I would agree, if I only would have one.The plan is to never have to swap the 13bt out!
I think you have removed your transmission a few times over the years, yes? Not familiar with the frame on a 74, do you have a hard time removing/installing the transmission? On the Ute there isn't enough room to pull the transmission back far enough to lower it without going sideways a bit to have enough clearance to drop/install. Been fighting my transmission for the past two days, I will see if I can put it into 1st gear and remove the shifter then I should be able to wiggle the gears to help line up the splines. I'm trying a uniclutch and the tolerances are very tight.
How long will it take? You can use the garage at my place if you want!Fail.

It’s antifreeze. It’s coming from the cooler so quite the joyous task coming up.
So at this point I need to tackle these at the same time:
Pushrod cover
Front timing cover
Oil cooler gasket
Which means pull a whole lot of crap off the engine It sucks becuase it’s like $25.00 in gaskets but nearing a kegs worth of beer.
The worst part…my shop. It’s angled so I can really only pull forward. I would have to pull the top and rear doors to back in…
Have I whined enough?
Wait til the parts get in and setup a plan. I have a feeling this is how 1hd-FTE swaps begin….
Haha…no
That's a generous offer and can confirm 11/10 the garage is mint! Scanner is mobile and can meet there when you get around to this project @FJBen.How long will it take? You can use the garage at my place if you want!
Super cool and generous offer! I’m not sure how long it will take, I’d image a weekend of normal work or 1 really long day. I’ll have to see how long the part gathering takes and how the timing works. Definitely don’t want to put you out at all.How long will it take? You can use the garage at my place if you want!

We could for sure make that work. You can just leave it over night if needed and take one of my rigs home!Super cool and generous offer!

His place is definitely cool…Can confirm! That is a dream shop.
That would be awesome to get that scanned, very cool and I’m sure useful to it of people.

Scan it, thin thin layer of RTV or anaerobic sealant and call it good. Yes 44's will fit.Semi tech question and maybe to cork sniffer for a race tractor.
Toyota paper gaskets are great. They come covered with a coating. I’m not sure if it’s a sealant or what it is or if all of their gaskets come with that.
You can see the difference in the Toyota gasket then the new one (aftermarket) I got from Australia.

So my questions are:
#1 can you get OEM Toyota paper sheets? Or who is a supplier?
# 2 if above is no, then I suppose it’s is there any paper coated like this available to buy in sheets?
#3 can I fit 35’s? (Sorry I’m in a shaming 100 series mood today)
#4 screw it, scan this one, slap it on and hope for 100k miles without leaks.
And for fun, I remember thinking how cool this rig was back in the day. Some of you may remember it from pirate4x4 in the early 2000’s

I used gasgacinch on the oil cooler paper gasket and that apparently didn’t work out. I mean it did for 30k miles.Scan it, thin thin layer of RTV or anaerobic sealant and call it good. Yes 44's will fit.
This is a tough one with all the chinesium ones out there for anyone crazy enough to bolt one of those on. Seems like you can get one of those for $150Unrelated news…but I’ve got a few things I’m going to post of up for sale (not the cruiser)
But any idea what to price a rebuilt ct26 at?
I won’t be going going back to the stock ct26 and seems silly to keep it.
I think I saw a wanted ad in the diesel classifieds for a CT 26 for their 1HD-T build.Unrelated news…but I’ve got a few things I’m going to post of up for sale (not the cruiser)

I removed a couple of oil coolers from 3B and noticed a couple changes in this area (from inside) from thin aluminum wall to thicker. On some, the thin aluminum wall started to be corroded. If you remove your cover, pay good attention to surface contact. Yes I thing a small layer of sealant both side gasket could not hurt.Might have finally found the culprit.
I don’t see the manual saying anything about sealant on these bolts. It was a little loose.

I went ahead and loosened it slightly and coolant started coming down. Tightened back up and cleaned it off. I suppose another test drive is in order.
