New Motor For Land Cruiser 100 Series

[blowery]

I just joined forum. I have a 2001 LC and at 151,000 the crank shaft bearings failed. I bought the LC from and older couple with 98,000. They took very good care of it and I did too.
Friend found a 4.7 block and I got an engine built. After 8,000 miles, coolant is pouring out exhaust manifold. Don't know what I'm going to do next.

Strange to hear of the crank bearings failing to begin with, not a known issue at all on the 4.7.

Sounds like headgasket failure, which also isn't a common thing on the 4.7. Who did the rebuild? Pouring out of the exhaust manifold? Like around it??? Smoke out of the exhaust?

I don't think I've heard of coolant pouring out of an exhaust manifold.

Gray market diesel swap??? Not the cheapest but big points for “cool” factor. ?

Find another 4.7. No need to change the wheel here. The bonus is you could easily do the major PM with engine out and then throw it in for piece of mind. That engine should last for a long time with very minor maintenance, and timing belt/water pump/ tensioner/ fan bracket done at 90k intervals.
