Hey all, new here. I have a 1989 Hilux LN106 2.8 3L that has excessive crankcase pressure & bad blow-by and just completed a complete tear down of the engine. Now time to rebuild.
My cylinders currently have sleeves/liners in them, does anyone know if this is stock for the 1989 LN106 2.8 3L? If not, then I’m assuming one of the previous owners overhauled the engine as well. My Max Ellery manual doesn't mention anything about sleeved cylinders. My machinist says it’s cheaper to bore out the sleeves than to pull them (he would have to make a tool to pull out that specific sleeve).
I see many overhaul kits online, but are there recommendations out there for where to pick up a quality complete overhaul rebuild kit w/oversized pistons? Thanks in advance!
Recommended complete overhaul kit?

Re: Recommended complete overhaul kit?
You can try Terrain Tamer I guess. You should be able to fit a KZTE or 3RZ without many issues though
Happy trails
