    Anyone found an alternate front crank seal?

    Yeah my wife loves this thing, this is the longest shes been without it. I made her buy a new 4runner a couple years ago when it hit 200K, the 4runner sits in the driveway most days. My 11 yr old son is a Yota guy too, I built him a crawler out of an 85 mini when he was 6, he wheels by $60K...

    Anyone found an alternate front crank seal?

    I pulled the HB and the rubber looks ok. The seal groove isn’t as bad as what I was expecting, I can just barely catch my fingernail in it

    Anyone found an alternate front crank seal?

    Is this the bypass where the 3 orings go? Do I remove the thermostat housing and the vertical pipe to the head?

    This is how to remove the oil pump cover screws

    I watched a bunch of videos and read a couple threads but they all seemed risky to me. This is what I used. 3/8” battery impact and a P-3 bit. It took longer to clean the head of the screws than to remove them and no damage to the screws. They should go back the same way. Clean the heads real...

    Anyone found an alternate front crank seal?

    I tried a speedy one time and didn’t like the way it looked so I tore it off right after I put it on. Hopefully I’m over thinking it and the groove won’t be bad. My wife has been driving it for about 15 years and other than general maintenance I’ve never tinkered with it. Every 22re or 2F I’ve...

    Anyone found an alternate front crank seal?

    Yeah, I was trying to avoid that, I haven’t pulled it yet to see how bad the grove is

    Anyone found an alternate front crank seal?

    It is not the factory seal I’m worried about, I want to use a factory I seal, I was just wondering if anyone had found another Toyota seal with the same ID and OD but different thicknesses so the seal lip would ride on a different spot. Seals always leave a grove causing the new seal not to last...

    Anyone found an alternate front crank seal?

    Has anyone found a different toyota front crank seal for the 1FZ engine? I'm getting ready to try and fix all the leaks on the front of the engine. On the 22re there was a different crank seal between the truck/4runner and celica. the celica seal is shorter so the seal lip rides on a...

    Birfield balls different colors?

    You might be right. The silver balls come right out of the cage, the gold balls have to be persuaded out.

    Birfield balls different colors?

    In the process of rebuilding the front birfields on my wife’s 80. The balls on one side are silver the other side has a gold tint. Similar to the difference in the balls in some steering gears. We’ve had the truck since about 30k and there is no evidence of anyone ever being in the knuckles...

    2000 Tacoma rear Elocking diff, swap into front axle of my 80

    I don't know why anyone wouldn't if they got a good deal on a factory elocker. Running one in the front is no different than any other 8" in the front, Toyotas been doing it since the beginning of time. The 80 series is the 1st hp, reverse cut that im aware of. Usually when a diff blows its...

    Oil Burn Between Oil Changes

    My wife's burns a couple quarts between changes, 180K. It doesn't leak a considerable amount. Is the general consensus that this is normal or is this a problem?

    no heat but motor over-heating

    Something was blocking the flow, right? If the water in the head is too hot, assuming the sending unit is in the head. but the water in the heater corer is still cold. where is the sending unit on an 80?

    no heat but motor over-heating

    the wiffy called this morning about 3 miles from the house, her heater wasn't working, and the needle was in the red. I told her to cut the motor, set a few minutes to let it cool down. She waited about 10 minutes and fired it back up, the needle was back in the middle and the heat worked...

    what backspacing for a 97?

    I assume that is b/c it has lugs like my tacoma? Make you a deal, you find a pristine maroon 80 and she'll trade you her antique sage, collectors, pristine 56K. She really wanted maroon
