Guys, can't find my FSM and am trying to button up the head on my sons FJ80. I have the 2 larger bolts left to install on the rocker arm assembly and I can't seem to find the correct location for them. The 2 bolts are different and I need to know which goes where. Please advise. One has the...
As someone going through the same situation I would recommend having the head magnfluxed first. It may have cracks or previous repairs that make the head a boat anchor like the one on my son's project truck. Currently having a head I sourced here locally being rebuilt with SBC valves.
@CarolinaCrusier I am in need of a head for a 3FE. I am trying to get my son's first project on the road. Let me know what you plan to do with the 3FE.
Rocker arm assembly removed. The studs and bolts show signs of the rocker arm shaft being assembled incorrectly. Going to local machine shop with head in the morning.
I am disassembling the rocker arms and noticed the shaft was not positioned correctly. The slots should be placed where the bolts will slide in and out easily. Will remove the entire assembly tonight to assess any damage.
I am going to pull the head to see how the cylinders look at this point. I have removed everything from the head including head bolts. Just need to pull it up with a cherry picker or chain hoist. I hope that is all I need besides a quick service on the head. Fingers crossed!
Picked up a 80 series with the 3FE for my son. It had some engine issues when I bought it. It seemed like it may be a head gasket but when I pulled the cover off the top I noticed the #4 push rod was bent. Any of you gurus have any pointers on this? My current plan is to remove the head...
Just picked up a 1991 FJ80 for my son. Were do you all order the FSM? Not sure whether to head to Toyota or not. Please advise. I have an 1966 FST FJ40 as my toy. Figured we would get something with A/C for him.
