Toyota 3L head issue

Post by BroRunner »

Will a 2.4 surf head fit to a 2.8 (3L) block,
have been told they do but not sure,
not too sure if it was 2LT or 2LTE,
but any info would be helpfull.

I beleive they do but why not use the 3L head, they are the replacement for a stuffed 2LTE head.
Just bolt your gear (turbo, etc.) to it.

Use a 3L head. The Early 2Lt head wont fit at all and is identifyable by adjustable rockers as oposed to buckets and shims on the late model 2LT. The late model head on both the 2Lt and the 2LTE will fit but i wouldnt use one they are a poor designe and are prone to cracking as they have an extra internal cooling galery in them to try and keep a little cooler with the turbo. This makes them weak and crack easy. Although the 3L head also cracks its not as common a problem.
The Late 2L non turbo fitted to 10/88+ 2wd hilux's and Hiaces will also work with the 3L.

Thanks for your replies. I'll try and get a 3L head now,
the only reason I asked about the surf head was that
I got one offered to me for a reasonable price with complete
turbo kit so I thought I would check fitment, I might try and
get the turbo kit only and get a 3L head instead.
Cheers fellas.
