So much hardware porn in here, can turn these images into a coffee table book

Funny you said that. I just spent the afternoon going though all of my OEM hardware. M6/8 in one drawer, M10/12/14 in another... and kept some of the old school special numbered bolts from the 60’s/70’s/80’s.

And all of my water/air hose clamps:

And turbo application hose clamps:

Got all of the parts organized and off the ground...

Organized the work space...

And got materials for an interim project while I wait for parts and machine work... not my doing... I’m the labor...

She sits staring at me... wanting life....

Are you in charge of digging the holes for those posts?

 

[stayalert]

LOL - diggin' in the dirt.....Only way yer hands will get "clean" for the next round of 3B rejuvi!

Excellent build, Onur... thank you for documenting it.

I have a spare/used 15bft oil cooler. Do you want to see if it will work with the older B? I'll send it down if you are interested. They are still available new.

Me and the auger.

Thanks Brian! You are only 2.5hrs from me... want to come down and supervise?

Interesting about the 15B-FT oil cooler. Let me look at some schematics and part numbers.

Thanks for the lead.

thatll keep ya busy for a few days, if its going to rain cover them up as they soak up more water than you think and get very heavy.

Woodstock? Under 2 hours.... but down to one vehicle here, the 200. Can't leave the fam w/o transportation. I doubt my Taco will be back up for at least another 2 weeks, and the BJ is still in the barn. Bummer!

We'll have to work remotely, lol!

Anyone have a #2 bearing cap? Literally fell apart in my hand pulling it. FML. Amazing how well the engine ran like this...

View attachment 2262293View attachment 2262294

green paint on all the main bearing cap which should mean #2: 2.485 to 2.490 mm STD size
Have a difference in con rod bearing, 1 green and three yellow paint mark.

huh? Yes I understand the sizing but those colors have long worn off. Everything will be STD on the rebuild.

Yes I was skeptical when readind the FSM but all the paint mark are still there! (2020). Have the same block number 11411-58040. I'm also rebuilding the 3B.
Thanks for sharing all your info, much appreciate....

Glad this thread can be of assistance. I’ve threadmarked everything so you can easily find a post based on the area of the engine I’m working on.

Good luck with your rebuild.

My best findings, as of right now, show the cooler chould(?) work using the later style oil gallery passage gaskets 15785-58010. The oil cooler case to block gasket supersedes out to the same number 15725-56020. The 15BFT looks like a second gen 3B in this area.

I'd hate to see you lose a fresh engine if a used 30 year old oil cooler gives up a small chunk of built up debris while the filter is in bypass.... While not super probable, it is possible.

I’ll take a look into it Brian. I’ve been keeping brake parts cleaner in the cooler for the past few days. Agitating and then emptying. I’ve done that at least ten times and the brake parts cleaner is coming out pretty clean now.

I'm definetly not trying to piss in your cherios here... just overly cautious with these items. Certainly, there are better things to spend $200 on. Please carry on and I will bow out.

Your input is always a pleasure to have sir.

Today was also hardware day.... all new hardware I like to have around on a project like this...

 

[OGBeno]

Snagged the last one of these. Even came in the cool old boxes from years ago. This one had been sitting on the NAPCC (North American Parts Center, California) shelf for a long time...

Pressure plate bolt: 90119-08134 (M8x1.25)

I refer to the Toyota hardware part numbering documentation when ordering bulk hardware:
