Rebuilding the 1HZ Diesel Motor

surfponto Administrator Posts: 1364 1/28/2013	surfponto Administrator Posts: 1364 Well my main Borrego transport will be out of commission for about a month. Hoping to have it up and running before flower season. Doing a full engine rebuild out at my friend's shop in Ramona.

surfponto Administrator Posts: 1364 1/29/2013	surfponto Administrator Posts: 1364 Thanks Jim, Actually this started out as a injector pump rebuild since it had a small leak. Decided since we were pretty much pulling EVERYTHING off the motor to get to the pump we might as well rebuild the whole motor. Pretty sure the motor doesn't need a rebuild since it is at 200,000 miles and these are the motors they use in the UN Toyota trucks overseas, designed to go for a long time. At least I will get rid of some of the leaks On a side note we ended up picking up one of these for a commuter car. VW TDI (Diesel of course) 40 - 50 mpg hwy depending how you drive it Bob Jim (ziphius) wrote: How many miles on that engine Bob?
