12 shiny new standard bore lifters. I've been buying spares to rebuild my original 12ht that broke down in Canada and this is one of those parts I still need to buy for it while they're still in the system.
I powdered these a while back

I like to put sealant on the cover side of the gasket
This side is buttoned up.
Engine block brackets and the short block will be complete.

And Roma, let me be very very clear: the only reason I asked about the timing was that I did not understand it when I read it in the manual!
I also have 10 brand new pushrods, I need to source two more.… I wonder if there’s a parts guy around???

Couldn't resist to get some powder on these after I blasted them this evening.
I don't have a very good powder coating gun so I ended up putting the powder on pretty thick trying to fill in the areas the gun wasn't applying good coverage. Seemed to work out well though because it came out smooth as glass. May have to start doing it like that more often. Wish I would have gotten a before picture of these and one after the preheat gas out process while they where a dark bronze color.
Think I'm officially caught up now until I get the call from the machine shop saying the cylinder head is done.

I’m going to try to pack you up a pallet of the rest of the parts for the motor today!
Great work, as usual...
Roma, do 1HZ/HD engines also have that timing plate?
Not sure on that sorry
Hey the 1HZ/1HD doesn't have a adapter plate it is a rotary pump and bolts directly to the back of the timing cover.
Work trip had me out of town for 5 weeks but finally getting back at it. Picked the cylinder head up from the machine shop and got some paint on it this evening. It got new push rod tubes, valve seals, a valve job, new guides, decked, and checked for cracks. Clean bill of health so it's ready to go.
Taping was a bit tedious and I made sure to pull the tape after an hour or so before the paint fully set.

Galen, with a motor this nice, you know what you should be doing with the rest of the truck. Way to nice (and not too common) of a 60 series truck not to do it
.
Jimmy, Dr. Wachtman is busy with a ton of other projects, work and family at the moment. Let him enjoy the truck for a while.
Besides, I need him to free up so that he can come mountain bike with me.

Jimmy, if I didn’t have two frame off projects in line I’d frame off this one so fast...but I am currently Cruiserless as all my running trucks are down!
So it might have to be a sparkly new motor in a relatively clean engine bay for a while.
And yeah I need to ride with @davegonz and the rest of the Austin cruiser MTB crew More than I do!

Do you need to borrow a vehicle?
