Digsy Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 anyone know why toyota didnt use liners on the block? is the tt different? No need really on a cast iron block. Much simpler to just run parent bore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Looks good. When i went to beaulieu motor museum they done this to some engines where you can see the valves, pistons etc. I will find the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
