Who knows much about the 2Y engine

[cat007]

I'm about to buy a van with one in

1800cc?

Anything to look out for?

Its an oldie - 1987....

Its basically a big K motor. Nothing much really goes wrong but they're getting pretty old. Generally gutless and coated in oil. But go forever

[whynot]

my old work had a townace with a 3y in it, 18 years 300,000k and its still going good, the carbie seemed to strangle it badly but it survived many years of 9000rpm, 10,000k+ oil changes and heavy trailer loads. I would say the y series are pretty solid motors.

Well this one's done 330,000km's hahaha

[xsspeed]

I think thats my cue..."its only just run in"

[Brick]

i have one, around 230ish km's on it

did CHCH to queenstown in it which was about an 8hour trip and i used just under 3/4's of a tank

not the most powerful but it never misses a beat

Yeah I forgot to say that it's just run in lol

Actually on carjam it says its a 4Y engine and a 2.2L.....hmmm

I'll have to have a look later today (brought it into work for no other reason than because I can)

[cat007]

Yeah turns out it has a 4Y in it which is a 2.2L?

I thought it went bloody well for a 1.8L hahaha

The 4Y isn't even cross flow LOL

I have noticed the temp gauge doesn't work - it goes to half as soon as you turn the key and doesn't move from there unless on the motorway it seems to drop down to about 1/3

Any thoughts?
