Next I got brand new OEM Toyota valve springs and retainers. Got them installed and fitted to the cylinder head. Went pretty well and the spring compression tool made it a breeze. Video of the installation of the valves, springs, and retainers...

Time to set the valve clearance between the cam lobes and the buckets/shims. If you've never done this, it is pretty easy. Just takes a little bit of time to install/remove the camshaft a couple of times to measure, move shims around, and...

Time to move on to the short block. We got the rods pulled, inspected the rod bearings, and we're going to order new OEM rod bearings. Also pulled the main crank bearing caps, and they look great. Washed and degreased the block. Started by...

Next steps in the evolution Parts still coming in…

ADS/SLEE make a great shock they are a 2.5" high performance shock like the King I have had a set on one truck and a set of King's 2.5" customs on the other truck. They both feel great. 1. I think any of the 2.5", King, Fox, ADS, etc are about...

Just did a four day road trip to Oregon in the Cruiser. Cheers

Custom 80 rear in the works. Jason TT

yes. yes, it is.

Turbo, 37s and 5 speeds would be a dream!

They are all amazing with enough boost! Haha. Obviously joking lower gears are always a plus offroad but with 35's and 4.10's on 19psi are great. lol

I've been running a large air-air we build for the 80 series 5.9 and 6.7 Cummins swaps for atleast a dozen years. There's around 65 of them out there running great in the wild. Water to air has been temperamental/unreliable/complex in the few...

100% I went through a lot of trial and error to get my system working. The last pump has been in about 5 years so knock on wood it’s pretty dialed now but yeah it was a pain in the ass.

I have an Air to water system on my 80. Have for 12 years.

This sounds like a fun cool build, the more every 80 looks the same the more I like the idea of things different like a sleeper. A turbo 1FZ is a fun engine with a lot of work to get it running off a stand alone, etc. An LS would also be huge...

I think the C&C kit is better in every aspect except for the actual turbo and the lines, the Pulsar turbo is a decent turbo but still a Chinese turbo that is a knockoff of more mainstream turbos but the Chinese turbos have come a long way and a...

No need to monitor IATs on a diesel, EGTs is what matters. I hear ya on idle vs air flow, not a newb bro. Just surprised at that low of an IAT at that ambient and under that load not to mention a cooker under the hood (turbo) raising under hood...

What do you mean by a charge cooler? An intercooler is a charge cooler. Do you mean an air to water vs an air to air intercooler? Or do you mean using A/C like the Dodge Demon to further chill the water in their air to water intercooler?

A G25 turbo is going to be WAY too small. That is a 48mm compressor wheel and even Garrett only recommends it for 1.4-3.0L engines. It has been several years but I posted all of the compressor maps and where you would need to fall on the map to...

Does just a chassis count? Sitting on 38” Patagonias. Cheers

You should see what a fully built custom cluster costs! I am stoked though that these clusters are a production item now. Cheers

I did a thing...

Just got the email today. Great news! We are a dealer for them (classic car shop). I’m sure this will be handy for many people doing swaps or just wanting modern functionality with stock looking gauges. These things are great and we use them in...
