Well finally got my 1970 Fj back to Va at Iron Pig Off Road. Lance did a leak down test and I think his words went something like this, ‘that was one of the worst I have seen….”
Not a good way to start out the day and the first time that I was able to see the vehicle. Even with the bad news on tHe leak down test, I am excited to get the ball rolling on getting this vehicle back on the road. Being that I really want to keep this vehicle as original as I possibly can, we are planning to pull the engine, take it to a machine shop and see what we need to rebuild it. He was very honest with me and let me know that will be a very tall task to get parts. Being the eternal optimist, I wanted to post on the forum to see if anyone could help me locate parts for an original F engine. Keep smiling……
