    Thanks. Like I said, the bottom end on these are so robust that I’m not really concerned about it, especially given its service history. The 11 months of daily use (15,302 mi) produced surprisingly few problems, which I dealt with as they occurred. I was waiting for the oil pump cover, axles...

    Thanks for your thoughts. The while you’re in there stuff can be a whole other issue, I get it. I have an excellent machine shop I use from my trucking days, a head refresh is a no brainer at 150K miles. I could be disassembling a happy motor thats only half way mileage wise to having a problem...

    Glad you understand my thought process. I’m a retired trucker ( owner operator) and had my own shop for my 3-4 truck fleet. I hauled critical time equipment and chemicals,& failure was very costly. Also being an aviator, aircraft maintenance is in my blood. I know am 80 series isn’t a plane and...

    Unfortunately the coolant is green, with the accompanying sludgy stuff in the overflow tank, etc.

    They’re all being refreshed when I do the HG. I don’t like sil for that application

    If you carry the logic of replacing the PHH just because it’s going to go, and when it does it’s bad to the known HG issue, that’s my logic

    The PHH is silicone , I found a receipt in the file for it. I’ll do it as well, it seems to be a rite of passage

    Although they all “look good”, belts and hoses are on the list before moving

    Those are old plates and its no longer there, but thanks. I checked the PHH as soon as I knew what it was, its good. The timing chain guides and HG seem to be the weak points in the 1FZ-FE from what I can tell, I’ll check the guides while I’m in there. probably a lot of other “while you’re...

    I hadn’t made any decision, as it’s a big job. I have now though, since it’s a keeper I’m doing it Thanks

    It is covered extensively, but opinions vary widely. It’s going to happen, but when? Since I plan on keeping it and have the ability and time, I think I’ll do it on my terms, not it’s. Thanks for the feedback

    thanks for the response. A cooling system refresh is on the agenda, as well as engine and trans temp gauges.

    Its that research that brought me to this point

    150K and up looks like when the original fails. Murphys law would dictate it will happen at the worst time, when I’m moving. I can do the work myself, I read the FSM, a lot of work but I won’t have to worry about it for a looong time😎
