2F Timing gear cover: Bolt sizes and order (1 Viewer)

[IS2SPICY4U]

Can someone confirm if the diagram is wrong or the manual I am using does not apply to my engine?

Manual I am using:
File name:1985 2F-3F Engine FSM.pdf
Title page says: Toyota 3F Repair Manual
With sharpie it reads: Heavy Duty Land Cruiser and 1984 on the side
You can find it under Resources link at the top when searching for FSM

Reason I ask: To the best of my recollection, the B and C sized bolts are not in the order the manual indicates, and are not the sizes the diagram indicates. B and C are backwards. B should be C and viceversa.

The reason I say this is because of the cooler return line from the oil cooler, the line is attached to the ‘back’ of the cover by two brackets. Hence the two nuts you see on the pic. The cover bolt has to be long enough to protrude to the ‘back’ of the cover so the cooling line brackets can be secured by the two nuts. According to the pic, the C bolts are the sort ones, hence not allowing to secure the cooling line.

And because of the obvious: Diagram shows 6 C size bolts, and those are the longer ones.

So my educated guess is that the diagram is wrong? I am ready to put the cover back so I’ll go with common sense for now but any input will be appreciated.

Here’s a diagram of the bolts and where they go on a 2F. The thin scribed number with decimal places I scrawled on the page next to my number is the length.

Great! Thank you. I’ll try this config and report back. There’s a C size bolt that I’m trying to put in but is not bitting on the threads, I may have the order wrong.

Success!! I had a C and a D in the wrong spot. Not to mention the E!! I did not know there was a third size! I had to line them up to compare sizes.

Thank you @OSS for the reply. I am def downloading this pic form my files.

That nut is to hold the tab of the lower coolant pipe to the oil cooler. (#6)

It's also in the 1980 2f engine FSM

Where do the tabs of hard line #6 go? Is it bolted to the back with nuts? The threads by the head are galled a bit so I was thinking the hard lines were on top of the timing cover?

The FSM implies 4 16mm for E and D...I only have two, so the marked up page makes more sense to me...

Yes the metal tab brackets on the metal pipe (#6) mount on the outside of the timing cover.
My timing cover had never been removed. It was original, and when I removed it, some of the bolt lengths didn’t match what the FSM stated. So it’s not critical for a few of the bolts.

Yes, bolted to the back with a nut on the longer bolt.
