So I traded a triumph motorcycle for a busted 93 FJZ80... I am not a mechanic... I did this because my brother-in-law offered to repair the vehicle. Long story short he disappeared on me.
The official story from the seller is that he bought the vehicle from a guy who said he blew a head gasket. The guy, lets call him Mr. Break Everything, removed the head and sent the head off to be machined. The head came back machined. (confirmed) He then sold it to the guy that sold it to me. My guy, Mr. Seller, said his initial plan was to do an LS swap, but found a 100 later and decided to sell the FJ80. This is where I come in.
I received a cargo bay full of mostly trashed parts. Nothing is labeled, multiple things were broken. The FJ80 is generally all around trashed, Mr. Breaks Everything really earned his name with how he treated the vehicle.
Now, if you are familiar with the phrase "Doesn't know their a** from a hole in the ground" I know the difference between my a**, and a hole in the ground, but that's about it. Over the past several weeks (I'm an industrial engineering student so I'm broke on time) I'm been piecing this rig back together. Using some old parts, some new, new gaskets ect. I'm mostly finished by this point, with assembly of the parts I'm not missing at least. I'm not ready for a startup yet as I'm still missing some bolts and I'm going to have to extract at least one broken valve cover bolt. I cannot for the life of me figure out where the hose in this attached picture goes. I can't find it on any diagram I've been able to find on the internet and the only complete FSM I've been able to get my hands on is for the emission control system. So can someone for the love of all things holy take mercy on me and tell me where this hose goes??
And if anyone is able to point me to a detailed repair manual I would greatly appreciate it. I have access to Prodemand, but it hasn't been of particular help.
