What’s the consensus about getting a 3b crank polished? I’ve had it done on some high horse power gas engines and high rpm bikes but I’m on the fence if I should even bother with a “tractor”motor… it’s a pia finding a good machine shop around here that really knows these old Toyota engines… 50%...

Also, don’t know if I can get oem gears. Haven’t looked into it yet. Thanks..

This is what they looked like…. Main bearings were perfect.. engine has 186,000kms the rest of the engine is perfect… well except for rocker assembly. They got toasted as well.. sent them off to get rebuilt..

Refreshing a 1985 3b. PO ran it with no oil. Luckily the only damage done was to the camshaft bearings… so now I’m trying to decide if this oil pump is any good… when I tore into it the larger gear was flipped arrow side down … I’ve always seen both arrows side up in previous oil pumps… is this...

Hi all, I’ve got an fj40 I was about to stretch and also have a bj73 that’s starting to really show some body rot. Was wondering if anyone here has done a 40 body on 70 chassis. The 73’s motor is in the middle of a rebuild and I was going to take the body off so I can strip and paint the frame...

Hi guys, anyone know part numbers TAIHO camshaft bearings? According to partsouq it should take Toyota 11802-56020 which is discontinued. They also list TAIHO C040A and C040L. Having a hard time finding specs for either of these. Thanks

Thanks! I’ll give japan4x4 a try!!

Thanks! I really appreciate that! I might take you up on that, if I can’t find anything!

lol I wish I could find a machine shop that’ll do it. I’ve called every machine shop that I could find online in a 100 mile radius and everyone of them said that they don’t repair them anymore since rocker arms are cheap to just replace…… I’ve even called a couple of our vendors for leads on...

Great! Please let me know if you decide to go that way. Thanks!

Would you be willing to sell the rocker assembly?

I have an early 3b and late 3b exhaust rocker arms and they both measure 18.4mm. I’m going to say that’s the same diameter shaft size. The late 3b is much beefier piece and has two oil holes whereas the early only has one. They both look like they will strike the valves at the same spot. The...

Hmmm , anyone know if the arms can be interchanged between early 3b, late 3b and 3bii?

Rebuilding my 3b and have collected pretty much all the parts needed except for rocker arms. Mine have deep divots which I assume is from lack of oil. Anyway, my 3b has a rotary pump and has the late style rocker arm with the 6mm wide adjuster. I’ve called a dozen machine shops and none of...

Thanks Carlos! Yes great info! I’m looking for a set for rocker arms for a 1986 bj73 with rotary pump which has the small adjusters. Thanks again for the clarification!! Dave
