engine noise

Hey folks, I'm currently tackling my first-ever engine refurb on my 1989 FJ62 Land Cruiser (GCC Spec) with the 3F carbureted engine — and I’ve hit a bit of a mystery. I’ve noticed a metallic ticking noise from the engine, and I’m hoping someone here might help me narrow it down. Pouring over...

Hello, I have an 04 and it's making this sound intermittently. doesn't matter if I'm parked or driving. Will anyone help me out, please? From engine compartment: From inside the cabin: Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Gents, I'm 26 and just (hopefully) completed my first build+baseline and mechanical journey in general on my 1985 60 series but im hearing some odd engine noises, and a potential crankshaft wobble. I've done everything besides the machining + initial assembling the head and block. I Had my...

I just bought my 2016 GX 460 with around 84k miles on it and im currently on a cross country trip from nevada to iowa. Before I headed out for the drive, I changed all the fluids in the transfer, transmission, differential, power steering and etc. also changed all the brakes, and got alignment...

2004, 370k miles. I just purchased it this Spring and have caught it up on all maintenance and repairs. Truck seemed well taken care of, no leaks, no smoke on start up, does not use oil, etc…. A little background, I have done all fluids, filters, Denso plugs and all 8 coils, new O2 upstream...

I have a tick. It’s been there since I got the rig some years ago. While I’ll freely admit I’m slightly OCD and the rig is running fine…..I’m working my butt off to make this a forever car I’ll drive in retirement. I’m also aware of several potential culprits like exhaust leaks, valve...

Just picked up a 13 4runner limited . I had an 07 FJ before with the same motor (almost) and this runner has a louder engine , it also has a magna flow exhaust , but this 4runner engine almost sounds like it has a “supercharger” some forums have said it’s a idler pulley , some have said it’s...

On a recent motorway trip I noticed a high pitched whistle on acceleration coming from the engine bay on my HDJ100. I stopped by a mechanic and they suggested it was an issue with the vacuum dampener, so I went ahead and got a new one but the noise still persists. The whistle seems to be in time...

Greetings! Recently I’ve had a ting ting ting noise while in drive sitting idle when the truck is cold. Once I’m driving or the truck is warmed up the noise goes away. I have an 04 LC with 184k. The noise sounds kind of like the fan hitting metal. That’s the only to describe it. Any help...

So my buddy finished cleaning up and doing a whole bunch of maintenance in the engine bay ('97 LX450) including fixing an oil pump leak (with kit from Wits End), new pump, new thermostat, heater control valve, filters, replacing all the coolant hoses including bypassing the rear heater core, new...

So i noticed after i installed 285/75 16 tires the engine seems a little louder when accelerating. Is this normal based on the increased tire weight?

So Friday night on my weekly trip home (a 350 mile journey that I've been doing for the past ~6 months and will continue to do until I can sell my house) I had just topped a large hill when I swear i heard a clunk (was listening to some talk radio via headphones so it's hard to say where it came...

I thought the culprit was leaky flange gaskets. After getting those replaced, the sound is still there. Any ideas? It's in a 1996 LC80 with 184k miles. > Thanks!

'85 Land Cruiser fj60 2F engine Parked for 8 years This Cruiser was given to me from a friend who couldn't let it go, but his wife was done with it parked in the drive for the past 8 years. I have done some minor work on it, changed the fluids, dropped and attempted to clean the rusted fuel...

Hey guys, I am new here but I am on my second FJ60m which I just bought. I was driving last night in the heavy rain and hit a deep puddle at the same time a big truck hit that puddle going the other way. The whole front of my truck was hit with a lot of water and the engine about 20 yards...

Apologies I've been really busy lately and have not had time to really dig into this. Since temps dropped below freezing last night I started my 80 a few minutes early and came back in for a coffee. Came out and heard a slightly uneven chatter from the engine. My first hunch is a not quite...
