Hello Folks,
I have a very similar problem as described in
unfortunately the thread wasn't really helpful enough to see what that means for my engine.
Also for me, I have an Engine that was put into a different body.. In my case a 2H engine is sitting in a FJ45-Body. (so kind of a custom made HJ-47)... Now I never bought yet Engine parts and for the rest of the vehicle i have the VIN (as on the plate in the body)
But now I am having as a project the overhaul of the engine and as getting parts in Ethiopia is a big headache, i first wanted to make sure that i would get the parts. So when I used TOYODIY.com in order to figure out the parts i find for most parts 2 versions:
For example:
maybe with the Gasket-Kit it is not all so terrible as i could imagine that the difference is quite small, but same is true for combustion chambers, crankshaft- & connecting rod bearings, Pistons, and others... so i assume i should really know if i have the "older type" or the "newer type"
another thread that i hoped would maybe help was:
but in fact there was only one single Engine number + manufacturing date included, that maybe helps:
Now I am wondering: The picture below shows that the corrolation of F/2F motor-production dates with its serial number...
It suggests that the Engine serial number is simply a running number.... Given the information above that engine serial number 1082938 was produced in 08/'84, that would mean that my serial number (1058681) was produced earlier than that. In that case i would have to buy the "older type" parts before 10/84.
If somebody knew for sure that the engine serial numbers are simply running numbers i would be reasonably sure that i have the "older type".
Best!
Thomas
