    After a few searches I have come to realize that there isn't a lot of choice for major engine parts online for these little trucks. I am in search of head for my s83 daihatsu (1991) . I have found a crack in the head that is on there now and am on a mission to get the truck on the road again. Does anyone out there in mini truck world have a used head for sale (with or without valves etc.) or have any advice regarding the best place to shop for a head?

    My plan had been to replace the intake valves and do a gasket but upon getting it all apart I realized that the head was pretty screwed and I am lucky that I wasn't left dead on the road somewhere. It is absolutely amazing how long it did actually run with such a major issue looming over.

    Long Live The Mini Truck (hopefully) Thanks for any advice in advance.

    You can try "yokohamamotors.net/store/index.html" I think they will sell used engines so possibly you could get a head there.

    Talk to Derek in the parts department at G&R Imports (they're in eastern Missouri):
