Sludge to keep your engine sealed???Not for me.An idea might be to use an engine flush and change filters very soon.Some synthetic rep for causing leaks came from oil manufactures reducing additive packages to keep costs down.Premuim modern synthetics have more seal swelling additives than dyno so should be less likley to leak.I use synthetic in my vehicles and would not use anything else.Dyno oil in certian toyota engines is notorious for producing sluge.Dyno with it's unstable base stock contains molicules of various sizes .The lighter ones tend to boil of at high temps.Concentrating the remaing oil channnging it's lubricity characteristics and it's ability to deal with buyproducts of combustion.My 2bits

not diesel related but my aunt used to drive a highlander and ended up having to get rid of it due to engine oil sludging, i was surprised to hear this. they have a brand new 4runner now.
 
Stephen, cheers mate. I missed the point of the sludge sealing the engine until you pointed it out.That s*** is lethal,drops oil pressure,restricts the oil intake,makes the hydraulic lifters stick.And gums up everything until failure.My lads sump had app 1/2 an inch of thick sludge in the sump .Have not had to worry about leaks though this would happen on an old engine especially if left standing for extended periods.cheers
By Dyno do you mean mineral oil or semi synthetic ,
 
HiVerm, from going through that post it seems to be the bearings they used up until 1995.Seems quality bearings should solve the problem.cheers mate.

i have read tons of williams posts in the past...
i might have to give this one another read...
run a litre of tranny fluid through to flush the system befroe the next oil change and see all the crap that comes out...
cheers

ATF .. ? you mean, add 1 litre of ATF fluid to my 2H engine and run ? ( usualy I use 20W-50 Castrol mineral 11 botles )
 
yep, do this about 100 km before an oil change. ATF has detergent in it so it cleans the passages...
works good
cheers
 
Toyota Australia reccommended Castrol RX super or Turbomax for the 2H.10.7 litres with filter 9.1 without changing filter. The ATF has a high amount of very strong detergent. Will need Crusher to give advise about this on very old engines, might clean too much carbon from around the rings.Not sure.

Though there are reports of even 1HD-FTE bearings occationally showing the same flaking...

Even if the new bearings have been reworked they are still tin/aluminum afaik. I recall reading somewhere (WJM link on the DTLC within in the last few years) about Toyota wanting to meet a pollution standard, and using tin/aluminum instead of copper/lead...

ACL's are the common name mentioned for the non-Toyota replacement bearings.

I did this, as well as a commercial engine flush on Poo (3B) my last oil change. I swear it runs better, more responsive, and the oil did not black up right away...

i highly doubt it will remove carbon but it helps in removing sludge...
cheers
 
once these bearing are replaced i will still recommend a semi synth for my customers...
the oil is the life blood as we all know so why scrimp?
cheers

We were discussing engine failures in Modified V6 and V8 [304/355 and Gen 3 motors[ls1].

there's the problem right there, they're all failures :D

gentle ribbing :D

By Dino I ment "Dinosaur Oil" Non synthetic oil created when the dinosuars were around.Sorry for the North American slang.

Anyone read through most of the posts on the site below?

There is also reports of defective crankshafts,either out of alignment or as some believe,the crank is too light weight and flexing.
Some owners claim they had their crank replaced with one that was noticeably heavier.

Ive only seen one case of damaged bearings in a HD-T
The poor old HDJ80 was driven at 140klms+ for 2 hours towing a small excavator on tandem trailer.
Within a week it had the dreaded tick tick tick and some bubbles in the coolant at 200000 klms:sad:

Ooopss .. !

During the towing you temp gauge notice somewhat max temp moment . ?

It wasnt me driving:rolleyes::D
