Saywhaa 25 hrs to change a starter motor out.?Yeah, not a lot of advantages to swapping in a 1VD, at least not for the usual reasons (torque, economy, simplicity, reliability). The factory quote something like 25 hours to do a starter motor change........
Sits in the vee. Under EVERYTHING: I doubt it takes 25 hours, but a major job nonetheless. Like most things on a 200 series v8 diesel.Saywhaa 25 hrs to change a starter motor out.?
but why? I have a 200 4.5 diesel and an 80 4.2 diesel.Has anyone tried swapping the current 4.5 diesel Toyota V8 into an 80 Series?
Well, it's too bad that Toyota, with all their R&D money, couldn't build a really great modern diesel...but why? I have a 200 4.5 diesel and an 80 4.2 diesel.
The 4.5 is not a successful engine in my opinion, certainly not the gear connected to it.
The engine is unreliable and sensitive

I was going to say about the same thing. They’re so handicapped by emissions and other things, diesels aren’t what they once were.What is this "Great modern diesel" you speak of? Turbodiesel performance peaked about 15 years ago.
I don't have much first hand experience with modern Toyota diesels, but I do with Hino diesel engines. If Toyota and Hino share engine tech I'd run far and fast from any newer Toyota diesel. In the heavy duty off highway world Hino is the absolute worst there is.
