Fixing a rattling Landcruiser engine

A short but hopefully useful video. The 1HD-FTE engine in our landcruiser has many rattling noises in the engine, but one of them is caused by valve clearances which are out of spec. It's one of the things we wanted to eliminate while diagnosing our smoke problem. Here's how it's done. Hopefully this will help other amateur mechanics.

Great work! since you've got access to a lot of other components..a great opportunity to;
1. replace valve cover gasket
2. intake manifold gasket
3. timing belt and tensioner
4. water pump + thermostat, coolant flush
5. crossover pipe gasket
6. intake cleaning

I've checked mine 3 times on the 1HD-FT, basically the same engine, I've owned for the last 19yrs and 85k+ miles and they don't move much. It seems a strange setup if you haven't come across it before with the tappet and valve bridge but the build quality always impresses me.👍

Dude, exceptional! Very useful and definitely the most detailed video on the subject. Great work.

Always worth watching someone new.
Two tips I picked up.
The adjustable spanner to hold the part before cracking the nut. Top tip. That could save a bucket full of trouble.
Second. A piece of wood to put your tools on!

Hi do you have a link to the service manual

[liamlambert]

Any chance you have a video on how they sounded while the car was running?

Great work I'm learning 1HD fte
Where is the knock sensor and fuel temperature sensor ?
And if you have a link for diagram sensors for 1HD FTE😊
And does diesel have Camshaft sensor ?

My Toyota land cruiser 1hdte-ftv not started till I spray quick start what can I do?

I thought you rotated the engine to another mark to the left on the timing case for valve lash settings

That's funny...
6 people I know with a 1HD-FTE, 400, 000km and older...
All found thier valve clearances pretty much in spec.
Yours is the only motor I've seen out...
Weird
