This is the best videos thank you so much. Between the factory service manual Joey's poster in your videos I'm just completely covered for this engine build. Thanks again 🍻

Best video of land cruiser on KZread , really informative I am learning from your videos man thanks for teaching us . .. 👍👌💪

great video!

After hearing the horror stories about this particular process, it looks more like a labor of patience and care, I'm no expert but I can do most thing as long as I have a shop manual or a clear guide like this series of vids, this was the thing holding me back from a 80 series, guess I should look for one now!

It really is just a whole lot of steps. I also don't think the 1fz blows head gaskets as often as the Internet makes it seem. Over the last 15 years I've only done a handful that we're actually popped.

Wonderful; makes me "think" I can do my own.... I like the composition and lighting of the videos. If you can manually adjust your aperture, you should. With enough lighting you should use a higher aperture (like f: 11 to 16) for a greater depth of field; then, turn off auto-focus. This works best for stationary cameras as you have here and a subject that doesn't move too much either. Keep it up, love the videos.

Awesome video Ryan! I had a radiator boil over into reservoir above 6000 ft a few weeks ago on a trip with the family. I thought for sure head gasket but I sent my oil into Blackstone zero water and zero coolant in oil. Also amazing compression and block tested, she stayed bright blue. Then I though maybe climbing the hills outside of Tahoe on 80 pushed gasses into coolant but the block tester showed no gas in the coolant. Any thoughts on this? After this event I noticed a tiny bit of coolant on the freeze plug above the block drain and upon cleaning a tiny hairline crack below the freeze plug. Man..... Right? Bad radiator cap caused high pressure and a tiny bit of coolant squeezed out? Starting to fail head gasket and only acted up under heavy load climbing hills on the highway at high rpm? so my question is I'm thinking about doing the head gasket as a preventative item. I've owned this 1997 fzj80 for 1 year I put about 250 hours into her and she's a Wheeling machine / daily driver. My question is what would have caused the boil over into radiator reservoir at altitude? I ran this by Joey and that resulted in ordering a new radiator cap from him. I see on mud that stress crack is common and sometimes they do nothing and go nowhere. Thanks for any input I'm thinking about just ordering a factory short and sticking it in the garage until the time comes. I just don't want to be with the family in the middle of nowhere. Since the event at altitude zero coolant has leaked and everything seems normal

@OTRAMM

3 жыл бұрын

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure things boil more easily at altitude. The radiator cap "should" hold constant pressure in the system but if it was bad maybe the altitude was the cause. If it's been fine since and no loss of coolant I'd just change the cap and see how it does.

Most of the time we use a factory gasket for ease of use. We use the Cometic gasket on turbo and supercharged trucks for some extra security. There are more machining rules to follow when using the metal gaskets. There's more to check surface finish wise to make sure they seal well.

The machine shop checks valve sealing for us. Out of the dozens of heads we've done, only one needed valve work. And that was due to improper shimming on a prior repair. They also change the valve stem seals for us since they've got a more efficient machine fur them.

Tried this on my dad's 100 series with the same engine (without a distributor) think we reinstalled the cams incorrectly (180 degrees out). Is our only option removal and reinstallation? The car struggles to start, if at all, but runs perfectly once it does. Thanks!

Great videos as always Ryan. It's probably just me...but in the videos with respect to the cams, I am sometimes confused about the 'dots' on the cams and terminology. There are single and double 'dots' on each cam which presents no problem when discussing a single cam. But when mated...I'm not always sure if you are saying 'two dots' (to mean two separate single dots) or the double dots. I do have the FSM and can consult it. But thought I'd mention this in case others find it unclear. Then again, it might just be me. Thanks again for the great information and instruction.

That 1/4 turn is likely quite a bit of extra torque. While you aren't too far in to reassembly, I'd probably pull the head back off and replace the gasket just in case it over compressed. I doubt you cracked the head but it probably wouldn't hurt to have it checked.
