Ok, if we ever see the sun in NH, I'm going to give my very dusty and dirty Prado a wash and detail. I've detail many engines in the past, but never ones with a top mounted intercooler.

Also, I've used various diesel...

1987 4Runner 5spd Manual (getting a healthier engine)
I've got, side by side, two 22RE engines on stands with complete wiring harness attached. One from Auto, one from Manual. They both came from running trucks and prior to pulling, both ECUs would run in either truck without issues (only...
I recently imported a 1995 HZJ75 from Tanzania. 555,000 KM on the ticker and overall running and driving well.

Alright... don't flame me too bad for these questions. I found lots of info on engine oil via search engines and this forum, yet I could not find an answer to my specific questions.

I've been having an issue over the last week that first started when I was out camping. I had my cruiser idling to charge our phones while at camp on friday and the engine sputtered and died. No CEL or anything. It started up again and idled smooth, didn't have the issue again until this...

LX470 Engine Noise
As the title states, can anyone easily identify the problem with the noise? I tried turning the fan by hand with the belt still on and it moves smooth as butter. I have no idea where to really start.
I'm getting close to starting my rebuilt F 145 for the first time. The head was resurfaced with new valves and the cam was reground by Delta in Tacoma, WA, plus reground crank new bearing, rings, etc. I'm wondering what I should set my valves at cold before starting so that when I break in the...

I am hearing an engine knock when I start the LC. After the engine warms up, it goes away. Over the last 5 months the knock has gotten slightly more dominate.
