timing chain

Another Interesting Car Care Nut video, in this case on the US build Tundra 3UR-FE and issue with timing chain tensioner. Wondering whether 0W20 pushed by the EPA is resulting in less oil pressure and possible issue with these tensioners not exerting enough force. Seems the rotor type oil pump...

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.

I finally got my 1FZFE motor from the rebuild shop and installed in the 93 LC (gas). Identified some leftover bolts thanks to all the input from this forum, and cranked it up. It ran ok despite a high idle so I left it for the night. Today I tried to set the timing and that's when I hit a wall...

So I’m in process of changing my timing chain, however the new timing chain kit that I ordered has different guides. The car is a 1994 fzj80. My question is will this fit and why is it different, maybe Mr T upgraded the design over the years?🤔 by the way, left guides are old ones and to the...

Hello, While replacing the head gasket on my 1fz-fe I dropped a 8mm washer into the timing chain cover. I removed the crank position sensor and can see the washer from there. The washer is sitting at the bottom of the timing cover just forward of the crank position gear. I have been unable to...

I have a 2015 200 series with 98k. I posted another thread over the weekend on a timing chain tensioner noise. Thanks to the great folks on this forum for weighing in. I’m now looking to go to 5w-20, which is what the owners manual says you can go to if 0w-20 isn’t available. Is it better to...

I recently did the head gasket on my 2007 FJ Cruiser (1GR-FE). The engine starts really rough and doesn't sound good while running. The vehicle gave these four codes: P0011 - Camshaft Position, intake/left/front, bank 1 - timing over advanced/system performance P0335 - Crankshaft Position...

Does anybody have a good link to do a timing chain replacement video? I'd like to change the timing chain on my 2008 LC. Thanks!

Recently, I took my old 88 FJ62 (265K) to get serviced when it abruptly stopped on me at a stoplight (It started shaking back and forth suddenly, the radio went dead, and it just sort of went silent...). I took it into my normal mechanic and they repaired wiring to the alternator which they said...

Doing what I consider a baseline+ maintenance which includes the valve cover gasket due to some massive oil leaks and noticed the front section of the cylinder head (where the timing chain and distributor gears are and thought they were rather dry. My question is, do oil galleries exist in the...

I bought this kit thinking I'd need it but it turned out that my machinist had order these parts when they did the valves. So here is a unused LCE Timing Chain Kit for a 1FZ-FE Details here: 1FZ-FE 4.5L i6 Timing Chain Kit 1993-1997 Land Cruiser $80 shipped (list is just under 100 + 20 bucks...

Hi everyone, I had an oil leak at the front of the engine and I decided to change the crankcase pulley oil seal and oil pump cover o ring. See my crankcase pulley below, what do you guys make out of it? Can I still reuse it? The rubbery is pretty worn out. I also noticed a crack in the...

As the timing chain gets old, I assume it stretched, right? IF so, then the timing will change as it stretches, right? Will it advance or retard? Is it enough that you have to compensate for the slop in the chain when adjusting the timing? I just checked the timing and it was set at 3 (some...

Hi I have a 62 with a 3B. Last month it just gave up on me. Doesn't start, been sitting in the driveway. Starter and battery are in good shape. No leaks or visible damage to motor. However it doesn't crank. I can turn it manually about half way in both directions. From there on it just doesn't...

Hi there, I'm hoping I can pick some of your brains. I have a locked 97 LX450 with 150k on it. I was messing around on a very very steep dirt hill trying to climb it (testing out there lockers ;) The engine was close to, but below, redline. I think the angle starved the oil pump, the pressure...

Hey, thanks for looking and responding. I have an 87 pickup, 22-R engine, 2 wheel drive. I just changed all the timing components since the chain guide was broken and after getting it back together it won't start... or even try to. I am pretty sure that I did everything right on the timing. I...

I began detailing the rebuild of the 1FZ-FE in my truck build thread (listed in my signature), but it soon began to dominate the thread, so I decided to create a dedicated thread. My '97 Landcruiser died early and suddenly, with only 175k on the clock, when a misplaced bolt got into the timing...

So about 3 years ago I picked up a 91 80 series with the 3fe. I've always loved these land cruisers but never had one till then. It gave me tons of problems with not starting right and I knew nothing about the different engines or locker options. I been searching ever since to get a 93+ with...

Update 1/24/17: I'm home safe. Had to get towed 190 miles. A disappointing end to a long anticipated trip. Original Post: Hey Guys I'm stuck on a trail in panamint valley by Death Valley. I was going along in my '97 land cruiser at a good pace when I hit a bump pretty hard, hard enough to...
