Hey everyone! First time posting here so I hope I don't step afoul of anything. I've searched high and low thru the forums to find the answer to this question so posting has been my last resort. I am in the process of trying to get my 84 FJ60 up and running. This is my first *car* project (I've...
I've been researching but am unable to come away with any definitive answers, so I'm posting now.
My '91 HZJ77 just lost the transmission, and finding someone to rebuild it in Minnesota is going to be difficult if not impossible. I'm aware that the FJ80s came with the A440, and I'm able to...
Original Arizona truck, resto-mod. Currently in Florida. No rust and 2024 paint and body. 2016 engine rebuild
https://classics.autotrader.com/classic-cars/1982/toyota/land_cruiser/102094976
Goals:
Reliable, decent power, decent offroad (for the Midwest) tow 3000lbs well. (somewhat) comfortable, not loud, low smoke.
I haven't done any serious off-road since about 2011, i had a 1988 pickup, locked on 33s. want to get back into it and make a cool project for a company truck. I've...
On or about 2/1/24 I started on my customers project. Assembly of a 74 FJ, from painted parts and a Engine/tranny/frame that was largely ignored. It has come a long way, and drove onto a transporter in 4Low last saturday. A photo or two of before, then, completed. New electrical system, Engine...
I have an '84 FJ60. I replaced all the suspension on the vehicle because I was having some death wobble issues. There was still a little looseness in the steering, potentially a sttering gear box issue?!?! Not really sure. But nonetheless, I found a local mechanic who had it for about 5-6...
I have new rebuilt L series diesel.
This 5L has just been rebuilt. It cranks wells and it’s getting fuel.
I’ve been chasing this no start for a couple days. First issues was that I installed the injectors wrong with no seals and seat.
• Fuel: the injectors are all bled. New seat and gaskets...
Hello,
I blew the head Gasket on my 22RE years back and I am finally getting around to the fix. I removed the head over the weekend and was thinking of getting it rebuilt locally. It occurred to me that instead of rebuild, an upgrade or new head may be a better option? Does anyone have some...
so thinking unless im wrong its cheaper to rebuild my existing fj60 engine. it runs but 1st cyl is low comp and leakdown shows leak into oil fill.
can anyone recommend a machine shop or engine rebuilder that knows about 2f's in socal az or nevada?
would love to go with a high performance mosley...
I have a 1hdt that had some troubles. It’s a long story but it will need practically a full rebuild and I expect the front timing gears replaced. It threw a timing belt… then I repaired…. Rebuilt head etc. then it did it again…. I think it has damage to those timing gears that went undetected...
hi I just pulled the injectors out and they all the tips were different colours especially 4th cylinder looked burnt. Just wondering if they need a rebuild now and if it could’ve done anymore damage. Cheers
1981 2F. Turns out part # 11431B, new part # 90330-24013 oil galley plugs are no longer available. Anyone do a rebuild lately and what did you do about this? I’ve ordered the 1985-later 2F threaded version to see if those will work. If not it looks like I could step up to a larger size and use...
Hi Everyone,
I'm about to have a go at rebuilding a H150F & HF1A. I have a 2003 HDJ79 with 470,000kms, the gearbox is making a noise from the input shaft at idle when cold and the transfer is making quite the noise when put in neutral with the gearbox in gear at idle. Raising the RPM above 900...
Hey mud, I am running low on engines to rebuild and looking for some core engines to bring back to life. I prefer 95-97 engines because they can be used in the earlier years but will consider earlier years 93-94. I’m not looking to ship engines in from out of state because of cost but if it...
Does anyone know of someone on the East Coast of the USA that can rebuild my KZJ95 trans? Or from whom one can get a remanufactured one?
I have dragged my rig all over my area (Midlands SC) and can’t get anyone to do either. I’ve been out if commission since Halloween. I’m willing to drag it to...
I adjusted the valves to spec and timed it with the light gun at idle (many thanks to responses to my questions on how to get this far). Previous owner had done a "partial desmog" according to people who saw pictures. Now that the rebuild is done I want to know where I need to run vac tubes to...
Took the old girl for a ride yesterday, and after I got back I was checking for leaks and noticed the back of the oil pan where the curved part sits on the last main bearing cap was wet, and there may have been one drip. I wiped it dry and this morning there doesn’t appear to be any fresh...
