    2F Rod bolt broke

    I have plenty of stock bolts from other motors. It just stresses me out that this one broke in the motor I’m rebuilding. Seems very odd to me, has me nervous about the others. I’ll probably use the arp for piece of mind

    2F Rod bolt broke

    thanks, i've read that before. I couldn't find any other posts on others using the supra bolts maybe i'm just stupid when it comes to searching. has anyone had any problems with them. doesn't seem like much work to get them to work. and $80 for a set of ARP is way better than $240 stock from SOR

    H55F Into '83 FJ60?

    I have an 84 and an h55 that’s been sitting under the bench in a box for about 10 yrs. there are a couple differences between early/late fj60 if I can remember correctly. The h55 is longer but the later had a spacer between the tranny/transfer to make up the difference. That’s why it’s a direct...

    Knuckle centering question

    do The shims compensate for casting variations in the knuckle or ball or both? I was given a bare mini housing with no knuckles. I have several 60 series axles with knuckles. When I have rebuilt knuckles I have always used the original shims in the same location and never had an issue with...

    Opinions on replacing carrier bearings

    I'm swapping two 8" elockers into my crawler. I have rebuilt several toyota diffs in the past on street trucks and always replaced all the bearings even though the carrier bearings looked good. Since the crawler sees very few miles and has dual cases so its slow, i was thinking if the carrier...

    Temp gauge

    If you want to spend the coin for high quality stuff the quages above would be good if you can read Celcius and I dig the retro look. I've never had any problems with the chinese crap. If you get an oil pressure guage don't use the plastic line, get a braided line. Make sure whatever guages...

    Temp gauge

    Which ever one you like. They all made by the same little Chinese dude. You can get the Bosch sets cheap at autozone/advance. Good time to do oil pressure too.
