This is beautiful! Great work!

Sent you a PM. Thanks!

I'd love one of these if you have any left!

I also have the main journals. Forgot to mention that.

Hi! Been busy under the hood and just had a chance to log back in. That's the one! I actually just need the outer cylinder if you're willing to part with it. Thanks!

I'm looking for an original 2F fj60 A/C Idler Pulley. Mine ended up having a hairline fracture that I turned into a complete crack when I was attempting to insert a new bearing into it. I went to Specter and they didn't have any decent used ones, so I thought I'd reach out here. I don't need...

Earlier this year Mark was working on my carb, so in the meantime I thought I would fix my front main seal leak. Once I removed the timing gear cover, I noticed that the front pulley had gouged out keyway. So I ended up pulling the engine to replace the crank. Once I opened up the engine, I...

Thanks! I ended up grabbing a new pulley from Mark (as mine has a hairline crack in the key well) & I think the local shop can help out the end of the crank. I'm going to take it all apart next week and see what other issues I run into!

That's great! Thanks for the heads up. I pulled the pully/HB yesterday and I think my crankshaft is toast as the key was squished crossways. So now I'm going to open her up and rebuild the whole thing I think. Appreciate the heads up. Where in Dallas are you? My wife was born and raised...

Wow, @dogfishlake what wheels are tires are you running on the red 60? That's pretty!

I'm just south of this shop on the other side of Ventura. Thanks for the recommendation @Spike Strip !!

Appreciate the advice! I have the assembly fairly straight. It's about .013 max on the exhaust and book says limit is .020. Still think I might want to get it machined to just to make sure. Anyone know of a good machine shop in Los Angeles? Valley preferred if possible?

oh that's good to hear! The heat shield was in 2 pieces, but in fairly decent shape...

Hello All! I've been lurking for awhile now after purchasing my first 60 in March of 2023. After replacing all vacuum lines, power steering pump, rebuilding the carb, new fuel pump, fixing the timing, rebuilding the front knuckles, new rear brakes, new J tube & gasket, etc I am now getting to...
