Yeah, not a bad idea. I'll do that when I close out this thread.

Metal shavings in oil pan gasket = bad rod bearing(s)? Cheap fix, if there was no damage to the crank. Main crank bearing failure = full engine tear-down...
I understand that if the shavings are non-magnetic (tri-alloy, mostly aluminum) than it is quite likely the bearings, and nothing more serious, like piston metal or crank metal...
I'm not a man of faith, but I'm placing a few prayers...

While searching for parts, I found an ebay lisitng for a 2H rebuild kit (marketed for the forklift application):
eBay Motors: Toyota 2H Forklift engine rebuild kit diesel (item 350099187756 end time Oct-16-08 11:53:38 PDT)
So I called the guy up. 1-800-756-1114. Harold, knowledgabe and plenty nice. I'm not looking into a full rebuild and got a quote from him for rod bearings. Get this: a full set, in any of the 5 sizes (std., 010, 020, 030, and 040) is.....$29. The full set! I was speechless. We chatted and I got to asking about the full rebuild kit. He couldn't tell me where they were made but gave me the number of the place where they buy them wholesale: Wolf Engine Products; David, (706) 492-2068. Also cool.
The pistons are Taiwanese, but not laminated or coated, pure cast, JCC brand. There are cheaper kits, including from Neill at Roodogs4WDSpares (See: TOYOTA LANDCRUISER 2H ENGINE FULL REBUILD KIT - eBay, Other Car Parts, Accessories, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 20-Sep-08 08:18:45 AEST) note that $875 AUD = $694 USD (at least today).
4WheelAuto's kit: $1,500 Canadian ($1,390 US).
So, FL Cruiser, what's up with your brother's bad experience with his Taiwanese 2H rebuild kit?? David was perplexed when I asked about this issue.

You see dis? Just because you live in Mississippi is not an excuse for not reading... No rebuild, just the rod bearings...hopefully.

Saturday's update
DONE!:
* reinstalled the interior.
* got the windows all working properly, (except no power to pass. rear window.)
* modified indicator light panels for glow and filter.
* retapped and blue lock-tite'd the transfercase idler shaft retention tab bolt--should never back out again. Transfer case works as it should, we will see if it leaks later.
* serviced and rebuilt the knuckles, wheel bearings, inner axle seals and hubs. ALL DENNIS! The internals were nearly new (and are now are trail spares), but the inner axle seals were not installed correctly.
* pulled apart the starter motor and scrubbed the plunger and contacts. Should work well, we will see (battery needs a good long recharge).
* replaced the brake sending unit (the brake pedal switch).
* got the fuel level sending electric connected through the access panel.
Still left to do:
* need to replace rear wheel brake cylinders (the rest of the braking system looked great--recently serviced).
* install exhaust down tube once my gasket comes in.
* have the remainder of the exhaust made and installed.
* have a new a/c hose made using two exisiting hoses, convert the a/c system and refill with refrigerant.
* replace the fuel injection pump diaphragm and gasket.
* finish body work from when we smashed the asses of Tofu and the 40 together(!) and reinstall tail lamps.
* install stereo & xm.
* figure out why the headlights won't shut off w/out unplugging them.
* figure out why the one rear window is getting no power.
Once Tofu is home:
* install Sheila's windshield in a new chromeless weatherstrip. (Mauldin's Auto Glass)
* steam clean seats, door panels and headliner.
* Second Skin and Line-X flooring.
* during next oil change, replace the twin side cover gaskets.(B)
* install Sheila's speaker wire and speakers.
* install 3" lift springs and new bushings.
* finish black out and dechroming job.
* various comsetic improvements/customization.
* fab front bumper.
* paint job/Line-X exterior.

reset your window switches...found under the dash

Some detail to those instructions would be most helpful, oh surfer hippie of few words. BTW, Deo painted Velveeta lavender.

I think Al is talking about a circuit breaker on the driver side underneath the dash.
See this thread, linked in the FAQ.
I don't think this is the fault in your system, though. This CB kills all the locks in the system.

Cool. I posted there..we will see what the fellas think...
If not that, I wonder what else it could be. Note, direct power (via battery charger) makes it work just fine.
On a different note, the headlights (not the high beams) stay on even with the key off and removed. We had to unplug them. But for these two lingering things, all electrical wiring is perfect. Dennis' electrical expertise was precisely what this project needed.

I was trying to remember if it reset my locks or my windows....guess it was the locks.
But, I thought there was two there one for locks and one for windows ( I din't click the link)
Either way I am pretty sure all the power goes through the driver side switches so I would start there.

