I replaced the oil pump cover gasket, distributor o ring and the front crankshaft seal.. I replaced the oil pump cover screws as well. Crankshaft seal probably not necessary but while you have everything apart it just makes sense. Once i had those above gaskets installed all the leaks went away!!

Very interesting. I will be sticking with my usual Rotella 15w40.

Yes it was. And after purchase and receiving the vehicle (I’m out of state) and doing a full inspection here at my home, I found this to be an absolute tumor of a 80. Been in not one but 2 accidents. They disclosed no accidents. The repairs were something I’ve never seen before. Tijuana special...

Is this due to climate reasons, curious as to why. How many miles on the rigs ?

I personally love the 15w-40 rotella and been using that in multiple 80s ive owned and always great. I think i may just keep it that way and not fix something that isn't broke. I 'm regular on OCI and always use OEM toyota filters. So think the 'ol girl might be A ok with some Rotella.

Hey guys, Have an oil inquiry. I'm planning on picking up an all original 97 LX450 w/ 89k miles.. What oil would you guys recommend running in here to get the max longevity out of this 1FZ-FE? On my other 80's I run Rotella 15w-40 for yrs and its been perfect, but they usually have anywhere...

@BTLSHP @ajax1 Thanks guys. I'm on it now. Yea that 38mm nut is grim for sure..

Hey guys, I have a 97 LC and throwing the pesky P0401 code. It’s actually showing a 2 separate codes on reader but both as P0401. Never seen a duplicate code. Anyhow it’s in a smog state so need to figure our son easy steps on how to test the modulator in pic. Can I blow air thru one end or...

Yes was actually planning to do exactly that to make it more clear.. Once I do that I will post up those pics.. Thanks everyone for chiming in and helping out!

Great info! I think i will dive into just doing the oil pump cover gasket first.. The timing cover is just simply too big to get into at present time and i feel its pandoras box at that point. As mentioned truck runs great and just don't want to screw that up.

Took it to Certified Japanese Auto Repair in Lake Forest.. Not sure I would trust them with the job though..

Yes exactly my issue.. The while you're there scenario, turns into a freakin fiasco!! And i'm trying not to open pandoras box since the truck runs great and don't want to mess with it too much.. Just annoying with the leak is all.. But good call @Augustiron about maybe just doing the oil pump...

Hey guys, I have a 97 Land Cruiser w/ the 1FZ-FE. Has had a oil leak thats been slowly getting a bigger leak. I took it to a shop and they said it the oil pump gasket but not the front cover but the one behind the timing cover @ the oil pump.. Is it neccesary to remove the head to r&r the...
