Mag's poor man 1HD-FTE dream. (6 Viewers)

My trouble comes when I get pulled out of town for work. Instantly derails the project, and then I have to get back into it, refresh my memory on what choices I was making and why, question every single one of them, so on... If I could just figure out how to get paid to work on my own projects, I'd be so productive.

Oh yeah that's another challenge all together. My documentation would never be good enough for that lol.

Lookinf at the length differences, 100 series on the outside, 80 on the inside, speculated about trying to use them. Rear 100 is longer, front 100 is shorter, which is what id need for the manual swap.

then I looked at the u-joint size difference on the rear shaft. 80 shaft is noticeably larger.

Tom Woods is probably my route, but I wanted to share just because.

 

[Mag71k5]

Fingers crossed brothers.

 

[Mag71k5]

No metal. Phew.

How thoughtful of toyota to leave this access hole.

 

[Mag71k5]

All fluids are drained

Engine is ready to pull, only thing holding it up are four bolts holding the transmission/transfercase crossmember.

Ill take those out when I have a jack under it and we're actively pulling it out.

Maybe tonight.

 

[MooseMichaels]

Let’s go!!!! Can’t wait to see this thing going in

Back40imports got back to me, transmission kit is shipping Monday. Hoping to have it Wednesday, and the engine in the lx450/80 same day.

the 80 shafts can be either shortened or retubed longer pretty easy and cheaply by a driveshaft shop. the 100 shafts can't without a bunch of extra machine work because they're fused, not welded. nothing against tom woods but reworked OEM would be my pick.

Ill call around to some local shops, there's a few in Denver.

So much more room for activities. Dont be sad, this body is toast, and the heart will live on.

Timing cover area leak?

 

[Mag71k5]

Timing belt looks good to me. Opinions are welcome.

 

[Beach80]

Just a thought, do your valve shim adjustment. Almost all of mine were out of tolerance with 135,000 miles on my 1hdt.

You have pulled it apart this far, replace it and idler pulley ect. I did my waterpump too.

 

[ikarus]

Yeah it does look good but it's so nice working on all that stuff when you're not in a crowded engine bay. I'd say do it all now and be good for 100K miles

 

[Mag71k5]

Good points,

Today's battle, has been a victory, and let me tell you... it was a ****ing battle..

dont ask about the jack.... or the flipflops

As someone who wear steel toed boots much of the time, I'm pretty bad about wearing sandals whenever I'm not being paid, so no judgement here. You do tend to get funny looks from people, using a cutting torch in shorts and sandals though

Haha, I only had a few hot peices of metal hit my feet from the cut off wheel action.
