evening all
I have a KZJ71 1994 with a 1KZ-te that has recently developed a concerning knock. The knock is regular at idle and there appears to be more vibration than usual.
The knock sound like its coming from the bottom end and i have just pulled off the sump but nothing is jumping out at me that might be the cause.
I'm thinking maybe big end bearings but i have pulled two off and whilst there is some sign of wear it is not at a level that i would think caused such an audible knock.
I haven't pulled the other big ends yet (have come inside for dinner) but thought i throw this up for any pearls of wisdom that people might have.
Have also pulled the timing belt cover to check tensioner and this is all fine.
any help or ideas welcome.
Thanks
Tony
