are the 12 valve and 24valve 80 series bottom ends the same?
hav a 12 valve 1hdt with bung bottom end but can get hands on good 24 valve one will this work has any one done it?

[wopass]

cannot say for positive but they share the same big end bearing shells so i would assume so? check with STA or miles toyota to be sure, ask for 12 valve crank part number then see if 24 valve crank part number is the same

[uwish]

ok so cranks maybe same but the 24valve motor im looking at is complete from sump to just under head so thats what id be looking at

[wopass]

ahh righto, so you need to know if your 12 valve head will bolt onto the 24 valve block... probably!! but no idea. get a 12 valve head gasket and sit it on the block to see if everything lines up.

righto then

did have a post done but telecom are a bunch of fuktards and our net keeps dropping out


so what I was trying to write was that you could use www.toyodiy.com and punch in your 24 valve vin number and compare it to my 12 valve one

but never mind coz I searched the site myself and found they list the same part numbers for 12 and 24 valve cranks

so whilst i was at it, I found they list the same part number for head gaskets too

now its not the bible and as wopass suggested a quick phone call to toyota would answer all questions, although these days the toyota parts guys are not that clued up as they require a rego number to find parts for your vehicle, coz it must be too hard to use search functions on thier system like I've just done


good luck anyways
