Wait ! Nope I mother truckin blew it! My inch torque wrench only goes to 120 inch lbs . I backed it off the lowest setting hoping it would give me 60 inch lbs. nope! Pissed! I guess I will be ordering a new one of these.

 

[broth9640]

Thermo housing bolted back up.

Almost to pretty to start up and get dirty

 

[broth9640]

Naaahhh! What would be the point of that? It's looking like this might be my daily driver.

 

[KY Longhunter]

Broth...slow down! your moving to fast for me...

 

[DanS HJ-45]

You are positively flying through this bud!

You will possibly get this truck driving before I get the head back on the 40! No joke.

Awesome work! Subscribed.

 

[broth9640]

Dan I highly doubt I will beat you to the road. What's holding you up? Still waiting on those precups? My build seems to be going at light speed compared to this time last year when I was deep into body work. Now it's all clean parts and I can see the finish line getting closer. My hope is to be on the road by August.

Yep. Precups arrive, then a day or two at the machine shop, followed by a day to put it back together. That's the plan at least.

....so you're planning to have it ready for the 40s only run then?? .

40's only run? When and where is that? I guess I will have to scratch it sometime

The day after the Rising Sun Rally. We took the 40 last year, no scratches. It's generally a mild enough trail for a completely stock ball and claw 40 to make it. Good times!

Just ready through this and watched your video

Looks awesome! I am in if I can slap this puppy together in time. $$$$ will be the key factor

 

[broth9640]

I got the timing cover back on with new seals and new bolts! I also replaced the side cover gasket since I over torqued it the first time .

 

[broth9640]

Crank shaft pulley installed. It called for over 250 foot lbs of torque! So I tightened it as much as possible and staked the nut. Once it's in the vehicle I will try a little body weight with the breaker bar to make sure it's as snug as possible .

 

[broth9640]

Pick up a new premium clutch kit from napa today. Not a bad price. 230.00 out the door and includes pilot and throw out bearing. Toyota wanted almost the same for just the pressure plate . Planning on getting this installed tomorrow

 

[zags]

looks great! Bolting the clean shiny stuff back together is definitely the best part!

 

[broth9640]

Engine installed! The last picture is of the aft drivers side engine mount. Somehow I managed to miss this when I did all my sandblasting and painting. So I had to take a break and clean and paint before I can be totally done with the engine install. New mounts took a bit to figure out since they were the new mount style instead of the old. Came out great. Clutch tomorrow along with tranny and transfer case cleanup . Then rebuild the parking brake . We'll see how far I get .

I show that torque is 144 foot lbs on Crank Shaft Pulley, per FSM.

How did you torque it without everything moving? I suppose it takes 2 people...

 

[broth9640]

Sweet thanks for posting that. I thought that number seemed a bit high. I got my value from the FAQ torque guide.



Beer me.

Max Ellery’s Land Cruiser Repair Manual 1969-1990 (FJ & RJ)
