Hello all,
I am a relatively new owner of a 1HD-FT motor and and in the process of doing a swap. I come from the 1fz-fe side of things so diesel engines are a new experience for me.
Couple questions for all the diesel guys:
1. Is it a good idea to have a spare head on stand by? I don't need a new one now but I have a line on a reasonably priced brand new head.
2. Is it better to save the $ on the new head and look for another complete 1HD-FT down the road?
3. The engine is out and I'm replacing all the usual parts. I don't think the head gasket has been done. Would you all do this?
4. Other than the usual culprits what would you replace? Should I get new injector lines? That's pretty much the only thing I haven't bought yet.
5. What would you make sure to replace?
Would certainly appreciate the input of @chapel gate @SNLC @OGBeno @Tapage @AussieHJCruza @orangefj45 @Indestructible 47
Thank you all
