when you stat the engine, pull the valve cover so you can visually see oil coming up out of the rockers.
Reassembly order? In what order did you put things back?

Wondering what my next vehicle will be...
I know you probably won't, but feel free to call me for help any time. The offer still stands.
I seem to end up taking things in and out, and in and out numerous times, so order matters less!! LOL (i.e. be willing to move back if your not liking what you see)

@airon23 @JDNs78FJ40 - are you done yet? I'm getting close.
yeah I did finish mine up, although it's nothing like how nice yours ended up. I must have buggered up a gasket or 2 because it still leaks some which was quite the bummer but it's been up and running for a little while and I've gotten to enjoy it which is the fun part. It's by no means a show piece like yours will certainly be, but it was much about, like you said, the journey of fixing it up and refreshing a lot, and now it will continue hopefully for a long time to come. I really like the electronic power steering as that is going to be my next project for sure. You'll have to let me know what your thoughts are on that. BTW, I was very pleased with the vintage AC unit, I think you will be too.
Check out the link in my signature line for my FJ40 refresh and how it ended up.

Awesome job for "finishing" it enough to drive it (that's all we really do, right?)!
I'm not trying to make a show piece, I'm just enjoying learning. If I started it all over again with the knowledge I have now, I'd go so slow I'd never finish! Holy h3ll please don't make me do all this again!
