A few more, I'm done wrenching on this for the day
After torqueing all the large stuff down, I placed paint marks on them for easy reference in case things ever start to loosen. Tomorrow I'll get the vacuum pump mounted and the oil feed line installed.
Does anyone know if it's a problem to flip the engine over now that the injection pump is installed? There's a note in the FSM talking about not letting it tip over past 45 degrees or something like that. Seems weird to me.

One more, I'm off to Leavenworth, WA to attend the Oktoberfest over there 
I spent roughly an hour chasing the block threads for the exhaust stuff this morning, it should go together nice and smooth now.

I'll buy this truck when you're done, let me know!

Lol, my wife would divorce me. It's going to be her DD and she's been waiting nearly 2 years now while it's gathered dust in the shop 
Have you bought a new clutch for the h151? It would be very helpful to have a measurement of the thickness of material on the new clutch plate. My 12 valve has a h151 stock. I haven't split it yet, but a measurment of a new plate would give me an idea how much life is left before I shove it in the LX. Think the FSM mentions 3mm min. to rivets.

Yes, it's sitting on the shelf, brand new Aisin unit. I'll measure it out for you when I get back into town
Awesome!
I'll cover your divorce fees. Keep me in mindLol, my wife would divorce me. It's going to be her DD and she's been waiting nearly 2 years now while it's gathered dust in the shop

Back home now, I replaced these two hoses (feed/return) for the injection pump and the wire assembly as mine was broken.

Depending on where you measure on the rivet, the depth (one side) is either 4.5mm or 3mm. Total clutch disc thickness is 11mm. I hope this helps somewhat. To my surprise, the clutch that was behind this engine mic'd out at just over 10mm so obviously it didn't have much wear on it. Fully re-usable in my opinion. If anyone is looking for flywheel, pressure plate and clutch disc assembly, my plan is to sell any of the used parts which are re-usable.

Are you planning on a G-Turbo? If so, your OEM clutch will not be sufficient and will not hold. I put in a brand new OEM clutch (300 mm disk) and it slipped when the turbo kicked in.
I got a heavy duty clutch from xxi industries and that solved the problem (Landcruiser Performance).

Teaser......after waiting over 3 months, the replacement steering wheel (re-stitched leather) finally arrived. The interior is officially "done" now leather wise. I ain't afraid of no silly airbag!!!

No, for now the plan is running this thing stock as I don't want to complicate stuff and I have 1 spare of everything you can possibly bolt on the engine including a spare OEM turbo. I did a GM 5.7 Vortec swap in my FJ40 11+ years and over 30k ago. I left it BONE stock beside the headers (which wouldn't fit in the 40 anyway) because I felt that GM had spent a lot of $$ paying smart engineers to design an engine which was a reliable, everyday driver. Turn the key and it just starts.... I may have been right as I've had ZERO issues with the motor so far in a truck that sees quite a bit of abuse.
My thought process with this swap is similar, Keep it Simple Stupid. I'm not saying the larger turbo wouldn't be awesome though.......
I think a lot of us are here for that famed Toyota reliability.

Continuing on..... Washed valve cover, pretty nasty still
Attacked it with a bronze wire wheel on a die grinder, a 3M Scotch pad (red) on a die grinder, a small wire brush driven by a drill and roughly half a can of parts cleaner. Getting better...
