    Where to get the best 3FE engine

    89 Land Cruiser owned for 24 years and it's got more than a bazillion miles. Spun a bearing and I put it away 7 years ago. It's been taken care of but head and block are full of worn out components. What is my best choice to replace with another 3FE?

    Valve clearance question

    Old motor, many miles, rocker faces are cupped. Has anyone successfully rigged up external vacuum so that valves can be adjusted on a running motor? easy and preferred with other push rod overhead valve tractors, but the computer, sensors and actuators on the 3FE, it obviously doesn't run with...

    3FE is pinging (detonation) at minimal load, low RPM, just started

    A new issue, never had it before. So I've de-carboned, set the timing, changed plugs, which had some carbon, dry gray. What should I look into?

    Armrest? Cupholders? Both

    This is what I've been using in my '62. Driving experience is much improved.

    Cost of ownership; Fuel, and fluids.

    It's not for a school assignment. For tires and hard parts, it's a pretty large number too.

    Injectors look like this. Reman. match set or clean these?

    Had to pull the fuel rail to see if I buggered it when replacing the pulsation damper. What's the best route forward? A matched set sounds best, or am I better of just cleaning these and put new rubbers on them?

    3FE What's inside the fuel rail?

    Had a leaking fuel damper. Replaced it and replaced the fuel pressure regulator. Truck ran fine before this, just leaked fuel from the damper. Now it runs at idle, and is fine up to 1400 rpm or so, but starves for fuel above that.

    It hit a parked car. Insurance wants to total it. Any idea's?

    FJ62 is this a heat shield?

    Fits under the throttle body over the air injection pipe from the smog pump. The air manifold is being eliminated, any harm in leaving this off?

    How many miles are too many to bother fixing

    I still put about 20K a year on it, but the power is fading, leaks are everywhere, and before I do the rear seal again, I'll see what the consensus is.

    Oil leaks, easiest difficult most necessary

    Truck has pretty high miles. Some of the repairs over the years fixed a few, but the fact it leaked never seemed to matter much, passive corrosion protection was fine by me. But these day's I hear about galley plugs and oil cooler O rings, maybe I should care more. And the "I parked here"...

    Put the springs on in 1999. These are medium load with greasable pins. Springs are still arched pretty good, but the bushings have disintegrated. Looking for advice or "gotcha" issues.
