Problem With My Toyota Hilux by SeaTrade(m): 11:30pm On Mar 17, 2021 |
So guys,good evening. I got a truck like 3months ago for my business . It was a used truck. Have been using it for long hauls since,but I noticed something.Oil problems. That thing drinks oil like crazy,but it doesnt smoke. After coming back from calabar today to PH,the thing kaput after climbing a hill. It still starts but the sound is awful,clanking noises from the engine. So I am thinking,what could be the problem? Is the engine dead? Do i rebuild it?how solid is it gonna be after rebuilding it? Is it a good thing to do with a hilux? Mehn ,i cant wait to start buying brand new cars,nonsense!! Cc gazzuzz,eddee,9icetoo,nurey,timifakay,radautoworks and all other gurus in the house,please help |

It will be better to sell off the engine and get a new replacement. That's the solution..if you repair it won't last and it will exhaust your money.. 1 Like |

SeaTrade:what model year, engine type? if it's 4cyl 2tr-fe(tokumbo is expensive ooo). I ringed mine, 2 years ago and it's still serving me well. almost 300k |
Re: Problem With My Toyota Hilux by SeaTrade(m): 7:09am On Mar 18, 2021 |
GAZZUZZ:Yes,it did. Will gauge again this morning to confirm. |
Re: Problem With My Toyota Hilux by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:12am On Mar 18, 2021 |
SeaTrade: Rebuild the old engine It's a steel block and very easy to rebuild. Cut the crankshaft, install new bearings , buy new pistons and rings, replace valve seals . Engine should last 600years 9 Likes 1 Share |

GAZZUZZ: I don't think that Hilux is a cast iron block. Except if his Hilux is the Y series make of engine, with an iron block (old model). |

SeaTrade: I think you caused all this yourself here. you saw all these red flags, and kept driving that thing with all that hauling to long trips? Rebuild, or convert is the option if you don't have #1.7million for the replacement engine. 1 Like |

I understand it costly, but to me it's the best thing, if you are in Lagos I could have recommend a mechanic for you to check the level of damage of the engine and know if it can work well if repaired.. because if you don't meet the right mechanic he might because of his own Belle tell you it will work well and at the end after spending money the issue will still persist and it will not serve you well.

I've taken it to the mechanic,he is saying crankshaft,rings,piston,gaskets,etc...is what they will change. Budget 350k I will do it but he will use his own money to do it first so that if e no work na him loss Nna money weh I don plan wetin I go use am do finish |

SeaTrade:it's 2tr-fe. N1,700,000.00 chai |
Re: Problem With My Toyota Hilux by id4sho(m): 9:13am On Mar 18, 2021 |
SeaTrade:it's rebuilt able, no fear. Look for a garage that repairs all this Toyota haice buses a.k.a Hummer. They are very good in fixing 2TR-FE, that engine should be brought down in pieces. Bad parts should be identified and replaced |

SeaTrade: Do not think you can be smarter than the average roadside mechanic. It will end in tears (premium) . Follow up on this job , all the parts required for this rebuild are available in the market , you can even buy what is popularly called (couple back ) which is the crankshaft and bearings removed from a functional standard engine. Replace piston rings head gasket valve seals and possibly piston them selves if worn out. Take your rebuild seriously if you want it to last. 10 Likes |

GAZZUZZ:Seconded This was what I did, OP follow this. I've put my thermostat sef and am having a great fuel economy. I bought my crankshaft (couple back) 120k in jos then. what's the price in Lagos? |
Re: Problem With My Toyota Hilux by SeaTrade(m): 10:17am On Mar 18, 2021 |
id4sho:I'm in PH. The crankshaft is 150k here. He say them go change gasket,seals,bore the block,change piston and rings,then we put proper oils henceforth. The guy na specialist for hilux here in PH and he does Agip people's truck. Nnaaaahhhh!! |

SeaTrade: The onlyv broad reason why the engine is that expensive is because it isn't available in many vehicle sold in US and vehicles as late as 2016 were still fitted with the 2TR, not because it is made of gold and silver. 2 Likes |
Re: Problem With My Toyota Hilux by chronos00: 4:11pm On Mar 18, 2021 |
nurey: The part about it not being available in any US market vehicle isn't true, I own a 2005 US market Tacoma with the 2.7l 2TR engine from the factory. |
