head gasket

I blew up the radiator in my 90 series. I would like to perform a compression test to determine the cause. How can I go about doing this on a diesel engine? Thanks!

Let's try this again and frame it as a TECH question which will force me to be more candid with my situation... In the summer of 2022, my car was totaled by a hit and run drunk driver outside my house. Insurance gave me a total loss check for $12,000. Used car market was so high that I couldn't...

Hi All, I have a 6lpa 315 that I got used coast guard. Had a blown head gasket that we changed. No leaks now, idles and starts fine but will not rev past 1200 unless primer bulb is pumped while running. If bulb is pumped while running it will hit the limiter. Testing on garage...

I am looking for an 80 series 95-97 triple locked LC or LX450 that has already had the head gasket redone/replaced. Under 250,000 miles. Decent shape inside and out. Little to no rust. Built up or stock. Budget $19k. Within 400 miles of Chattanooga, TN. Serious offers only please. Looking for a...

Is it neccasary to replace the Timing Chain on a 94 1FZFE when I do the Head Gasket repair ? Also, why do people use a Cometic HG instead of a Toyota OEM ? Any Advantages.

Hi everyone, I'm located in Australia and have a HDJ100R with 1HDFTE engine. I'm struggling with this recent problem where I'm losing coolant. I replaced the radiator cap as well as radiator and looked for any leaks as well. Old radiator was in good condition but coolant was rusty so I did a...

I bought OEM MLS-type head gasket to my 1981 BJ42, part no. 11115-58110. I assumed it’s just bolt-off and bolt-on. Then I found this from Radd Cruiser’s website: 3B & 13BT MLS Head Gasket 11115-58110-AM - https://www.shopraddcruisers.ca/mls-head-gasket-3b-13bt-11115-58110-am.html Well, how...

Hello all! This is my first time posting so let me know if I'm forgetting something. I have a gas '93 LC with 215,000 miles that blew a head gasket. When I pulled the head I found a tiny bit of scoring on the #6 cylinder. That coupled with leaking rear and front main seals convinced me to pull...

Started up the FJ62 today. Blue/white smoke. I’m located in Denver, what are my options? Head gasket rebuild? 350 + 5 speed swap? Anyone been through this recently in the Denver area? Would love shop suggestions for either …

I normally just read and search, so posting is because system had that on the list. Hope everyone is well, I will be looking for info on head swap and what to do while I have it off for good measures. Thnx all

Looking at potentially picking up a stateside KZJ95 from Europe. Its got about 300km on it but its the non-intercooler version. It over heated and blew a HG apparently and thus the current owner is looking to get rid of it. I'm not super familiar with the 1KZ yet so i'm wondering what kind of...

Hey guys, anyone know of a good toyota/mechanic in the northern California area?

Hello, I have recently purchesed a 1980 Toyota Pickup, SR5 Longbed 2wd, 20r engine. When I bought the truck the engine was only running on 2 cylinders, had a lot of carb problems, was burning oil, and possible head gasket. I rebuilt the engine, put on a new Carburetor (the weber 32/36) and...

I have a 1fz-fe which i got for my 97, that I dropped a little over a grand of parts at. When i put it in, i had no idea that it had needed a head gasket...until I ran it. It came out of a 95 that had 220k on it. The water pump, oil cooler internals, thermostat, power steering pump, valve cover...

275,000 miles and 20 years. Started leaking externally at the back of the PS head as well as just above the engine mounts on both heads. Truck ran fine and an inspection of the cylinder bores didn't give me any reason to believe it was leaking internally but I'm sure it was only a matter of...

Not sure if this is the place but I am looking for a good Toyota mechanic in the Denver area to do a 2016 Tacoma head gasket for a friend. He was quoted 16,000.... Any recommendations?

Today was a long day.. she left me stranded at the gas station. Wouldn't start or jump but finally got it to jumpstart and drive home. Replaced the fusible link and was gearing up to do the starter but decided to make sure the fusible link install was ok so fired her up. She started (still think...

I am looking at a Series 80 with ~250K miles on it. It doesn't have a blown head gasket but, if I go to that much trouble, I'm thinking a fresher engine would be a good idea. I spoke with Blane's Engine in Dallas, TX and they said they CANNOT get parts to rebuild the engine. I am wondering...

So my head gasket blew. I took it to Land Cruiser Northwest to get it looked at because I had a P0306 code and the injector came unplugged. But I had an exhaust leak so I was going to have them fix it. They took a look over it and did some tests and told me the head gasket was blown. They quoted...

I have a brand-new, in-the-tube, poster from Wits' End. Getting rid of pretty much everything 1FZ. Let's do $15 shipped to the CONUS.
