Where is the crankshaft located and what does it look like on a 94 Toyota Tercel?

In a 1994 Toyota Tercel, the crankshaft is located inside the engine block, connecting to the pistons and converting their linear motion into rotational motion to power the vehicle. It typically appears as a long, cylindrical metal shaft with multiple offset lobes (or throws) along its length, which help maintain balance and transfer motion. The crankshaft is usually not visible without disassembling the engine, as it is housed within the engine block and connected to various components like the oil pan and flywheel.
