    Default 3t heads differences

    I brought a t18 which has the head replaced at some stage head has no pollution gear on it. It also came with the original head that has pollution gear and the rocker covers are differant as i brought a t18 one and its for the groove in the cover, the cover on it has no goove.
    What would this other head be off?
    Would there be any other differances than what iv noticed?

    The only T series motors sold in Australia were:

    2T 1600cc motor in the TA22 Celica, circa 1972
    2T 1600cc motor in the TA23 Celica, 1976
    3T 1800cc motor in the TE72 T18-SE, 1979-1982 or whenever

    If you find differences in the castings, then you may have a 2T Celica head. I don't think there is heaps of difference. I have both a 2T and a 3T head in the back shed, to give away.

    Other differences could be due to random junk that has been imported over the years, such as the 12T and 13T very similar motors. T motors came in heaps of Japanese cars in the 70s- early 80s but we only saw a few of them.

    When I was chasing a rocker cover gasket for my old 3t Toyota showed that there was an early rocker cover and a late rocker cover for the 3t. No idea what the difference was other than one had the groove that you are referring to and the other did not.
