I have a VN Series2 V6 fitted in a Hilux 2wd with a 5speed Toyota box behind it. I bought the enine 2nd hand with 165,000k's on it. There is a grinding/ whirring sound coming from the engine. I have elimnated the box as the cause and also taken the belt off the front of the motor to eliminate the pumps and alternator, etc. Noise follows engine revs. No noise on start up and starts to "whirr" after a couple of minutes running and is constant. (And no my wife is not in the car! Ha!) Sounds like a blower whine. Engine makes good power and drives fine. I can sometimes feel it vibrate through the steering wheel and the floor of the car.
Got a feeling it may be bearings. or even a crank thrust bearing maybe.
Any clues before I pull the engine guys?
Thanks Freddy
