Talk:Toyota 3S-GE engine

Merge with Toyota A engine
Wikipedia is a not a tuner knowledge base. The pertinent information here should be merged with the Toyota engines page and the rest deleted. --Tysto 06:00, 2005 August 21 (UTC)

Even if this is the case, I would not recommend merging it the Toyota A engine page. --Dan 00:45, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Most of the knowledge in this article is of no interest to a tuner. It is general vital knowledge about how the engine works, more suitable to mechanics than anything what you refer to as tuners. --Dublet 23:18, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

This is about an engine that is specifically for sports cars so I think it is of interest to tuners, and I think it shuold definitely have its own page. MISAEL —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.143.77.120

If there is more information wanted on a certain topic should that information not be provided because they are "Tuners"? That's like saying there shouldn't be information on skis for the skiers. Wikipedia is a great site to look up just about anything. Keep it that way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Generation_Two on 22 September 2008

I think he meant it should be merged into Toyota S engine. The Toyota A engine is quite unrelated apart from being made by Toyota and also being in some of the same cars. Personally I prefer to keep related information together (which would agree with merging the articles) but the 3S-GE article is big enough to stand on its own and would clutter up the main S engine article. The main S article has an appropriate link to the 3S-GE article and the information here is similar to what is on most engine pages, so I'd just leave it as it is. Cheers.

 * For: If this variant is to have its own page then so should the others, or is there little to say about them. I think at the moment it would be better to keep everything together and leave this as a re-direct page. The main page would then more obviously flag the differences in engines which is probably of most interest to readers. Also, as nothing significant has been added in the article for over 12 months, is there much else to say. I think there is a good case for merging the articles and have added flags to try to open up the discussion. Malcolma (talk) 08:49, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Merge with Toyota S engine
It has been suggested that the 3S-GE and 3S-GTE articles be merged into the Toyota S engine article. No conclusion was reached in 2008. Comments? Please refrain from making major changes until some form of consensus has been reached.  Stepho  (talk) 04:06, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * For Definitely, this article is entirely extraneous. Bdc101 (talk) 19:32, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

For From the article:
 * The crankshaft, located within the crankcase, rotates on five aluminium alloy bearings and is balanced by eight weights.

As opposed to a crankshaft located in the trunk? And what else would the bearings of a 20th Century production engine be made of? It should be rewritten in a concise fashion, then merged with the S-motor article. If the 50-plus year old Chevrolet Small-Block engine, with over a dozen variants, can make do with one article, surely the Toyota S can do the same. HuntClubJoe (talk) 01:43, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm going ahead with a merge, it's been five years and five months without anyone making a single pertinent reason to keep this a separate article. Cheers,  ⊂&#124; Mr.choppers &#124;⊃   (talk) 17:06, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
