Thanks Jim I think I’ve got a lead on an input shaft and countershaft at reasonable prices. I rang a Toyota dealer in Sydney that was happy to help but the input shaft was not listed anymore. Having the part number helped with Toyota over the phone and has helped with searching other places...

It’s a 7/79 Fj45. Running the original 2f and H41. I have a H42 Out of a hj47 10/84 and I pulled the top cover off to inspect the input shaft to see if it was usable and I saw that the H42 has more teeth on first gear.

I haven’t seen a bj45 in person in Australia but do recall seeing one advertised on gumtree in Tasmania. the spline for the input shaft Isn’t my problem it’s the tooth count on the input shaft(1st gear). H42 26 teeth on first gear versus H41 22. the H42 26 teeth on first gear isn’t compatible...

My local Toyota dealer is more interested in telling me to find something worth my time. They are not impressed when I go in there. I rang a few dealers and they said Input shaft nla. Countershaft is available though. they can’t tell me if the H55F input shaft is compatible. They told me from...

Hi MUD community. After recently doing a H55 conversion on the HJ47 with a fresh gearbox and transfer case i realised that the gearbox and transfer case in my FJ45 was a bit noisier than it should be. With the recent success with the H55 conversion i tore the H41 out of the 45 with enthusiasm...

Rainy day here today so I had a look at the idle solenoid and changed out the o-ring. Looked pretty good so I kept the old one. I got curious and decided to have a look in my distributor at the mechanical advance. Looked simple enough in the exploded view I found on here. I was just goin in to...

Plugs are ngk BPR5E. Wasn’t much of a selection at the parts store. He looked in the book quickly and gave me them

Just having a look in my carb rebuild kit at left over parts and I have 3 small o-rings. I’ll have a look at the solenoid after the weekend I think in case I don’t have the right o-ring and like you say I could make it worse worse when I remove it if it’s still on there. I’m watching my spark...

Yes it has a single wire solenoid. I have unplugged it and it stalls the motor very quickly. I don’t recall looking for an o-ring on the solenoid when I had it removed during my carb rebuild I just assumed it was functioning well and didn’t pay too much attention to it. I’ll be having a look at...

Thanks for the replies and advice to have a look deeper into it than the carb and ignition systems. I quite possibly would have done a bit more damage and would have had machining and removal of the engine to deal with not to mention the extra cost involved. The only thing I haven’t been...

Ended up doing an inframe rebuild of sorts. Cleaned the head in a bit of a hot bath and cleaned and cleaned and cleaned the block out so I could have a friend look over everything to make sure I hadn’t missed anything obvious before he had a measure of things before I ordered any parts. Was...

Found something interesting on the oil rings in the FSM. From what I’m reading the oil rings may have been installed incorrectly. None of mine are anywhere near close to lining up. The two rings outside of the expander coil are offset between 90 to 180 degrees.

Pin and piston look like they were close to grabbing a lot tighter

Yes they all look like that. That one I’d actually moved around with my fingers for a while, the rest are quite firm in their grooves. I could slide number 2 back into the cylinder with ease without the compression rings on. That pic is of number 6 with the scuffing on the skirt. I’m a bit...
