Ok, Wasted today, waiting for a machine shop to be open, but pulled engine back out on Friday, pulled off bell housing, pulled out clutch, etc etc and found the crushed aluminum in the adapter bushing. Fortunatly the pilot bearing is ok. I think it looks like 1/8 or 3/16ths crushed so I am going to mill out 1/4". See pic
Now I did spend some time reviewing what I have to do after we bolt it up, weld in the new Motor mounts (the attachment to the frame) and bash in the firewall just a bit more for the oil filter - any good ideas on how to relocate this? DO I have to fab a plate to go on the engine or does it just look dangerous back there?
After engine on I need to modify the linkage to be a cable throttle, I think we have a good solution which will involve U channel bolted to the linkage location that ties to the Cruise control (Seeing as how I am going to abandon the cruise in favor of a throttle lock.
Sensors -
-Speed - toyota and still attached
-Fuel - still in tank, but need to drop and empty remainder of gas -2-3 gal. ALso need to pull filler neck and tap out for Diesel fill spout
(Note: I do not believe I have an in tank fuel pump on the 85 FJ60. There is a return line, so I am not planning any other exploratory surgery in the tank.)
- Battery- will hook up to mounting block from the om617 that I am moving over.
- Coolant - I believe this is straight forward, though one post I read said I would need to drill and tap in the sensor from the 2F motor.
- Oil Pressure - I believe I can get an adapter for the oil sensor from the 2F motor (anyone know what I need here?) and seat it into the tube from the Merc (Need to find the oil tube still).
- Tach - Currently I do not have a solution. I have the wiring from the om617, but no idea how to get it to work on the FJ60. Thoughts? Can I replace the factory FJ60 tach in the dash with one of similar size? Should I use that as a Turbo boost or exhaust temp cluster? Ideas please
I am sure there is more, like fixing the stereo. and Oh how I wish I had an H55F trans instead of this 4 speed, but too much $$$.
Keep smiling ask on pics if you need.
