Been a while.
Turns out the smoking 2B engine was not blown... I had new clutch placed and new glow plugs...
Glow plugs were the culprit... Now no smoke except a small amount at the stink pipe.
I have 2 3B engines that were gonna be rebuilt and at the ready. Now I only need one for the fj-55. (Neither is for sale at this point.)
Weird.
Electrics and shorts were found and fixed by my mechanic.
I drove her today for 25 miles and drive train is great!
Now off to other issues, but I'm happy and driving her for the first time in 2.5 years.
More to follow.
Best,
