I own a 4.0L 6cyl petrol 1985 landcruiser (toyota call the 4.0L a 3F, earlier 4.2L were 2F). I believe in the 70's & 80's toyota & chev were in bed together and the 4.0L is from the chev stables, right? <br /><br />On the weekend the crankshaft snapped in half at 65 Mls an hour, bang!Pop! clunk,clunk,clunk. Up until that point I had good oil pressure and it was running smooth but I do drive it hard (pics will follow when I've pulled it down). This is the second time in 10 years. Whats going on with these chevs, was there a casting fault that anyone knows about or am I cursed?<br /><br />Aldo
<br /><br />I believe that's based on the old Chevy 235cid, "StoveBolt 6".........<br />Even with a good Full Engine Balance Job,<br />They weren't real Winders......<br /><br />Toyota is probably still using Cast Iron Cranks..??
