Thanks, Matt, for the detailed breakdown! You nailed it; it's out of a 78 model year. I did not pull the plate behind the timing cover. I pulled the engine and transmission out of my rig because it was leaking from so many places and had a mud/oil frosting over the bottom of everything. It took...
Hi Matt, thank you for the detailed response! Based on you're staemtns, I think there are some things im missing, i copied your statemtentis in italics and added a comment at the end here:
- did you stake the V-HEAD / giant flat head screw driver machine screws like the FSM states ? No, im...
Hi All, I recognize there are many threads about this, but none that I've found seem to answer enough. I'm in the process of putting my motor back together, and when torquing the timing cover to what the service manual calls out, it pushed the gasket out. As other threads have suggested, I...
I began the process of rebuilding my heater box, and it wasn't until I began putting it back together that I realized I was missing a part. Im missing the L-shaped Linkage that goes on the driver's side bottom front. Ive been advised that there may be different styles of this part. Seeing as...
Hi All,
I began rebuilding my heaterbox, and didnt realize unitll i started putting it back together that im missing a part. Im hoping someone has a suggestion as to where I can source one. I circled the missing part in blue.
Likely, I understand 4-cycle = suck (intake) squeeze (compression) bang (ignition) blow (exhaust). But am having some hardship understanding what is open/closed at different points in the rotation. My intention is to get them close and then readjust when warm.
Hi all. Im putting my motor back together and am at Fig 3-56/57 in the Service manual at the part where it asks you to adjust the valve clearance. It says to set No. 1 cylinder to TDC/Compression. Since I don't have the flywheel on and I haven't installed the distributor yet, I'm unsure about...
Im in the middle of doing this, and at the same point @Kuda picture is in post 3. Like in that picture, my cam/crank marks are lined up and also like in that photo, rockers 7 and 9 have their springs compressed. How do you adjust those? The book says Cylinder #1 should be at TDC/compression...
Hi All,
I'm finally at the point of putting my motor (1978 2F) back together after having cleaned everything from years of oil/mud that frosted everything like a cake nobody wanted. It's all repainted and ready to go back together. I have it on a stand and spun it 180 degrees. I put the oil...
@helocat I was looking thorugh the site and it looks like there are baskets for a 40 series swing out bumper, but I couldn't find the swing out bumper. Do you guys still make a swing out bumper for a 40 series land cruiser? If so could you point me to it on the website.
Awesome this is exactly what I was hoping you would say. I just ordered that same dual voltage gun and accessory kit and im going to be ordering powders here shortly. Good to know the Vegas gold works so well, and great now to have a back to order too. Im brand new to this process and will be...
@Vae Victus Looks nice to me, is it too shiny or does it sorta match the glaze on seat brackets? Does the color seem to match well, glossyness aside?
What sorta setup are you using, looks like you may be at home doing this?
