The story goes like this: the original 1.5F engine I currently have is getting a bit tired. It is all original and has not been out or apart except for a head gasket and 1 burnt exhaust valve that my father replaced when I was a kid. It hasn't needed much it's whole life. I know it is getting a bit low on compression and I can not seem to get the front crank seal to stop leaking oil. So I looked into rebuilding this engine to find that there are very few rebuild parts available. I will probably rebuild it anyway in the future. I happened to run into Justin from Redline Land Cruisers who provides the high output 2F. It has taken a year and a half to get, but hopefully it will all be worth it. Here are the specs:
- 9:1 Compression Custom Forged aluminum pistons
- RV camshaft .450 lift
- Full engine balance, port and polish
- New clutch and resurfaced flywheel
- “Tuned” 2 into 1 header
- Crank shaft line bore
- Full engine rebuilt complete
- New STRONGER valve springs
- New lifters
- 3 way valve job
- Beadblasted and clear coated aluminum valve cover and manifold
- Cam break in and initial motor break in procedure with valvoline oil and Zinc additive
- 150hp to the rear wheels on average. Dyno Tested.
- New unleaded valve seats
- New valve guides
I will be installing it and will be keeping the 3F fuel injection. I am not looking to build a racing cruiser. I am looking for Toyota reliability and hope this one will last for the next 43 years. I currently have a lot of parts to install (water pump, thermostat, spark plugs, ect.) and then I will install it in the coming month. The excitement builds!
