Adoom Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I just noticed this... Only these two are corroded. All the others are fine. There is normally 8mm between the hole and the bore. With this corrosion it's only 6mm. Is it still okay to use. Seedy Al, Cam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 This is a problem on shitty y series toyota engines. Makes them do wees into cylinder. Not so annoying on a shitty engine in a forklift/hilux but could be a pain for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 was talking to someone the other week about the same problem, 4AGE had a corroded bit in the block, he fixed it with jb weld then filed it flat in place with a hand file. it worked too, haha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoom Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Yeah that top one is pretty gnarly i mean its not where the fire ring sits but yeah. Also noticed the pitting between the liner and block which wont help sealing at all The liner comment confused me for a bit. It doesn't have a liner, it's a CA18 block. The "pitting" around the "liner" is old gasket residue. I probably could have done a better job of cleaning it up before taking the photo. As far as I can tell, there is no pitting apart from how the hole is bigger. I was planning on getting the deck resurfaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
