Good call, I'll have to put a bit more elbow grease into it, or take it to the machine shop.
As for the bearing I read some forum posts and they said the Koyo 62012RS or the NSK 6201DU worked, I ordered the former.
More info here: Seized distributor bearing left me stranded =( -...
Post-Op - everything seems great, hole size is identical, and she threads in great to the carb.
I'll have to wait until I get my engine back together to see how it actually runs, but that may be a bit as I'm now in the midst of a move.
On another note, I was taking my dizzy apart and following...
Good call - I had checked but didn't think 30mm was long enough, luckily it barely is.
Ordered two, I'll see how well drilling the hole out works and update later.
Hey all,
I've been rebuilding my engine, and while the parts were at the machine shop I started work on the carb and dizzy, rebuilding the carb, and following the 'poor-man's recurve' linked here. After I got the dizzy apart, I noticed the shaft bearing didn't spin smoothly, and was audibly...
Alright, I think I'm going to order some of these in M6 x 30mm, which should barely fit the carb, they'll have 3.2mm bores, as compared to the 2.5mm I need, but I'm trying to find some with a 2mm bore that I can carefully ream out with a 2.5mm drill bit.
This'll be a bit of a bodge, but I guess...
Uh oh 😬
I've been looking for similar screws, and have foun a few different places to source vented machine screws, granted they won't be identical, but it'll be better than nothing. One vendor has a nearly identical bolt available, however with a 2mm vent diameter, compared to the OEM 2.5mm...

Ah you caught me! I've certainly learned my lesson about SST's. While I was looking for answers I came across a post recommending a bolt from a Corolla, and while it was nearly identical, it didn't account for the flange spacer, and was too short. I'll probably browse some online carb...
Hey all,
I recently took on the job of rebuilding the carb on my FJ60, and got all the way to the vacuum passage bolt only to realize, it was just a tiny bit stuck, and eventually I managed to strip it to the point that a screw extractor was necessary, which completely mangled the bolt.
Now I'm...
Hey All,
I recently got an FJ60 off of marketplace that was known to have engine knock, and having rebuilt some VW 1600s in the past, I figured I could do a good enough job fixing the knock.
I popped off the oil pan last night, and lo and behold the rod bearing on cylinder #3 had turned into...
