RC Engineering for the injectors
Nice work!
finally got over to RC to pick up my clean injectors!
looks clean....aside from the rust. are you sure this is a HG issue?
HG alright
nasty
cleaned up pretty well
anything looks unusual? TIA
You have inspired me to do some spring cleaning!
I’ll start soon with the valve gasket then down to the main crank seal and oil pump seal. Priority’s not emergency’s. Should get into the manifold as well, lots of them tiny hoses should be changed out. And lots more...I wish this was my full time job.
Today I just refreshed the wax job to prevent sunburn this summer, almost to shiny for a cruiser.
Thanks for sharing pics.

HARDGEAR Thanks for the kind words. I’m just returning the favor to the mudders/this forum for inspiring me to take on this project in the first place.
I too wish I had the resources, space, tools and time to make this my full time pastime.
Obviously not my DD but I got the Cruisers late Jan/early Feb and barely made progress. Keep Cruising!

I think it’s great that your doing the right things to these cruisers.
This is what it takes to keep them running perfectly happy, so these trucks make us happy.
My 80 is my 3rd vehicle, try to save mileage and wear for the big trips.
Plus I’m always working on some improvement.
Recently my wife started hunting for a grey 100 , that makes me very happy!
Cruise on bro.

These 80s are our 3rd. Had a 91 (long story) sold back in 2015. Back on the saddle as they say.
The 100 I used to tow the 80s from Nevada is my wife’s dark blue 2004. Convinced her to upgrade her Highlander to a Land Cruiser and been happy ever since.
I just love the timeless look of the 80.
