I'm considering buying a 1997 80 series with the 1HDT engine. It has 126,000 km on the clock. Based upon reading various threads here, it is a good idea to inspect/replace the BEB's. Can that be done with the engine in the truck? Should the rod bearings also be replaced at the same time...

Hey y'all. So, I put off replacing my BEB's for too long, and it bit me in the butt today. I was 20 miles from home and started hearing a strange ticking sound. I limped it to my buddies shop, but it was too late. I pulled the oil pan and found #6 rod bearings had spun, and the crankshaft...

As the title states, what BEB and/or crank main bearings are you using? how has the longevity of them been and have you had any issues? id love to see all your experiences compiled into a single thread. I'm working through a rebuild of my 1HDT.. Tri-metal Duraglide made by ACL seem to be my...

I am getting conflicting information as to whether BEBs are an issue on 1HD-FT, and thus whether I should be considering replacing them on my 97 1HD-FT with 300,000 km on the clock. I just got the vehicle and do not know the history of the engine. However, it doesn't seem to make any unusual...

So I changed my big end bearings last weekend and need some advice. I Replaced the original OEM bearings (marked with "4", BEB Pictures Here) with standard size taiho. The old bearings looked ok and all of the rod journals looked good. I plastigauged only cylinder #4 and it was right in...

I'm a new owner of a 1991 HDJ81 and am looking to sort through the truck before putting it on the road. I went to order some ACL Duraglide big end bearings after hearing about this as a preventative maintenance item (truck has 135,000km and probably has never had them replaced). I ordered some...

Just under 237,000km (147,000mi) on this recent JDM import. I wanted to do the BEBs and see how things look in there. I was pleased. And the job went well.

I just replaced the BEB's on my 1hdt with 160k klm. There were several with small pitting. #2 top was the worst. My oil gauge had been reading low since I got it but I figured it was just a faulty sender. Fired it up and found my oil pressure had improved. Before my reading at idle was almost...