I'll do that. The diagram did indicate that the driver's side kick panel would be the place to explore...just odd that just one window is not getting power.
From Kurt (Cruiser Outfitters), I just ordered:
Energy Suspension Poly bushings (2 packs) = $65
Rear wheel brake cylinders (2) = $67

Oh, how Saturday whipped my ass, let me count the ways:
Well, let's start with the positive things, before I get into it...
Done/fixed:
* D got the rear passenger window working. It was unplugged to the harness behind the dash/kickpanel. Duh! Easy fix.
* I filled the tranny and transfercase with 90W. Both were dry. Expected that with the t-case, as it had been leaky due to the stripped idler shaft tab bolt hole, now fixed, but the tranny took about a half-gallon before it was topped off. Hmmm...
* D inspected the rear brake cylinder, which happily was fine (and now I have a spare set). The leak down the inside of the tire was just excess brake cleaner, apparently, no residue left. Great, checked that off the list.
* Dennis installed the stereo and xm, but despite sound from the speakers when you shut the vehicle off (Sony Xplode's familiar "beep beep beep" when you shut the car off), no sound whatsoever from the speakers when the ignition is on. Hmmm...OK, no biggie. I'll look for the mute button later. Can't find it now...Maybe mis-wired ???
* I installed the exhaust down tube and new flange gasket. Done.
* D sort of finished the right tail corner body work. It'll do for now.
* I phased the rear driveshaft correctly this time. Done.
* D bent the t-case linkage so that we could articulate it to reinstall it the shifter on its pivot bolt. Done. (?)
Minor set-backs:
* The starter is acting up again, but we didn't get to replace the contacts and plunger...will do later.
* Seems like the battery won't hold a charge (forget all my prior Exide Orbital recomendations). Not particularly cheap, but whatever...
OK, now to the "Let's see how much s*** Brian can take in one day, day"...
First of all, we lost the keys to Tofu, and I could swear I remember putting them in D's toolbox top drawer. Luckily, his spare key for his 40 works like a charm (ign and doors), though a bit tight. OHHHH KAYYYY....
Long day, a couple of busted knuckles (someday I'll learn not to wrap my hand around the wrench when taking the t-case oil plug off), so far, par for the course, nothing major. Hungry, but ok...
I pulled the tag from the Benz wagon, cleaned out the glove compartment, organized the papers, signed the title and handed D the keys, his payment for all this wrenching...
Put the tag on Tofu (feels really, really good). Drank a beer to fill my empty stomach..the last of my Yuenglings. Cleaned up, bullshat...looked at the list with virtually everything checked off...
Started the HJ (after a few hammer whacks to the starter, oh joy). Sounds good. The light at the end of the tunnel is here! Getting stoked...
Shift it...
uh, that's.....not.....right...
No 2nd, no 4th, no 5th, no R. Grinding when I disengage the clutch...
WTF!!!
Tired, spent, dirty, frustrated, hungry, its dark.
Did we somehow accidentally drop a bolt down the shifter hole???
Did the t-case linkage work somehow do this?
Did topping it off with 90W do something?
Did the shifter go back in with the selector fork misaligned??? Hard to tell with the tranny cover (not to mention access panel) on.
This tranny worked perfectly for 6 months after it was installed (new) before Sheila was taken off the road...never did a single thing to it or the t-case (other than the linkage and refill with oil).
WHAT THE Fxxx!!! WHY ME???
After ~30 minutes of jostling, cursing and shoving, I gave up, paced around and stared off into space, depressed, tried not to whine too much, said "later" and drove off...in the Benz, and almost forgot to swap the tag back.
I drove for 40 minutes. No radio--just yanked out for the wife's DD... That's OK...the radio stations suck anyhow...
stopped in Micanopy and put $10 in the tank, cuz I was deep in E territory.
4 miles later...
Hey now, what's that sound? Is that a ticking? IP? Oooh, it's getting louder, and it is not a familiar sound, now it is a loud rattle. Oil pressure gauge...dropping....uh, oh!....decelerate....BANG! Rattle, rattle, ratte. OH BLODDY HELL! I THREW A ROD?!? Sounded like chains and a few hammers in the engine block. Burnt oil smell permeates the cab. I pop the hood, get out in PITCH BLACK DARKNESS at 10:00pm, in the middle of nowhere 4 miles from the Micanopy I-75 exit (and 3 from the first Gainesville exit), in the middle of an 18,000 acre wet prairie (Payne's Prairie), in FLORIDA. Mosquitoes descend on me like starving flies on a steaming pile of dog s*** (which is how I felt). I look at the engine bay...nothing strange looking, from what I am able to see...Jump back in the car to escape the vampire bugs.
I call a wrecker, who fortunately took merely 15 minutes. I didn't say boo other than "hey, please take me to____." I just sat there on the ride home, half slumped over, 'cuz I knew if I got started...
The driver saw from my face that a conversation was totally out of the question.
I call Mel Lowe to tell him...
He tells me that Noah (in Beef Barley guise) put out a chat thread entitled "See what Sheila's been up to.." with a link to my profile page where he posted some homosexual photos (now gone, don't bother looking). Yeah, I needed that...c'mon, bring it on, I need more bull**** today. "Please Sir, can I have some more?"
I slinked in the front door (kids and wife sleeping). Drank two beers in the shower, degreased myself (literally, not a pun for jerkin' the gerkin, I was NOT in the mood). I began to settle down...
Crawled into bed, right into a big pile of PUKE!!! My daughter had barfed in my bed from being ill for the past few days, and said nothing. 2nd quick shower, change of sheets, and passed out.
Story over. Fxxxing Cruiser gods got together with the Benz Gods and decided to bend me over the sink...

Sorry for your troubles, man, but at least it gave someone a good laugh... (occasional grimace, too)... Kinda the cruiser/benz version of slipping on a banana peel.
It'll get better. It has to! It's amazing what a good nights rest and a clear head will do.
