I have to move on short notice and don't have time to put it back together. Straight body with minimal rust in the typical locations. Engine has 15X,XXX miles on it. Was running when I pulled it but had several leaks. Pulled the engine to clean and re-seal it. Now I have no time to put it...

damn all that thing was stopping was a big pile of rust

thanks. i was hoping it wasn't something else to be replace before i drop it back in.

Back of the block, drivers side

i destroyed mine removing my engine a few weeks ago and need a replacement. any idea what the part number from summit was? i also saw a thread a couple weeks ago about a purpose built aluminum rad for the 60 made in california.

mine trips if i leave it set to max for too long. pretty sure i need a new blower motor as well. pulled it to clean it and the brushes are toast. someone posted a link where you can buy a new one for about $20.

i've got the exact same set up.

looks about like mine. been dealing with it for as long as i've had the truck. finally developed a leak at the timing cover that couldn't be ignored. once the engine warms up a bit i've got a steady stream of oil from behind the pulley. bought the gasket overhaul kit from ccot. figured i'd...

Used the search function but it isn't working for me this afternoon. Can anyone advise on this kit? Looks like a good deal for the number of gaskets and price but don't know of the quality. Recently had a catastrophic failure in what I'm assuming to be the timing plate gasket. A/C belt broke...

where's the fuel solenoid? just starting having a problem with my 84 yesterday. can't keep it running w/o quite a bit of choke and i'm still chasing the prob. also doesn't seem to be charging correctly but i don't see how the two are related. probably just got lucky and had two things take a...

i believe i'd drive it with that turd on there for a diesel with an h55

i wish there was a sticky thread with every post FJ40Jim has ever made. i could read that stuff for hours.

need to do this myself. horn died a few weeks ago, along with headlight switch. taillights went out a couple years ago. running both on a toggle from AZ.
