    2f engine, pistons and head.

    Rough week moving my 30k ft factory to a new 150k ft facility, so not as much progress as I had hoped on the 40. Rapter lined under the tub so I can' get it back on the frame next week.

    First off. @cruiseroutfit is awesome. Picked up the slave cylinder, tie rod ends and carb rebuild kit last week. We focused on the body work this weekend but installed the tie rods on as well. Maybe priming and painting this week. Maybe.

    2f engine, pistons and head.

    The engine is back on the frame. The herculiner in slowly coming out of the tub. I'm looking to the next steps and know I need to replace my clutch slave cylinder. I'm running a 1f bell housing, Chevy clutch disk and I think a 2f fly wheel with an sm420. Something in the back of my mind had me...

    2f engine, pistons and head.

    Anyone have any thoughts on the thin vs thick c-clip above? Seems like if I use the stock thin one, the gear will move and cause front to back slop in the timing gear. I have a new thin one from Spector but have an OEM one I need to pick up from Carl Malone Toyota. I don't know if that one is...

    2f engine, pistons and head.

    So I pulled the cam out of my other 2f so I could use the cam thrust plate on the new 2f. The donor motor was the one I rebuilt 25 years ago that the machine shop messed up. That cam was an aftermarket cam with oil holes in both the second and third bearings. The plate had about .025" of space...

    On a brighter note. Found a few photos of the cruiser from back in the mid 1990's when I used to be cooler and drive the old girl.

    Pictures are good. Sometimes reality is bad. I was inspecting the cam shaft tonight and both tabs on the cam shaft thrust plate were cracked. They broke off easily. I've got a second 2f motor so it looks like I'll be robbing Peter to pay Paul.

    Seems like I've confirmed that everything on the bearings are good. Last night the rings were installed on the pistons and the crank was installed in the block

    2f engine, pistons and head.

    New question. After verifying that my crank bearings and rod bearings are all ready to install, I was spraying carb cleaner through each oil hole in the block. I came across something that can't be right in my mind. The #2 cam bearing has two holes in it. One that goes between the crank and cam...

    Alright. Slow progress. The head is fully rebuilt. Thanks to @cruiseroutfit for parts. The clylinders measure out in the middle of the spec for being overboard.020. New rings measure in the middle of the road as well. I plastigaged the main bearings and rod bearing. The rods look good but...

    Interesting. You will have to explain to my simple mind how that seal works. I'll come see you. I'm calling the machine shop today.

    2f engine, pistons and head.

    I took apart the head that came on the donor motor. It has oem valves that look pretty good. It's been 25 yrs since I rebuilt a 2f. I'm assuming the brass valve guides are replacements? It also had some of the strangest valve seals I've seen. They didn't seal against the valve guide, just kind...

    Yep. I need to come up and see you and your guys. I was going to call you between meeting today but it got nuts. You would have thought skipping Baja would have gotten me ahead but I'm still behind.

    We've stripped the head to get it ready to take to the machine ship. This looks to be a 1986 head. I can get a head gasket kit with all the seals from Kurt at Cruiseroutfitters. I probably should pull the oil pan and all the gaskets on the motor and check things out. In that case, Kurt sells an...

    2f engine, pistons and head.

    I was unable to find .020 or a new set of .030 domed pistons and the project stalled. I did just pick up a 61040 head. Does anyone know if I can use the rocker arm assembly off of a 75 or 76 2f head on a 61040?

    2f engine, pistons and head.

    I've googled for the last hour unsuccesfully. Does anyone know the OEM thickness of a 1975 or 1976 head? If I remember right my original 1976 head was milled .100" when I did it 25 yrs ago. I just have no number to verify it against. Any thoughts?

    2f engine, pistons and head.

    @island45 Good question. The key for me is in the picture I posted above. You can see how the whole area around the valves is indented into the head. That's the 61030 head. A kidney shaped indent looks to be a 61040. My engine should have had domed top pistons and use a 61030 head but a...

    Sorry guys, It's been so long I had my notifications set wrong so I didn't see any responses coming through. I was talking to Kurt Williams as we were working on Monica, Canguro Baja race truck. He recomended finding a late model, closed chamber head. Now the hunt begins. I have two heads...

    2f engine, pistons and head.

    It's been years since I was active in cruiserdom other than oit crewing with Canguro Racing but after my 1976 fj40 had been parked for 19 years I'm finally making progress in getting her back on the road. What I thought was simply a "rings didn't seat" issue on my motor with 2k miles on it...
