Hi, I realize this is a super old post....but what V-belt did you use once you took the smog pump out? Thank you in advance. C.

When you reinstalled the valve cover on your 3FE after replacing the gasket, did you torgue the 4 bolts, or just hand tighten + a quarter turn? Thanks

Do you have any update on this situation? My 91 3FR has been doing the same thing. I think it's my fuel rail as well. Thanks

Did you ever figure this out? My 3FE has been doing the same thing for a few months now.

Fixed! Thanks for all of your help, especially the links to the threads of others who have had this same issue. I followed the advice of "Texican", and used a 5/16 x 24 tap, then inserted an allen head plug. I also used red loctite. The entire job only took about an hour.

I have a 1991 Land Cruiser. I was on my way home from a short drive this afternoon, and just happen to look down at my gauges (I'm pretty vigilant about doing so) and my oil pressure gauge was reading very low. Fortunately I was only a couple hundred yards from my driveway. I pulled in, and...

Thank you for the response. It's a California truck, so there's virtually no rust so I have that going for me. It's still a 35 year old truck, and doubt these bolts have ever been out before. Have you done an exhaust manifold on a 3FE engine before? Do I have to take the intake manifold off...

About 4 months ago my 1991 Land Cruiser developed what appears to be an exhaust leak. It's driving me nuts, so I've decided to dig in to attempt to resolve it. Before I do, I figured I'd ask the forum members their advice and opinions. The leak appears to be coming from near the top of the...

Thank you. I went to a Toyota dealership today. I bought 99332-11180-83 belt, and this Idler pulley. Hopefully it's the correct one. If not, I'll see if I can't get a new bearing for the one that is currently on there. C.

Thank you for the quick response, Jon. The Idler Pulley should turn/spin freely, correct? If it doesn't, should it be replaced? If so, Toyota no longer makes the part, correct? If so, is there a suitable replacement for the Idler Pulley that you know of? Also, is 99332-1180-3 the correct belt...

I had a new A/C compressor installed on my 1991 Land Cruiser, and the mechanic is having an issue trying to figure out the proper routing for the A/C compressor belt. He thinks that the belt is supposed to go through that bracket (as shown in the pic) but I think that the belt is supposed to...

Did you resolve this issue? If so, how did you resolve it? Thanks

Hey Tony, Were you able to find a good Land Cruiser mechanic in the Philadelphia area? Christopher

I just posted pics of the schrader valve caps, as well as the r12 sticker. The system obviously has never been converted to r134a.

I have a 1991 Land Cruiser. Towards the end of last summer, my A/C compressor seized, and threw the belt. Prior to this, the A/C was working very well for the three prior years that I've owned the vehicle. I'd like to get the A/C working again. Is there anything I need to do, other than...
