    FJ62 Oil Cooler / Coolant hose question

    Regarding degreaser-just spent the winter fixing a long overdue timing plate oil leak and had to do some serious degreasing before getting started. Don’t have access to pressure washer or decent car (very small town in the mountains in Idaho). A friend recommended Purple Power Cleaner...

    1989 3F-E Fuel Damper issues!

    Diesellibrarian-thanks-it was 22mm which I found at AutoZone of all places. CityRacer has an OEM part with the crush washers so it’s on its way. AutoZone did show an aftermarket part which was the same price as CityRacer. Question-while spending time around the rest of the engine I noticed the...

    1989 3F-E Fuel Damper issues!

    Just finished fixing timing cover plate leak, de-smog, PS line replacement and took off A/C stuff. Started the truck, ran great (ta-da!!) and shut it off after a few minutes. No drips-or so I thought. Smelled fuel and heard dripping and investigation found fuel coming out of the fuel pressure...

    ‘89 FJ62 power steering wuestion

    Thanks for the info. Since we are on the subject of preferred fluids and I have to also put oil and coolant back in to the 360k motor, what are your preferred brands and weights? Live in McAll ID at 6000 ft driving mostly back country at >25 mph.

    ‘89 FJ62 power steering wuestion

    Let me see if I understand: First question-ATF for PS-it says it on the cap and it’s Toyota’s way of doing things and it’s how I found the leaking hoses because I thought it was trans cooler lines that were costing the whole front if the truck with red stuff. Second question-are you saying...

    ‘89 FJ62 power steering wuestion

    While desmoging and fixing a timing plate oil leak, I discovered a leaking power steering hose so replaced both hoses to and from pump. I’ve got the truck back together enough to start the engine and check for leaks. My question-do I need to do anything other than fill the PS reservoir (and...

    3F-E timing cover backing plate-do all the bolts come off?

    Yes-cam not so good. It appears that someone before me drilled and tapped three holes in cam gear so it could be pulled without removing the cam itself. Looks like the puller center bolt either walked out of the center or the PO did some drilling on the cam to get a dimple for the puller. Is the...

    3F-E timing cover backing plate-do all the bolts come off?

    Mark Thx for reply. All fasteners removed and plate removed. Question-the paper gasket I purchased doesn’t have the thin green raised lines in it as did the one I removed. In looking at ordering options, I see this is available. Is having this extra bit on the gasket worth getting g a...

    3F-E timing cover backing plate-do all the bolts come off?

    Hey!! Back at my oil leak project. My leak appears to be behind the timing cover backing plate right above where the oil pan joins the block on the drivers side. Hopefully what I’ll find when I remove backing plate is a gap in the gasket. My question to all of those in the know-based on the...

    1989 FJ62 3FE auto-Looong Winter Project

    Update: lots of things got in the way but I’ve made a bit more progress. I have timing cover off, cam gear and crack gear pulled and now want to remove the timing cover backing plate. My leak appears to be behind this backing plate right above where the oil pan joins the block on the drivers...

    Toy_Tek-thanks for the response. I did find a quick sleeve to go on the HB but there’s also a machine shop in town that can fill the groove and turn it down. Are the sleeves a poor option?

    3F-E distributor cap vent lines?

    That's what I'm assuming-attached are pics of the distro cap nipple and the open nipple on the air cleaner housing. Should I just connect these?

    3F-E distributor cap vent lines?

    I'm in the process of what appears to be a timing cover leak on an '89 3F-E. I noticed an open nipple on the distributor cap and also noticed an open nipple on the air cleaner house (one of three-the other two have vacuum hoses running to engine. There are two nipples (ports?) on the distro...

    3FE Harmonic balancer groove

    Thanks for all this-I’m going to order the Dayco HB today. With the A/C comp removed, does the bracket for the A/C comp serve any purpose beyond the compressor? Can I get rid of it?

    3FE Harmonic balancer groove

    Thanks all for the input. Could damage to cover be a result of HB jumping? This brings up something else-I’m de-smogging the rig (air pump) and removing A/C compressor. Does removing these two belt driven items cause HB to work harder to dampen? Do all the belts provide tension to lessen crank...

    Thanks-that’s what I’m thinking. What typically causes the groove?

    3FE Harmonic balancer groove

    Hey! Working on a timing cover leak and got the harmonic balancer and timing cover off. Serious groove in the HB. Big ding (looks like pliers?) on the lip of the seal well. Searching other threads says the HB can be re-sleeved? I’ve found a new Dayco HB online for $200. Thoughts? Motor has...

    1989 FJ62 3FE auto-Looong Winter Project

    Thanks so much for this! Question about the manuals-getting them to download via Box.com was difficult even after setting up a free account. Any suggestions? I’m going to need a new cold start injector sensor thingy (not sure the name). It’s on the thermostat housing and I believe is the reason...
