Okay. Thank you. I need to look for that mark close to the 'BB' hole. I hope it's scribed into the metal and not just some crayon or pencil mark that has disappeared over the years. Thanks again.

I have been turning the crank by hand looking for the 'mark' to come around and line up with the pointer. What should that 'mark' on the flywheel look like? The first thing that came up when I was turning the crank was a machined hole in the flywheel, but not sure if that's it or just one of...

Thanks to all who have posted on this. Very helpful information. My biggest problem with this process (and 77 year old body) is seeing that mark on the flywheel. I do see a pin-like pointer in the small window at the flywheel right next to the corrugated cable passing by. Is this the pointer...

A couple questions on adjusting valves without starting engine: 1) With a 46mm socket on the crankshaft pulley nut, should I be able to turn the engine into position by hand using a 1/2 drive breaker bar and one or more spark plugs removed? 2) Having trouble eyeballing and accessing the timing...

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks. Since it's been running an outside temperature of 112 these days, I think I'll put it off till the fall.

Thank you.

Looking for procedure to remove and replace intake and exhaust manifold gasket on 1985 FJ60 with minimal removal of surrounding parts. Thanks in advance.

Yes, everything seems to fit. Getting it all back together now, but want to replace the diaphragm in the secondary vacuum actuator and cannot find one anywhere. The carburetor kit I bought for it has the gasket for sealing the diaphragm in the actuator body, but no rubber diaphragm. Tried...

I bought this FJ60 brand new in 1985. Used it quite a bit in the early years, but sparingly over the past 25 or so, mostly as a utility vehicle for hauling tools, lumber and construction materials. It's in good shape inside and out and cannot believe how many people ask about it when I'm out and...
