Where did you get the head gasket on your block?
Not sure (please check it)
but the head from 1.5F has the same holes as 2f. I just use a 2f gasket for the 76.
Also PO used same type of gasket, and I assume he is drive it.
check info here:

edit: I find old gasket kit (no Toyota) on e-bay, it made in Japan.

I find an old gasket kit (no Toyota) on eBay, it made in Japan.

Definitely not Toyota. Cheap Stone gasket by the look of it.
I start work on the engine just in the first year of my Fj40 project.
After spending 3 years on this project ... I have learned a lot.
If you ask me now,... I will only buy from Toyota or a local vendor who has a reputation here.
I don't want to redo it in the near future...

Love the thread @FJ40Jim
Well you can figure out half the puzzle if you look at the cylinder head number cast into the head. What is yours?

61030

I pulled the head. It’s a 61030 with domed pistons. TBD if the head is good (no cracks) or if the block is going to need to be bored. I was just trying to understand the options if the block did need to be bored given that the domed pistons in a O/S are NLA to my knowledge.

It’s a 61030. I need to get the head cleaned and checked for cracks. It’s pretty corroded. The end freeze plug was totally rusted through.
The pistons (100) don’t look bad. The cylinder walls have some surface rust but no signs of pitting, and no significant ring ridges that I can detect.
I guess a machinist will be able to tell me if I can reuse the pistons and hone the cylinders, or if I have to look at other options.
