Got my first fj60 (2 Viewers)

[fijianfj60]

hey what’s up mud , I just picked up my 1st fj60 1987 with a locked up 2f with no oil showing on the dip stick I decided to drop the oil pan and found that the #3 rod bearing had spun manage to pull the bearing off the rod journal and inspected the crank looks like it’s going to need to be a machined so I decided to remove the engine and I’m going to do a complete rebuild got a couple of questions for the 2f gurus on here

1 anybody got any recommendations on a good machine shop that deals with 2f engines in the Los Angeles area ?
2 what’s a good place to find engine parts every place that I’ve been looking at says Parts not available

Welcome to the club (official greeting).

I can’t advise on a shop, but I can recommend Valley Hybrids and Cruiser Outfitters for parts. Both are vendors here and excellent.

Good luck!

Sweet thank you sir

Glad to help.

I've bought from both vendors, and both are excellent. Let them know what you need and they will either track it down for you (if it's not in stock), or point you in the right direction.

 

[Old Nick]

Sweet thank you sir

The other thing that is obligatory is at least one pic of your new truck. Show us what you got!

OK folks got some updates, tore the engine block down inspected all six holes, and found that all six of them are past Toyota specifications and rod journals three and four are wasted also during the teardown, I ended up snapping two of the air rail fittings ******* gorilla put them things on.
Now to the good news ended up finding a machine shop local to me it’s called l and r Engine’s talk to Mr. Larkin over there, and he seemed very knowledgeable on the 2F engine platform also found a company called itm which has Pistons and bearings plan is to drop the engine block, crankshaft cylinder head camshaft intake, and exhaust manifolds over to the machine shop this week

Yah that’s the number I have been calling maybe he’s on vacation or something

OK guys I got some updates, finally got the call from the machine shop saying that they have had a roadblock. My block needs to be bored 30 over and they can’t seem to find any pistons that size. They also can’t find rod and main bearings .10 under and they also need cam bearings and a cam gear

Does anybody have any leads where I can find these parts at? Thanks in advance.
