  1. Hello Have a 22r 2.4 litre reco gem petrol motor in a rn85r 1989 hilux.At 40000 klms timing chain was replaced due to loud rattle, confirmed by removal of tappet cover.Job was done by japanese auto clinic so the correct length chain would have been used,was $65 for the chain.Still have the rattle but not as severe, have also reduced the frequency by using a shorter oil filter.Rattle was loud today when doing oil+filter change.Enquired with another mechanic and he mentioned that gem shave the block and the head, this would reduce the distance between the top and bottom sprocket and could be the problem.Could you just remove a link in the chain or does any one else have any suggestions.Bought the ute with the reco+the auto clinic was a very negative experience,shall not return.Any help appreciated.Less than 3000 klms on new chain Thank you
  2. Hello Have decided to replace my 22r engine due excessive oil consumption+noisy cam chain{toyota mechanic says its a sticky cam aduster or low oil pressure}Gem reco with less than 40000 klms.compression around 150 lb, have also used seal up due to water loss. My problem is I only wish to remove the motor.Appears to me it is basically impossible to access the engine to transmission bolts on the top.Is there a special tool or some method to doing this.I have limited height to remove engine so am unable to remove engine and auto together.My sevice manual only has removal as one unit.Previously had an old 67 xr ford and could remove+replace engine in a day by myself.Any clues where to find info would be appreciated. Thank you John
  3. Hello Thank you for the advice recieved.Am still unable to find out why the cam chain tensioner some times holds pressure on chain when engine is turned of so no rattle on start up. Other times a hell of a racket till oil pressure builds up. Some times with rocker cover the variation in chain tension can be seen to be tight to a bit slack to very slack.My first hilux 22r so if I pull the coil wire out tll it builds up oil pressure could I delay replacement of the chain for another 5000 klms without causing damage and more costs in the future. Thank you John 62
  4. Hello Conrod This cam chain should only have about 40000 klms on it.Have left rocker cover over night and checked cam chain this morning cold engine.Was tight and no rattle on startup.It appears that at times the tensioner sometimes holds pressure on the chain after motor is turned of,bit confusing.Should chain still be replaced or is it a problem with the tensioner Friend just checked my problem, his suggestion is access the pistion which activates the chain tensioner and remove for repair and maybe replace chain otherwise within a short period with only a new chain problem may return.The link connecter is the same as my lawnmower Checked chain price with repco.They have 2 chains 98 links or 96 cost $25 would this be a quality chain.Thank you
  5. Thank you conrod I rechecked the timing chain when the motor was cold, there was notable play on the the passenger side.My failing to notice before was maybe that I had a hot motor to adust tappets.I was unaware that oil pressure engages the cam chain guides to take up the slack.A local Japenese auto clinic can replace the chain with the cut and feed through method for $150-$200.This is unexpected from a gem reco with less than 40000klms The engine numbers match the reco receipt.Does continue to use more oil than any ford I have owned.Not burning clean plugs no rear smoke+no oil underneath was told it could be the incorrect oil was used during the running in period.Starting ute with tappet cover off made it b obivious.Also the lack of power could be the change from my 67xr 4.1 4 speed manual to a 2.4 4 speed automatic Not enjoying being an OB Also it appears to be major job to put in a timing kit with the 22r overhead cam,am concerned about the cam chain guides not being replaced with the method mentioned previously Thanks for your help.
  6. Thank you for your advice.I checked the the timing chain when i adusted the tappets seemed b tight.This rattle may happen on 2-3 startups then not occur for the next 2-3 times.Also at times the ute seems to travel uphill okay then my 4 sp auto goes back to second on a straight steep uphill run.An example on a hill near home on a good day over the top 60-65 klm, motor not happy its 40-45 klm Have same ute for spares have allready tranfered parts without change in problem. compression seems okay gem reco with about 40000 klms.Was overheating before radiater+ clutch fan change."Friend" changed inlet manifold gasket due to it sucking air, had external water leaks after repair which seemed to stop but it was still using water so I added seal up,now no leaks.The rattle appeared about the time the gasket was changed the lack of power was evident prior to gasket change.Drove old falcons for 40yrs these "late model" cars are a bit more difficult to sort out Thank you
  7. Hello Thank you for the advice have a new vacuum advance on order.An added problem now is the rattle I was hearing on start up,now occurring more often.Before only on first start,some cold starts no rattle.Is a gem reco about 35000 klm Was using oil, may have been run low before I bought it.Have adjusted tappets added morey to oil,was using water so seal up in the radiator.Can a bearing problem be isolated as the cause without pulling the motor apart to check.any other possiblities, checked cam chain when doing tappets.Is it much of a hassle after engine removal to just replace bearings with sump removal or should whole engine be stripped down what would be cost effective.second hand mt $900 I fit.Or credit card overload with workshop full reco at $4000 drop in and pick up. Not really an option for an 89 hilux, Any advice appreacated Thank you
  8. Hello Have a 89 rn85r 2.4 ltre auto hilux ute.The vacuum advance unit has 2 vacuum connections.The one closest to the radiator holds vacuum the other nil. what is the purpose of the inside vacuum connection,also does it have any negative impact if non functional.Engine compression okay runs okay.A gem reco with about 35000 klms uphill is like someone dropped the anchor.Have same ute for spares with allmost non functional vacuum advance its uphill travel is excellent in comparsion. have switched carby and dist+plugs and leads between utes, no change. Being an OB with health problems an engine change would be difficult.Any advice appreciated Thank you
  9. [Hello Am looking for the best exposure for my question, but do not know how to post a question 4 wheel drive commercial.This is all new to me Thank you
  10. Have a 89 toyota hilux with a petrol 22r 2.4 litre carb mt.Losing power on any incline.Could this be caused by a malfunctioning vacuum advance on the distributor.When sucking on the vacuum hose closest the radiator there is sufficient vacuum to increase engine revs,inside connection no vacuum at all.Could this be my problem Quote for new vacuum unit from repco $130 no complete distributor available.Engine was recod by gem about 35000 klms ago
