Huge progress - very cool. Congrats!
Last night after posting the above I salvaged the orig rocker screws, put em back on and adjusted. Quieted it down! Need to adjust the valves again, but that’ll be when the rad is out and getting repaired. Or will it? Might just JB weld the rad for now. Not much else to do on it until my delayed fuel tank sealer and the rockauto order I haven’t made yet gets here. I just want to bandaid the radiator so I can get it up to temp to do an oil change and proper valve adjustment.

If you want some that aren't mangled let me know. I have a few extra lying around.
I’ll PM you!
The reason I like your story so much is that my FJ62 was parked for many years at a neighbor's house and they started it 2x/year and drove it, and it was pretty hammered - windows left down in the winter, etc.
A few pictures here: New '62 (new for me, anyway)
I really enjoy mine now and have it all spruced up and it's ultra reliable and fun to drive. I filled it up at Sam's Club the other day with $1.29 gas and got my usual 11.97 MPG city gas mileage. At least I can run the A/C without any guilt - it's not like it will 'hurt the gas mileage'. Keep charging away at yours and you'll have a fine rig.

Hi, Looking better. Seal inside of tank and run non ethanol from Buckies. Mike
Gas tank shops can boil the tank in lye - I just had this done on a minitruck parked 10 years. He said it was among the worst he had seen. $110. Took several days and soakings.
Big thanks to @Godwin for sending some non-mutilated valve adjuster screws my way

If I remember correctly, there should be a little hole in the Cylinder housing ,right behind the wiper stalk, that you will need to insert something to depress the latch.
Maybe @ToyotaMatt has the information you need.I think that’s how you get it out, not going far enough in to press anything, though.
