Hello Delica.ca,

The head on the ol' L300 cracked about a year ago and I'm finally ready to tackle the job. My van is parked uncovered in the backyard, no hydraulic lift or air tools. Grungy backyard mechanic! I'll be doing the updates in real-time so it might take awhile. I'll endeavor to be as...

I have a L300 with an 4d56 and am wondering if the head can be removed with both manifolds attached. Could I be so fortunate. Any thoughts appreciated...thank you.

Auto hubs spin the cv joints and front differential all the time. Manual hubs do not so you have less wear and tear and better fuel economy.

One of my tires got a crack in the sidewall. This presented a surprisingly difficult problem. You can't put a new tire on, because it will be less worn that the other three, and hence will have a larger diameter. This can apparently wreak havoc with your transfer case in 4WD (though a lot of this...

Maybe a foolish question but is there any reason swapping an engine from a manual transmission l300 into an automatic would be problematic? Or would work great?

It could be a burnt valve or valve seat, but that would usually show *some* compression. Zero compression means a very large hole.

It could also be the head gasket- but again, if there's zero compression you'd hear the air chuffing out the gasket when the engine was being cranked.

That does look like steam to me. Lots of steam.

Coolant leaks showing up by the alternator are usually from the water pump, either the main seal (new pump needed) or the O-ring on the back of the pump which seals the heater bypass pipe. Neither fault would cause coolant to be in the exhaust...
