Finish up the headgasket last night with Rick Jack and Nate:clap: truck is running great now no more worrying about the damn head-gasket not i can enjoy the truck


so apparently the 1FZ-FE engine will run with:

rear left water galley on the #2 cylinder holds $.26 if you use pennies
rear front water galley on the #5 cylinder holds $.15 in nickles
every oil passage except those on the #6 will hold $.50 in quarters if you roll them right.

bets on longevity are being marked at 4-1, any takers?

its a Toyota lc it will just chew that crap up and spit it out the tail pipe hopefully your driveling behind me when it does this, now that would be a good laugh :flipoff2:
 
Sweet!



Pics or it didin't happen.

It happened! Started putting things back together
today. Need to get the pitman arm off, weld up the hole and
take it and the TRE to the machinist and have him ream the correct
taper. Finish the steering shaft, have to find a bearing and another u-joint.
Then have my spare driveshaft lengthened and it will be drivable
again.

well the first round of stupidity came down from the national service manager

We use our cars for company travel and get reimbursed at 58.5 cents per mile.

Now someone built a calculator to evaluate when renting a car and paying gas is cheaper than driving the personal car.

I plugged in the numbers and the distance that you hit the magic $20,00 mark ( the amount of savings that requires you to rent) is around 500 miles. So on those weeks were I'm supposed to service someone a long ways away I'm first supposed to go and rent a car. Basically I will be doing that and driving both Monday and Friday which impacts the number of calls I can do in a week or work over time to get the car thing done with out impacting productivity.

The kicker is that the customers pay for travel and living expenses so all this won't save us anything.

man those damn pencil pushers suck, there always trying to fix whats not broken
 
welds look good lane
 
Looks good Lane! What TRE are you using?

Not sure, the rods are BudBuilt and one uses 40 TRE's and the other uses 80's.
I think the one I have to deal with is from the 40.

40 ends are smaller than 60 ends. Cruiserparts has a bushing to mate the 2 together
 
Is the bushing the same you would used to sleeve the 40 steering arms. If so I have a couple of the brass starter bushings that I used when I converted to 60 series knuckles. Now aren't 60 series tie rod ends the same taper as the 80's its just the threaded part is beefier?

The problem is that the hole in the pitman arm isn't tapered at all, I do have the
shims in my steering arms. They are nice, hardend steel. I tried using the brass
bushings before but they wore and it caused a lot of slop in the steering.
 
Not sure if this is a repost but this site is super-wicked-awesome as they say in my 'hood....

every part number for every toyota vehicle ever made done by VIN number
 
That's a good point. I had an argument with a toyota dealer parts dept cuz they kept asking me the VIN for my old 40 and I told them they didn't need it to look it up. They hung up on me.

40's do have VIN/serial numbers but they aren't the same length as the modern VIN numbers.

I did try it out for a BJ40 and it pulled everything up with "estimated" prices from the dealers.
 
I tried 1971 fj55 without vin# and was able to get all the way down to individual parts. Does anyone know where the $$$ for some parts came from. They look low.
