Hello,
I just recently got my hands on a J reg 1992 Hilux Surf 2.4TD SSR Limited.
It was quite cheap so i wasnt expecting anything near perfect.
Anyway, i was told of a tappet problem. Previous owner said that he changed the head last month, but before he did it tappets were quiet. Anyway put the new head on, with new tappets, and its ok when just in park, and ref a bit, its when its going, once in top gear and around 60 it can be really annoying.
Any ideas?
I sent basically the same question above to a local garage, there reply was;
"Possibly just want adjusting - may have worn rocker or camshaft. (Probably why so cheap?!)
By all means bring it in and we can have a look. Then we could price up properly.
Thanks
