed to this problem? One thing I see in 1997 - on Camrys - the oil cooler disapeared. Is it still in 97-99 celicas? What else is so different? |

all the 6th gen GT's had oil coolers stock.
heres a pic of my valvetrain from when i swapped the '98 motor in (yes, i love showing off this pic! haha)  no chance of sludge buildup when the motor is maintained like that!
