    For Sale  1992 FJ80 3FE 126,000 Miles $2,000 - Issues

    Picked the truck up in Houston last year, drove fine, no issues, did the front axle seals and wheel bearings, then started noticing disappearing coolant. Pulled the head, had it fluxed, new gaskets, bells and whistles, decked, and put it all back together, etc... Still having issues. You can...

    Paint my wheels AGAIN? Photoshop'd pics..

    I kinda like the blue, actually. It's different, and would look great in reality, toned down with shadows, brake dust, and the what-not. Otherwise, bronze looks great.

    Yeah, the coolant has been fine. That's been my main source of concern that it wasn't the cooler...

    That's my next plan. Change the oil, bypass the oil cooler and see what happens... A warped block is just too rare. No external leaks... That's probably gonna be my next-next route...

    Well. Fart. Got everything back together, and ran for about a week... Noticed I'm still losing coolant, and look at that...the oil is white, and the level is up again. So, I'm putting this project on hold. I'm gonna attack my '87 XL600R so I can have some wheels for the time being. Not sure...

    Found Water In Oil

    Well... I was very busy working on this the last couple days... While I had everything apart, I sent the injectors out to be cleaned... Before: After: Before, the plastic tips were black, cracked and falling off. I've used Hurst Injector Service for my motorcycles, and have had...

    Thanks man! Had an unpleasant discovery today. On the left was the wilted, bent remnants of a straight hose some yahoo attempted to fit as the bypass hose, and to the right is the correct replacement.

    Well, with the help of Aggiesdm and newbtrayback, I got the head back in place and torqued down. There were no numbers to go along with the sequence, so I just went 15 ft-lbs, 30 ft-lbs, 60 ft-lbs, and then the final 90 ft-lbs.

    Made an EGR block-off plate tonight. Started off with some 1/4" aluminum bar stock... And through the power of television...

    Slee Caster Correction via Trunion Bearing Races

    This makes so much sense... The steering stem on my KTM 690 had two surfaces so you could switch between two different trail offsets. Eager to hear some reviews...

    Found Water In Oil

    Still slow going... And no pics this time, as I was in go-mode trying to beat the sun last night. Removed the push rod cover gasket, and found no signs of water ingress from the freeze plugs, or if they were out of place at all. Everything went pretty smooth, but getting that old cork gasket...

    Anyone know where I can buy a new EGR?

    I have one from my '92. No idea if it works or not, but physically it is fine. PM me if you need it.

    Sweet, thanks. I should probably dial-in the timing again anyway...

    By the way, since I'll be pulling the distributor for the side cover access, what is the best way to pull the distributor on a 3FE? Set engine to TDC, then R&R the distro in the same position?
