roscoFJ73 replied to the thread Please explain how the vacuum tank on 3B works?.I dont know about your electric pump. I was referring to the OEM pump that was originally there -
roscoFJ73 replied to the thread Please explain how the vacuum tank on 3B works?.Yes, the pump should have a built in valve that senses how much vacuum is in the tank. When there is enough it stops making vacuum. Diesels don't make a lot of vacuum in the manifold , this is why they have the vacuum pump . Its also why your...

roscoFJ73 replied to the thread Diesel Fuel additive.Well why dont you do your own research and prove they are not adding a lubricant? I know without even looking, big oil companies publish that data on their web sites. I find it hard to believe in the US (or anywhere else) they would falsify that...

roscoFJ73 replied to the thread What are your thoughts about driving your own LC on the Dalton Highway in Alaska?.Still a big thing in Oz. Available for almost any vehicle sold here. This is a 79 series Landcruiser stone guard for models with factory snorkel. Trucks doing long distance runs almost always have one.

Sad.
Literally. On the Dempster we found screws on the floor or in the stove “pan” every time we stopped. Valances falling off, drawers, which were supported at the rear by a 1x1 slat stapled to the underside of the counter, collapsing. Oven burners... -
roscoFJ73 replied to the thread What's a RHD (not an HZJ72) worth? Already imported.This is what I believe is an LJ72 . A mid wheel base body joined to a light duty 70 series front. Mainly seem to pop up in eastern Europe. It has front and rear coils in case you were wondering.

There are 72 variants, but not with the 1HZ as far I know. LJ72 is one model I am aware of.

Following up here, my issue did turn out to be my timing belt being out one tooth. I highly recommend rotating 2-4 revolutions after installing to verify position.

roscoFJ73 reacted to AussieHJCruza's post in the thread Cracked Head - Options Going Forward with Like.
The pictures show cracked pre-combustion chambers which is very common and not the source of your issues. The crack between the valves isn't good. Put a 3L style head on it and make sure the cooling system is up to scratch. Then read everything...

roscoFJ73 replied to the thread Toyota Surf 1kz 1999 Uphill issue.Toyota diesels usually have an engine rpm speed test. You put it in neutral and rev it to around 4000 rpm ( I know it sounds high but thats what the 1HZ manual and other say). I dont know the exact rpm for the 1KZ TE. But if you have a manual; it...

Maybe not. But seeing as Toyota has never made any attempt at weight saving “improvements” in a 70 series I’d put good money on it not being the case in this instance

roscoFJ73 replied to the thread What are your thoughts about driving your own LC on the Dalton Highway in Alaska?.Travel trailers, are they what we call camper trailers? They last a lot longer by airing down the tyres, it helps stop them from rattling themselves to pieces. Heavy duty trailers that can handle bad roads day after day cost big $$$

roscoFJ73 replied to the thread 1HZ HZJ73 Exhaust Removal.When I did a 1hz conversion to a FJ73, my favourite exhaust shop had diagrams of all the landcruiser exhaust systems, so I got him to fabricate the HZJ73 exhaust for me. I could see the over the chassis part was going to be difficult to remove if...

Approx 49mm at the core. The caps are wider than the core proper.

Lol. Asking which oil is best on any auto forum is really asking to stir up some dookie! I'll only offer my personal preference, among my personal cars and my fleet of 17 work vehicles. If I get a car at (or around) 100k miles, I'll just fun...

96% feedback rating.. That's a 4% failure rate, it higher, because a lot of people don't leave feedback, or leave neutral feedback on a negative experience. I'd look for another option.

I would have no hesitation using brass. There's many instances where brass fittings are used in alloy parts such as brass sensors in alloy heads. I'd accept the advice to avoid aluminium fittings. Some metals gall easily with like on like...

roscoFJ73 replied to the thread Losing prime overnight (or sooner) 1HZ.Sure was. The engine would peter out and I had to pump it. I dont know what I did wrong that day. I had the filter on and off 3-4 times.
