Hello muddahs I’ve had a number of old 4x4s over the years this is my first Toyota
Seen a fj60 parked at the local parts store and really loved the 80s look and how well built it appeared so started doing research on Landcruisers so when a high mileage lx470 in my price range popped up on marketplace I grabbed it
I like going to somewhat remote places and highway travel to mountains the lc100 platform seemed a good fit now that I’ve been driving it a bit and got a small sample of capabilities in stock form I love it
It’s a 1998 lx470 with 262000 miles not much rust and fairly well maintained I believe but by a private mechanic so not a lot for records.
So far I’ve bled and replaced ahc fluid got pressures to spec went from 7 graduations to 9 replaced heater tees torqued spark plugs flushed and replaced leaky power steering hose all following guidance from this forum
Searched but couldn’t find a case like mine where bearing noise continued with serp belt off timing belt was changed with an aisin kit in 2016 at 233000 miles before I pay to have a new kit installed was wondering if the noise could be caused by anything but a failure in the timing belt system. only on cold start goes away after 5 min should I be worried? I realize belt is on in video but didn't want to take it off again in case i didn't get any responses
