Looking for BJ42 3B Engine Rebuild Kit (1 Viewer)

[christianleeboy]

Hello fellow diesel cruiser owners,

I'm in need of a 3B engine rebuild kit for my 1982 BJ42. There are two listings of the rebuild kit on eBay for the 3B engine, both from Australia and priced around $742 USD. Is this a good price and does it seem to be a good kit? Any other suppliers out there that sells a good kit, possibly in US?

Here are the links to the 3B rebuild listings on eBay:

Diesel Engine Rebuild Kit - Toyota Landcruiser BJ42 3B - All models 8/80-8/84

Toyota Landcruiser BJ42 & Coaster 3B Diesel Engine Rebuild Kit - Up To 7/88

Thank you,
Chris

One more thing, what does a "Coaster 3B Diesel Engine" mean? I'm curious what "Coaster" is meant for...? One of the 3B engine rebuild kit sold on eBay is titled with his description:

Toyota Landcruiser BJ42 & Coaster 3B Diesel Engine Rebuild Kit - Up To 7/88

Thanks ~chris

I have no experience with the sellers you've listed. As always I recommend Engine Australia as I do have experience with them and it was all good. Engine Australia | Diesel Engine Parts, Cylinder Head, Diesel Engine Gaskets, Australia

Coaster

Good-to-go... Thank you for the info and the web link to Diesel Engine Parts! I will contact them. I can't believe that Coaster bus runs on a 3B... Wow

The 3B is running fine with 345k miles but wanted to have one saved up for just-in-case scenario...
