My L300 has just spat the timing belt and the motor is now more or less toast!

This van is located in Western Australia(Southern suburbs)

I had started to do some work to the van but had to stop as I needed it as a temporary work hack. The interior was being re-done(only just started) and a bed/huge stereo was on it's way in. It has 17" territory steelies with 225 and 245 low profile tyres.

The stereo is coming out but otherwise the van would be sold as is. It's FAIRLY good for an ex tradie but I'm not going to say it's in great condition(many small dents etc and some small bits of rust around windows etc. Also passenger window is a bit sticky(needs help getting back up)

Offers in th realm of $300-$500 would be good, it is a pretty good van otherwise soif you had the engine re-building stuff or a spare 2.0 block, it would be a good van. I can leave the bed/sub enclosure in there but subs etc would be removed(the bed/sub box is built in) this can all be ripped out if need be. The mattress is NEW(good quality trimmed 100mm foam) and has been slept on once(with a sheet and it was just sleeping for maybe 4 hours!)

The rims alone are probably worth $250 and the mattress is $120 also.

The door trims have been spiffed up and the rear tailgate panel has been re-trimmed also with 6x9" speaker locations/sound deadener. The front doors have two 6" speaker locations per door(yep it was a fair sized sound system!) and are re-trimmed in black fuzzy carpet type material and vinyl(both proper automotive trim) The rear tailgate also has 2 downlights:)

I can email pics etc of what I have. I just don't have the facilities or cash to put into this for the forseeable future. It is also as of next week out of rego (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Oh and the marks on the door are left over adhesive from the old signwriting(easily removed)

Would be very interested if this was in Adelaide! Shame....

Good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

BUMP!

Am happy to separate rims etc or specific parts if you need them!(not body panels etc, things like interior trim you may need (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

More pics

Jeez, you can see the rusted out tray of the hilux through the window (IMG:style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif) not my ute though

As you can see, got some bits in, false floor etc and door trims, stereo was mostly in and was about to fully sound deaden the rear and install the walls etc, then BANG, no engine.....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/crying.gif) Thats exactly what im after,BUT Vic to WA ????

I like the door cards, they look sweet. better than mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Sure you can't get a cheap block from somewhere and get it back on the road?? Maybe even some new pistons, ( i got mine on ebay for 50 bucks new) and some valves and get here back going again??

Have you had the head off, might just get away with valves!

Thanks, pretty simple to make and cheap:) My girlfriend designed them and I did the monkey work.




Don't have the facilities to do it on the cheap, limited tools and space. Already had my hyundai engine go this year which is getting replaced in the next week or 2. Like I said, just not going to happen! BTW as of yesterday, she is now unlicensed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Pic of rear door, couldn't get it any clearer due to light (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Quality back door too, i bet that thing cranks!

Shame about the motor though, if i were in WA i would offer my help...

How many klms.(hrs) it is exactly from Melb. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/auto.gif) WA ?

Its only 3432 km (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yeah....Its just way too far..Anyway back to the drawing board.My (duel-fuel) engine developed bit of a tappet noise (2Ltr. reco 35K klms)Ultra quiet for hours then tappet noise for 10-30 min. Oil change every 5000Klms (castrol 15-40) Cant get rad of it.Ive just pulled a tappet rail from a wrecked engine.But this one has adjustable tappets (mine is solid) Is it possible to replace'em ? Or is there anything else different which eye cant see ?
Tx in advance.

I found mine was always noisy unless using a thicker oil. I got the stuff for 'high km' engines and the noise went. It would come back though if the oil level dropped (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

And yes, it's a bloody long way from WA to Vic, especially towing a van!

A 94 L300 should have hydraulic ones dude. Mine are as noisy as at the moment, party because they were fitted upside down when i got it. Repco do them each for about 8 bucks, well worth buying new ones dude.

Do you know how to flush the old ones and reuse them??

I think u talking about lifters which our enginges dont have.See pic.My tappets dont have those adjusting bolts,they sitting directly on top of the valves and the other ends on the cam shaft.

Ok, looks more like an econovan set-up. Mine are hydraulic anyhow, thats what i was thinking off.

You can see with mine the underside of the lifters sticking out.

Bloody hell!!! Howe many different type of engines around??What year is urs ?

Close inspection of ur photo revaeled that definitly diff. engines.My fuel filter is small plastic one,oil filter is also small Z142.And inlet manifolds r diff.too.

Is yours a 4G92?? Mines a 4G63 so maybe thats the diff, i know 92's have the solid lifters.
