Hi to All,
I'm planning to have my engine rebuilt on my 09/1974 FJ40.
Below is the vin plate on my 1974 FJ40 General Market:
It still has the original 1F engine, a late model F155 engine which has the same oiling system with the later 2F engines.
I am able to find the all necessary parts for the rebuild save for the piston and piston rings.
As an alternative approach, is it possible to install standard sized 2F pistons, piston rings and have the block bored and sleeved with 2F standard sized piston liners? I currently have the aforementioned parts as a spare from my 12/1979 FJ40.
Thank you in advance and this thread will serve as a future build thread as well.
