Did some inventory on my engine build project. Still missing a few things but getting there.
I'm sure some NLA list parts are already known to Mud, but one that seems to be newly unavailable is intake valve seats #11131-60010. There was a long back-order for exhaust valve seats, intake & exhaust valves but I got them. I placed an order through Amayama for the intake valve seats but they can't obtain these. I see that SOR offers them. Any other sources and/or recommendations?
Not so fun side note, the crown edge of one of the pistons I ordered is dented from what was likely a drop on the concrete. Hoping there's a replacement available. Parts are getting difficult to obtain.
It surprised me to find that the main bearing sets are no longer available through Toyota in either standard or first under, #'s 11702-60013 & 11703-60013. Extremely odd considering this is a standard wearable item and there are a lot of 2F's in the world. Fortunately Clevite appears to make these in both standard, 1st and 2nd undersized options. What confuses me is why these bearing are offered in a Tri-Metal configuration. I assume OE bearings are Bi-Metal so I'm curious if anyone has experience with Clevite Tri-Metal bearings and/or if you have any other recommendations. It's not that Tri-Metal bearings are a bad thing, just normally something you would see in a high performance application.
And now for the best parts from this round of inventory:
