Breaking In The Land Cruiser's New Engine and Fixing Broken Parts Already!?

- Today on the 80 Series Land Cruiser build/restoration, we wrap up some loose ends after the engine rebuild! The transmission cooler and radiator hoses were leaking, and the spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor needed to be replaced! Lastly, we needed to set the timing on this engine, and after that we took it for a long test drive to a lake!

Are you planning on doing a full refurbishment of the bushings and body mounts? I know they improve the handling a heck of a lot especially at 20 off years of road use.
Oh yeah!
I'm just starting that journey on my 1995 and after having done just 1 of the front control arms, the difference is amazing.
It's good to see Im not the only old school Toyota fiend out there...If you know, you know....
Yup! Something special about these old Toyotas.
You think they are old until you get into 55s or 40s
i had the same thing happen to me with the grommet. you are not alone brother!!
Thank you for showing the timing light gun use, valuable information. Thank you for posting.
Looking good bro. We need some hood struts added to the list too.
Haha yep! The list is long!
Having replaced my PVC prior to this video, I totally laughed my arse off as soon as you dove In 😂
Haha thing was hard as a rock!
Man those pcvs are a pain it was difficult getting mine off with my rocker cover off 😂🤦🏼♂️
Awesome stuff! nice to see you Cruisin
Thanks Lee!!
i haven't seen in the comments if noticed any 'pep' after the rebuild, have you noticed? i have a 240k motors with very low compression and wondered what the improvement after a rebuild would be. thanks!
Hey Jeff, thanks! I have to be honest, I didn't get to drive it much before the rebuild so I don't have much to compare it to. My motor did have great compression before the rebuild so I'm sure I didn't gain much. However, if you have low compression I would bet that you'd see quite the improvement with a rebuilt engine.
I had the exact same experience with my PCV replacement on my 94….
With the crusty grommet or with them giving you the wrong part?
Little late to the party on this; great work. Did you piece together your own bits for the bottom end or go with a kit?
Just pieced together honestly without any rhyme or reason. Found ACL race rod bearings for cheap on eBay, and the machine shop had the mains. Clearances were perfect so I went with it.
That's the fastest 20miles l have ever seen. Must be a fast motor 😅
Hi mate did you replace that big O ring that goes around the Dizzy cap to keep the dust and water out also your steering damper looks like it’s on the wrong way mine is on the other way so water doesn’t sit inside the damper
Glad to see im not the only one sitting in my garage measuring my trans cooler hose lines 🤣😭
Did you happen to move to the PNW? Your area looks a lot like eastern WA/OR.
Idaho!
Where in CA did you move from? Does ID require smog/emission testing? If not, you’ll be able to remove that whole PAIR system like I did on my 94 when I moved from CA to TN.
Fresno. ID does not require any smog or emissions testing at all, PAIR system is gone already. 😀
@@RM_Garage awesome! It makes the engine bay look so much cleaner!
Interesting choice to skimp on about $200 worth of hoses and clamps after all that work on the engine.
Fixed now! It was because of the rush with the move. I had to get it running and on a trailer by a certain date and didn't have time.
@@RM_GarageGotcha - looks like a fun project. Good luck with the rest of it.
Nice !!!! Just wondering is you are going to put a block heater on your motor now that you are going to be in colder conditions. Thanks for sharing
I'm not sure!
Hi! How much cost a radiator in USA?
Curious as to why OEM parts were not used for the trans cooler and cooling system? Aftermarket parts are reaching prices of OEM parts these and in some cases are more expensive than OEM. Also hoses are molderd in the correct manner. Solid build!
I tried. Unobtanium for the hoses. I used the flexi coil thing to bend them in the right way. Did what I could
As far as radiator hoses, IMO just a hose. Gates makes great hoses. No issues with aftermarket wires or ignition components as of yet. Will replace with OEM if any issues arise but thinking it’ll be fjne
You didnt mention the difference the t-case regearing has made power wise. How does it drive with the large tires? Do you feel it needs the axles regeared as well? Ive been thinking about doing the t-case regearing on mine. Currently on 33's but id like to go to 35's or 37's
The t-case gearing makes no difference power wise because it's just the low-range gear. In low-range it is much more controllable due to the lower gearing. In normal driving, it's the same.
As far as power with the 38's, it could use a re-gear of course. However, I also come from a pickup with a 90hp 22RE and 37s so even with the stock gears and 38's, this 1FZ has way more power and get-up-and-go than the 22RE had with 5.29 gears.
In the future I plan to go to 4.88s.
@RM_Garage ok from what it looked like i thought you changed out the high gearing along with the low gearing.
Silicone spray for houses is your friend...they Will fit in 10 seconds
I had some silgylde I was going to use but I couldn't find it in the moving boxes. Lol
Idaho? Where? N,S,E,W? Home is in SE.
SW!
Get a plastic putty knife. I just watched you scratch your valve cover with a flat head screwdriver and it made me cringe.😢
