Replacement Toyota 4Y

Post by WIDE BOY »

Has anyone had any experiance with the new toyota 4Y motors that are licence built in china? A long motor without the alternator,inlet outlet manifolds sells for about $1500 with a 20.000 km warranty.

Are they a direct bolt in for old Toyota 3Y ?

Thanks v8suki, You have confirmed what I suspected. I will look into getting the motor overhauled.
