Toyota Land Cruiser Head Gasket Problems? WHAT IS GOING ON?!

We take a look at a 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series with a Head Gasket Problem. This is definitely a surprise but it is a machine after all and age is taking it's toll a bit.

We discuss how the small head gasket leak was discovered, what caused it and a closer look at the awesome UZ series V8 engine from Toyota.

As an owner of an 05 with over 320k miles, I want to see more 100 series content! Thank you for sharing your knowledge of Land Cruisers with us 🙏

The fact something this complex has only just now after two decades had a material failure simply from age and not from its design is incredible.

This guy is a certified encyclopedia of Toyota information. I admire his deep knowledge and passion for these vehicles

Sent in the oil for analysis after each oil change, wow that is dedication.

My 99 has 489k, and has taken me and my 2 boys and their family all over this country to different state parks for camping and amusement parks. Many beach excursions and has never left us stranded. Like he said this engine is so smooth and quiet sometimes it hard to tell if it's even running. Royal purple synthetic Oil changes every 3000 miles no matter what. One day one of my boys will get my truck and I'm sure it will have 400k more by that time.

There is something so satisfying about listening to someone who is very knowledgeable about what they’re talking about. I don’t care what the video is titled on this channel. I never miss one. Plus that outgoing message always makes me smile. ❤

01 with 320k miles here (4.7 v8). Amazes us weekly! If our HG’s ever fail, we will definitely have them replaced and keep driving this amazing truck.

I have 1992 Toyota SR5 4X4 PU with 3.0 V6. The head gasket blew at 70, 000. Toyota replaced for free due to the head gasket recall. At 150, 000 they blew again. Again Toyota replaced for free. This time they said they installed the new and improved head gaskets and the honed my cylinders for free. It now has 500, 000 miles and still running strong and smooth. I have an Amsoil bypass filter on it since new and only run Amsoil in the engine, diffs, trans and transfer case. I grease the 13 zirk fittings on the drive shaft religiously with Amsoil synthetic grease. This truck will never die.

Hats off to the owner for changing the oil! As an aircraft mechanic, I have never seen an engine look that good with that many miles!

RE: Intake manifold problem..i have spent half a day trying to get two bolts off. I work in the street, or driveway, and when you gotta get to work monday morning, and you spent all saturday afternoon fighting a couple tough bolts you start getting nervous, when all the pressure is on you, its not easy.😢 waaaah😂

My wife’s 2004 Lexus RX330 just hit 260, 000 miles and still runs like a dream. Nothing but routine maintenance at the appropriate milage points. We’ve even taken it off road. Doesn’t even leak or burn any oil. Incredible vehicle. Built like a tank.

It’s nice to see someone with an SUV like this actually use it for its purpose. Not just like most people who only ever drives it on the road.

[junboo]

I would change starter, manifold and everything that will save me money in the future. This Land cruiser is niceee.

[dillonvierling]

I love listening to YT mechanics gush over the great design and production of the 2UZFE

[williameddy]

May the Lord Bless and Keep You to AMD and your family...Thank You

[dawnpoint]

Those UZ V8s are the best engines made EVER.

[strc]

I’ve had a 00 for almost 8 years and 250k on it. Love it to death and I will always fix with oem. I’ve worked at a Toyota shop for 21 years and I know these are built to last!
