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..

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

GAZZUZZ:


Did you run out of engine oil

SeaTrade:
Yes,it did.
Will gauge again this morning to confirm.

GAZZUZZ:


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

id4sho:

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

TRYGO:


2008 is modern, and has engine block and cylinder head, made of aluminum.

TRYGO:


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).

GAZZUZZ:


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.

id4sho:

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?

what model year are those ones?

SeaTrade:
Engine don come down ooo,I dey look at wetin dem dey call 1.7m for ,I no dey see am.
Make them pieces am now make i see.

nurey:


The onlyv broad reason why the engine is that expensive is because it isn't available in any 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.
