Nojohndoe Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I have an aging Hilux 3.0 l turbo diesel that still performs extremely well but for the fact that very recently the valve guide seals have suddenly collapsed/cracked/disentegrated. I am curious to know if anybody in Thailand has ever had such or similar remedial work done in any workshop and at what cost? I have enough experience to undertake the job myself but extended time leaning into an engine bay with a bad back has no appeal at all anymore. That plus playing with dirty black diesel grime lost any appeal many years ago as part of 4 years employment in heavy machinery maintenance and repair.

canthai55 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If all that is wrong is the seals, the head does not need to be removed. Buy genuine Toyota seals - not jobber. Any competent shop can do this for you. I would Not use the Toyota dealer as they will farm the job out and charge you extra for the service.

I haven't had to do anything like that but if I get a problem I go to a "Cockpit outlet" try there first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The older I get the more I like the OEM for critical parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
