camping, atv and dirt bike riding. Had to pull the trailer on a 6% grade at 7,200feet altitude..with the mighty 3FE. Everything went well, slow and steady.

Yes!, I was able to solve it, I adjusted the valves while running, it´s a little tricky with the rocker arms moving up and down but it can be done and you just need to listen carefully. Sometimes I will hear the knocking sound when the engine is cold, but once it warms up it goes away.

Thanks!!

Took the FJ80 (3FE power ;)) to 12,200 feet to get a better view of the Milky Way.

Camping!

Hope this helps: I was driving my 1992 FJ80 on the highway one time and it suddenly started sputtering, shaking and running horribly. It turns out that the PO had done some work on the fuel injectors and forgot to appropriately insulate and isolate the wires, eventually, the heat from the air...

putting it out there to see if someone knows what could have happened and how to prevent it. What I know: Owner parked, turned off truck and went inside his house. Few minutes later, gets call from family member saying his truck is on fire. He could not open the hood because cable got damaged...

Did coolant flush, changed radiator hoses and some heater hoses, installed "engine guardian" (overheating alarm) and installed OME stock springs with OEM tokicos. Busy weekend, trying to get her ready for a trip next weekend.

I recently bought #13 and #14, they are way more expensive if you search for them in the diagrams(I think it includes the tubes), I found the individual part numbers here on MUD: #13: 87245-90k53 #14: 87245-90k36 I have used OEM Toyota & Scion Parts Online | Lakeland Toyota Parts Overstock...

search "driveline clunk", pretty common in 91's and 92's. Don't know about the vibration though.

getting her acquainted with "la huasteca"

@sea bass @SUMMIT CRUISERS thank you for your recommendations!, I will work on the valves again following your tips.

Hello all, I am aware the 3FE is a noisy engine, however, there is a clack/knock sound that has been getting more noticeable lately. I suspect the sound is valve related. Perhaps someone can help me identify what is causing it to see what I need to work on. Some information: -1992 FJ80 3FE...

Hi e9999, i used this borescope: Amazon.com: CrazyFire 2.0MP HD 720P Coms 6 LEDs USB Snake Inspection Camera Pipe Locator with 5m Cable: Computers & Accessories It's not really 720P like the title says, but for $19.99, I think is a good deal. Also used it on valves:

Hi bugsnbikes, i don't think it's the HG, I recently did a combustion leak test and turned out to be fine, but it does look like coolant was coming into the cylinder at some point.
