Hi folks! I recently finished a full rebuild of my original 5/73 F engine. It was running very badly, and leaking so much oil that I was paying as much (or more) for oil than I was gas. Not fun.
Long story short, it doesn't feel like it has any more power than it did before. I believe that my...
I am working on a 1972 FJ40 and found a vacuum switch on the intake manifold but have no clue as to what is does. Can anyone help identify this part? Also, if the Aisan carburetor is such a good choice for the FJ40s why are there so many that have been changed out? Why, back in the day, would...
Hi. My natural instinct is yes, I do need a new oil pump. But I have a 5/73 F engine and can no longer get a new oil pump because they're discontinued.
I suppose I could upgrade to a 2F oil pump, but I've heard that I would need to get a 2F oil pan too.
What are my options? Can I just reuse...
I have a 1969 Toyota F Engine that I was in the process of rebuilding as a backup for my current rig. I am moving and selling my rig so no longer need the back up engine. Engine is still in part stage but I do have the engine gasket rebuild kit. Rings were replaced. Sold as is. Head is good...
I've scoured threads here and on Pirate and can't determine the answer to the following question in absolute:
Will a (pre 1979) 2F replace an F engine in a 1972 fj40 without modifying the 3 speed transmission?
Does it share the same transmission bolt patterns, engine mount location. I am aware...
I purchased a '72 fj40 a few weeks ago and was in the process of putting life back into it (a classic barn find, if you will) when a serious knock developed: spun bearings for sure. The current engine is an early F (not original) and had been "re-manufactured" as evident from a tag on the block...
Hi, I am rebuilding my truck's original F engine from may of 1973. I know the "F.5" engine came out in 1973, but mine is a May model so it should have the older engine.
What color did these come from the factory? I have no idea what color to paint this thing, so I am thinking I will just do...
Hi, I have an F engine and this nut won't seem to come loose. Is it reverse threaded or anything? Or do I just need more torque to remove it?
Please excuse my ignorance. Thanks for any help.
Evening all! I am in need of a functional temp gauge for a 73 F engine. The rest of my gauge cluster works, but the temp gauge does not work.
Thank you in advance!

I found an f engine with no F 108007 on it . I can't find any reference to engines with 108 for the first 3 digits. haven't seen the block yet so can't get the date off it.
Could it be a truck or forklift engine ;
Quick question... I have the diaphragm from an F engine cooling system/waterpump and I noticed I did not put the gasket on the pic ( letter D) in the correct order.. I put the thermostat on the lower piece water outlet and then paper gasket on top then the upper water outlet piece with rubber...
I did a search to see if anyone has posted more details about swapping out a F engine with a 2F but I was unable to locate anything. (Maybe I was using the wrong description.) Does anyone know of a thread that goes into the details of the swap?
My 72 FJ55 has what appears to be a stock F carb and is running good but I have a few questions about the vacuum connections.
1.) HIGHLIGHTED in RED - I'm not familiar with the vacuum diaphragm on the left side of the carb
(what function does this diaphragm perform) ?
2.) HIGHLIGHTED in...
So, I recently found this aftermarket oiling setup on a CL 69' "F" motor. It's designed to run the common Fram PH8A screw on filter and it bolts directly to the "F" engine block were the regulator would normally go.
I'm curious because the quality on this is VERY good. It's...
...what is the best thing to do?
This engine I acquired but don't need, no one seems to want. I'm thinking of scrapping it. 800 lbs of metal should be worth something, no? Should it be saved? It's rebuildable, I just don't have anywhere to store it. Does some enthusiast out there want it? I...
Completely stock 1993 FZJ80 with just under 141,000 miles. Has all the options, including factory electric front and rear differential lockers (both in working condition). New brakes, radiator, and radiator hoses within the last 1,000 miles. Runs and drives great.
Check engine light is on and...
Hi,
As for F and 2F engines: What would be the lowest possible idle speed still being adequate for sufficient lubrication? Basically I would like to know if it is possible to make a F or 2F sound like this V8:
Look after 1:20. Is this a distinct V8 sound or can an I6 sound similar?
Thanks...
