Yea, it was just a cracked gasket. Used some silicon to fix it, because I'm impatient and didn't want to wait for a new gasket to arrive. Haha Yeah i Had some troubles with hoses leaking on the housing as well! I will post some pictures of my truck once it's back on the road!

I think I've got everything sorted. Found this link with tonnes of useful info in it about the 2L-TE!!! http://www.westcoastcruisers.com.au/forums/topic/1084-rebuilding-a-2l-te-engine-toyota-surf-ln130/

Hey GTS, Unfortunately it is leaking on the side that should not be removable.... I think? Just above my finger, in between the block and the non removable side of the thermostat housing.

So Redd, so what your saying is... sort the cooling system! Gotcha! I really like the idea of those big fans. I will be on the lookout for some in the near future. I will definitely get the lower temp thermostat right away though. But first I have a an issues i need to sort first. The...

Wow, that looks pretty sharp nice work man! :cheers: Dave

Thanks guys, Yeah i was thinking about the location of those gauges more and more and I might just move that pyro. Probably just to the right of the instrument panel. Though having this cruiser for a while now I've gotten good at checking gauges every 10 seconds while driving! :)

Hey guys thanks for the reply. I have been lurking on this thread for some time and have read just about every post you have made GTS. So far i have done the following: 1. Removed the entire intake side, replaced all gaskets. 2. Removed the EGR system. 3. Removed the A/C system...

Also, yes fortunately it was sitting full of coolant so hopefully the rusting over will not be an issue.

Thanks for the reply cicak, so you're saying there isn't much point putting the temp sensor in the drain plug location because of the lack of flow. Makes sense... (doh) Looks like I'll be getting one of these then...

Hello everyone, My names David and I'm doing a bit of a re and re on my LJ78. (Its been sitting around for about a year now) I'm hoping the little 2L-TE lasts me at least another year and half until I'm done with university (fingers crossed), then I will have more money to replace the thing...

thanks for the help john

i can't seem to find any literature that talk about the process of bleeding the fuel system on 2lte would it be the same as every other Toyota diesel?

will do thanks Gold Boy

Hey guys, i have recently purchased a 1990 LJ78 SX5 prado and am working out a few problems it has. I have just replaced the priming pump and noticed that it does not have a air bleeder screw on it. How do i get all of the air out of the fuel lines? I have cracked all the injectors and turned...
