4A-GE engines? what a mess!

[s.bjelke]

Ok her is my problem. ME! I have this crazy spinning sensation everytime I think of 4A-G engines...... It might be the lack of sleep and the classical beer syndrome. But I think I need to clear some things up.

The engine that came stock with the AE86 is what people refer to ass the 16v blue top small port engine, right? Also you talk about ribs, what ever that is , how many "ribs" have the stock AE86 engine then?

Then we come to the AE92 engines, here we have the first generation(88-89) blue top small port engine(with how many ribs???) , ok? am I on the right track?

Then the next generation AE92 engine(90-91) wich is a red\blacktop(?!) bigport? here I have no idea what I'm talking about...

Then the AE101 20v (92-95) silvertop big port?

then the next generation 20v AE111 blacktop bigport.... right...? or?


Ok I will describe my questions in some clearer form.

1. what is with the ribs? what do yuo mean by ribs and what engine has what ribs?

2.the colord tops is from the writing on the camcovers, right? what about the AE92 red/blacktop then( wich I saw used on this forum). And what engines have what colors...?

3. Bigport/small port. This is refering to the intake or what? and what engines have small or big?

4. wtf is wrong with me? I'm going to go eat somthing, then I'll check back here. Hope for some clearifying answers
