timing

HELP! I have a 1985 22r. I was driving down the trail, and all of a sudden lost all power, the truck completely shut down. I put it on the flatbed and took it home. I looked at the distributor and the rotor was destroyed and parts were melted to the cap! I've never seen this before. I cleaned...

I have an US spec 1985 FJ60 with all the original equipment, smog etc... I had done everything I could to tune it up and was still not satisfied with its performance. Then I ran into an engine builder who had been a certified Toyota mechanic back in the day and he recommended I set the timing...

Hi guys, I just had a bad experience and I hope someone can help me with this. I just took the car to a shop to adjust/repair the fuel pump for my HDJ80 (1HD-T) and had a very bad experience... I´ll start since the beginning, 1 year ago the car was burning eyes, too much diesel was being burn...

So, my injector pump was apparently in need of a rebuild so instead sourced an allegedly working pump from Canada. My mechanic (not a diesel expert) said he could put it in and he did. It is smoking a ton and is not running well. He claims the pump is bad but I have reason to believe that it...

Longshot: Anybody have a 2F timing cover gasket laying around? I ordered one Monday but it won't be here for the weekend and was hoping to finish off a project. Would need to be triangle area. :beer: Ramon

I posted this in my 1966 FJ40 Frame-Off Build (3rd Generation Owner) build also, but thought I'd start a new thread separatly. So @Rock40 and I need some tech assistance here on a sealing washer question. #92 on SOR diagram (below) is a lower bolt on the timing cover area that goes directly into...

I recently replaced a leaking VCV near the distributor on my 1980 FJ40. The leak went away and the idle quality is better but the engine is running a little like the timing is off. I wonder what the suggested ignition timing is for a stock 2F running on modern 87 grade (10% ethanol) fuel and...

SOLD TO ANOTHER MUDDER. THIS VEHICLE IS NOW SOLD AND NO LONGER AVAILABLE. (when I refer to "minor scratches" you can see the largest one in this pic, on the corner of the front bumper, driver-side corner. That black mark is a small scratch, which I will fill with matched touch-up...

Searching for a good condition Timing gear cover and backing plate and oil squirt-er from a late 2F years 85-87 out of a FJ60. Also need thrust plate and bolts, and possibly more if you're parting one ... Anyone parting out a late 2F ? Thanks. :)

Three pics here, showing a little cracking in the timing belt. Is there some life left here? Or time to change?

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...

Looking at an lx470 tonight. The flipper swears that the auction he bought it from stated that it was done at 150k miles (12k ago) and i dont see it coming up on the lexus history. I am going to call the toyota dealership associated with that dealer group but I am not optimistic. Im hoping...

Ive decided it's time to replace my timing belt and all that gets done at the same time. I was "inspired" by a small trickle of Coolant coming from under the timing belt case, I assume from the water pump. Can anyone point me to a well done guide to doing to repair? A video would be awesome...

Hey guys, I've started to change the timing belt on my 2000 LC myself this week and am running into a few issues with it, so I'm wondering if there are any others on here that have done this job that can give me some advice? I've done a few T-belts on various cars but this is the first time on...

I seem to have lost the door to my timing window (pic below). Is this a big deal? If so, any idea where I can find one? Thanks!

Apparently, the previous owners *never* changed the timing belt... *sigh*. While changing the Tensioner and Idler, I was disappointed to see this. I figured they HAD to do it at least once, though there was no sticker under the hood. I don't even want to crank it till I get this fixed (along...

About to purchase a 2006 LC, timing belt service is listed on Toyota owner site from the dealer. Should I ask my local dealer to pull the full repair order to make sure water pump was replaced? Or can I visually inspect the pump easily to tell age?

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...

Is It safe to assume that by aligning the timing marks the engine is at TDC too? Cheers from Ecuador and thanks for all your help

Good Morning (barely), I recently installed a THC and am trying to get everything running a bit better on the 73 F engine. That said, I have never timed an engine before. The 73 came with an AC DELCO dizzy, I believe it's an HEI I believe. When I unlatched the top, it can't twist as it is keyed...
