CYLINDER BLOCK - INSPECTION

  • HINT:
Any digits beyond the 1/100 mm (1/1000 in.) place for standard, minimum and maximum values should be used as a reference only.
When both standard and maximum or minimum values are listed for an inspection, use the standard value as a reference only and base any judgments on the maximum and minimum values.
1. INSPECT NO. 1 OIL NOZZLE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Cylinder Block - Inspection. 3UR-FE ENGINE MECHANICAL. Land Cruiser URJ200  URJ202 GRJ200 VDJ200

Push the check valve with a pin to check if it is stuck.


If stuck, replace the No. 1 oil nozzle sub-assembly.

Push the check valve with a pin to check if it moves smoothly.


If it does not move smoothly, clean or replace the No. 1 oil nozzle sub-assembly.
