After the PO drove the FZJ80 an unknown number of miles with a blown head gasket, the #6 piston looked like this:
The bore was no better. The head was warped and no compression in #6 cylinder. Chocolate milk oil. I pulled the motor (per my build thread) and am now ready for the rebuild. I'm putting the rebuild here separate in case folks like to see the rebuild itself without all my rig specific stuff.
So, with parts back from the machine shop, it's time to take the next step in getting my cruiser on the road for the first time since I bought it. I have never actually driven a cruiser more than 5 miles when I test drove one that I did not buy because the guy wanted too much money. I used to have an 88 Toyota Pickup 4WD
Work done at the shop included:
