Hi guys I just bought myself a factory turbo sahara for a fair price,it needs some work but I was expecting that,when I got it home I noticed the whole motor and head are painted a light blue colour,any of you blokes know if toyota paints there motors this colour,I thought they were usually black,im just thinking its been recoed at some stage,a little bonus I wasnt expecting,if anyone can help out that would be great.
cheers bob

Cant say Ive ever seen a blue Toyota motor ? But if the tappet cover and all the ancilliary gear is painted the same colour then it is very unlikely to be a reconditioners.
but are you saying that you didnt look under the bonnet til you got home!!! Should be at least under there checking that the numbers match the papers but!

There's a Japanese firm that has developed a camera with a shutter speed so fast it can actually catch an Aussie with his mouth shut.

I've seen plenty of 2H motors (basically the same donk NA) that are blue from the factory.
If the whole thing is blue maybe it has had a new/reco engine.

The 12 HT and 2H are painted blue from the factory exept the rocker cover.
The 1HZ and its turbo derivates are painted black
