4x4’s & Overlanding
-
@goosehd based on frequency it's cam rpm, not crank rpm. heads completely rebuilt, so it's not a valve. all lifters cleaned and reassembled. only guess is that a lifter is losing pressure under load, because the noise takes some time to appear after startup. don't really want to break in new lifters on this old cam...
-
@goosehd like all my classics - mostly driven just to the shop and back.

I have way too much stuff...
Plan is to go through the front end first, finally dial in the diff properly (you need a spreader for the housing on a dana 30) and double check the brakes in the process. Engine has been this way ever since i slapped it back together when i got the rig, so it'll survive some kms more i guess. -
Out in the springs!

My beloved Toyota Hilux
500K kms
The gearbox blew on the way home from work last night and I proceeded to drive 52 kms through the city and the country to get home with only second and fifth gear! -
@Lukenstein good bus them. Gunna get a new gearbox or time to retire? Still plenty to go with 500k from a D4D
-
@Rustygate37 I'm in two minds, i have a 79 but this hilux and me have been through a lot together
-
@Lukenstein yeah it is hard, I had a 80 series that I loved that much that I just kept throwing money at it. It was a beast
Eventually though I bought a 76 series
Always wanted a 79 -
@Giles which make and model is this? i’m interested in one myself.
-
@Giles said in 4x4’s & Overlanding:
Plenty of pimping options available in Japan

Something along these lines, perhaps?
