engine bay

Hi, I noticed a fairly sizeable crack above the right front wheel well just ahead of the bulkhead. Upon closer inspection it shows all signs of metal fatigue. The car has done almost 300.000km , is accident free but has done a sizeable number of kms on (rough) tracks and sand dunes where a bump...

Hello, just noticed my firewall insulation was all torn up with rodents droppings. The weather is cold here in So Cal at night but this is the first encounter although my LC 100 have always parked outside. Any suggestions ie traps, rat poison and is the isolation hard to replace? Thanks !

Looking for some inspiration for where to mount my winch solenoid in the engine bay and the wire routing. This is for a CBI Front bumper and requires the solenoid to be mounted separately and I would rather not have it in front of the radiator (where it was originally on the truck I got the...

hi , any help with clues or verified TECH on this unique 2-sensor sub harness section ? Is the smaller thin tall rubber boot for a knock sensor or a idiot light secondary oil switch the 79-89 20R / 22R / 22RE folks might know and narrow down this Sub Harness section in the engine bay...

I have a full set of the black engine bay cover panels as well as the large “5.7” manifold panel. Will trade a good home for them, for let’s say 6 six packs. I’m in the Fort Collins/Loveland area, going to hang onto them for about a month, and if no takers then I’ll just trash them. Just...

This video shows it while idling. Belt squeal? Something else?

So I want to mount some onboard air in my engine bay. I plan to remove the carb cooling fan and use the 4 unused bolts in the pic. Couple questions: 1. To remove the fan there is one bolt under the mechanism that helps the hood raise up. Any tips on removal...seems like I would be unbolting...

Just realized that the shop that I had remove my engine and do some frame work just snipped the battery wires, fusible link, and a couple other connectors when removing. Lazy. Looking for a front engine bay or headlamp harness for a 97 80, should include the engine bay fuse box and fusible...

I checked out a super nice 80 series but have a few questions. It’s got 250k miles. 2 owner. Car check rated it 63 out of 52. Absolutely zero rust on frame. Really nice interior. Paint is a 75 to 80. The engine bay has tons of oil When driving with slight foot on accelerator there is a...

Yet another attempt: Please share me your thoughts on my plan for charging a portable battery for my fridge. Currently , I have a Jackery 500 which has proven to be inadequate for more than ONE overnight trip for my fridge. I want to avoid dual battery set up and just need to charge the...

Hey guys I was thinking of removing my provent. I could probably use the room in my engine bay. I was thinking of venting it to atmosphere but I was concerned about river crossings and potentially sucking up dust as the crankcase breathes. Besides the odd oil drop on my driveway is there any...

located in the engine bay, passenger side, off to the left of the power steering reservior if looking at the vehicle from the front. what are these for?

hi mud, I could use some advice. 07 LX470, 190k. I've had the truck for 3 years and 20k miles. No major issues until a few weeks ago. Was driving over a mountain pass and noticed that when I accelerated, there was a high pitched whistle from engine bay. Letting off the gas slightly caused the...

Anyone know if this is a cooling system related issue? I have a good bit of oil that has made its way across the engine block from leaks on the front I suspect, which I have the parts to fix and will as well, but started a coolant flush and turned the heater on to proceed. Noticed a good bit of...

Hey Gang - Does any body happen to have their head in the engine bay and able to shot me a picture of the accelerator cable going through the firewall into the cabin? Thanks in advance. Rob -- Seattle, WA 206-619-5569

I looked at a 2006 LX470 today with 140k miles, 2 owners. I've been researching and checked the main items (timing, leaks, rust, brake pump). However, there were a few things that threw me off and kept me from pulling the trigger. 1. While testing the transfer case, the shifter was somewhat...

Hey guys. I searched a bit but came up empty. Does anyone know of a good product/idea for an engine bay accessory mount/tray? I have a remote winch controller that I need to mount, and due to wires coming out both sides it limits my options. I saw this online, which is the area that I am...

Need some assistance identifying a part that seems to be broken in engine bay. It’s attached to the front side of the intake manifold. Couldn’t find it on the descriptions of the intake that I pulled up in FSM.

In our older 80's (esp. the pre-8/92 ones) the wiring is getting very aged and especially in the engine bay area is subjected to a lot of heat plus any wiring to/from or near the engine gets a lot of vibration. Does anyone do anything special to protect or just otherwise ensure the longevity of...
