Belt covers look toyota ish as the lines look corolla/mr2 ish,

The cam cover is misleading.

It's a 2JZ

I was just about to say its the plug cover off a Volvo motor on a Toyota one

The chap made the cam cover from scratch, it's going in his 940 so he wanted to make it look like it belonged there.

The letters look like the came off an S60 engine.
I guessed it was Toyota when I saw this Soarer engine in a 244

Yeah and i've had the mis firtune to change cambelts often on toyotas.

I can still do a cambelt change on a fiat F.I.R.E. engine in under 15 minutes. Thats fucking sad.

Changing cambelts is easy when you know the engine. It's when you change the waterpump as a precaution that they start taking time.

Its not an XUD engine. They were sub 40 minutes to replace, with the pump. I had special tools made. Its not bragging its too much time with engines.

So he's only ever owned one. Not a white one just the silver one.
