um why doesn't it? because it ain't gotzz a blowie attached making it a 2L-T(turbo) All Lseries engines L 2.2 2L 2.4 and 2L-T 2.4 turbo (blowie) are the same block
Yes that is a 2L 2.4L motor, last forever which is good cos they take forever to get anywhere!

Yep,last forever,provided u replace cracked cyl head,radiator,and overhaul injection pump.(Based on my time as an engine reconditioner)

don't forget oil pump drive when changing cam belt frank, more of the 2,4's have died from lack of oil than the other causes

It looks like the Mk 1 2L with the roller rockers and screw adjustable tappets. The later 2L's had shim bucket tappets. I also seem to remember that the 2L-T had a different a crankshaft, supposedly stronger.

Tintops ? Where! Where?
Oh - have a Hilux 2.4D as well - 300,000 k at the moment, About half way through its life I reckon.

Yep 2L = 2400cc non turbo roller rocker head
Should run ok in that ute body but don't expect anything flash in the way of performance. IF the cooling system has been kept clean including the inside of the radiator, then it's a dang good reliable engine. I used to get around 9.5L/100kms average out of my 2L=T Surf but thats a far heavier body then that ute. Typical old diesel where they go about as well empty as they do fully laden. Not fast but when you understand where the most torque is & which gear to use, then they are happy keeping up with the general traffic & ok on hills.
It was the later model "Tin top" shim tappet head engines that had the most problems with cracking heads.

This is the engine top gear had a go at destroying I doubt any of these heads cracked on non turbos I fitted. The 2,2 in my 90 ln130

I recently sold my Hilux with a 2L motor, had 350k on the clock, didn't drip, drink or smoke, spent most of its life getting abused on the farm. And as for "lack of power", I didn't really expect any from a big, heavy non turbo cast iron lump. In fact, I was quite happy with it.

Being an old auto performance is least of my worries it's for my auntie to move stuff for her new house.

best thing she could own it will outlast her if the chassy is not rotted . my engine came from a ute on a dargaville kumara farm the ute had snaped in half and the water they filled in to the engine had rotted a 2 finger big hole in to the aluminium front housing. got that welded up and a new pipe attached to it and its going ever since. Only thing they can do is eat glowplugs if the injectors are worn and thermal shock the glowers when they spray on to them glowplugs instead of past the plugs.

Yep thats great. The only real thing to remember about driving an older non turbo diesel is they have NO power unless you keep the revs around 2000rpm to 4000rpm Anything under or over those rev limits & theres pretty much nothing worth having. Ie: gutless under 2k / simply wasting rev's over 4k, particularly when hauling a load & climbing hills.
Turbo models have their best power between 2k & 3k & well worth it

:) My dog has 'owned' ours ever since he was a pup.
I am not allowed to go anywhere without him on the back - although he prefers to be in the cab when it is raining. ( saves him stinking out the house when we get home too) :) So guess I am stuck with it for the next couple of hundred thousand k's

Never ever seen or heard of a non turb(non tin top) cracking a head. Most of the **head crakas** were imports with too small an exhaust bore dia and too high a thermostat temp. [Let alone as always ota used the same head turb and non turb and extra load and age and mileage can and does show that in time. ]
