The Awesome Older Generation Picture Thread

I was under the impression that the Cams were gear driven? I haven't taken my engine apart yet lol.. That comes later ;)

 

There is a gear inbetween the crankshaft and camshaft, the crankshaft turns the gear which in turn; turns the camshaft. The camshaft pushes lifters which push the "pushrods"; which operate the rockerarms; controlling the valves.

got the lifters and pushrods backwards. xD

Yes, that is what I am talking about.

 

Just like the old Landcruiser motors.

WAIT! so ea81's are not ohc? and i know that ea82's are, so witch one of the two motors makes more power/torque/is cheaper to maintain?

 

They are ohv. The ea82s make more power and torque, the ea81 is cheaper to maintain.

Yes, EA81s are OHV with Pushrods. They probably make about the same power/torque being that they are both 1781cc motors.

 

I personally think either motor is easy and cheap to maintain. Getting the correct parts for an EA81 is tuff sometimes (Just getting to old)

No. There are two gears. One on the crank, and one on the cam. It's directly driven off the crank, and therefor, turns the opposite direction.

 

Stolen from Idasho's rebuild thread:

The crank gear is hiding behind the flywheel mounting flange.

Lol know how you learn something new every day? Guess I forget some things every day. :-p

Being that I didn't have a photo on hand at the time I was just going off of memory.

 

I've taken these things apart numerous times.

Heres a link to the ea81 I refurbished in my Brat (post 54):

Loyale2.7Turbo, some of them have indeed come from your thread, but that is because they are so cool they have to be shared more. :) I think the ratio of pictures not from that thread to pictures from that thread is pretty great though.

 

 

Wish I had a welder. :(
