First off, your coming off to rude in your posts. To me your demanding information instead of requesting it. The Beams community is a small community and information is scarce. I've been praised on several occassions about the maturity and non hostile style of our group, and I would like to keep it that way. If you want cold hard facts on something specific, you might not get them because people might not have the chance to take a greytop and redtop (or afford them both for that fact) and compare them.
Second, Mandalay simply asked if you were doing something and you jumped back with what you said above, if you don't want to tell him that's your business, but tell him in a nicer way.
Third, many of our members here have purchased sw20 beams clips. They are not dumb.
4th, the information is out there. If you check the Beams site and compare part numbers of the greytop and redtop cams, you will find that they are the same. So is the headgasket, valves, rods, etc...
You will notice some part numbers that are different too which is beyond me. There is a big possibility that the numbers have changed over the years. I am 99.9% sure that the redtop part numbers are correct. Working closely with a fellow Beams member we have had the chance to double check and confirm with Toyota just about every single part number for the Beams. Trust me, this took forever.
As far as the greytop part numbers, they come out of a Japanese Electronics Parts program and I would guess they are 75% correct. Toyota likes to change part numbers from time to time. Why? Beats me.
I with I could give you more information, but I can't. Simply because I don't know. I would like to think that if one of our I members knew a snippet of information, they would post it and make searchable by other members. I honestly believe that this forum and the site has just about every piece of information in english collected as humanly possible. Is there more information on these engines out there? Yes, we just have to find it, find out for ourselves, or make an educated guess.
