Been holding onto thisafter I changed directions in my project thinking I'd get to use it. I don't seeing myself use it anytime soon haha.
6boost vband manifold for 1fzfe. This one is setup to fit in a fzj80 . There is no wastegate v band because I didn't know which one I wanted. I am asking...
So, I am replacing the head gasket on a 1fz-fe, and essentially, what happened was I manually turned the crankshaft to clean some of the carbon build-up off the pistons without lifting the camshaft sprocket so the timing chain was loose. The chain moved with the crankshaft as the bright link is...
Hey Y'all -
First time posting here.
I am at best an amateur mechanic. Currently mostly-rebuilding a gm 2.8 V6 in an 89 Isuzu Trooper. Wife and I decided to pick up a bigger rig that we can keep as our family grows so we pulled the trigger on this 1997 LX 450. She has 180k miles has a...
So my 1 FZ FE isn’t doing so great. My transmission wasn’t shifting into 2nd or 3rd so I had to drive in 1st to get home. I kept the engine just below 5k rpm (red line) and eventually got home but at some point it started making a ticking sound and the oil pressure gauge dropped to about 1/4...
Hello all:
I’m lucky enough to be working on a cool project at the shop where we will be rehabilitating a OBD 1 1FZ-FE engine harness. As such, it seems there is some information useful to the community as I go through this process that might be worth passing along and sharing.
We’ll be...
So I searched and could not find this information. This is for a 1fz fe, I had a crank that had some rust on the inside threads and the M22 bolt would not thread in more than a couple turns before binding up. So I grabbed a tap and cleaned them out. For future mud members the bolt is a M22x1.5...
Hey guys was just thinking maybe it’s time I start a thread for 1fz-fe I have been rebuilding and selling them for a while now and figured I should start documenting it in a thread. I usually buy motors from trucks with a blown head gasket, but sometimes buy whole trucks and rebuild them and...
So this issue popped up when water entered the driver side dash and caused loads of electrical issues, most of them have been solved but the thing that’s driving me nuts is the car won’t start on main tank “sometimes”.
Meaning, if I crank the engine, it starts, and the tachometer goes above 1K...
I’m in the process of changing my oil pan, and I faintly noticed tiny metal shavings in the pan that did not appear in the oil change. You can also see sludge and a little bit of coolant residue that was from a bad oil cooler gasket which I replaced already. My issue is not knowing what to do. I...
Hello folks,

Hey all,
I'm looking replace the rear freeze/ expansion plug in the bell housing because there is a leak coming out of the bottom where the bell housing drain hole is. Does anybody know the diameter of this one? or where I can get a set of all the plugs? I searched online and can only find...
Gday you brilliant minds, just out here with another issue with the Ol 97’ FZJ80.
Found out the other week while on a track that my CDL won’t engage when put in low (I don’t have CDL button) I’ve replaced the switch on the front of the transfer case as I found this damaged and tested it, the...
Getting my 80 restored and have a brand new short block going in. I am looking to sell the original short block that came out of the truck.
Block, pistons, rods, bearings ect. No oil pans or pickups. 260k+ miles. Came out due to head gasket failure. Rings might be worn some, but no other...

Hi,
My LC is a 1995 RHD VX Model 4.5 Petrol.
I have been struggling working out why my land cruiser does not have any heat, not even luke warm. The car came into my ownership January 2018 and since has had no heat at all, its as if cold AC is set to on all the time.
The front water valve...
