    Radiator Painting Options

    Pulled the radiator to plug some holes. Thought it could also use some paint. Can I use regular high temperature paint vs the "specialized" radiator paint? I just need to spray the header / bottom; but also think a little spray on the fins help protect from rust.

    Recovery Points for FJ40?

    I thought tow hooks are not considered "safe" for vehicle recovery. I've got one on the front, will source another.

    Carburetor & Valves Adjustments

    So I found the line; its not very visible, but was half a turn further from the BB. (roughly 7 degrees) I'm sorry, I'm still very confused about the TDC of the other pistons. I've read a number of threads, best was (2F Engine: *Valve Lash: Jim Chenoweth on Valve Adjustment:). This is what...

    Carburetor & Valves Adjustments

    So tried the raise the rear end & manually rotating the tires, while in 4th gear technique. That was a waste of time. So then thought I would try what I saw an old mechanic once do.....turn the engine using the radiator fan. Disconnected the battery & coil; and very slowly managed to turn the...
