[LS1FJ40]

Did you know...the 3FE's standard timing is 7 degrees while the 1FZE standard timing is only 3 degrees.

Just learned this tonight.

@NLXTACY there is also an 11 mm that is necessary for the heater control valve. Ask me how I know.

EDIT and note That's the nut on the spring actuator, when you shut the hood, mounted on the firewall with the heater control valve. 11mm yup.

Dammit, I was just going to check myself and call shenanigans

Did you know...that if your Cruiser will only go in reverse but not in any forward gears that the likely culprit is a missing caliper bolt?

Did you know...that in an emergency you can use any of your bumper bolts, or tow hook bolts, to use in place of the missing caliper bolt?

Did you know that when installing your lower control arm bushings there is a proper phasing for installing them?

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

CC will work in reverse

Did you know that a couple zip ties can cure your side view mirror shake?

Did you know there are no diesel LandCruisers anywhere within a 100km radius of Tokyo.

And Nagano too right?

 

[B Point]

Oh...maybe. I go to Nagano and Tokyo all the time but I could possibly be fined for doing so....hasn't happened yet.

Did you know that my OEM original gas cap on my 92 80 says TEQ? I just noticed this today when filling up.

I really just wanted to bump the DYK to the front page. Page 7 is no place for this thread!

 

[NLXTACY]

Did you know if anyone BUT started this thread it would have gotten a sticky or at least some FAQ love

 

[NLXTACY]

DYK that all seat belt bolts are 7/16-20?

 

[scottryana]

Verified or heresy?

[NLXTACY]

Verified or heresy?

Every seatbelt bolt I've removed has been the same.

Oh and I have a vested interest to make sure

Or just straighten it on a log after warming it up a bit.

Did you know warming will likely take the temper out of the tie rod.

I can verify that - at least on every 80 I've ever owned/worked on.

Pin 7 mod : low range without lockers baby!!
Did you know the emblem on the hatch is a covered keyhole?

If you are having issues with EGR a common failure is the modulator. Originals had a green sticker on the top, your new one will have a blue sticker on the top. (Based on a '94)
