HDJ81 1HD-T BEB replaced (1 Viewer)

[B Point]

Be aware that there are a lot of fake branded Taiho Chinese made bearings around. Everything looks exactly the same as the Japanese originals. The only way I'd use Taiho is if I got them from a trusted dealer here in Japan.

I bought my taihos from engines Australia.

Good thread with good info, I already got 1 HD-T to retrofit on my LX, so, after read this thread it looks like it made sense to do the BEB's ones the engine is on stand.
I wonder if somebody could provide me with the name or link to buy the ACL 6B8396 supplier, please?
thanks

I got my ACLs from G&S Cruiser Parts

He didn't have any more stock when I did mine about 6 months ago. Ended up having them shipped over here from Radd Cruisers.

What about the strainer gasket? Any thoughts on reusing that?

 

[ForealBoreal]

There wasn't one from what I remember, I just bolted mine back up.

I've got a local mech who knows knothing about these engines, but he is good. At the same time he wants to make money and I don't want to spend too much. With the right tools and parts, How Long should this job take?

The bearings on a 1HD-T are no harder to change than the bearings on a Jeep I6 or any other basic inline 6 engine. That said, I have no idea how long it should take a shop to complete.

I thought it would be informative to post what Wussypup's ACL's look like after 219,000km on the odo(uncorrected for tire size, maybe closer to 240,000km with 35's). The engine is out for a rebuild with 356,000 on the odo.

close up of #2 bearing and rod journal which has a light brown tinge to it...

That's cavitation damage on the shell. Consistent with the cavatation problem these engines have. How does #6 look up close?

I wouldn't let them run that long again.

I don't have a pic handy but the rest have the the grey bearing material intact with small score marks on them. I'll post pics in a few days. I welcome any insight.

Here are the original bearings... from 137k, #1 @ the top, #5 missing the big chunk.

You can buy Taiho bearings from Partsouq

I don't believe brand will matter for the bearing shells. There are none that will stand up to cavitation long term and periodic replacement is the solution.

Modern bearing shells are one piece aluminium.

I recently replaced the BEB on my 1HDT engine. First replacement was at 120,000 km when i bought it in NZ. It was a JDM import to NZ. Replaced the BEB again at 375.000km No5 was similar to the one above. Not so much wear but missing a small section of bearing material maybe 1/8” in diameter. No obvious scoring or gouges so i assume it left in very small bits over a long time.

Probably have to do the BEBs at some point. They have been done, about 60-70k kms ago. I have the maintenance records.
