head gasket

I have a spare 3FE head that I just brought into a local machine shop to be cleaned and evaluated, and was told that it needs pretty much everything replaced, including rotators and valves. It is a good head though, no cracks and minimal warpage. They said it would cost around $900 to get it...

So its been a while, but I am once again a proud owner of a Land Cruiser.. err Lexus LX450! I was fortunate to find this very clean 96. The rig is pretty solid, 2 owner with 202k on the odometer. The PO noticed some oil in the coolant overflow tank and decided to sell it to avoid the hassle of...

Edit----I'm an idiot who didn't even think about the Valve Cover gasket until after I posted. The VC gasket is most definitely toast. Sorry. Move along---- So I just finished replacing the O2 Sensors on my pretty stock 93 FZJ80 (230,000mi) and I did my typical under truck inspection. I...

Installed an SC, dropped the pulley to 2.8", installed a meth kit, did a long pull up Mt Rose to Lake Tahoe, and noted it was moving very slowly. Then heard some popping sounds. Then saw a massive cloud of white smoke. Used up a couple quarts of oil. Saw bubbles in the radiator reservoir...

So three years ago I replaced the head gasket on my '97 and got the head surfaced and cleaned and even had a valve job done. put it all back together following the FSM instructions and this past weekend I was driving and noticed the temp gauge a 1/4 inch above where it normally is. So i pull...

From what I understand these are NLA. So maybe someone has a NOS on the shelf somewhere.

hey guys, I'm new to this forum and to 4WDing, I have a 95 1FZFE which has a cracked head. It'd been replaced by the previous owner, who went cheap and bought a Chinese one. Just wanting to know if there are particular brands / sellers who sell decent heads in Australia.

Hey all, Forgive me as I am a "Noob" but I am towards the end of my long and rigorous search for a great FZJ80. I have read thousands of posts on here about my predicament but couldnt find an answer. I want to move forward on one that I found on my local craigslist. It was priced very high, but...

I let my wife drive my 80 and and think it blew a head gasket while she was driving. Got into the engine and can't really tell what has happened, but what ever it was it dropped all the oil and coolant. Any ideas? Anyone know where I could get an engine for it? Please Help!

First post... I've been reading MUD for sometime and it's simply incredible how much great information there is on this site. Thank you all. It's one of the reasons I started looking at cruisers. I recently purchased a 1995 FJZ80 with a known head gasket issue. Overall, the truck is in...
