  1. That's value for money Luke lol I've ordered a set Neil
  2. That would be the best idea, bring on the dreaded crank pulley
  3. Ok so I'm needing to replace my oil pump, I see that there's 2 options, seal on pump and seal on block, what's the difference? I've not removed my pump yet but can any one of the 2 do the job or do I need to replace like for like? Neil
  4. Sounds like the throttle position sensor might need calibrated Or the timing could be out mate Neil
  5. I'm not trying to insult your intelligence but have you checked all vacume hoses, also a boost leak from intercooler pipes? Actuators not sticking open slightly?
  6. Do you have a dump valve Colin? Maybe sticking open not allowing boost to fully build up?
  7. Does these numbers make any sense to anyone as to what bearings I would order up? Neil
  8. It is a standard engine, and there is a number 2 on the shell Also stamped on the shell is OE1C Neil
  9. Ok I will measure it tomorrow, does anyone know the standard crank size? Also what's best bearing to use, would I be best buying genuine Toyota or go with ACL? Neil
  10. Luke you right I think I may be very lucky lol The oil pump hasn't done any more than 2k miles but there has definitely been a loss of oil pressure somewhere along the line as the oil light was flickering a bit on tick over so I will change that anyway but do you think there could be anything else that would cause a loss of oil pressure? Neil
  11. As title how do I measure my bottom end bearings (shells) to find out if they are standard size or oversized? Found this today after discovering a small rattle Think I've cought it in time as there is no damage to the Conrod or crankshaft I need to find out what size bearings to order up Any help appreciated Neil
  12. Removed sump and found this on piston 4
  13. UPDATE; Measured all valve clearances and results are Intake; 0.21 0.22 0.22 0.31 0.21 0.23 0.18 0.20 Exhaust 0.35 0.39 0.40 0.37 0.38 0.37 0.36 0.36 It appears that all exhaust shims are out of the 0.3 +-0.03 tolerance And one of the intake shims are out of the 0.2 +-0.03 tolerance I'm still not convinced that this is causing the noise Neil
  14. Just to add there is a crack in the exhaust manifold which is blowing only very slightly but I don't think that has anything to do with the rattling sound Neil
  15. My engine has developed a rattling sound that only occurs when at full running temperature and at around 2k rpm with no load on the engine, I don't think it's the bottom end but hopefully one of you guys can help Just to clarify I haven't driven the car any more than a mile like this I heard it on my way home on Sunday night Any help appreciated guys! https://youtu.be/u90ld5N6Wm4
