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...
1. 1996 model LX450 ‘slung a rod’ several years ago at 275k miles. I bought at 70k from a rich dude, it literally looked brand new. The next 200k miles, all oil changes etc and only 93 octane. This vehicle has literally never been off road (sorry to disappoint everyone, just not my thing...
Sometime in the next few weeks I'm planning to undertake this project. It's time. Pretty leaky and my steering system needs a refresh.
About 20 years ago a friend helped me repack bearings on a drum brake axle and I repacked the bearings on my 100 series a few years back. Otherwise, I'm a...
My 1965 FJ45 LPB (from Arizona) engine was completely rebuilt also the SD40 carburetor. Yesterday was fire up day. It started immediately, ran well and idled. When throttling up it would stall or run rough. Looked at all vacuum points and all good. Determined it must be with SD40. Reason being...

I bought this little trailer all of the way back in 2015 to pull behind the Subaru Forester I had at that time. It was $250 from Harbor Freight and I spent around $250 more to put 3/4" plywood beds and sides on it. Since then we've made hundreds of trips to the city yard waste disposal area...
So I have a 1986 fj60 that I really love. The interior has been dynamatted and all the upholstery has been done. However I went to drive it yesterday and smoke was just pouring out of the tailpipe. I got out and checked and sure enough there’s oil buildup in the tailpipe.
I had been planning on...
Figured I would share this for giggles and for anyone curious about alternator rebuilding. Last summer my high output alternator roasted a bearing so I swapped it out with an OEM that I had kept in storage for many years to use as a backup. Well I suspect the sub zero temps we had a couple...
