So my daughter Morgan and her husband Thomson picked up an LJ70 last week. We knew it was having overheating problems, but thought it was limited to a stuck thermostat.

Finally had time today to see what spewed coolant all over the engine bay. Has anyone seen a radiator hose blow so completely?

For some reason, Toyota asks for proof of car in states for some parts --with a copy of the title, you can get most parts locally.

Otherwise, I order most of them for my 70 series through Partsouq.com
 
Mea culpa Mike. Please enjoy one of the few pics I have at the moment. I'm sure there will be more to come.

Thanks, Kelly. I had not used partsouq before. But both impex and them show the upper radiator hose as nla. I need to call Kurt who show it.
 
So, apparently I need a head for the 2LT. Where would you guys go to find one? Or would you try having the existing head fixed? Who's the go to shop for head repair?
 
From what I recall that is very common on that engine. Major failure point on it. If I recall, they typically are cracked, so have to replace.

Here is a good thread with all the parts needed.


If it were me, I would get in contact with joekatana and see if he has any leads on good engines for a swap.

And by "good engines", I am thinking not that engine....

1HZ maybe...
