Andy,

There were 2 on eBay (USA) only a month or two ago, and located not far from you. No bids, although the price wasn't that bad, IMO (Buy it now for around $4K, IIRC)

Try contacting Mitch Pederson, the people that brought his in might help.

phongshader,

Yes, All parts are available from toyota, here in Australia anyway. Over here you have to either give them a vehicle VIN number or the actual part number. You also have to be a bit careful as these engines also came out running CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) those engine have different valve seats, pistons, rings etc. A good website for parts information is http://www.megazip.ru/ru/auto/toyota...403226#g403226

There is usually a couple of these engine available on the Yahoo Auctions Japan website but you will need a contact in Japan to be able to purchase them.

Andy R
If you could you tell me what the deck height of the block is, pin height of the piston that would be great.
Thanks

I'm more concerned with the oem ecus for it, if they are really engine matched etc.
Seen a few go for $3k-4k

Hi Andy, If you get a chance could you please measure the width of the 1GZ rods at the big end for me. Thats the last piece of info I need to check out a possible conversion from 1GZ rods and pistons to the cheep and plentiful Honda B16A rods and pistons.

Has anyone measured valves and ports? It would be great to know valve diameters, valve inclination, and port areas.
