The mechanic told me there was metal in the oil pan. So I think we are planning for the worst but they don’t have availability to open it up fully to inspect and potentially rebuilding for a few months.
Well I finally took it in for the major maintenance needed (Timing belt and BEBs).
Surprised to find some significant bearing failure. Will need an engine out rebuild. Probably won’t get to drive it for another 3-6 months.
Wondering if I bought it with issues or I could have prevented it...
Put in a few hundred kilometers on my stock truck since getting gauges installed (on 35 tires and without towing or AC). Numbers seems pretty healthy/safe.
pre turbo EGT max 1150f
boost upto 11psi
coolant temps upto 185f
Fuel and air filters done. 3D printed cup holders and weather tech mats in. Got a GPS speedometer.
Gauges ready to install. Legendex exhaust ordered. Will look at coolant system, timing belt and AC next.
Thanks all
Trying to figure out cooling components on my new 91 Hdj81. I wonder if there are any upgraded replacement radiators for auto Hdj81 which can cover the transmission cooling to?
Hey all.
I bought a Hdj81. Should be here middle of next week. It’s my first LC, diesel and turbo (1hdt with 150,000 miles).
Any simple things (I’m a Neanderthal when it comes to cars) I should plan on doing ASAP to keep it running reliably?
Thanks
