…replaced Fuel filter + sedimenter switch and both O-rings Priming pump head Engine bay fuel lines incl. returns and new clamps Started yesterday at ~45 F after priming from 3x 10 second cranks and purred like a sewing machine for 30 minutes. Bled air at injectors. 3 hours later took 2 pumps...

Hello, I’ve been lurking on here for a while and have picked up some really good info to help improve my LJ70 Mines a UK supplied 1992 LJ70 with a 2L-T engine, its about 175,000 miles, the engine has been serviced by a landcruiser specialist and I’m told is sound, its had some work done by...

I own several landcruisers and always liked the look of the 70 series. I am shopping for diesel and manual transmission. Are there ones to avoid.

I just picked up an '87 LJ70, 2L-T, and I'm running into issues... 1. The glow plug light doesn't stay on more than 2 seconds and then I'll hold it for about 30 seconds before trying to turn over and it won't start the first time I can usually get it to start on the 2nd or 3rd attempt. But even...

Just got a 'new' (for me to play with) 1989 LJ73 from Spain imported through a dealer in Orlando. 118k miles, no rust, all original stuff. Engine looks pretty clean except for a few wet spots left rear near oil filter and under turbo. I sprayed degreaser to clean and dry off areas to see where...

First oil change on the 70 series. Had a bit of a rough go. Got it all back together and realized that the plug was leaking. Added a rubberized washer and managed to minimize oil loss in the process even though my hands kinda paid the price with hot oil. Still leaking a bit though. Seems...

I have several parts from a 2L-T engine that I disassembled. I won't rebuild because it needs a new head, I feel is not worth it rebuilding it. Valve cover Crankshaft Crankshaft pulley Valves Crankshaft Valves Rocker Block Pistons Flywheel Manifold Oil pump Oil cooler Oil Pan And few more...

Hi all, For the past few months my friend and I have been rebuilding a slightly modified 3L with a CT20 turbo and 2LT exhaust manifold +intercooler in a 1990 LN106 Hilux crew cab. Some time in March the truck broke down while on the highway. After a compression test, the compression numbers for...

Hi, I have this cylinder head for sale: Toyota 2L 2LT 2L-T diesel cylinder head - auto parts - by owner -... - https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/d/seattle-toyota-2l-2lt-2l-diesel/7267258297.html This fits the original 2L-T (not 2L-TE). I tried returning it, but due to COVID, all shipping...

so i just bought a 1991 Toyota surf with an alternator issue. so far i have got the alternator rebuilt(because we don't have them in Canada and would have to order a new one from japan or Australia) and i got 2 new battery because the old ones were hooped, got them tested. i got the alternator...

Just acquired 2 new Land Cruisers that need some work. One is an 87' BJ71 (trying to figure out which motor is in this one as there's not a lot of markings) and the other is an LJ70 with the 2L-T (I know there's 2 versions of this and I'm assuming this is the earlier model). I've bought them in...

Hi everyone, This is my first post here on IH8MUD. I have been successfully wrenching (thanks to forums like these) on a few Toyotas ( 95 T100 5vz-fe w/ 459km on it, and more recently a 85 Hiace Pickup 2L with 92km) now for a while. I find much of the information here useful and I am hoping to...

i've got a 1990 hilux surf with a 2L-T in it, and i'm trying to diagnose why the glow plugs aren't heating very effectively. when i turn the key i hear the relay click, i get 10 volts to glow plug rail for about 8 seconds, then i hear the relay click off and there's no power at all. is this...

So unfortunately my starter is going bad and I have to order a new one, probably the solenoid. Most days it will start fine, but on cold days when it takes that just little bit of an extra crank it will crank and then it sounds like the starter disengages from the flywheel and just spins freely...

Has anyone used the Fuel Injectors off this website? I mean its a difference between $300-$400 for a set to $100 for a set. Problem is it's DHL and won't ship to my FPO address (I think) but it's almsot a deal i can't pass up with a leaky injector already. Toyota 3L Diesel Injector 093500-4042...

Hello all. Up for sale is my '86 Land Cruiser with 43k original miles. This truck is a JDM model and was imported to the States a couple years ago. Supposedly it belonged to one of Toyota's lead engineers in Japan and was purchased from his estate sale. A "major" service, which included timing...

Dear all, I've tried to follow as much of the forum's advice as possible as I've made investments in my LJ70 intended to make it a reliable daily driver and expedition vehicle. It has been an expensive journey so far as I live overseas and have had to rely on other mechanics instead of my...

Hi all, Coming from the VW diesel world where there is passionate debate about the merits of pre vs. post-turbo EGT probe reliability, my usual mechanic balked at a post-turbo install (he's a friend as well). Are there any easy to get to and robust locations for pre-turbo EGT probe installation...

I am starting a new thread to outline some of the differences between the 2L-T and the 2L-TII. My original 2L-T had 300,000 km on the clock and so I decided it was time to drop in a new engine. I saw a "2L-T" with R151F attached for sale in the next state over from a JDM Importer for 2K...
