dnp can you dm me some info on a carpet set please. ‘86 FJ60 in grey. Thanks.

So I talked to cruiser teq and he took my vin number. He couldn’t look up the actual individual part numbers that make up the kit I bought from them but He said the kit I have won’t work for my truck. Kit said 81-86 and mine is an 86 but something about the vin he told him it was the wrong...

Ok… next question. 😂 I think I have the wrong head gasket. I ordered a felpro set (hs 21219 B-1) which I still have and then I ordered a OEM engine overhaul set (eggk61044OEM) from cruiser teq. They are identical. But they don’t match my head or my block exactly. The biggest visible issue...

I was trying to hold on to the old copper radiator but better thinking got to me today. It had several repairs and I had laid the ps pump against it and it had mashed some fins. So I pulled the trigger. I’ve got an Aisin water pump ready to go but the fan clutch seemed good when I took it...

No, I got one from cruiser corps.

Found the alignment dowel pins at the Toyota dealer with the help of part number Godwin gave me. So I ordered them and decided to go ahead and order a new radiator. Wanted to do something while waiting today so I pulled the oil pan and cleaned it out. Checked out the crank and cam and oil...

I am in Guntersville. That’s definitely close enough to check out. Is yours a 60 as well?

I got my gasket set and I got my head back today. It ended up being a pretty comprehensive rebuild which I am glad. All New valves and new valve springs and New freeze plugs. I’m just making sure I have everything ready to get back to work and I realized there is only one alignment dowel pin...

I wasn’t doubting you. Only the contents of my tap set. Thanks you’ve been very helpful. -Michael

That’s great. I’ll just delete it and tap the hole and plug it off. I was guessing that they could be reused since they were not readily available. I have 2 that are pretty rusty and the pushrods are also rusty. I think I’ll first try to clean them up and see how they turn out. I have a...

Had a few minutes today and just wanted to get some surfaces ready while I’m waiting on the head and my gasket set. I decided to go ahead and separate my intake and exhaust manifolds. It appears my exhaust manifold diverter butterfly has come apart. Any insight on this? Can it be repaired...

Is there any additive that would counter act this fact. Like if I added marvel mystery oil to every tank? This won’t be a daily driver but probably a weekly driver and won’t put many miles on the rig.

Looks like cruiser teq has a OEM Toyota engine overhaul gasket kit. I’ll feel a lot better about that. I’m going to get that coming. Thanks!

Thank you for the info. This is exactly the reason I decided to post this project on here. I’ll check all this out tonight. 👍🏻

I am having them check if for leaks. They got back to me about finding a couple leaky valves but I assume they will pressure test the finished product as well?? It’s not a cruiser specific machine shop but an old and highly regarded machine shop. I tried to order a head and intake manifold...
