The 1983 Camry ran a single engine, the 2.0L four-cylinder (2S-E), and this factory service and repair manual was written to that car and that model year. The torque figures, clearances and procedure sequences in it are the ones Toyota published for 1983 rather than values carried over from a neighboring year.
