Johnny.
what whats the cost of that service and like Kid asked how long did it take.
"Fellas you all gotta start to post pictures and vids and stuff." it really helps.
Kid you gotta show me how to post vids on you tube bro.

Johnny servicing at 300 000km ... wow... that's good to hear.

Saeid... with that 2 weeks... you need to prioritize. W2J from the forum (Teknet) might be able to help you with the K&N.

Kid are you going to get the Prado's fuel pump serviced?

Saied,to replace the four injector tips was $1100.00 and to service the pump was $930.00 inclusive of repair kit and seals.The whole job took 3 days and it is backed by a full 1 year warranty.

some more work done on the prado. still wasnt cooling enough so i replaced the radiator cap, the old one was keeping the pressure but was completely rusted. noticed an immediate difference. had the oil changed to castrol turbomax 15w 40...well she workin now! accelerates alot smoother and with less effort. the engine itself runs a bit quieter and all the lost power has been recovered. put in a bottle of redline fuel treatment as well it smokes less but its still noticeable. also noticed that it only smokes excessively when the a/c is on. also did an engine wash,underwash,oil spray,and greasing. There are a couple things that still need some work. still overheating but nowhere near as much as it used to( illl try redline water wetter) , still smoking though not as much, and sometimes i hear this rattling sound from the engine, happened while i was 'testing' the performance and it slowed momentarily before accelerating. the rattling only lasts about 1 second though.
