Engine identification numbers are very important for engine repairs. These numbers let mechanics know which parts are compatible with the engine and how to repair the specific model. All engines have serial numbers, and many also include model numbers and other numbers that help identify the engine. Pre- 1971 232 blocks had a 14-1/2 inch bell housing (pin to pin) width. 1970-72 232 & 258 blocks had the 14-1/2 inch bell housing pattern and also some of the 1971-72 258’s had the 14-1/2 inch bell. Toyota engines in general like to have a casting date on the block. That second # above looks like the normal format Y M DD. 6 J 12 is a year ending in 6 (96, 2006?) month J=10th letter=October, 12th day of month. Dunno about the last 3 digits.
The latest reviewed version was checked on 28 March 2019. There are 19 pending changes awaiting review.
- Toyota has produced a wide variety of automobile engines, including inline-four and V6 engines. The company follows a simple naming system for their modern engines: The first numeric characters specify the engine block's generation; The next one or two letters specify the engine family.
