Hello!
I picked up a 76 fj55 that was DOA and am resurrecting it from the dead (hopefully). I went to do valve adjustment and things are pretty wonky—almost like there aren’t any lifters present (see photos). Major gaps between the rocker arm and pushrods on several of them!
Obviously it’s not starting and feels like there’s not enough compression when I turn the hand crank (normally you get some pretty good resistance and some hissing from the valves).
Any ideas? I haven’t pulled the side cover yet...
