2AZFE head on ebay

Linky no workee.

If the price stays low, I'll be bidding on that head. I'll put it on the car, then modify my original head and see what I can get out of it. I can also see how well put together the original piece is from two examples. Let's just hope there isn't a bidding war...

It's mine. Now we can see what this little engine can do.

The head showed up today. No valves, but it's straight enough for the cams to turn, so it might actually be a runner.

It has the typical rough turn on the port floor, and the bowls are crude, but Toyco actually did a decent job of blending the seats into the ports at the factory.

Oh, it did come with a few extras: cam chain and sprockets, VVTi control valve, cams, oil pump (?), oil pump drive chain (hey, did you guys know that's a RADICAL departure for Toyco?), cam chain slippers and tensioner, and a full set of balancer bearings (they're sized just like crank and rod bearings, strange).

Work will commence after I get a pressure check and a flatness check to determine the real health of the unit.

Was wondering on the progress of that pressure check and such. Find out anything?

Nothing yet. I haven't done anything with it, I've been waiting for my 1/4ly bonus to get started with it. It should show up soon, it always does...
