Re: 4age 20v Blacktop?

I have a Blacktop in my Trueno and my advice would be to use silvertop con rods as the blacktop rods are notoriously thin.

But it is a brilliant engine, One of the best Toyota/Yamaha made in my opinion

VVT engagement is :twisted:

Sump gasket???

After buying my rev3 n/a i have found that the engine oil is being lost through the sump area. :-k

Are the sealed by a gasket or are they bonded on with rtv or something similar?

Im going to replace the sump any way as it looks like its quite rotten thinking on it
