I have just completed a near 2 year ground up reno on my Aug 1980 FJ40 Soft top, did all work in my shed by myself. Back to original Toyota white 031, removed lpg and removed the emissions control equip (have kept it just in case I feel the desire to put it all back).
I have replaced all seals, gaskets etc on motor/gearbox/transmission, new thermostat but the engine bay seems to be hot after driving around town. The needle on the temp gauge does not go past the first mark. Is this typical for the 2F motor or should I be looking at changing parts ie radiator and water pump?
Not a qualified mechanic/panel beater but enough knowledge to do this reno.
Thanks in advance
