Good point on the oil in the piston. I did think that I had more valve noise at idle than usual afterwards. How does one get the oil out if there is any? Just cylce it for a while?
Can anyone point me to a thread or two about what to check before trying to start my '77 FJ40 after a roll over? It sat on its side for about 2 hours before being righted and I don't want to screw it up.
The oil level is fine and it all looks like it should start but.....

Good point on the line connections John, and no I have not. The one picture is not that great but the line you mention has a loop is actually a tee that continues on to ?? Will have to print out a schematic and have a look... Anyone have a link to the best schematic for this? I have found a few...

Thank you for the input
I replaced all the hoses, well almost all as I bought 21 feet (all they had) and still was short! I cut the ends off of a couple old ones and used them instead for just a couple shorter sections.
I was able to bring up the vacuum to 16 at idle but it moves a small...
...It took me 3 weeks to find why I had no spark and in the end after replacing the coil, coil wire and banging my head a few times not wanting to f** with the points, the points themselves had a hairline crack in the spring band that fell apart in my hand when I finally removed them.
That...

Thanks for the advice and will do on the thread.
My initial reading was 8!
I only cut the ends off of the three lines that go into the manifold fitting and it went up to 15 (or down to)
Hmmm vacuum leak perhaps? I think I might be due for some new lines. Will start that thread though and see...
Thx,
I just want to get all the vitals before I ask any questions. I have pics that I will upload as well so ya'll can take a look at the spagetti of vacuum lines I have wew!
