Yeah, you usually have to adjust the idle screw... 900 is a bit high - I set mine at about 800, but I don't have a power steering or aircon idle up anymore on the pump, so setting it a bit higher helps. If you don't have any slack in the cable, follow it's path and look for an opportunity to...

Bugger... I've had mine back as far as .9 as well. You will notice a significant improvement in performance advancing it. Do you know if the pump has been off at any stage? All I can say is the first time is the hardest... 👍

Yeah, it's one of the worst engines for tuning the boost compensator (aneroid pin or star wheel). I can get the top of the compensator off without removing the intake manifold and rotate the aneroid pin, but to actually remove the pin and reinsert, you really need to remove them intake manifold...

Hey mate, I've changed the timing again since this... I installed the static timing advance spacer from Nick Steggel in the UK (I HIGHLY recommend his product, it is incredible for maintaining the top end and getting the engine to stretch it's legs). I am currently at 1.19, but I'm thinking of...

A few different options... Dave Stedman at 4x4Japan is pretty knowledgeable on them. You can also get rebuild kits from a mob in the UAE called MAG Engines. You can see a full rebuild I did of my 14BT in one of my posts.

3BII - precursor to the 14B. Bloody good little engine and they even have a sump without wings, which can be a pain when installing a 14B.

I had it custom made by a guy in Indo... Did up a YouTube video:

Cheers mate Thanks for that Dan... I just wasn't sure if there would be any issues because the Dynas didn't have the H55F box, but I think I'll just bite the bullet and order one and see how we go. 👌

Cheers mate 👌

Hey mate, I need to replace my clutch in my 14BT and I was wondering if you knew which clutch you used in yours? I've got a H55F box behind mine as well. I did have a look back through your posts, but I couldn't see if you had any part numbers? Thanks Mate P.s. I've done a few videos of my...

So, a bit of an update... I think I was barking up the wrong tree with the pump surging. I think I wrote in a previous post that the issue is a bit like the clutch slipping, and guess what - I think the clutch is slipping. I went up to our property a couple of weekends ago and was trying to...

Still haven't had a chance to talk with Josh at JH Hilux yet... Pump is good some days (no surging) and then surging the next. Can't find any pattern to it unfortunately.

Mine goes "beep" actually... 🙄

And how would you go about doing that? The last time I rebuilt my 14BT I used a digital torque wrench and recorded the final two 90 degree torque measurements to see what the actual torque would be. Perhaps you could then retorque to those measurements, but I thought that once TTY bolts stretch...

Yeah, that's my next port of call... I live close to Josh from JH Hilux, so I'll have a chat to him.
