You get it :clap: This has taken me well over 2 years of work. It could've been done faster but I honestly didn't have the time since I also have a different full time job. It's also a fairly large money commitment to buy large quantities of...
I believe this is a diesel engine and the usual suspected oil leaks for the 1fzfe won't apply here. I'm not versed in the 1hd or any diesels from land cruisers so I'm not much help. Sorry.
I know others have commented but, I wanted to throw my hat into the ring. Imagine how long it will take you to come up with the idea, locate all the parts you wish to use, and then design the system so that it will fit within a logical space in...
We might try it on a S/C truck, but that one sees little miles, so probably not much feedback in a useful timeframe.
As for the WTF comment above: 🙄. Development of new parts costs time and money. Regular Cruiser parts cost money, they always...
Is it me or is that oil awfully dark immediately after an oil change? The sound of the engine doesn't sound very good to me either.
With that location I would first look to the crank oil seal, I doubt it is the distributor or the valve gasket...
Be very careful when ordering from Nitro (just diffs), a bunch of us did this late last year and our CCs were hacked. Mine for almost $7k. Here is the thread...
There's no doubt that ten years ago I could man handle the Diffs, as a avid surfer/construction worker I was quiet strong. But I'm turning 65 this year and after a major surgery 11/2 years ago I never fully regained my strength 😩
I do pride...
I'd get a better mechanic. :)
If you're looking for vacuum leaks, consider a smoke test. I'd hope a pro shop has a smoke testing machine. I find that a very useful tool for identifying vacuum leaks. There are so many places that you can get a...
I am not so sure about this. Elk are large critters. Cows will be upwards of 600 lbs large bulls can be over a 1,000 depending on time of year. Their body mass is also very high. Unless it was a smaller cow or calf, I think body damage would be...
