agreement I had with the machine shop was that I supply the parts and they do the work (they said parts were hard to get). So I got the cam, gears, lifters, pistons, rings and seal/gasket set and dropped it all off. when I got it back there was a few bits left over, some of which I've identified...
I am currently taking apart my 1FZ and I noticed that the stamping on the block does not match with the vin on the body. Are they supposed to match or is it just an American car thing?
On my 2F 86 FJ 60, I have this elbow fitting coming out of the passenger side of the block. It looks to be a cold water return from the rear floor heater. (Please correct me if that assumption is wrong) Puzzling thing is it has a Tee in it with a short 5/16 heater hose that is not connected. PO...
I'm looking for a picture, if possible, of one of the PTO drive shaft pillow block brackets from a late 60 Series.
There seem to be multiple arrangements of drive shafts and brackets. I'm not sure when the change occurred, probably late 87 with the facelift, but I have seen an early (1984ish)...
Hello - any Canadians that can point me to a video or set of instructions for installing the Kats cartridge block heater on a 5.7L Tundra? My dealer is having a terrible time finding the tube and installation instructions are no longer included in the FSM.
This posting is for a long block only. so valve cover to oil pans no accessories. The block has been hot tanked then machined for flatness. Bored .50 over OEM pistons and rings will be installed. New OEM bearings on the rods and crank. The head has been cleaned and checked for cracks. Three way...
Hey all, this is a small post but I figured I’d toss it out there for anyone who needs it.
I personally could not find the part number for the water pump studs for the life of me even with a lot of mud/ google. Oh well, regardless if anyone needs them because the nut stripped (like me) here’s...
Looking for a long block for a 95-97 long block that was running prior to being pulled. Located in the Seattle area but willing to pay for shipping for the right motor. Open to other options as well!
1992 FJ80 3FE block which has been cleaned and inspected, .014" wear (worst) to cylinders with some pitting from sitting, machinist stated that .030" would clean her up. Purchased this LC with the engine pulled (complete/not opened up) last fall. She's nice and rust free but PO stated she was...
Pulled this 1FZ-FE out of a 94 with an engine knock at 150k.
PO blew a HG and had the engine rebuilt (poorly). Engine knock is occuring in cylinder 6 with very mild bearing wear but within OEM Spec. All other bearings checked out ok. I didn't spend a lot of time troubleshooting as I replaced...
Cross-posting from my thread for feedback. As someone who has never torn an engine down like this, I’m looking for advice on how to proceed. If there’s no flags raised by the condition of the block, I’ll continue to clean and put it back together.
My 60 sat for years abandoned and had obvious...
So I’m trying to prep for winter. Can’t find an OEM block heater, and I don’t want to go through the trouble of removing a freeze plug, only for a universal block heater to not fit.
So option 2, heating the oil instead of the coolant. I don’t necessarily want to do a magnet or stick on heating...
This is on the side of my 3Bii block. Original engine, vehicle construction date 07/1989:
Now I read this as '9' meaning 1989, and '6' meaning June. or could it be Week 6 of 1989? No idea what UB means!
Wondering if anyone knows more or can correct me?
Before anyone chimes in with it, no...
Hi all,
Had the water pump and timing belt on my 1999 Lx470 replaced by a shop a few days ago because it was leaking. After driving home from work today I noticed a puddle of coolant under the engine and discovered a steady leak from the bottom back of the engine. Anyone know what could be...
Hi all
I just did my rear main seal and followed @Poser ‘s method, which is taking the oil pan off along with the main bearing cap (#4). My engine is a ‘77 2F, and I have it off the vehicle on an engine stand. Overall it went very smoothly.
When putting the main bearing cap back on, what is...
