Hi all, great site, hope you can help.
I had a 2lt hilux for 10yrs until it span a big end.
Bought a 2lte about 6 months ago which had the usual smoky start up but otherwise went great. Last week a loudish ticking noise started which sounded like it was from the sump. The ticking noise sounded the same as the 2lt before it spun a big end. It also wouldn't hold idle, it would stall unless you gave it a tiny bit of revs, as if a something was nipping . The ticking noise would disappear under normal driving and return when under no load. So we dropped the sump and took the mains and big end bearings out and they all looked fine, apart from 1 set of big end shells has different numbers on them????
Any ideas what else it could be?
Cheers
Craig
