Outer Limits 4x4 Board

done the thermostat and water pump. Seemed ok

I'm going to remove and inspect the head and gasket.

might sounds silly and obvious but be sure to check your thermostat .couldn't hurt to replace it anyhow i suppose it was done sometime back. Doesn't mean it's still working though. I would check it anyway. Take it out and drop it in a pot of water and heat it on the stove (not to the boil) and it ...

it was done sometime back.

All Toyotas of that vintage with an engine driven fan use a viscous coupling (the finned aluminium bit between fan and water pump), and they do fail every now and again.

solidly driven from factory. also mentioned in the repair manual.

the fan is directly driven by the engine and the dual mass flywheel was welded to make a single piece flywheel,sometime back.

In an engine such as mine can the exhaust ever be so badly choked by soot that it overheats?

My PZJ70 has had overheating issues with the engine (1PZ, 5cyl) ever since I bought it 2 years back. It overheats, the temp needle goes over the 3/4th mark, with the a/c on, in under 10 minutes,when I'm idling in traffic or accelerating hard in the hills. On several occasions, I've let the needle go ...

thinking of swapping in a 1hd-ft in my pzj70.

Which welding type would you recommend: gas, electric arc or MIG?

Many thanks.

I'm planning on moving the motor mount brackets for a new engine. Mechanics in my part of the world are not at all confident about welding the new motor mount brackets on the chassis. They all talk of stress fractures on the welds. They also claim that if the mounts are not in the correct position ...

I have a 1HD-FT engine which needs a rebuild. The cylinder bores are out of spec and needs larger pistons. To reduce the cost of the rebuild I was considering using bore liners or sleeves and the old pistons, which in addition to the cylinder head and crank seem in decent shape. I'm aware that 1H ...

I have in my posession a 1HD-FT that was taken off a Coaster bus and have been considering fitting that into the PZJ70. However, there are several problems: 1. the engine needs rebuilding (the head, turbo and cranks seem ok though), the cost of a proper rebuild is prohibitive. Though, I was told ...

I'm considering turbocharging my PZJ 70.

Which are the best turbocharging kits available in Australia? I've a friend there who could buy one for me.

Secondly, what impact will it have on engine life?
