engines
As far as I know the 3aj engine had the following modifications with respect to the 1VJ:
- Kickstarter was removed. However, the casings and the head have all the right openings etc, so it can be easily taken from the 1vj engine and put in. Certainly a good idea because it enables you to start when all electrics have gone. On this engine you do not need a battery to run.
- Larger oil pump, 30% more capacity. Also good to have.
- Gearbox with some mods to make it more durable. Also good, though not the ultimate answer to the problem. There is none, by the way.
- Carb on 1vj is tuned overrich. For the largest part because of the intake system / airbox. Plug the two silly hoses above the cilinder head and just remove the maintenance cover for the air filter. This way there is more air coming in from a better place, not just above the hot head.
