I was just providing the part number for what Dan recommended.
For coolant situations we use 08826-00100. You throw up at the price.
Oh, I forgot about that one. That would be the one to use. It's relatively new. Maybe 10 years or so?
That housing looks very similar to the coolant outlet on the cylinder head of a VW TDI. They use an o-ring to seal against the head, looks like the groove in yours would fit an o-ring great with a little cleanup.
The groove is for RTV.

Good news, my package of cooler parts that I ordered 11/13 finally got to my house yesterday! Canada Post strike made it over a month late!
I ordered from @Radd Cruisers he answered my emails at 9:30pm at night and had it shipped out the next day. Great service there, good price on the kit. Only complaint is Canada post strike holding it all up. Guess I will have a spare I never hope to use. I had to make the one gasket so I hope it holds.
It’s amazing when you have the timing right, they fire right up
Topped fluids, last bolts and belt and went for a test drive. Nothing like topless in December…or something like that
No leaks to see yet, I’m sure still need to burp the coolant more.
Total project:
Replace Headgasket
Resurface head
Reseal pushrod cover
Reseal oil cooler, all new gaskets o-rings
Reseal timing cover with new gasket
Oil change & filter
New coolant
Price = less than $400
Now to get some help to put the hardtop on for the winter.

Nice work, amazed you did all that so cheaply.
While your hands are still oil I'd be tempted to put that gasket on, or maybe at the next oil change.
As they say, timing is everything!

Yeah it’s Probabaly a good idea for the next oil change, but part of me thinks if it isn’t leaking then leave it alone.
Timing IS everything
it’s very easy to mess it up with the way the timing cover is on these with the automatic timer. Headgasket - $85
Head resurface $105
Cooler gaskets $60
FPIG - $15
Timing cover gasket $65
Oil $40 (had the filter already)
Coolant $40
Actually I forgot I double ordered cooler parts since the Canada ones got delayed so I was a closer to $450 with that.

I roped my nephew into it!
Full winter mode now.
The cruiser has sat for a few days in the cold, basically outside. Glowed it a few times and about 10-12 seconds she started. New battery makes a heck of a difference in cranking power in cold.
Was about 10F or -12C this morning. Had to
Jump my Kubota since that battery is really old and hates the cold…I had to move some hay and needed the tractor. Fired it right up.
I’m

Been driving the cruiser and all Seems ok…
Of course I ran out of town for a trip on the 2006 tundra and…
10.1v output. I had minimal tools with me and an oreilleys in town, not too mention it’s 15 degrees out. However I did have a garage so that’s at least a plus.
Limped 12 miles into town, no lights/blower anything. Hit the parts store confirmed bad alternator and they only had 1 in stock. Lifetime warranty…right because I’ll replace it 2 years.
Anyways the one on the tundra was a reman. I’ve had this tundra since 112k miles and it has 190k now so OEM must have failed early as I’ve never replaced it.
It’s always something….

Day of cruiser…
I’m haven’t really gotten a chance to drive it since the repairs since I’ve been out of town a lot. Well today I had to run a ton of errands and what better for stop and go traffic, busy city and a ton of stops than a diesel Land Cruiser?
Fire it up man! Cold weather start, off and running at 8 to a grocery store. Then 40 miles south to Boulder, CO to drop my guitar off at Woodsongs Lutherie. My headstock snapped on my favorite acoustic….she will be there a month and back to new(ish) for a guitar I’ve owned almost 30 years.
The drive from Boulder to Lyons is right on the foothills. It’s nearly 50 today, snow gone until a big storm tomorrow. Chugging right along
next stop Berthoud,CO. Home of Aussies Poke Pit Stop.
Pie - The Very Australian | Aussie's Poke Pitstop - https://www.aussiespokepitstop.com/?location=11ecdaa00311a2e2ba48ac1f6bbbd01e&item=77#3
The owners from down under.
anyways, no sooner did I walk in when someone said: thats really a really cool
Cruiser. I used to drive Hilux when I was in New Zealand for a couple years. What’s the difference between it and the cruiser.
Me ecstatic to talk cruisers: Well you see (continues to explain the overbuilt superiority of the Land Cruiser over the hilux and prado …)
His wife or girlfriend says all excited :so you come here to feel like home? When did you move to the United States:?
Me:
I had every intention of dropping every Aussie phrase I knew, in a terrible accent and Mick Dundee’ing my way into these people’s hearts full bogan style but then I remembered the owner was a true Aussie and it just felt wrong to me.
So I had to explain I’m a Coloradan (which you have to explain here anymore that you aren’t from Cali or Texas) and it was just imported from Australia. They thought it was cool, but my moment to shine faded away.
I bought a Tucker pie for later, A nice pulled brisket slow cooked & marinated in beer + vegemite. some Tim tams and a flake bar and slowly walked out the door humming men at work songs.
Next stop, the alpaca farm to finish a roofing project I was working on. Here’s a picture of a baby earlier this summer. Cute creatures that make the strangest noises
Then I was hungry but was saving my tucker pie for the road tomorrow. In-n-out it is. Grabbed a quick burger and on to the next 2 stops. Don’t mind the duck mobile in the background.
After getting home, dropping off some hay and preparing the animals for big freeze and -15f we are getting over the weekend it was off to have dinner with @PabloCruise at Bruce’s Bar. Famous for Rocky Mountain Oysters.
Always enjoy talking cruisers and hanging out. Thanks for the food TJ! @PabloCruise and I have been friends and cruiser buddies since the early 2000s when he was all over my old 55 outside a store in Ft Collins. Fast forward and he has an amazing 55.
Logged quite a few hours in the cruiser and
She ran great.

Well, just another errand cruise. Cold soaking the last week and this morning in -15F was a bit of a tough start. I waited until it hit 18F to even try. 24v would make such a difference.
Groceries, parts, and yes I picked up the mail.
Roads were clear, no salt or mag-chloride

I am so sick of putting away Cruisers until the crap is off the roads. All I can do is sit in them and pretend to be driving like a 7 year old would.
Not all bad really, being a kid is where it's at.
Your truck is looking way cool. Great rig
