[QUOTE="bluetoy, post: 287492, member: 569"] There are two types of stock 4cyl pinion bearings, and gear sets. From the factory the '85 and older had a short pinion head and a thick pinion bearing. The aftermarket "4cyl" gears and pinion bearings are this style. Also, the '85 down "4.10's" were actually 4.11's, having 37 teeth on the ring and 9 on the pinion. In '86 toyota went to a longer pinon head and used a shorter pinion bearing to allow for the extra thickness. These longer pinion gears are known as "V6" gears by the aftermarket. In '86 they also switched to a true 4.10 ratio using 41 ring teeth and 10 on the pinion. This diff uses the same carrier bearings as the older style. V6 diffs have a totally different (and stronger) housing, carrier, and bearing kit from the 4cyl , but there was actually no difference in the factory gear sets from the later model 4cyl. They have the same long pinion head gear set as the '86 up 4cyl. All bearings are bigger than the 4cyl and do not swap. '79-'83 used a solid pinion spacer from the factory. '84 up had a crush sleeve. So, in reality there is no "V6" or "4cyl" specific gear sets. Only "long pinion" or "short pinion" . There are two types of 4cyl pinion bearings, pre '85 "thick" bearings or '86 up "thin" bearings. You can use any 8" gear set in a 4cyl housing as long as you have the correct front pinion bearing to match whatever gearset you have. The only way to put short pinion gears in a V6 housing is to add enough shim to make up the difference in pinion thickness. (about .100") Hope this helps. thumb.gif [/QUOTE]
