True. Toyotas were fitted with starfire engines. Corona x or something like that.

Yeah I call them all harmonic balancers. Fact or Fiction you could buy new con rods that would fit your Holden 6 without machining from Toyota, cheers Aaron.

Fact ?

1X.

What makes a Starfire motor?
The Toyota one is nothing like the Holden one.

They had a trimatic as well behind the slugfire.

Banjo too I think.

[yel327]

I think that was the old 70's Toyota Crown assembled here by AMI that had the banjo. Maybe the 80's Corona did too?

[Shiney005]

Speaking of Crowns, I had no idea they built a ute until I saw this one on an abandoned station south of Balladonia.

They were called Masterline (coupe utility, double cab coupe utility and van) for the S40 (1962-1967-ish). For the S50 the Masterline name continued but was dropped later in the S50 run (about 1967-1971) and the commercials were dropped at the end of S50 to be replaced by the new Hilux. ^^That is an S50.

I remember these things well, but I don't believe that we used the Masterliness badge on the Aussie versions. Also we didn't get the dual cab or the van.

Description/definition of the difference please. 

The Torsional Damper is identified by an annular groove machined into the face of the pulley. Other than that I've got NFI what other physical difference there is between the two types. They look the same to me.

I think you are correct Terry, I remember looking at this stuff when I was looking for power steering boxes for a HK and looking at all the Crowns and I recall thinking i'd never seen a Masterline before but I've also seen bugger all of them prior to the later 70's stuff.

Fiction. Bathurst 1968 and 1969 tossed up with ATCC at Bathurst 1970.
