Engine Blow-Ups

[ozm29c]

Attached is a photo of what remained of my Toyota Landcruiser 80 series 1HDT big end bearings. The rest of the bearings were in the sump in tiny pieces. I managed to catch the engine before # 2 and 5 conrods disintegrated. Believe me this engine failure happened in seconds, all was fine then a loud knock knock knock and stop. I was towing my horse float with horses aboard.
I purchased this vehicle years ago second hand unaware that it had not been returned to Toyota in its warranty period to have the bigend bearings replaced.
Apparently 1HDT engines are still prone to bigend bearing problems.
