A friend of mine has recently changed a blown engine in his Prado for a blown engine from a breaker! The only other engine he could get was out of a 3.0surf. He installed it and had to change the sump, exhaust manifold and the Injection Pump. Engine starts and runs fine on tick over but there is a real bad knocking noise when the revs go up.
First Question is can the IP be changed out like that and given the engine sounds healthy on tick over what is the knocking likely to be? He has changed the Injectors so I was thinking late injection which would point to a pump/timing issue.The pump ran the previous engines ok except that they had ring and head damage.
Just wondering if anyone has done a similar conversion before..
