She’s been parked in the corner of a Norwegian restoration shop waiting her turn to get the treatment, now Kenneth and his team have started to make progress, yes she’s from Sweden and I drove her here to the Telemark region in Norway where I’m...

Factory spec timing is what you want. With regards to valve clearance - inspect the underside of the rocker arms very closely, you are much better using a dial gauge than feeler gauges for a 2H.. they chronically wear the contact surface on...

If the injectors haven't been touched for a long time (150,000klms?) I'd just be getting them rebuilt personally.. What vehicle is this 2H in, weight, tyre size etc? What terrain is this 19L/100klm through? I wrote a small guide on maximising...

very nice!! I have removed 2 VERY stubborn crank bolts by removing the bolts flange. 6 shallow cuts, parallel to the each side of the bolts' body and it will pop right off effortlessly. if you are concerned about marring your balancer, just...

Yeah. So, won't be having that problem again. The machine shop guys said, "How about 3/8"? I said, half inch, and make it like four feet long. :D

been working on the truck a little ... begun the metal work , as I am a cheap ass mofo, Im not buying panels ... hammer and anvil time

I have a working 2H motor on a rolling chassis if you are looking for one. I have three more 2H’s in the shop that are in working order as well.

Well I haven't been much of a photographer lately but everything is done and in place . Wow ... I'm in love again . The difference is quite incredible , so smooth and quiet. Hoping it will last ! Everything work even the 4wd light that never...

Finished the assembly , everything seem to shift snoothly and it turns easily with no noises. Installation tonight ? Maybe 😂 if I can find a strong buddy to drop it off my tool chest (what a mess ... I know ....)

Recently used air and battery impact on a #36 crank pulley nut, spray and soak, and big extension, hammering the extension, and bumping starter (never again) and heating but not red heat, but only this tool with a mighty smash with heavy hammer...

I have 24v so two batteries in serie and the winch is a big wack in voltage (like glow sytem and starting) So when in use it drops to or below 12v (per battery, so 24v) and I rather leave the engine running but the alternator is a new old stock...

Here’s some dealer 4-Runner arm & blade nomenclature when I installed back in 2019. Should help in your further discussions with the dealer

Found this in owners Manual folded up in my Dads 1985 FJ60 Cruiser. He bought it new and said the salesman said he had 10 on the lot and that Toyota make him buy like one for every 20 compact cars they buy. Only option was choice of 4 different...

To me it is because you already have the parts and 5 speed is not as desired, especially with big wheels and a trailer 5 speeds sucks. I don't use 5th that much because you need to be on the flat straight highway and on a sand road 5th is not...

I figured it out. I found one available from CruiserYard just down the road near Austin and matched up the plug in the pic with the open plug nearby. I am at a total loss on how this disappeared. It's like someone came in and cut it and stole it...

The landcruiser has moved many trailers with tree stuff. edic relay rusted out a water spring in the mountains

And again we made it to Croatia, the edic relay was rusted with water so replaced it with the new type. Back to the burned dream. Entrance to 300 meter tunnel in murter, two cannon turrets and one small artillery position.

Was about time to make the engine look a little less... crusty. Painted everything i possibly could. Will attach fuel lines and headers when it's back on the chassis. New glow plugs, new sensors, new valve cover gasket, new filters, new belts...

Going to start uploading more progress. Have not been at it for a while due to work and house renovations. Welding the holes in the underbody proved to be really difficult/impossible to do properly with all the rust still there. Rented a...

I understand you took the valve out from the bottom. If you mount it back and take of the top hose then you can test the valve by slowly pushing it down into the bore .it should return easily without binding. If it binds you can give it a twist...

The valve and the housing are matched with a mark A to F Spring should be ok to reuse.

The valve can be stuck in the bore or the spring is to weak/ worn out .
