Quick question about timing cover bolts on a 79 2F. I searched but couldn’t find them. The manual says I need 2x25mm, 2x12mm, 4x8mm, and 4x16mm. I have 2x25mm, 4x8mm, and 6x12mm. No 16mm. I know the lengths and locations are important. Anyone got part numbers for all these? I’ll just get all...

Well, I think I found the source of my oil leak 😂😂😂. The HB shaft is chewed, there’s a pic of what’s left of the key, and the oil seal is torn. I think the key way on the crank snout is ok enough. I know the PO had a “Land Cruiser shop” in Idaho do a bunch of work in 2018 including pulling the...
So my timing gear cover oil leak is back. I’ve assembled everything I think I need to remove and reseal the cover. I was thinking that the harmonic balancer nut was going to be a PITA to get off, but I was able to spin it free by hand 🥴
Is there supposed to be a locking washer of some kind...
Well, it seems that resealing the bottom two bolts with the Toyota seal packing applied took care of it. I’ve dailied it every day for the last week or so and no leaks. We took a little excursion yesterday. It’s easy to forget how beautiful some things are when they’re practically in your...
I figured I’d throw on some new shocks and steering damper while I’m waiting for the gen-u-wine Toyota seal packing 103 FIPG to cure on my bottom timing cover bolts. Everything I saw online said the OMESD23 fits 40/45/55 series, but it looks about three inches short to me (story of my life)...
Well, I made the 2 hour drive no problem, parked when I got there, and then saw this. s***.
Cleaned off what I could and it looked like the timing gear cover was leaking and blowing back all over. It was still on the dipstick, so I added about a quart and made it home. I stopped every 20...
If you happen to be in the Chicago/Wisconsin/Illinois area, I’m road trippin a couple hours for this tomorrow. Stop by and say hi because I’ll probably be the only pig there.
