Hi people! Have not checked turbo yet, but it seems we may have to look for another option. Just now I saw that the engine oil level is much to high (about 2-3 cm above max level) and i am pretty sure it wasn't when we filled the oil after doing BEB about 500 miles ago. Got the tip to check...

No it is more whitish/grey. It smells just like starting my old tractor on starter pilot, a very old and cold diesel engine..It is not just a bit of smoke, but smoke which makes the cars behind you need their foglights...and by rattle I mean BIG rattle, which makes you take your foot of the...

Hi Karl, No it doesn't rattle all the time, only when you floor it. The flexy and exhaust is new (half a year old) and I am doubting if that could explain the smoke issues...We'll see if we can find anything on the turbo this saturday... Cheers!

Re: Engine will not start after injectionpump seal replaceme maybe good to mention it was damaged due to human failure.... :?

Re: Engine will not start after injectionpump seal replaceme Hey Dave, the smoking is sorted out. We fiddled around a bit with pump timing which sorted it. Ran beautifully afterwards. For about 3 hours. Then it decided to mock us again. Turned out that the small half-circle key in the injector...

Hi guys, here we are again, in desperate need of some advice :) Today we went to a 4x4 shop to look for some second hand heavy duty rear springs (and found some!) and 2 new BF AT's. When driving back, we pulled away a bit enthusiastic from a roundabout, when there was a big puff of greyish...

Re: Engine will not start after injectionpump seal replaceme Hi Dave, When looking at the website of the ferryservice, we found out that they will not sail anymore starting today....problem... http://www.visemarline.com/en/homepage.php Ciao! Tim

Re: Engine will not start after injectionpump seal replaceme Hello! Route is going to be east africa..so far netherlands to venice, then boat to alexandrie in egypt, then sudan, ethiopia, kenia, tanzania, malawi and zambia as end point. One issue remains. Engine runs and starts like a charm...

Re: Engine will not start after injectionpump seal replaceme Hi Karl, It is finally sorted! The cruiser is roaring like a wild beast again! There was a small key which was not inserted right in the pump, and that threw the timing off a bit. So after some tweaking everything fitted perfect and...

Re: Engine will not start after injectionpump seal replaceme What you can do with almost no budget and 2 generations of farmers with collecting mania :)

Re: Engine will not start after injectionpump seal replaceme Indeed, the main objective was to save costs, due to the fact that all the things we needed were so unbelievably expensive. On the other hand, why buy if you can build it yourself! (and most of the time better as well :) ) We learn...

Re: Engine will not start after injectionpump seal replaceme We'll, thats a steep price to pay, but hey, do we have a choice anyway? :mrgreen: This is our beloved landcruiser: And we want to drive it from the Netherlands to Zambia during this summer, so we've made some adjustments, such...

Re: Engine will not start after injectionpump seal replaceme Hello guys! Thanks for the fast ideas and suggestions. Unfortunately the engine is still not running...We were busy getting rid of all the air in the system, when our batteries decided to call it a day... now we are recharging them...

Re: Engine will not start after injectionpump seal replaceme Hi! Thanks everybody for the suggestions and tips. We managed to get cilinder 2 running (never appreciated exhaust fumes that much!) but then our batteries were flat. We only have the weekends to work on it because study is...

Re: Engine will not start after injectionpump seal replaceme Hi Karl, thanks for the fast reply! Yup, we had to take it off because we couldn't reach the allen bolt on the back below the gouvernor. We cracked the injector lines one by one, cranking the engine for a couple of seconds after...

Hello all, I am an owner of a landcruiser HDJ80 4.2td. (automatic 1993) I had a small leak in my fuel injection pump, which i mended by replacing a seal in between the pump housing and the cap which acts also as a support for the vacuum pump. All the pullys are in the correct position, as...
