Replying to: ghulet (Nov 06, 2009 4:36 pm) Yeah, must be a 728, they didn't make a 720, even for Europe, as far as I know.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Nov 06, 2009 4:07 pm) Not sure what's rare about the 80's Toyota pickup. (SR-5? V6?). You can't swing a cat around here without hitting half a dozen of the things. (small town Oregon).

Replying to: oregonboy (Nov 06, 2009 6:51 pm) we are equally infested here in California. A favorite of gardeners just starting up their business. They do seem to keep on going, I will say that, even if the bench seating can break your back. I guess they sport the sturdy 22R engine. I took one of those engines apart some years back and was quite amazed at the quality and machining of the internal parts.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 07, 2009 8:57 am) Our mechanics 11 class in high school had an endless supply of old Toyota motors (not sure of it was 22R) for students to learn on. I guess the cars they were from rusted out before the engines reached the end of their life.

Replying to: boomchek (Nov 07, 2009 9:52 am) I think what surprised me is that the internals of the 22R were crafted much better than they had to be. I'm not sure what purpose it served, since American engines of that time were very crude and cheap by comparison, but generally lasted a long time in spite of abuse and neglect. The American engine might not always have RUN well, but rarely disintegrated. Sometimes cheap and tough is a good thing.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 07, 2009 10:04 am) Rough and rugged. Unlike Italian or British cars - those disintegrated frequently or were they just very fragile Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 07, 2009 10:47 am) british_rover (Nov 07, 2009 11:11 am) Mr_Shiftright (Nov 07, 2009 11:53 am)
