I bought a whole pallet of 4a, s from rising sun engine reconditioners for $40, I dismanteled a low KM 4AFE with a spun rod bearing,I dismantled and ported, polished and faced the head.
then one saturday I droped the sump, pulled the head off, changed the pistons to 4af pistons (they have machining to allow valve clearance), honed and reasembled using my original rods.
fitted 4af head, re fitted cam belt reasembled. had to use denso electronic dizzy.
lengthen temp sender wire and coil power to new distributer.
I bought a carby manifold. used my tricked up carby i had on my 4 AC
[*]4ac has inlet exhaust same side (at firewall) 4AF is cross flow exhaust at front.
I am a qualified mechanic, my brother also did his apprentiship at a Toyota Dealership when the AE82 was new, so i borrowed his toyota school manuals.
new top radiator hose is required on a AE82.
I sold this car about 5 years ago.
