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?

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

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

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
