87 FJ60 has been more or less a daily driver since I’ve owned it. I put more miles on it than the first three owners combined.
Long story short, it overheated on me one day and had to be towed home. Tore it all down and did head gasket and all the other associated gaskets along the way. Desmogged it while I had it all apart.
Now it won’t start. I’ve got spark and fuel in the carb but it will not start. I’ve also got coolant leaking somewhere high up and behind the exhaust/intake manifold but can’t see exactly where.
At this point I’m frustrated and don’t have time to mess with it. My wild ass guess is that paying someone to fix it or put a motor in is going to cost several thousands of dollars. I’ve got a super clean truck that’s basically dead in the driveway and no idea what to do at this point.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
