Thanks aha2988. It's never too late! I now also have visual confirmation. That's why I say a "thank you" is almost not enough. BlackWorksInc gets hold of colleagues and looks for someone doing a timing chain. You got the book out, took pics and uploaded them. Between t4r.org and it's members, I...

I did a search for "1gr crank"earlier, and downloaded most of the ones where you can see the wheel. None of them showed what I was looking for, but a few of the pics show that the -2 teeth points in a similar direction as the #2 big end journal.If I do that, the dot is in line with the kew way/...

Hi All I have searched and looked at every picture that I can find, but I just can't find the position that the "crank pick up wheel" should be fitted. I sent the crank into the engineering firm for checking and polishing. They removed the "wheel" without making markings.:gun4: I would...

Hi All I own a workshop in South Africa, and am currently re-building a 1gr-fe motor for a Toyota Prado
