Thats what I was thinking, and the machine shop did the valves and new seals.....so I'll toss it And I can reuse the locating Ring ....it cleaned up fine and fits both the block and head Thanks!

Clean threads are always a good way to go.

Also: I always clean the bolt holes out really good prior to reassembly especially the head bolt holes. Ive cleaned lots of gunk out of them by running a tap down em to chase the threads then slurping them out with a shop vac and magnet. If...

Id use air to see weather the holes have an exit. If they hold air pressure, then no sealant required. You can also put air into the oil galley and see of it comes out the holes but from memory oil had its own drilled passage between 2 of the...

Well as an example there are two of these bolts and they don't appear to come with thread sealant: 90910-01006 2 13951ABOLT(FOR ROCKER SUPPORT SET) And there are 4 of these. Maybe that's thread sealant on the bottom threads of the...

rocker stand bolts @WarDamnEagle .

Someone was in der B4 😘🐖💨👈

These are the 17" version of that wheel with the Kenda tires. More information about the wheels here.. starting on page 8 https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/steel-wheel-tech.1137060/page-8

Find a set of the NA OEM 15" rims and run the Kenda Klever RT. 33x9.50-15:

CONS, You will be spinning the front axles full time and your birfields should or would need to be serviced more often. Also spinning the front drive shaft and depending on angles will cause more vibration at highway speeds (you know in mine at...

Here's your pig's younger brother. 1980 with less than 50k kilometers. It is/was in pretty nice condition when I took this photo (January 2022).

Yes, I should qualify I think that holds true for US only. I am not sure what Canada go. I know they were still getting drum brake 45s into the early 80s, so I think that is a totally different market for Toyota.

Only for the NA market or at least they definitely didn't come from the factory with them for General Countries. I wonder what Toyota model had those 16", non retaining ring rims with clips as OEM? @Shyrock do you get any additional...

Interesting that they have separate entries for front vs rear wheels.

No manual hubs is no problem. I never saw them in the middle east. My FZJ75 and my Troopy both have drive flanges. That's the way they came from the factory. My personal opinion is it's a waste of money to change to manual hubs. I'm sure...

If the factory manual didn't say to then don't., my thought. You probably will be pulling the head again anyway when the great new compression you have will cause blow by. :meh:

Have you talked or thought about pulling the pistons and running a glaze buster hone down each cylinder. new rings and I'd even put some new rod bearings in there, too. Not too much more time or money.

You might wanna consider a new trpphe case for when Ornch starts making appearances. :)

Been using it Bobby! Thanks again 😘 Me and the Green Booger are about to have some play time…

Pulled the hood latch pin today, thought I’d just take some pics and make a post since this little PITA has popped up in a few posts in the past. The spring seat doubles as the jam nut, as there is a captured nut that the pin threads into. I took...

Wood too 🤔🧐😉😳😲😮😘

Those Kenda’s are what’s in the photo w the darker wheels above. I mounted the ones we put on the Saltwagon 40 for that photo. I had hoped to just run those on the 55, but those wheels are riveted, and they would not spin due to interference w...

My son found a set of Toyota 16” steel wheels w clips on Facebook marketplace, so I’ve got those to replace the split rims. I mounted the 235/85R16’s and 33/9.5R15’s on the 55 just to get a visual on tire sizes. I like the 33’s better...

So nice!!! And drive flanges vs lockouts - always ready for 4WD. I think all the 40s came from Japan w/ drive flanges, as did the early Pigs. '76-'78 Pigs were reported to come from Japan w/ ASCO lockouts. They are 'long-body" lockouts to...
