Hot & Perplexed
Hello all,
I have a 11/92 Hilux 3L/LN106 2.8L with 260,000kms on th clock. When the engine is under load (only wen towing) the temp gauge heads north, not quite reaching into the red but sitting on the edge of the white area. I have already flushed and cleaned the radiator, renewed the fan clutch fuid, replaced the water pump all to no-avail. It blows deep black smoke when under load wheather towing or not, injectors have recenty been replaced. My next step is a dyno tune as I have heard too much fuel or not enough can make these motors run hot. Does any one have any other suggetions on how to fix this annoying problem.

3l are renowned for cracking heads.

Motor recently stripped downand rebuilt, head went through a complete
test and reset of valves and came through with flying colours.

I thought it was the 2L for head cracking? If not why is it so common to replace the 2L with a 3L item??

i cant help with why people swap all i know is the other week when i did a change over job on a 3l our engine suplier asked we
check the head for damage because its pretty common and then if it was ok there would be no penalty on the head.

Had similar problem years ago, replaced the radiator with a new one. Problem solved.
Cheers Peter

Take it to a decent radiator place, but unfortunately, like battery
places first thing they say is "put a new one in!" then they look further. Black smoke, if its not turbo'ed can also be low compression
