Listers,
 Toyota spent 6 years (on a 3 year plan) to get this engine certified. There was
very little of the original engine left by the time it reached it's final form.
Toyota has intentions of producing their own aircraft. After spending 6 years and
untold millions of dollars on the Lexus V-8, they have decided to use Lycoming
engines in their proposed new aircraft. That speaks volumes!!
