First thing a did was put tires on because the original ones had cracks on the side walls. Went with 285/75

Has a CEL for the EGR, so that's going to need to be addressed, temp gauge is not looking so good.

I didn't understand what you meant
Just joking, Partsouq is a big OEM parts warehouse in Dubai where I buy most of my parts.

I know Partsouq but I didn't know that you were joking

Man, where do you find all these engines!?
Lots of wasting time with people that want 2500 for a blown motor. They usually come around when they realize I’m the only idiot buying clapped out blown up 1fz motors around. I drive a lot also all of Oregon and Washington. I also get motors back from customers that I sell engines to.
 
Waiting on my blue hub fan clutch and I decided to change the fluid in my old unit before I bin it (I have a few 65mi all highway drives over the next week) The two halves were held together with some T-25 Torx, in the videos I watched they were philips/JIS. Is this a cheapo clutch from the PO? 99% of my rig was original when I got it - at 197k miles I’d be surprised to see both an OEM clutch replaced and also have the aftermarket fail.

Realizing I dumped thick silicone into the original-style clutch lol am I screwed if I drive this thing? Stayed locked up for the 5-10 minutes I ran the car after putting it all back together. Hit 160° on the OBD scanner I think
 
Good morning! While I have the engine out I’m replacing anything that needs it and is now very easy to get to. I’m definitely a “while you’re in there” kinda guy and no better time than the present while waiting for the engine to be rebuilt. FYI to anyone that hasn’t changed out their steering box, I’d suggest getting the U-joint that couples the shaft to the box. Mine is quite tired and wasn’t that easy to remove even w/ the engine out.

Got a part # on the U-Joint?
 
@lexustruck

I think that's the original Eaton clutch. If the temp spring / adjustment shaft are in working order then it's a good clutch and can be serviced and used with good results. You can read up on the forum the find info from others on the fill amount they used/etc.

My guess is that you may have overfilled it and not that the oil is too thick but I could be wrong on that. I'd drive it a bit more before going back into it but wouldn't hesitate to pull it off and do the service again if it never disengages. These become really easy to pull/service once you get used to doing it.
 
DIY Blast or did you take it somewhere? I've been looking for a good sandblaster for DIY
Harbor freight 20lb pot blaster, 80 gal compressor, mixed use of Al oxide and coal slag.
Ditch the stock nozzle and pick up a deadman style. I bought a $25 one off amazon.
Took me 8 hours to do the first one fiddling with the setup. The second one took ~2-3.
Slow, dirty and would honesly pay someone next time I think.

I set up in a truck bed with tarps to catch a lot of the media and I screened and reused it a bunch.
