Re: Toyota Diesel 1L Engine

[smazz104]

I know you said clean and derust the head but could you give a few more details? how you dealt with the valves and siezed engine part?

[doug48858]

@smazz104 Once the head was off, I took my time. Sprayed everything with wd-40. Seems like the 2 valves were stuck open so that helped. Carefully got everything apart and used a wire wheel to get the head cleaned up. Tried using naval jelly as well. The head and engine really werent that bad. Some of the internal parts of the motor were like brand new. Most of it was from sitting so long. Almost 10 years later it still runs well, so taking the time to do it right paid off.

ehat would be a good motor for a go cart!

I would love to see Toyota break into the 3/4 and 1 ton (arbitrary names at this point) market, with a 7Litre turbo-diesel, Tundra.

great donkey fitted to the toyotas, go for ever.

[oceantrolls73]

the L-TYPE is possibly the best diesel built by toyota. i had an 82 fitted into a 64 Toyota Crown and it ran for a good 10 years with no issues. awesome it was!

[whorayful]

I had a 2L in an 85 model ute owned it for over 20 years, ran it out of coolant once in the outback and seized it. After it cooled down, about three beers, put a new hose on it filled it with water and drove it over 400 klm back to Alice Springs in central Australia with a couple of rattling pistons, still ran like a clock and did over 36 mpg.

[topgunner16]

first of all tos or those damn japsennis cars never had diesel engine

[rustyATV]

@topgunner16 Toyota has made, and currently makes, many diesel engines. The Hilux has been available with a diesel in most markets, just not in the US.

[UBERKron]

@topgunner16 going the full retard. i have three japanese diesels, maybe a leprechaun converted them from petrol to diesel?

[dirtydiesel69]

You should of scraped it and saved a lot of time and money

[gutlux87]

quite possibly the most gutless diesel ever to go into a hilux, the 2l is a much better engine, exactly the same except for bigger bore size i believe, gives it a bit more grunt, pushes it out to 2.4 litres. they love turbo's and the exact engine was actually released with a turbo in Cressidas n stuff in japan.

[thesilverhorizon]

rebuilding good old diesel is cool!!!

[swss12]

does it get 100 mpg or what? im jealous

[curtismundy]

was the truck you got from a junkyard a 2wd or a 4wd without axls

[doug48858]

The white truck was a 82 2wd. The 1L diesel now resides in my 81 4x4 longbox as seen in other videos. So many youtube "experts" claim I damaged the engine by running it without coolant. That was 7 years ago and still runs fine. Hmmm

[danthemanzizzle]

@doug48858 well the compression chamber temp would rise, maybe burn out some oil or cause a knock but not likely...

[Ruff8866]

@doug48858 I ran a toyota 1.5 turbo diesel engine without oil for 6 months, still running smooth and I use it on an offroad suzuki samurai!

[hunzala92]

the "L" series diesels were probably the best diesels ever built by toyota.. the non-turbo (like yours) was impossible to kill. Amazing engine indeed. wonder how you were able to get rebuilding spares for it in the US? thanks for posting. i remember mouting a cressida ps on my 82 2.2 L diesel using a hand cut plate bracket and worked well

[the82spartans]

Good on ya'.

[BLAKEYBBLAKEY]

@ 0:38,That cambelt needs to be slackened off,pushed all the way onto the cam pulley and re-tensioned,ideally.

[raresqualf]
