1HZ Question

[Heem]

recently got a 1HZ/55F combo. two people I really respect advised not rebuilding it before I swap. It is going into an 86 FJ60. It is super clean and came from one of our mines here in Montucky. It is very very clean,...by appearance - and has some bar code sticker on it. I believe that it has never been used. call me crazy. if it was rebuilt they cleaned thee holy livin cree-ap out of it.

it is also un-mated from the equally clean looking H55F tranny and has no xfer case.

the persons that advised not rebuilding it are very knowledgeable and have done a considerable amount of diesel swaps both toyota and non.

looking for more opinions.

Honestly speaking, if it came from a mine and still has a sticker on it and is clean then it must have come out of the store!!! Clean and ex-mine normally just do not go together. Compression test and just stick it in I would say,

Run it up on a stand, they are easy to start

If she runs good stick it in.

Rosco,

Are those brass sealing washers I see under the head bolts?

Rick

my guess is assembly grease. The washers (if still on there) are steel.


I still cant get over the aluminum cam bearings.

I dont think so Rick. I cant remember seeing anything like that in the FSM but this pic does make them look like brass
