I will be looking into this. Any recommendations on injectors shops online?

Next I replaced all of the power steering hoses and resealed the vane-pump with the toyota reseal kit. The kit did not come with a bearing, but the one in there seemed to be in really good shape so I didn't bother replacing it. Next I got the rest of the accessories bolted up and started...

Conclusion Okay, I have pretty much finished this project and It's about time I finish this thread up. I left y'all at reassembly last so I'll try to start off there. I started cleaning the head with a scotch brite pad and then decided that i didn't like the way those start to deteriorate and...

I have some 18 on hand. Look like it’s just those 3 to 4 wires damaged so I’ll think I’ll splice and call it good

Do y'all know what gauge wire is used there?

I feel like I have to apologize for how long this is taking. I’m posting as I go and I do not have much free time to work on my 80. I am about to start reassembly, now that I have all of the parts and a freshly machined head. What’s currently holding me back is this wiring harness. Is it a...

I got quoted $750 to $1000 plus parts today. By the eye my valves look alright and bucket clearances were in spec. Not sure if that one warped or if I’ll need new seats. Either way I would expect that price to go up. I may drop in a couple more machine shops this week because those guys had a 3...

On the power steering note, I do have a leak in that area. I think it may be from the reservoir, that’s a common problem right?

Will be replacing the heater line and ps line for sure. I am doing this in frame because I don’t want to buy a hoist and stand, lol. It hasn’t been that bad, to get the pan out I just put a bottle jack on the diff and lifted that right side motor mount a bit, then the pan slid right out the...

Removed oil pans and front cover today. Will be rounding up parts and a machine shop this week

I filled the cylinder head with water and blew some air with a canned air duster in each one. The exact valve we were suspicious of is the one that leaked, cylinder 5 forward intake valve.

Well it has been quite a while since the 80 went down. I am finally able to give the vehicle some attention now. The past two days I’ve been pulling it apart and investigating. Last night I confirmed a bad intake valve seat in cylinder 5. I am also going to service the timing chain, and all of...

Who are the typical sources for valves? Also, given I have a burnt valve, is it acceptable to just replace the valve that failed? Or best to replace all 24?

Anyone know if a puller is normally required to remove the crank pulley? Service manual shows the use of a SST puller with the language “If necessary”

Yes, I’ve done some reading on that. Figured I will go ahead and replace the chain tensioner slipper, vibration damper, and chain its self. Also all of the gaskets and seals
