Well the engine was not very good... Took it in juuust in time before some very major issues.
I changed the timing belt last December 9000km ago (5600 miles). At some point since a lot of mud got in and completely rusted and seized the tensioner....
Once opened, the next surprise was that at some point in the past somebody has "revised" the engine. With his @ss. The centring pins on 3 of the con rod caps have ben destroyed and the caps were put backwards?? Bearings on them don't look good either.
Somebody has not been very diligent with his oil changes. Toyota fixed the infamous main bearings of the 1HD-T with the 1HD-FT. This is purely due to bad maintenance.
So - new timing belt, tensioner, con rod + main bearings, new piston rings, gaskets, will see what else...
