rebuild

Yes - I searched. There are about two threads that I could find that really cover this. I'm hoping to pick some peoples brains who have broken in their motors with a similar rebuild on them. Planning on getting my fresh 1fz in the truck this weekend. It has a rebuilt head (same cams -...

We just received our '88 LJ70 2.4TD from the shippers not too long ago and unfortunately we need a starter. I asked the Spanish mechanic to fix it just before we left, but apparently that was lost in translation and he only cleaned it, not replaced the parts. Anyway, can't cry over spilled milk...

Anyone with a HF1A (part-time) transfer case done a self-rebuild on theirs? Mine is I think original to the vehicle. It's got a wobbly rear output flange so that means it's at the point of needing proper attention. I can get a rebuild kit. I've never pulled a transfer case apart but would there...

First post here! I've searched around for an answer but there's so much info i can't really seem to understand what im looking for. I have a 1988 FJ62 with 211000 miles. 3rd owner. Purchased last december. When i was checking the vehicle out, i noticed (what i thought) was gear oil slowly...

After flying to another city with my brother in law I picked up my dream car. A relatively stock (with the exception of sitting on 35’s with a SOA setup and a webber carb) 1978 FJ40 Landcruiser. After checking with the PO that it would make it through the mountains home we decided to drive the...

Not sure if I'm posting this question in the right area even though I read the manual. Bare with me. I'm rebuilding my front brake shoe cylinders on a 1967 fj40. The pic below shows two cups: 1) fluted plastic, and 2) 1x5/16" rubber cup. I've purchased many of the rebuild kits on the web, but...

I know this is long overdue, but here is the follow up to my "What should I do?" thread. My LX450 left my family stranded on the side of the highway after losing oil pressure the day after Thanksgiving. I was thinking about a swap, but found a 1FZ on Craigslist for $200 that I am rebuilding...

Hi guys! Its been a while since I did any posting on here. So here is a quick update. I have a class project to rebuild my tired 2H. I tore the engine apart last summer and brought my camshaft over to vancouver to measure the camshaft lobes and found that they were all worn out from the...

I am about to rebuild the 2F in my 87' FJ60. I'm also thinking of upgrading to the h55f tranny. The vehicle has 320k miles and it doesn't look like the transfer case has been rebuilt. I have never had any issues with it, it's always operated perfectly. Should I have the T case rebuilt while...

So over the holidays I finally got around to rebuilding my stock aisan carb. Followed pinheads videos and the FSM and all was well with the world. Got everything together and it ran great for about a week. Then a piece of dirt/debri made it's way into the carb and plugged up one of the jets...

I'm planning to rebuild my head in the next few months and I want to read up as much as possible. I can't find anything in the FAQ section for the 60's or 40's that seems to be the definitive guide to rebuilding the head. Other than the FSM can you point me in the direction of any threads that...

Hey everyone! Today was day 2 of taking the 80 apart and stripping the engine. As I mentioned in my other post, I am having a shop do the actual engine build. But I am removing it and reinstalling it. To be honest, I feel a little overwhelmed right now and wish I didn't start this...

I am having my FZJ80 (1993) engine rebuilt. A friend advised me to NOT let the shop rework the cams, but to order new ones. A pair are about $1k right now. With the rebuild already at approx $4k, that is a huge chunk of the budget. He claims there would be a HUGE loss of power, and that I...

Hi all, One of the newer members here, and just getting around to starting a thread on my latest project - a 1984 FJ60. I previously owned a 1990 HJ60 (while living in the Congo) and had to get my hands on another cruiser when we moved back state-side. I found this one for a decent price...

Hi. I wanted to pick the brains of the experts on here. Anyone that has rebuilt their 2F. I am thinking I want to freshen mine up. I haven't rebuilt a 2F before. I have rebuilt other engines, so I have some engine rebuilds under my belt. But I know that every engine can have its quirks. Where...

I have got a 2000 model Lc100 with an Inline 6, 4.5 EFI (1FZ-FE) The cruiser has cloaked 400k Kms so far in the last 30k kms I have had issues with the auto transmission were in it slips from 2nd gear to 3rd gear. So I thought it would be the perfect time for a transmission and engine rebuild...

Hey guys Im looking for the most dependable parts at the best deal for knuckle rebuild kits for a Fj80. Thank you!

I recently rebuilt my 2F, went .020 over, added a header, and doing the Howell EFI system. Well, we go to try to get her to turn over and it sounds like my batteries are dying. That's impossible because I just put two yellows tops in. Anyway, we remove all the spark plugs and it turns over fine...

So, I am new to the forum and to anything offroad. I currently work directly for the owner of this cruiser. Ill be honest I dont know anything about the cruisers or the cruiser world. That said this forum consistently comes up and offers helpful threads with great info. I thought that it would...
