Toyota 1GD-FTV and 2GD-FTV Gasket

The new Toyota Hilux in Malaysia market which come with 2.4l and 2.8l variant of engine is under Toyota engine code 1GD-FTV and 2GD-FTV, although it is under different engine code, their engine gasket kit is basically interchangeable, for other country, it may also having in Toyota Innova, Forturner and also Landcruiser model.

The cylinder head gasket also have few thickness of choice, which having mark -A0, B0, C0, D0 and E0 at the end of their OEM part number with -A0 is thinnest ans -E0 is thickest, and the type of thickness can be seen on the cylinder head gasket, with how many holes mark the gasket is in which thickness.

Normally, it is known that Toyota genuine parts gasket kit set is come without the cylinder head gasket for most of their diesel engine model that using metal cylinder head gasket, but for this 1GD-FTV and 2GD-FTV gasket kit, we found that the cylinder head gasket is include in the set but valve stem seal is excluded in the set.

Nissa R06A Engine

The engine code of R06A, which I think should be a Nissan engine code for their Nissan Kei car model, is one of the mystery engine for me who stay in Malaysia.

Using in Nissan NV100 Clipper Rio model, the R06A engine code can be also found in some of the Suzuki model like Alto, Every Wagon, Spacia, Lapin and Hustler.

But in the latest issue of Japanese Motor Vehicles Guidebook, interestingly to found some Mazda and Mitsubishi small car model also using R06A engine.

Mazda having model like Scrum Wagon, Flair Wagon, Flair Crossover and Carol, as for Mitsubishi having their Town Box model with this engine. And there are a number of mini truck model using this engine as well.

Will I meet this engine in Malaysia market someday?
