I've just started a thread on the Aussie forum and would like some feed back if you guys have any info that would help. It's about 3L head replacement on the 2.4s and which gasket to use. If you have done the conversion I would like info on which gasket (part number if possible) you used and if you know of any differences between the various gaskets available.

I dont think the 3.0 SURF head fits the 2.4 EFI Block.

3L is the engine code for the 2.8 engine.

3 is the generation, L is the family

2.4s are 2LTE (second generation, L type, turbo, EFI)

3.0s are 1KZTE (first generation, KZ type, turbo, EFI)

In short Richard, yes, you're right. The 'modified' 2.4 head is just the standard 2.8 head. Preusumably the updating of the design happened during the change from 2nd the 3rd generation 'L' engine.

But its not the 2.4 The point was does a 3.0 head fit a 2.4 not a 2.8head

Hopefully any sensible suggestions will get posted on Nev's thread on the Aussie site.

Nev wants to know what gasket is used and part no. when the 2.4 head is replaced with the 3l 2.8 head not the 3.0 head

hehe.

the 3.0 head

Which as we all know is a 1KZ/TE, not a 3L.
