Hi. I live in Canada and I'm trying to get my hands on a Surf that has already landed here in North America. There aren't too many of these around in my neck of the woods and, since I'm in unfamiliar territory, I have to ask the obvious question...
What's the story with the cracking 2.4L head? Is it as likely to occur as has been suggested? I haven't come across a single 3.0L Surf ... which I've heard carry a superior motor (1KZ-TE, if I'm correct). I'm wondering if it's a gamble to be considering picking up a 2.4L. Also, taking into consideration the import laws here in Canada, was the 3.0L motor available stock in Surfs before 1993? Legislation here requires an imported vehicle to be 15 years old or older.
The vehicle I'm specifically interested in at the moment is a Black 1992 SSR-X wide at 102,000km. Automatic with the 2L-TE. It's been imported from Japan and through the DOT inspection.
Any shove in the right direction is greatly appreciated. I'm very anxious to get my hands on one of these beauties.
Cheers,
Matt from Vancouver
