Well, here it is. I spun some rod bearings on my F motor. Its a late F out of a 12/74 FJ55. I know replacing just the bearings is not recomended but I may do it to just get around. I have done a lot of searching and even pm'd some people here to get some advice but I am now asking all of you. Are there some 2F's that would be better than others? What works best with the F head for higher compression? I would like to stick with the straight 6 for ease because this is a DD and I would like to get it back on the road soon. There are flat and domed pistons, will they both work with this head? A good used motor that I can "freshen up" would be ideal.
I do have sources for some f's but would like to get a little more power. Many years ago I rebuilt a 2f in my 78 FJ40 and was happy with the power. This rig is not a hard core trail beater but does see some lighter trails.
I know this thread has been done before and I have looked through them but I would really like to hear what you guys have to say. My wife is loosing faith in the old pig.
Thanks
