Saudi FJ75 - Is This Normal? (1 Viewer)

[lelandEOD]

Why is the camshaft peering at me through the oil pan? That's not normal, right?

 

[lelandEOD]

Peekaboo!

It ain’t easy to kill an F motor this bad. Props to my buddy who was driving.

I’ve gotta say though, I’m super impressed this little leaf was just chilling behind the pushrod cover. Looks like an original Saudi olive tree leaf from Al-Jouf. Amazing.

What camel broke that straw’s back?

Not sure; at the moment I’m blaming everything on the leaf.

This probably didn’t help matters:

… And that, boys and girls, is why you don’t run tapwater in lieu of coolant.

I don’t care for F motors. When I heard it grenaded, I smiled a bit.

We have a freshly deivered HZJ76 frame just for this FJ75 anyway. So diesel swap it is!

I know what's wrong with it.
It's out of gas!
