Hello all,
I have recently acquired a 1994 FZJ80 that has an engine noise that doesn't sound good. I bought the Cruiser knowing it had an engine noise, but I may have been a bit optimistic. Would anyone be willing to chime in on what may be going or have gone on my engine? I was hoping the valves were just out of adjustment, but the noise seems to have changed from a ticking to a knocking since I bought it. I did drive it from Nebraska to California, and it made that drive with ease but that may not have helped the engine. I'm trying to figure out my next steps on how to diagnose what's wrong and move forward on fixing it. Any help will be appreciated!
The noise seems loudest at idle and I don't hear it all when cruising on the highway.
Thank you,
Craig
