timing

I posted this on the GX470 board but they suggested I also post it here because of the deeper knowledge base of the 2uzfe motor... Okay, so my mechanic friend was helping me with my 2006 GX470 (190k mi). We agreed that he would do the CV axles and that was fine. I needed the water pump (leaking...

Okay, so my mechanic friend was helping me with my 2006 GX470 (190k mi). We agreed that he would do the CV axles and that was fine. I needed the water pump (leaking a lot) and timing belt (way past due) changed. He suggested that we tear it down to the head gasket and get the heads cleaned up. I...

Hi gentlemen, Good news and bad news. (scroll down for TLDR) THE GOOD: I think I stopped the intake gasket leak. Did a smoke test with the carb taken off and taped the top of the intake shut. It was an old machine so not sure how much PSI I was gunning in there but seemed moderate compared to...

Going after the timing cover gaskets and seal and trying to scope the job. Can I do it with the radiator installed if I pull the fan and shroud? Will the balancer puller fit in the space? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Bob

No problem here

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...

Hi all Just trying to find when my timing belt was done / is due and can’t seem to find any information There is however a Japanese sticker that says replace every 100,000 It’s 25 years old with no history prior to import and has 71k on the odomiter Would I need to change the belt...

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...

Hey guys - finally went ahead a did a “rebuild” on my 2f carb. The float valve was sticking amongst other things. I put carb back on and similar symptoms - idle fuel pulling through Venturi. I read in the forum to blow out the idle circuit, likely blocked (with compressed air and carb cleaner)...

Hi All, I recognize there are many threads about this, but none that I've found seem to answer enough. I'm in the process of putting my motor back together, and when torquing the timing cover to what the service manual calls out, it pushed the gasket out. As other threads have suggested, I...

I recently had a coolant leak due to the PO taking the cruiser to a shop for the TB job and they didn't replace the O-ring at the water pump... sigh. However, for Christmas this year, I got an early present! IH*MUD to the rescue! Through the many of you who have gone down these roads...

Hello mudders, I am working on developing a trans control harness and tune for my 1993 USDM 80 series so I can use a Haltech standalone ECU. I have been able to successfully map A34x series transmissions in Tacomas and for the most part the A442 (AW450-43LE) looks to function the same really...

Trying to turn shaft to find bb with breaker bar. Can't get to bolt on front by fan.

I've had a DUI distributor sitting on the shelf for quite some time and finally decided to install it. The install went smooth thanks to all of the info I found here on Mud. I turned the key and she fired right up. Seamed to idle smoother than ever. I was stoked! Here are my question(s). I...

Have a 91 with a 1hdt. Currently in the middle of pulling my old injection pump out b4 putting in an upgraded one, was lining up the timing marks and the 2 timing belt pulleys line right up with the marks but the crankshaft is slightly off of its mark. Never had a noticeable issue with the...

sorry: posted in wrong forum. Please delete this topic

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...

Trying to find a good Land Cruiser mechanic to perform timing belt/water pump service on 2005 UZJ100. Any recommendations? Preferably in the South Bay/Harbor City area. Thanks.

Getting a timing cover leak on my Land cruiser... garage saying it'll cost $9K AUD as engine needs removed due to how timing cover sits sandwiched rather than bolted in. any advice on how easy this is to do by self?

Came off a B-series engine, I think 3B but can’t remember exactly. No idea on compatiblility. $20 plus shipping. Can vapor hone it and make it beautiful for $20 additional
