Into the transfer case I meant

I appreciate your help. Curious that fluid on fj60 like mine usually go from t case to tranny. I put the plug in according to instructions. Must be messed up somewhere but it passes about a cup of fluid Into tranny every few thousand miles. I’ll just watch it for awhile. Thank you

After extensive engine work on my 85 FJ 60. Fuel injection milled head and polished ports knife edge crank, etc. Installed new T55 five speed and rebuild T case. Later I noticed A leak started from speedo hole. I found TCase over full, fluid leaking from the tranny into it. I know I put some...

Now that I put a couple thousand miles on the new engine/tranny, the transfer case gasket started leaking. I checked the thru bolts and sure enough they were loose. There are 7 bolts and you can only access 3 or 4 from outside. So, gotta pull the tranny and reseal it. then I can tighten the...

Thank you to all who helped out with your great advice. I ended up sending the LC back to the machine shop. They had indeed put the head gasket in upside down. They replaced the head gasket on warranty so no problem there. Installing the fuel injection from Performance Fuel Injection Systems...

Looking at fig. 3-50 above and in the Toyota 2F engine repair manual, it looks like the oil galley is off to the side, over the valve lifters. If so, the oil passage takes a jog over to the center to arrive in the middle of the head and the proceed up to the rocker arm shaft? If so, probably...

Ok, I hooked up a mechanical oil pressure gauge and oil pressure held steady at 60 psi at idle. It went up to about 70 when revved. So weak oil pump is not the problem. I will try the wire trick to see if there is blockage by the head gasket. A friend suggested I might be able to drill through...

Yes, there is no oil dripping. There is no oil period that I can detect. This is good info. The rocker being assembled wrong would be a good easy fix, but I doubt that's it since they were all left on the shafts and I assume were just stuck back on the way they came out. That aftermarket head...

A great ending for the souped up engine build and the new H55T 5 speed install? Easy now pard, not so fast. After 350 miles of happy cruising with the valve lash that the engine rebuilder set, it was pretty noisy up in the ole tappet pan. Got set to adjust the valves but found almost no oil...

Tom, pulled the tranny today, didn't really know that the transfer does not just unbolt, you have to disassemble it anyway to get it off one piece at a time. Got all the bearings replaced except one which I will need a puller or a press for. Plan to do that tomorrow. We'll be here in Montana...

George at Valley Cruisers said link to FSM to download? Im pretty backwards about this stuff. Any help appreciated.

Sounds good. I got the Tom, got the trans, transfer case kit, shims, trans jack all ready to go. Possible start first week of Jan. I will work on getting that FSM downloaded. Merry Christmas

Georg Let's do that. Sounds like fun. I will try to get into this before yearend. look forward to meeting you

Ok, done deal. I'll call in the AM

Does that kit include the shims? I see it has the nosecone boot. The terrain tamer kit seems to have more parts that Specter's. I think I will buy the terrrain tamer. I'm near Tucson. Who should I get the kit from? Saludos
