Hello everyone,
I been working on the exterior of my bj40 in the last 3 years, now I would like to work on the diesel b engine, there are two complete overhauling so far, one in 1991 another 3 years ago including replacement of the head engine.
I am in Costa Rica where is not difficult to find a good engine (b14,b15), My BJ40 drives "fast" and good on flat roads and regular hills, but sometimes I need 1st gear without power to complete very steep hills, I remember there was around 450-500 "not sure" pounds on the compression test!! I want to make another to collect more information before I do something, but I have some questions:
1) Do I need to rebuild the injection pump, (please see attached, is located all the way to the right position is that normal, I heard the mechanic do that to control the smoke emition but I have no Idea about it. Maybe I need to include a new diaphragm and some part between the engine and the injection pump, in Costa Rica Spanish, that engine part is known as "ciclo avance" the mechanic say is a part with two small weights that control the times I am no sure to understand that, anyway I ask already and I can get a good one (second hand or used) for only US$50. Besides that, does anyone know where to find a brand new diaphragm? In case I need to fix these parts and rebuilt the admit ion pump.
2) I am using 7.50*16" tires, are those tires too big and make the car go slow on hills; maybe I need to go back for the originals 15"
3) The engine is taking long time to warm up, maybe a new thermostat, new gausses and radiator cap.
3) I prefer to use the original engine, but I can´t drive too far, so that is why I want a new engine, if I decide to do many things, I will spend the same amount of a modern engine (b14, b15)
4) Also I need help to build the bottle jack rack to hold it behind driver´s seat. D
oes anyone have a picture?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help and time. Please check some pictures attached, including a shocks system that my mechanic did for my car in the front, very soft!! The other Toyota on the pictures is a 10 years older cousin, first Hilux 1971 Gas 2R engine "FUTURE PROJECT"
Sorry for my English! Pura vida.
