Oh no. The oil debate.

It’s not a debate. It’s what we use. Comes with Zinc. Good. Designed for flat tappet motors. Good.

It’s what I’ve used for years, but not a debate is debatable. Loads of folks want to debate it.
I don’t.

Surprised to see the oil cooler and later thermostat housing. Another gorgeous motor though @FJ60Cam

Looks like it’s power steering time too.

 

[FJ60Cam]

I almost didn’t do the oil cooler, but these internals deserve it!

You use 20/50 to break in the motor and seat the rings?

 

[wngrog]

The force called.

I answered the call.

That motor is a thing of beauty.

Got my final parts in and did one more clearance on the header and stuck it all back together and went for a nice long ride this am

Had to program the speedo. The little brass tang that rides in the housing was spinning in the wire so I had to clamp on it a bit to make them talk.

I got back and started monkeying with the fuel gauge.

It was saying the fuel was open meaning no signal from the sending unit to the Dakota. I redid some grounding and it came to life.

I pull the sender out and did a manual cycle since none of the presets work with a Toyota sender on the Dakota.

Nolen, I know this is ancient history, but where did the bezel keyring come from? I want five.
