I took apart my 2F a while back to give it a good cleaning and I now have some time to finish and put it back together. My question is what are the perishable parts in this process? I know I need a complete new gasket set for the block, head, timing cover, oil pan, etc., but are there any...
This is my transfer case and pto setup. I want to remove the pto gearbox as I can not get the shaft off and out of my truck any other way. The cylindrical gearbox is part of the pto gearbox, or the transfer case? The gearbox on the lower right with the shaft attached is Koenig as is my winch...
This is what the water pump looked like when I removed it. Assuming that the opening doesn't crumble when I clean it. I'll take everyone's advice and reinstall the water pump and move forward. Thanks for all the replies.

After close to 6 years, I finally found enough time to strip the interior and remove the body from the frame of my '66 FJ40. I've got my to-do list for the chassis (brake work, paint job, tires), but I'm really reluctant to undertake any work on the engine or drivetrain. Before I began the...
