Yup exactly this for me too. Bottom end bearings were destroyed and the crank unfortunately is cracked. I have been busy with work but still looking for a replacement engine.

Not looking good! Will be pulling it apart further this coming weekend. My only hope is that the crank is ok!

Ok, truck is at the workshop. This weekend I'll be digging into it with a great mechanic and hopefully find the cause!

Its been parked up since those clips. Putting it on a trailer tomorrow (hopefully) and off to the workshop to open up the engine and see what's what.

After giving it some time and receiving a very generous offer I have somewhat of a plan. I'm gonna get it looked at by a trusted mechanic before I pronounce the engine dead. I then have had an offer from the mechanic to supervise and help me rebuild the engine at his shop, I just need to buy...

This is the chunk of belt that was randomly in the spark plug hole. Got it out with some jdm chopsticks

Thanks for the advice! I just realised the power steering pump doesn't run off a belt on the 1fz! It's running full synthetic 10w30 with moreys oil stabilizer. Oil was done recently around 100km ago. I dont know if I mentioned but the rear 2 ignition leads have electrical tape around the stems...

I'm not sure if I should drive it like this at all :(

Unfortunately I think its shot. I got hopeful when I found a chunk of the old belt sitting in the spark plug hole which made me laugh. I thought it may have stopped the lead going on fully. So I checked all the plugs, even swapped back in the old ones (different type), took the belts off but...

Also forgot to mention, there is a weird boost like bump in power at certain rpm. For example with 60% throttle and steady acceleration it will feel like it really takes off around 2000rpm...

The power steering pump is leaking a fair amount but yea crossing my fingers basically. Is there any adjustment of timing in the ignition coil 1fz?

Yea, I'll begin the process of elimination tomorrow. Will check the plugs etc too incase one isn't seated properly... Being an Aussie cruiser we don't have ODB2 :( It doesn't appear to be overheating, no white smoke etc - its running just water at the moment (prev owner) was about to do the...

Cogged, no where to get Toyota belts here unfortunately. If the noise is gone with them off ill check all the pulleys, put my new waterpump in and get Toyota belts.

Here's the video, this was before I tightened the belts. There was no squealing. Also I should add it's running on 95 octane and I'm in central Australia so pretty warm weather.

Hey all, This is actually in a 1998 FZJ105 with 330,000km but I though I would post it here as there are more 1fz-fe owners in this neck of the woods. Backstory - Purchased a rough 105 and set out to do all the maintenance on it and bring it back to its former glory. So far on the engine I...
