    First Valve Adjustment

    I just use a 22mm on the alternator pulling while pushing down slightly on the fan belt as I turn. I can see the distributor at the same time.

    An unfortunate sequence of events.

    Regarding your valve noise. Check the valve actuating end of the rocker arms for wear. I have seen many with groves in the pads from wearing on the valve stem. If there is wear your lash measurement will not give you the actual lash clearance.

    Camshaft damaged. How bad?

    Spark plugs: light fouling with white ash - what is the cause?

    That type of spark plug cleaner was all the rage about 20 years ago. The problem with them is that they tend to round off the sharp edges on the electrodes that the plug designers work so hard to design. Arcs like to jump from sharp edges. That's why the iridium plugs have a serrated tip and a...

    FJ40 4sp gearbox rebuild

    #1 More than just pitting in that race. IMHO replace it or you will have chatter. #2 May be OK, not ideal but OK. The pitting is not on a bearing surface. #3 Replace the shifting fork. These forks are heat treated on the wear surface (scored surface) and that has been compromised.

    Cam wear question

    If the valve lash was loose when you adjusted them then your cam/lifter interface is wearing. This is a problem that can result from the low zinc and phosphorus content in most current engine oils. I had this symptom about 10 years back. The valve lash started changing (always loose) and the...

    The pipe thread taps I have in the US have "NPT" on them identifying them as 'National Pipe Thread' and they are noticeably tapered. Not sure about other countries.

    When is the top deck 'clean enough'

    Sanding? With actual sand paper? I would be worried about getting garnet grit into the cylinders and oil holes.

    HOW TO DRAIN A 1978 40 RADIATOR

    If there is fluid in the system, then I would say yes. Poke a small screw driver in hole and see if it starts draining.

    The most pristine FJ40 I've ever seen

    The Toyota emblem on the driver side rear appears to be misplaced and doesn't fit the curve of the quarter panel.

    Oil leak from bolt. Info/Input appreciated

    Those two bolts hold an alignment block for the distributor and the oil pump which was line bored at the factory. I would not recommend removing both at the same time.
