Ladies and Gents,I have finally managed to finish the conversion of my '96 HJ75 Land Cruiser to SVO. So far in about a week I have clocked up ~1000ks without any noticable loss of power, efficiency or issues... Or so I thought....
Whilst running on oil, ( and I'm fairly confident that it is a factor) I noticed some rather disturbing noises, followed by a number of jingles, and something bounced down the road behind me. I pulled over double fast, just as the engine started to stall from lack of fuel. Examining the engine side of the injection pump, there is a little cover missing, and two bolts (or their heads) missing. Once home, (other story) pulling the injection pump off, I found no obvious damage. however there is a "timer" which looks like a small piston with other bits in it as well, which appears to have moved out and pushed the cover off. Does any one know what this "timer" does? or how it works? and why is should move so violently?? I did hear a sound which to me sounded like perhaps some pinging every so often.
Has anyone else had a similar problem??
I believe my oil is hot, haven't actually measured it, but it has about 13m of heat exchanger length, all lines are insulated, and a heated tank.
Thanks for your help.
