Got a ground strap on and changed out the studs in lieu of bolts for a cleaner look.

Certainly will do.

I would certainly be happy to report back on the effects, but I just got the vehicle, so I don't really have anything to base it against. Also, it might be a while before I can test it out. I'm not going to be driving the vehicle until I get my leaky injector pump fixed.

Made up some plates and did an EGR delete this afternoon. All that's left to do is add a ground strap and do a little clean up. Although you can't see them in the last pic, I did connect the hoses on the vacuum switching valves.

Yeah, the dollar is doing very well against the Japanese Yen right now.

With so much conflicting info, and so many varying opinions, it's hard to know what to do. All of your info sounds reasonable, and I do appreciate it. I will certainly keep it in mind when buying oil.

I don't know. We all know the FSM isn't 100% correct all of the time, but without proof to the contrary, I'll go with it.

Installed my obligatory tri-color badge.

The HDJ80 FSM specifically states to never use 5 weight oil in turbo-charged engines above 32 degrees F.

Bump

I also don't see a gasket/o-ring kit for the injector pump. There are so many parts listed on Amayama for the injector pump, that I don't even know where to begin. I've see a few videos where people had bought kits, but I don't know where from.

Thanks for the info. I most definitely plan on replacing the tensioner.

So I'm about to remove the Injector Pump on my '96 HDJ80 for a rebuild, and while I'm in there, I plan on also doing the Timing Belt, Water Pump, and Valve Cover Gasket. I want to use OEM parts, or whatever might be better. Any suggestions on where to get the injector pump rebuild kit and...

I hope you drained the oil first. 😂

I agree 100%, especially with the "could it be" part. My wife hates that voice saying that. 😂 Good luck with the move!
