Hi to all. I have solved overcharging after rebuilt alternator was installed including new voltage regulator. And what makes me even more happy is that there is no more tapping sound after installation of injectors👍 engine runs perfect now. Another min 15 years ahead of us with my LC70 😀...

Hi to all , update after weekend. Injectors are out for testing cleaning whatever will be needed after inspection. Plus rebult alternator in but I have prbelm with overcharging. Voltage regulator is toated and what is weird also the lamp in instrument cluster was broken..I had to replace it as...

Hello, unfortunatelly no updates nor progress. I got sick and did not have time and energy to make any progress on the car. And as I dont have it at home but on weekend house it makes it a bit more complicated to proceed with repairs. I just regret that I did not manage to take out injectors...

So update after oil change... I did not know what to expect but all was good. Black oil without any metal shavings at all. I also flushed the engine. So next thing will be the timing of pump when the tool arrives....and injectors check... P.s In the meantime the alternator stopped charging🙃...

Hello I am sending an update after the weekend :) Unfortunately the tool for timing check of the pump did not arrive until weekend so this will be checked later. But I found the marks were not aligned. It was quite difficult do loosen the nut by the engine, and then quite a hassle to rotate...

Hello I can do check only over the weekends mostly as I have the landcruiser in weekendhouse so this will take a little more time. I am collecting you comments and making a list for the weekend analysis😀

It is frustrating as I always try to give the best I can. I can be using it with this "issue" and if engine fails than swap it.... but not really the way I want to do it... I have been saving it for long time now. I will test the injection timing when the tool arrives and hope it will be bad...

Hi. I own this car for approx 15 years now . The sound was always plus minus the same. But now this sound (unfortunatelly on video it is not that noticable) is really different and like metal on metal. That is why I would like to identify what could be faulty. The truth is that this car is...

Hi thank you for advice. Tool ordered. Should be delivered next week. I will check the pump timing then. In the meantime I will check timing marks. Currently it is not that cold .. mostly round 0 Celsius. I dont know if it is safe to warm the engine up when I dont know what is wrong with...

Hello ,. I have a service manual for 2LT engine but when I checked the timing marks they do not correspond with the ones that I have on my engine so it probably not 100% correct. According to manual there is a plunger stroke measuring tool which I do not have to check the pump timing. If...

Hi to all , I have checked the timing belt and it is spot on marks see pictures. Let me know your thoughts.. My plan is to change oil.. and check valve springs... thank you

Hi, I did not check it when it is warmed up as I was afraid if that sound and did not want to make further damage to the engine. I will check the timing and oil needs to be changed anyway. The only thing that I find strange is that this sound is not there right after start but it takes a...

Hi to all, I have noticed a tapping sound on my LC70 with 2.4 diesel engine. The weird thing is that the sound is not present right after start. It takes a while until it starts tapping. I would like to know if anyone has experienced such issue. My plan is to check valves, drain oil and remove...

Thank you . I will check it tomorrow.

Hi to all, I was driving on the road and suddenly my turn signals failed to indicate the direction. If I turn left or right turn signal it turns hazards on. I have checked the flaser unit and even after disconnecting it the problem persists. I have disconnected the turn signal switch and send...
