New block inbound! Toyota agreed something failed, either the oil journal was clogged in #7 or a piece of debris from machining got into the journal. If other bearings were damaged or any other damage was done then it would be on me. Thankfully Toyota stands behind their product and was very...
I don’t know for sure. The bearing spinning is for sure the failure just don’t know what caused it. Even the spun bearing had oil on it along with crank journal. Going to talk with Toyota, all the other bearings had plenty of oil so its just odd that one decided to spin. I have seen severely...
The bearing spun and dug into the crank and block and main cap side. It was caked up with Babbitt from the bearing chewing up. Kinda fussed together. So weird only on one bearing?
Yes main crank bearings.
what’s your advice?
Well found the culprit #7 main spun a bearing. Not sure how just one bearing would get spun and everything else has zero damage I mean not a Nick on a piston skirt or any other bearing. Not looking good, the main cap is Grooved along with the block. Might be able to line bore and do over sized...
Will need to rethink my start up procedure to make sure the pump pulls. I primed the pump per FSM through the timing cover. And everything was pre lubed with oil on the piston Skirts and bearings. Will Inspecter pick up tube and relief valve and all oil passages that I can get it without pulling...
Yah I’m not sure what would cause it to not flow everything is getting torn down to check rings and all bearings. Maybe the relief was stuck open. I never inspected it because it was a brand new timing cover with new oil pump included.
Will get it torn down after the kiddos are asleep it’s family movie night and for some reason my family thinks that takes priority over land cruisers! It’s definitely seized from lack of oil, the oil pump was primed but did not distribute oil through out the motor. The oil cooler was bone dry...
Agree I don’t know how either. the truck sat for 3 years, towed to my shop on a flat bed rolled in and it’s been about 3/4 months I have been chipping away at it. I checked all the fluids and everything is tip top.
Plus side is I got a new main engine harness in the mail I can throw in and...
