KZN130 Service information help.

[brianrheffron]

HILUX noobie here and looking for various bits of information
for my KZN130 auto that I can't find on the web or in workshop manual.

1. Can anyone direct me to a service schedule.
I've worked out the main oil and filter changes, etc but am
worried that I am missing something vital.
2. Does the 3ltr turbo diesel have hydraulic tappets or adjustable ones.
If adjustable what are the required clearances.
3. Timing belt. Is the 3ltr turbo diesel an "interference" engine, i.e.
if the timing belt snaps will the pistons hit the valves.
4. What is the capacity of the diffs so I can buy roughly the right
amount of oil.
5. Original owners book specifies DEXRON II for the auto box and
auto transfer box but Roughtrax on-line shop sells only DEXRON III.
Is the newer spec DEXRON III OK to use.

Thanks in advance for all help.

This should answer most of your questions.

3 and 5 are both, Yes.

I'm no mechanic, but after replacing my own timing belt recently, I figured that as the belt was only connected between the top pulley and injection pump, then all it can be doing is driving the pump. If that is correct, then the connection between the top and bottom pulley's must be internal....chain or similar. Am I wrong?

Sounds to me you only changed the auxiliary belt and not the timing belt

Did you take the plastic shroud off at the front of the engine and replace the toothed belt underneath it.

A timing belt wont fit the grooves very well though would it. H

Bottom pully has gears behind that drive the inj pump. Inj pump drives the cam (top pulley) by belt.

Certainly did....tensioner, water pump, 3 x aux belts and stat at the same time too!

OK, so if the inj pump drives top pulley and not the other way round as I described it, if the belt should snap, then there should only be one pulley (cam - top one) which becomes disengaged. Would this then cause any damage? The way I understood it, there would have to be at least two of the pulleys which become disengaged to throw things completely out of sinc. I'm just trying to think logically here, but like I said earlier, I'm not a mechanic so probably completely wrong??

There are 2 pulleys disconnected. Think about it, there is a direct connection between the crankshaft and camshaft.

And it would cause damage if the belt goes.

Or put in simpler terms.
On a push-bike, you are the 'engine' providing power to pedals (crankshaft) which turns the rear sprocket (camshaft).
If the chain breaks while you are applying power, you damage your plums! (valves)

Brilliant!

Brought a tear to my eye just thinking about that.

Having trouble explaining the way I understood the setup to work, so I'll just shut the £*%* up for now, bow to those who are experienced in this sort of thing and get back in my box again.

Cheers all,
