    Were BJ60's ever offered for sale in the US?

    I thought not, but there is one in the Arlington Pull-a-Part with tags that say 'Meets all Federal motor vehicle standards for 1983' and a BJ60 VIN to match. Which looks like US labelling. Oh, and I snagged the transmission. (but it's for a 3b, so not so much gloat) t

    Early flywheel bolt part number?

    What's the part number for the early (1 piece thrust bearing) 2F flywheel bolts? (manual trans, of course) I went searching, but the terms are too common- and finding bolts on ToyoDIY doesn't seem to work. Thank you! t

    2FE water pump and coolant routing

    Ok, I searched until my google fell off, all 17 pages of RocDoc's thread (which is an excellent read, btw) and everything that Pappy wrote. Where I'm getting into trouble is in duplicating EITHER the 2F OR the 3FE's aux coolant routing. This is for a 2FE into a late 60. Things you already...

    Valve stem seal or sombrero?

    These were on the parts engine. I've never seen a valve stem seal that's also the spring seat. Anyone recognize them? t

    3FE valve rotators

    Are they worth it? I've torn down exactly one 2F and 2 3FE heads, but there doesn't seem to be much more valve recession on the 300k 2F than there was on the 3FE with similar miles. I'll probably end up running them because I have a good set of 3FE rockers, but they seem to add quite a...

    The EGR valve- good or evil???

    So a lot of the smog equipment on a 62 is not particularly high quality- especially the air pump system. I'm taking that off, and the cat has mysteriously disappeared as well. But making the assumption that the EGR is functioning properly, and that I like breathing cleaner air more than I...

    Why is the 62's main EFI relay so expensive???

    Jeepers- it's just a relay, and it's almost a hunnert bux??? Even the dorky dual- coil fuel pump relay doesn't cost that much, and it's got 2 coils in it... It doesn't even swith half the EFI loads- the keyswitch does most of that! Just grousin' :D t

    2F oiling system improvements?

    needed? Those passages look tiny to me, coming from the world of BMW racing... There are a lot of tight spots, sharp corners, small primary (pre- main- gallery) passages in there. I know there was at least one thread a while back about beefing it up, but I can't find it now. Are...

    A bunch of 2FE questions- finally, an engine build thread

    Okey- doke, I've been snarking other people's threads long enough: the engine that's in the truck (86 FJ60) is clattering away, and it's time to get started on an upgraded replacement. I've got an earlier 60 2f shortblock, and the top of a 3fe from an 89 (thanks, Elliot) and almost all...

    3FE- FJ62 vs FJ80 differences

    For some reason, I got it into my head that the early 3FE FJ80's electronics were pretty much the same as the 62. I'd searched, I was the internet expert! Y'all can laugh at me now. There's one at the PnP in Arlington- and it's waaayyy different electrically. I was hoping for some...

    For Sale  BMW 2002- yes, the model, not the year (which is 1969)

    Ok, here's a long shot- Its time for someone else to adopt this car. I have too many. But I'd LOVE to have an H55F with split case for my FJ60. So, if you have an extra AND want something VERY different than a Land Cruiser to take to the track, let's trade! Otherwise, mostly due to the...

    2FE oxygen sensor questions...

    Ok, time to get started on this project for serious. But of course, there are things I can't find with my limited search skills... First- does the 3fe computer really need the oxygen sensors? (I'm guessing it does to get out of open loop, but hey, start at the beginning?) Second- can you use...

    This sounds expensive...

    Ok, some background... Here's the patient: here's the engine: I trust this gauge well enough- after a couple of minutes of warming up, it says: ... and the sound:Ouch! (in wav format) a longer version, warming up a bit from stone cold:Duck! (in mp3) ... The...

    Oil pressure sender in galley plug?

    With all the galley plug posts, I had a thought (yeah, I searched, but the terms are too common) what about using the galley plug as an oil pressure sender location? Given its distance from the pump, it would seem to be a good indicator of general engine health... t

    To Mega or not to Mega....

    As I'm stripping the 3FE parts engine- blown head gasket, scuffed mystery die- grindered pistons, more gasket adhesive than I've ever used in my life on ALL the engines I've put together- I'm having this problem: There's a lot of CR*P on a 3FE. Air injection, vacuum valves, 3 electric...

    Rusty balls?

    Ok, I DID search, and didn't find anything... On the short list is to redo the front axle. However, the normally- shiny pivot 'ball' surfaces on the front axle that serve to protect the Birfs are rusty. Not structurally rusty, but bad enough that a new seal kit's going to get chowed in short...

    Wanted  Rear FJ60 stock springs, Seattle

    Heck, I'd even take just one- the main leaf on the right side, well, let's say, the military wrap is a good idea... PM or email's good- RacerY at comcast dot net Thanks! Toby

    leaf spring friction and lube- sliders!

    Hey, a 60's leaf spring's wider than 2 1/4", isn't it? This came up in a different thread about something else, but I just ran across this stuff- Spring Liners with Lip - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop and Flat Spring Liners - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop and...

    Odd oil behavior with the rocker cover off

    First off, cbmongo's right- there's not a lot of oil flying around up there. A lot less than the Chevy 250... where you adjust the valves with the motor running! (https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/509193-hey-runs-but-stuck-valve.html) I'm chasing valve noise, and I'm starting to...

    Hey, it runs! But... stuck valve?

    So I got an '86 in January, and have been dicking around with getting the air pump, PS pump, etc going, along with the other things that you have to do to pay the bills... it hadn't run since 2004, so there were a lot of things that were in need of work. Lots that still are, too... but...
