I have a 1984 fj60 with a 2FE conversion with H55f. I replaced the clutch and flywheel a while back ago and when i removed the old flywheel it had groves worn in on the engine side of it that the new one didnt have. And where you press in the rear main seal the metal on the block is flat, shiney and sharp, thus cutting the seal on its sides when i tried to install it, leaving me with a permanent oil leak.
When the new fly wheel was installed and i depressed the clutch with the engine running it made a horrible metal on metal grinding noise. With my fj60 being my only transportation i had to deal with it (knowing it was the flywheel grinding.) After a while the grinding stopped and im assuming beacuse it had new grooves carved into it from the block.
Now when i open the clutch access plate i can move the flywheel front and back atleast half an inch, a crazy ammount to where i assume should not move at all.
Yes its ran out of oil before.
It holds near perfect vaccum.
It has 310k miles on the block
Head rebuilt about 40k miles ago.
The last compression test i did measured as such
1. 176psi
2. 160psi
3. 168psi
4. 168psi
5. 170psi
6. 178psi
Never seen any metal in the oil from an oil change.
My question is. With the block being grinded down where the rear main seal is. Can my engine be saved or rebuilt? Or am i gonna have to find a new block. Before anyone says it... under any circumstances i will NOT put a CHEVY engine in a TOYOTA truck.
