I do beleive I have a PDF manual to suit your beasty. Where in Brissy are you located or what area you work in?

Engine number is located on the engine block left drivers end. Towards the flywheel end I beleive.

thats nice to know about the repair manual

probably just need torque specs if it needs motor work

I know I have to do a timing belt ?

Can that be done with the motor in ........

brissy inner northside is where I am

After I clean the motor I should be able to see that number

thanks for your reply

update

I cleaned of the area at the gearbox/flywheel end

and found 8 numbers stamped on what looks like the alloy

gearbox housing tight up against the block

is that the engine number or should it have letters and numbers

if this isnt the engine number where else would I look

thanks

That particular engine is a 4AC, if you have to be pedantic it is a 4ALC (the L in Toyota-speak means east-west/transverse mounting, so it won't get confused with north-south/longitudinal RWD applications like the AE71 and AE86)

The engine number should look something like this: 4Axxxxxxx, where the x's are numbers.

thanks ... will keep cleaning and looking

well I found the engine number

It was hiding behind the starter motor

hard to see the bottom number but it does start with 4A etc
