n8kwx — I've now looked through everything I have, but can't find any explicit reference to a crankshaft offset in the Camry Hybrid. That diagram from the "New Car Features Guide" persuades me, however. It's also interesting that the non-hybrid "New Car Features Guide" shows a corresponding diagram for the non-hybrid's 2.4-L 2AZ-FE engine, and it also shows a similar crankshaft offset (no, it's not the same diagram!). I conclude that both Toyota engines (and perhaps all their new engines?) are using an offset as a means of improving fuel efficiency slightly by reducing frictional losses during their power stroke.
