primarily for conversation...
seeing as the 2AZFE has assumed the role of replacement for the 5SFE, and it is similar in application and displacement....how feasible/worthwhile is a swap in your opinion? i got to thinking about it because it is a much better 6-speed option than the peaky, fragile 2ZZ. based on a quick browse on ebay, the highest price i found for the motor itself was $1700. and for pete's sake, don't be obnoxious. -------------------- do you know who i am, mr. worley? |

Hehe... everything is technically "forged"... which is just a process of heating metal... but 'forged' as in not molded/cast from a master mold... no they aren't. You can tell by tool marks. Cast parts always have tool marks while 'forged' parts do not. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

Cast parts always have tool marks while 'forged' parts do not. i think you have that backwards, a Forged piston is machined from a solid piece of metal, a cast one is cast to the rough shaped and then cut to specs. forged is stronger than cast because the structure of the metal is uniform throughout, theres not casting flow following edges of the pieces. Forged and i did mispeak, its the 2RZ-FE with the forged steel rods. R and A look kind of similar sometimes and things got confused.
