red rtv on engine, does this mean the hg was likely replaced?

[whodat]

I've had the truck a couple months...still trying to learn about it.

the pic is not my engine...the red rtv is in the U shaped area.

No it means your valves have been adjusted.

Its a good thing.

 

[landtank]

It only means that that plug has been resealed. Anything more would be a guess.

where do i get that engine?

Buy a turbo? Is not the supercharger I have seen pics of, must be a turbo at the end of those hoses? Note the PCV #2 hose is rerouted upstream of it, assuming to prevent the turbo from pressurizing the engine, the plugs are there to fill holes left over from boring the cam journals during manufacture of the head

Those plugs do not have to be removed to replace the head gasket or to adjust valves, I have seen several vehicles that have had oil seeps there, perhaps someone resealed them just for that? But as landtank said that is a guess

Yes, that is the Safari Turbo System with a slightly different intake tube than the one I have. Also that distributor looks different. Hmm? Actually that intake tube would seem to stay hotter as its above the exhaust manifold and turbo casting. I'm curious what engine we see here? An AUS or other international version maybe? Anyway most of the plugs I've seen recently, including mine, have a slight vapor trail of oil; just a slight sweating of oil that attracts dust.

Ditto Turbo the intake is different than the one I have as well. Curuious as to what engine on what truck that is? Turbo knowing you, you are cleaning the dust off arn't you? Got a rav yet you . Later

Man-a-fre is susposely re-entering the turbo market?

I'll believe that when I see it.

Oh and Turbo congrats! Keep talking.

hahaha....good one! I've heard that one before, it's an old joke

SO back to the actual topic, good question and great to hear the answer so i guess my valves have been adjusted also.

 

[turbocruiser]

I've stated it before and I'll state it again, PhotoMan will have an awesome off the shelf turbo system out way before MAF does!

THat is a 1FZ with a coil pack system instead of a distrubutor. It also does have a safari turbo(APS) from the looks of it. PLaces the engine some where else besides here(Japan, OZ, NZ, VZ, and maybe a few other places), lucky doggggggg. later robbie
