like your attitude! heard the chuckle when you found the razor blade on top of the head gasket. Challenges! Just smile and keep moving. This build is actually for pleasure right. If it was easy everybody would be doing it.
I feel bad for you that this has happened…but I enjoy your work enough that I extend the time sitting up watching your series that I slow the high speed parts down to .25x and watch it almost in real-time…..
...just make sure the ring gaps are not near that gaul mark. Oh, and a tip for cleaning carbon from ring grooves (if you don't already know) take one of the compression rings and crack it in half and use the 'finished' end as a scraper to remove carbon, just be careful as they get sharp and can cut fingers...
Looks like a fresh rebuild gone bad. Am I wrong? Definitely try the home if it was mine. I had a fresh rebuild break the replacement crank. Took it down. Honed it. New rings and berrings( they came with the crank) and we shall see.
...ouch, doesn't look good - get the micrometers and telescoping gauges out and see how deep the scratch is... I'm guessing it is fairly deep, maybe .010". It may clean up 'close enough' and still burn less oil than a 2013 Subaru Boxer engine, but I'm thinking you might be naming your truck "Smokey". ua-cam.com/video/hRkS0CeqKGc/v-deo.html ...personally, I would do a tear down of it with the goal of just honing, replacing rings, bearings, etc. In the words of my late dad "it's no good the way it is" - you could have it completely torn and back together in two episodes. Then, you could just drive it while you are waiting for the 2F engine to show up. A few hundred bucks for parts.

Been watching your FJ40 restoration since part 1 since I'm also doing a restoration myself but it's a BJ40 diesel. :D
On the bright side the bearing caps look good definitely could be rebuilt
I would like to see you you rebuild it. But it’s your money, either way I will watch and learn. Thanks
You making a video...would love to see the diesel
Opps wrong guy that was meant for P.I Vlog...sorry

Hey what exhaust did you use for this? I am about to throw a 2f with a header like the one on yours back in my fj40. Swaping a sbc out.
I just used the muffler that came on the truck, I’m not sure what brand it is.
Why didn't you break down the motor before painting it and putting the head back on especially after seeing you had stuck values
