Have you been able to figure anything more out? I have a very similar sounding issue. New OEM block, head rebuild, all gaskets the works. Only thing I can think of is that the gears under the timing cover were nicked, even tho I didn’t visually see anything. Same boat as you having poured...

So you did a complete rebuild and then had this noise, leading you to reopen and replace the crank & oil pump drive gears correct? I’m just wanting to clarify because I am in that boat. New OEM block and full rebuild, and have this exact same noise on startup. Noise is there with PS pump...

Has the coolant temperature sensor fix held up? I have been chasing something similar in my new to me 1995 FZJ80 (1FZFE). Identical clicking noise as your video, and more importantly inconsistent firing upon startup. I went and inspected the sensor on my truck and noticed that the connector...

One more success story following this recipe, cheapo Amazon kit and diagram in previous post. I ran the brown wires through the door, under the gauge cluster, and tapped into two wires on the hazard light switch harness. One brown wire tapped into the green/yellow and the other brown tapped...
