    Throttle issue and electrical issue on 92

    There is 92 that I am thinking of taking a look at it. It's a couple of hours away. It sounds like it's in pretty good shape but the owner mention two issues that I was wondering about. He said that sometimes on cold days it doesn't idle up the way that it should. He thinks the problem might...

    I talked to torfab and they think that it probably needs the engine replaced. If someone wants them to do it the first opening they have is in August. I am about to list this under trades.

    This picture is from last summer. I was putting together some pictures to post this for sale and I noticed that the half moons look the same. The work there would have been done in 2012 by a different shop.

    I am still trying to figure out why there was a second oil leak. The shop that did the valve cover seal said that the reason that the seal blew out was because there was a clogged PVC valve. Could the PVC valve also have caused the oil Galley plug to blow out? What would cause an oil Galley plug...

    We would probably trade for any Land Cruiser with the back sliding windows. It would not have to be pretty.

    I'm willing to consider that. Any suggestions about how to get our truck to you?

    I love the idea of doing this but I'm not sure if it's financially feasible in our situation. It's the only vehicle that we have which makes the whole thing complicated.

    I will see what I can do about pictures and a video. We can't afford to put in a new engine so hopefully I can get some local people from this group to take a look at it soon. My family had a lot of unexpected bills this winter and we just can't afford any type of major repair now. Please feel...

    We got some bad news yesterday. Mike at Superb Import Service in Mount Vernon looked at it yesterday and he says the engine is shot. I wish I'd known about him before. He comes highly recommended and is extremely knowledgeable about Land Cruisers and easy to talk to. He put 5 quarts of oil in...

    We got a recommendation for another mechanic from a neighbor who has an 80 series. We're making arrangements to get our truck towed into that shop. The owner work for Toyota for over 20 years and has a lot of experience with Land Cruisers. I will let you all know what he says. Thank you for your...

    Just to clarify, there was a miscommunication between the owner of the shop and the person that I talked to on the phone he told me that we might have a cracked block. The owner never thought that.

    Here's another picture of what looks like sealant rather than a gasket. And isn't there a bolt missing in the last picture?

    I talked to the mechanic. He is one of two brothers that owns the shop. He said that the PVC valve was bad and that that's why the gasket blew. He said there's no connection between that and the leak from the timing cover. I didn't ask him about the gasket because I'm still trying to decide what...

    I just talked to somebody at the shop and they are saying it's the timing cover gasket. The price would be about $700 to fix it. If anybody can tell me how to take a picture of that so you guys can take a look at it it would be great. Also if that is the problem we aren't going to be able to...

    The coolant looks fine. Not milky or soupy at all. And the level is fine. The two half Moons definitely look different from each other.

    The engine had been degreased after they finished the valve cover seal. It was driven about six miles after that.
