Been hunting down what maybe causing some oil loss in my 1982 2F engine.
Engine was rebuilt almost 4,500 miles ago.
Engine will loose close too one quart of oil every 500-600 miles.
Compression is were it should be. No seal leaks from around the oil pan or front area of crank shaft. Valve cover...

Finally wrapping up this rebuild project which of course turned into a rabbit hole. Replaced all coolant hoses, new Toyota OEM clamps, etc. Reinstalled radiator this morning, added coolant and fired her up, and I’ve got a steady drip coming down the front driver’s side of the engine. I...
Hey guys,
Installed an EGT gauge on my rig as a precaution for tuning.
Curious if anyone has done this on their fj60, and if they have an approximate reading that works for them. I installed my probe right beneath the header (which I'm sure changed the reading slightly)
Happy New Year!

I am on St Simons Island w/ a '79 FJ that I have owned for 12 years. Engine just turned 100K, but due to oil leakage, I may need to look into engine work. Any references for shops in GA, SE SC or northern FL? Thanks in advance.
Selling a rebuilt pump from an FJ60 2F engine. It had a slight leak at the main shaft. This one is complete with reservoir these are getting hard to come by. $75 buyer pays shipping. Best to email me shmukter@pa.metrocast.net
Hi all,
I'm looking to source a 2F engine for my 84 FJ60, running or non-running. Whole engine preferred, but will be willing to buy just a 2F block (as my block has a hole in the side of it). Let me know if anyone has leads on sellers/partout cars in central TX (near Comanche) or...
I have a 1979 2F engine for sale for $500. The motor can be turned by hand. I got it from "County Cruisers" in Ridgeville, IN as part of a trade for a parts rig I had. He said the history was it came from a lower milage plow truck.
2F, de-smogged, Weber 38 carb, headers, 92,000 or 192,000 miles. I’ve had it for 18 years. I’ve never rebuilt an engine, but rebuilt everything else on here over the years.
Small oil leaks have gotten bigger, valves have slowly gotten more noisy than normal (despite valve adjustments and...
Last we was a tough week. I inadvertently drove my 1980 FJ40 with no oil and seized the motor. It is a long story as to all the little events that lead to me making such a stupid mistake and trust me, I am very frustrated with myself. I will just say NEVER TRUST Jiffylube with anything.
I was...
Hey I am sure this is already on the forums somewhere but - I am starting to buy parts for my eventual sbc swap back to a 1f or 2f engine. I want to keep the 3speed transmission so I can swap it back to column shift. I found a 2f bell housing with the clutch fork for a good price.
My...
I have quite a collection of parts that are not going back in my project. I had grand ideas of restoring them all before I sold them (yeah right...) but I really need to clear the space. I can't ship any of these, so this is really for SoCal folks (I'm in Ventura County) who can stop by and take...
I have two heads: 60051 (1974) and 61031 (1977)
I have read many threads here, but not many really had comparisons between F.5 and F2 heads. Especially with the pictures.
I try my best to summarize some information here. All my measurements are not 100% accurate, but give some idea of the size...
Hey all, I’m currently in the process of installing a rebuilt 2f in my 76’, wondering what the steps are to install the HEI DUI dizzy that I already had, and correctly time the engine? Thanks, any help is appreciated!
I’m in the process of swapping my 84 FJ60 with a LS3 and won’t have any need for the 2F anymore. The truck was originally taken to a shop to have the rear main seals replaced… when they checked the crankshaft end play it had more play than you'd want for long term use but it is still running...
