The markup at my local dealer is insane. More of a convenience thing as well. Who else do you guys use?

I’ve been waiting over a month for my parts or an email reply from wits end. My 80 is my daily driver so I can’t have this kind of wait for simple psp rebuild and starter rebuild. I will never buy anything from him again amd I strongly recommend no one else does either. I will call Mastercard...

Where in Canada are you?

Could someone pass along the starter mounting bolt specs for the 1FZ-FE, having a really hard time getting anywhere?

Appreciate that, I'll order tonight

I developed a tick after changing to Rotella 15-40 with a NAPA gold filter. Never had one prior to the change. Why's that? Just change back to what I was running prior?

No it wouldn't unfortunately

Here's a photo of the HG in place

Thanks for all the replies guys. I took the rig to a shop. Turns out I blew my HG. I thought a compression test was a sure fire way to diagnose a HG failure. My gasket failed leaking coolant but maintained cylinder pressure. I have the LC stripped and am getting the head inspected early next week.

So I checked my PHH and its bone dry. I also fondled the heater control valve and the remaining heater hoses and all are dry. Anywhere else above the trans I should look?

Thanks, I should have mentioned i checked the PHH and replaced it during the swap. I will check heater core lines.

My 1993 FZJ80 has recently developed a steady coolant leak (a rapid drip to be specific) from what I assume is on top of the trans somewhere. It comes down the driver side of trans and drips of the lip of the pan. When I installed the donor 1fzfe I bypassed the rear heater hoses so I thought...

Between 3-5 seconds on a stopwatch. The previous motor had a thrown bearing so I never started it. Before I did all the work on the fuel system it started quick although it wasn't driveable due to lack of power. It does it on cold starts and even warn starts. Turning it over within 10 minutes it...

Turns out my rusty downpipes developed a small hole right by the o2 sensor. After I patched that hole the code hasn't come back after ~100mi round trip. Still have a frustrating long crank tho haha

No hissing when I open the cap and my mileage hasn't changed a noticable amount. I can do that, no emissions where I am so relocating to the manifolds has crossed my mind. I will be sure to check connections and associated wiring.
