Chevy I6 and Toyota Engines

Not sure of the seal location. It is not clear from the parts book, or the FSM. My FSM for early F only shows the conventional 58-64 valves & umbrella seals that go beneath valve locks.

Your photo looks right, FWIW.

Really? Because I thought that the rubber seals (which you can see are above the locks on the valves in back of and in front of the one I'm working on) are below the locks in all other years. Yet, if I'm reading your illustration there correctly, they do seem to be above the locks.

Thanks very much for looking at this, btw.

It seems to make sense that the seal would be on top of the umbrella retainer, to create a shingle effect, with oil running off the seal, across the retainer and down over the umbrella cup.

Ok, that makes sense to me, too. Thanks Jim!

My 61 FJ40 had a 235 I-6 chevy in it when I got it. It had been built by a highschool shop class about 30 years ago, and spent the last 20 crawling around our hunting lease. The chevy 6 was bolted up to the stock three speed with no adapters used, so they must be pretty similar to the stock engine. They had used angle iron welded to the frame for motor mounts, so not much flex.

My 61 is now getting a SBC and later model 4speed tranny and t-case, so the old chevy 6 bolted to the toy tranny/t-case is now on the floor in my shop.

Jim-Has anyone tried dropping Chevy hydraulic lifters into an F/2F engine? Do they get enough oil bath to pump up? It would sure be nice if we could make the valve adjustment procedure go away.

No oil for hydraulic lifters in a f/2f engine, period.

Hmmm? Nice pictures. Thanks. Do you think they might have copied? Toyoda (with a "D") got a license to build the Chevy 6, and it became the 1F and 2F, and 3FE,......etc. The Japanese also built Pratt and Whitney aircraft engines and Hamilton Standard propellers under license. I recall an uncle telling me that when his plane was damaged during WW2, they went over to a wrecked Jap plane and took a part off of it to fix his. Not certain if that's true or not, but the Japanese developed the art of copying to a high standard, as did the Russkies with the TU4. And, as have we. Ned

Your uncle's story holds water.

The Japanese made Douglas DC-2 and DC-3 copies under license, and continued to make them during the war.

Google for Nakajima Tabby. (Tabby is the Allied code name for the aircraft.) These have an extra cockpit window, and some had a dorsal gun turret.

The Nakajima-Douglas Tess was assembled from parts bought from Douglas. They lacked the extra window.

In addition, Kawasaki made a copy of the Lockheed 14 Electra, code named Thalia. Plus several were exported to Japan, plus built copies. Allied code name Toby and Thalia (Thalia was used for the stretched fuselage version).

Kawasaki also imported Lockheed 14-38 Super Electras, and then built as well. Allied code name Thelma.

June 1942 Aircraft section starts production.

3/29/1943 Kawasaki aircraft with Toyoda establish Tokai aircraft company (present day Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd. AISIN - About AISIN - Corporate History See link: Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd. -- Company History

...as it turns out Mr. Honda Soichiro the founder of Honda Corp. was working as director of the Tokai company: http://www.honda.com.vn/web/Default.aspx?cmd=contentdetail&distid=1316&lang=vi-VN for more on Honda: Honda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) (Tokai anti-sub aircraft: Rod's WarBirds)


"In 1943, Aisin was founded as Tokai Aircraft Company by Kiichiro Toyoda, the founder of the Toyota Group. Tokai Aircraft was founded to manufacture engine parts for World War II aircraft. In 1945, at the close of the war, Tokai Aircraft switched its production to sewing machines and automotive parts, both products that had been in short supply during the war. In 1949, Tokai Aircraft Company changed its name to Aichi Kogyo Company. This company then merged with Shinkawa Kogyo Co. Ltd. in 1965 to form Aisin Seiki Co. Ltd."
