The 2002's were the first year of that generation and had a completely different drivetrain than the previous cars. The engine is pretty robust and uses a timing chain. The only issues I'm aware of are the valvetrain's shimless buckets getting out-of-spec and burning exhaust valves, issues with sensors and injectors, the aforementioned sludge, and the head bolts having issues. The transmissions had electro-hydraulic issues that, if left unchecked, could cause hard-failures. Camry struts are a weak link in all generations. Really, though, they are pretty bulletproof cars.
