I am sure someone on here has had a similar problem and can point me in right direction.
Recently done complete engine o/haul on 1hdt engine. 340 000 km on original engine. I had to get a donor engine block as original was badly corroded due to PO using water without coolant.
After O/haul engine starts and runs very smoothly no smoke no noises no heat build up good compression etc.
Problem is when the engine is hot it will not crank over. leave it to cool down for an hour or so and it will fire up on first crank again.
Have changed the starter motor, same result. Have changed the battery, same result. If i boost the battery it will crank when hot.
Am confused any pointers greatly appreciated.
