I’ve been sitting on this baby for over half a decade now. My plan back then was to rebuild the engine and buy a FJ60 or 61 for cheap, put it in and smile for the rest of my life.
But life, love and purchasing a perfectly good Hz76, and moving, changed the plans.
Thing is, it needed a lot of work, having lived in a Zimbabwe Coaster bus and it was probably all too much for me back then. I now have the time and money to get her up and running, the only problem being no definite plan on what to do with it.
Rolling my own 12HT /HJ60-62 was my first attempt, so better luck this time.
I have a good reliable Cruiser but I still want a toy to muck about with, and I still want a Toyota turbo diesel in my life. So I am going to rebuild and then make a frame to bench run it and go from there.
First off was to see if the IP still at least functions, I know the injectors should be rebuilt but it would be nice if the IP has survived.
I have set it up on my work bench (with pipes and injectors) and primed it, early days but with a hand crank, nothing pissing out of the injectors yet, but I am getting fuel out of the pipe in the picture. Where should it be connected to, I was under the impression that inline pumps did not have a return. I know the smaller diameter pipe should go to the injector spill tube.
Also, can I expect enough pressure to crack the injectors by hand turning the injector pump?
