ln130

Hey! So, after researching the absolute pile of turds that the 2LTE engine is, it’s made me skeptical about paying $20kAUD for one. Now, the catch is; the engine was recon’d and had a lot of work done to it, and it seems a lot of preventative work has been done to help prevent the head from...

Catastrophe has struck the 2.4Lte Hilux surf I recently acquired, and the timing belt tensioner gave out causing multiple valve stikes and shattering or cracking valves that then scored the head. long story short the head is ruined. It seems like getting a new head will cost almost as much as a...

Howdy folks! Selling my trusty Surf. It's had all the work done that needs to be done on these engines to make them decently reliable. All major work was performed by ATEB (RHD diesel specialists). The list includes: 50000kms ago: New head 2.5" exhaust K&N intake Timing Belt 25000kms ago...
