Well did all that, did some more testing I thought up, everything pointed to it was fine. So I put it together and fired it up last night, break in went smooth and drove it to get food after. So far so good. Seems like I have one or two drips I’m going to have to chase down, but other than that...
Thank you all for your replies. I took a look at the pugs but I am not sure how to test them?
Here are the pictures:
The shop stated that they did the plugs but I don’t know enough about them to know if they did anything incorrectly. I also assume that when I blew out the passages having one...
Primed the system till oil was hitting the top end. Potential for incorrect bearing install, this is my first rebuild, but I lined them up as I was taught and put the ones with holes where they were meant to be. I don’t think it was a lack of assembly lube because the main want getting any oil...
I believe so, all the other rods and mains looked perfect and had good oil, the oil pressure sensor was also giving good readings, although it did not give exact psi.
I finished my 2f rebuild a little while ago and went to do the break in. After about 10 minutes heard a screeching sound and then the engine shut off, we pulled the motor and found the culprit to be a spun rod bearing.

Not in my part of Colorado, those on the front range do from my understanding. I ended up finding the BVSV’s I needed and just decided to go ahead and put it together how that diagram above says. Wish I could figure out why that’s on there though, looking at new thermistor caps for all years...
Hello, I'm currently mid rebuild on a 2F engine and I am having a lot of trouble with BVSV's. All the ones I had were broken and I am trying to find ways to fix them or purchase new ones. The issue is I cannot seem to figure out what the correct part number or temperature range for them is. I...
Been a bit with the first week of real school. Pulled the head and got some vindication. We diagnosed somewhat right.
Back two have no build up. Probably not helpful. Also noticed on the intake that the exhaust was leaking into one of the intakes. Also not great. Now time to find a shop and get...
Hello everyone, I have browsed this forum for a while but this is my first time posting. My Dad bought a 1980 FJ40 in 2018 not running and let it sit for a year. One day he told me that if I could get it running it would be mine to drive. So I called my Grandpa up and we got into it, ended up...
