seems I have been offered a 1HD engine with 220,000klms at a price I
can't pass up
hope to have it fitted to the 100 series by around Easter

be good to be able to tow the boat along the highway and keep it it top gear

the exhaust has to be changed, well the front part so I might as well do
the lot,  Intercooler? hmmmm maybe later and the standard turbo will be
fine gor what I  want
I don't think my drive train could handle the extra grunt from a
Hiclone, I'm sure I'd need top fuel dragster gear for that

Well I got the flywheel and new clutch fitted and cleaned some of the
dirt off it(been sitting under a cover under a bench in a shed that is
used for painting camper trailers with hammertone paint, the overspray
gets everywhere, even under the cover over the engine)

Spiffy looking clutch it is too, 4Terrain brand, Pressure plate has 30%
higher clamping pressure, clutch plate is normal on pressure plate side
and button clutch type on the flywheel side. $650 for that one
should handle the extra power no problem at all

Perfect opportunity to strip it clean and repaint the motor! make sure its a nice glossy paint job
so the mud doesn't stick so well   ;o)

Hmmm maybe not
but I am going to replace the big ends since it is the older engine,
just to be sure, which reminds me I better go look for torque specs for that

Getting to be a bit of a saga here
The guy who was transporting the other guy with all the gear has come
down with a bad flu, I'm sure that cough sounded more like an Oink
so he's hoping Sunday or Monday

Mate suggested I should change the bearings while I had it out
as a last minute decision I followed his advice.
Glad I did
this engine is obviously one of the early 1HDs that hadn't had the
bearings replaced by Toyota as it hadn't failed when new
this is at 225,000klms

http://members.optusnet.com.au/pics/bearing3.jpg
http://members.optusnet.com.au/pics/bearing4.jpg

wouldn't have been long before the set on N0. 3 big end went

Otherwise
it's running great
smooth idle, no adverse noises
goes very well
takes about 3/4 of the time to reach 100kph than it did before
When I was on the way home last night I had a trailer on with the old
engine, engine crane, engine stand, 20L oil, 20L old oil & coolant
and will all the tools and gear and it still went better than the old engine

Now I just have to get the exhaust connected up(running straight out the
dump pipe, surprising very quiet) and an air filter adapter made
up(running a pod I stole from my daughters car)

If anyone is interested
I'll be selling the 1HZ for around $3500 next month
297,700klms and used no oil between changes, comes with Geni Wildcat
extractors, clutch, new rear main seal and I may throw in a new power
steer pump seal kit

Looks like you may have just caught it in time.
I'm trying to remember the original problem with that engine and the
fix, if I remember correctly it was either a bad batch of shells or
incorrect material and the new spec bearings fixed it with no further
problems?

It was the bearing shell material, it was prone to delamination
there wasn't any problems with crank damage as the material was very soft

and yes a better bearing material fixed the problem

So the various dealer's service managers were no doubt instructed to say.

I haven't seen an engine yet where a bearing problem left the crankshaft
undamaged. If not visible by naked eye then most certainly when touched with
a mike.

> and yes a better bearing material fixed the problem

It's difficult to tell the exact cause of the failure without looking at the
back of the shells, but the photo's showed shells that looked like they'd
suffered from insufficient oil clearance. Different bearings with the exact
same material machined to the correct oil clearances most likely fixed the
problem.

There also appeared to be signs of excessive crush on at least some of
them (markings and damage adjacent to the parting lines).  But, as you
say, without seeing the backs (and the tunnels they came out of) the
real cause remains far from conclusive.

The bearing material being "too soft" I certainly wouldn't buy on the
basis of what's been shown.

Presumably they're aluminium (as the damage tends to indicate) rather
than babbit?

Actually "Too soft" might not be correct
the separation was common and a replacement set of bearings fixed the
problem

I'm going to ask more about it in the LCOOL forums

the journals were still in good shape and showed no sign of scoring or
marking at all

It isn't too much of a problem as I have a spare block that I am going
to rebuild at a later stage

They may have looked okay to the naked eye, but I'd be checking them with a
micrometer. I'd at least be using plasti-guage when assembling the engine at
the minimum or you might find yourself with shitty oil pressure.

> It isn't too much of a problem as I have a spare block that I am going to

I don't know how predominant the problem was with these engines, but I'd be
having the crank tunnels checked.

Doesn't surprise me at all... but I'd still have 'em miked, if you
don't have the gear to do it yourself.

Having the affected journals linished (polished) by an engine
reconditioner is also highly desirable whenever bearings are replaced.
(It's essential for nodular iron cranks if you want a decent service
life from the new bearings, though yours may be steel.)
