34L/55W v 1VJ - Engine differences
 

Is there any difference in the engine internals between the two models?

I have an option on brand new head for a 1VJ and wanted to know if it will fit the 34L engine that is awaiting my rebuild?

It looks identical but then I could be wrong!

Cheers

Check bolts
 

If the new head is supposed to have an allen bolt at the front of the tunnel for the distribution chain, it will not fit the 34L cilinder.You'll see your 34L does not have one. For the 1VJ's Yam used both the heads with and without the additional bolts.

Auke

Oh bugger… this means that I either need a 1VJ cylinder or I have to refurbish my 34L head doesn't it?

Excuse my ignorance! If that is the case does anyone want to buy a factory new 1VJ head and rocker, or alternatively sell me a 1VJ cylinder

:funmeterno: :(

Another excuse my ignorance, but what does that bolt do? And is there a work round?
