1991 Toyota LiteAce GXL from Philippines - Comments

Hi, I wish to know what's the purpose to add silicon gel to clutch fan? Add on which area?

The main purpose of adding silicon gel to the clutch fan is to make it more stiffer or to add more friction which makes the fan rotate as if it was glued to the engine shaft.

Thanks to this forum it help a lot to me to repair some problems of my toyota lite ace 1992 model, if any one could send to me a copy of owners manual, emai to boyet.rivera@yahoo.com tnx.

The engine is the heart of the car. Open the valve cover and check for sludge. Bring down the oil pan and clean the filter and the oil pan. Radiator should be cleaned at least once a year. Change alternator bearing and pulley bearing if you hear squeaking sound. Replace carbon brush of the alternator every 2 years. Replace alternator belt, steering belt, aircon belt if worn out and check the appropriate tightness of the belts to prevent damage of bearing. Replace water pump every 3 years. Clean the carburetor and air filter. These are some maintenance tips you can do to prolong engine life.

I experienced engine overheating even in 30 minute drives and the usual cause is a bad cylinder head gasket.

If you experience loss of coolant/water in your radiator and you find no leaks and your radiator is clean, the most likely cause of coolant loss is a bad cylinder head gasket.

I replaced mine with a cheap one (about P 400) and was no good, another set from a popular "made in USA" brand was also no good, until I bought one from the toyota dealer (about P 1K) and its already 5 months since the last change and I added only about a liter of coolant since that time.

To the person who posted that he/she hears ticking sounds every time the engine is started: have your timing chain replaced.

Hello guys! I bought a Toyota Liteace DX from 1992 a few months ago but my cylinder head has broken. Can you tell me a reliable website where I can buy one? I am from Romania so it is not easy to buy it from shops. Thank you!

Go go go...

Hello Lite ace peeps.

As for the power steering upgrade (my unit is a '96 GXL all-power except the steering), I will appreciate it if anyone can suggest a specific place in Manila to shop for surplus parts, and to post on the costs involved.

Thanks.
