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.
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...
Hey guys,
I took apart the front brake assembly on my 97 LX450.. It had a violent wobble/shake in the steering wheel/front end when braking at 35-40mph.. I suspected wheel bearing were the culprit as potentially warped rotors.. When we had it on a lift the right front wheel had a little play in...
Good to know.. Had no idea that the master controls other switches when it goes bad.. Figured the other switches were solo from the master and if master failed the others would still work..
Well I received no love here on the forum from anyone.. Bit disappointing.. But figured I would share my comments here to the others.. It actually became the master window switch that was faulty causing the pass side not to function.. Now I'm a bit unclear why it would not function by manually...
Hey guys,
Working on my 97 LX450. Pass side window quit working, no up or down.. Replaced the master switch on driver door.. Seemed to work after that.. But only for a couple weeks.. Then quit working again.. Prior to replacing switch the window would roll up n down if i was finicky with...
Hey guys,
I rebuilt my engine and seemingly have lost the bolt for the engine block (1FZ-FE) that the battery ground hooks up to.. Does anyone know that bolt size ?
Thanks in advance
Hey All,
I have a intake manifold with a broken sensor or bung of some sort and unclear if wtf it is or if it’s important and what the part is to replace if so. No wires just a vacuum hose.
Any have an idea of what this dohicker is and what it does?
Thanks you!
I did notice the inside of the timing cover that the timing chain was slapping against it and scored some of the metal inside. Machine shop said it won't be an issue as it doesnt effect the crank seal or any other parts. I'm still on the fence on that. Thoughts on this? I should have taken a pic...
Popped into the machine shop today and the old screws to the oil pump have broken philips bit inside a couple of them. They will get crafty to remove those and i have a set of new oem screws ordered already. I did not see this reply until after i got back from the machine shop, so i will have to...
Hey guys,
I pulled the engine out of our 97 LX450. It's at the machine shop now. Question is this, how would i know if the oil pump, rotor etc would need to be replaced. The oil pump cover has a small piece missing from the cover. Doesnt leak bit will be replacing that cover anyway. When we...
