Changed the title up. Still, It’s just a hobby, I don’t need to try that hard. I’ll just keep the future stuff in the entertainment section.

I get it. The “self promoting” of a YouTube channel sucks. I can hold off posting in the 80 series thread and keep it in off-topic.

If you want I can stop posting? Not a big deal.

Turns out, with enough effort, you can turn an easy job like bleeding the brakes into replacing all the calipers. Also giving away a cool piece Solvefunction made up for me, so that’s neat.

I just recently started a rebuilt 1FZ, from a 94. I don’t know the shop that build it, but I’m seeing some issues in quality… I am running the “break in” oil right now, but I can shoot a quick video next to the plan if you’d like?

These are the three I can clearly get a photo of. Apparently the “rebuilder” was not concerned about the plugs being flushed. From what I can tell, all three are inserted past the block edge on the top, and the bottom has a protruding lip from the block edge. The weeping coolant is barely...

Nailed it.

Solid feedback man. I usually jump straight to the worst case scenario, but I’ve been poking around the freeze plugs, (the two seeping) and it appears to be install error. Again, I bought the 80 with a “fresh” rebuilt engine, and this is the first time putting any liquids in it. Those two plugs...

Hell yeah buddy.

Gang I just got my 1994 FZJ80 started up for the first time. This is a cruiser I purchased with a “rebuilt” engine, but I haven’t gotten it to run until today. At the end of my video, there’s some seepage from the freeze plugs… Watch the whole startup, or skip to the end to see the leak is. Am I...

Trying to tie up some wiring issues, where to mock up the winch box, what “running lights” are and some other odds and ends before the big day. Also doing a giveaway for a “coveted” FJ60 part. Have a watch…

Installed the battery tray. If you can’t tell I’m stressed. Getting really close to starting this “rebuilt engine” I put back together, and the potential for failure is high. Installed a dope little adapter Ryan Eklund makes to help the alternator with the AGM battery. Firing up soon…

Honestly dude, I was not worried about heat until the feedback I started getting 😆 It’s a little something I like to call “peer reviewed research and design” or PRR&D.

Same here.
