Replacing FJ60 2F Head Gasket- Timelapse!

[@maxszidon8240]

I have a Fj60 in the same color! 16 years old and I daily one of those. Not the fastest but my god is it fun to drive! Also a great choice of music for the back round. The cherry on top.

Did I just see you do a quick attempt at placing the head on the block without the crane? I got a kick out of that. About to do this on my 3FE, I probably didn't need to take out the water outlet assembly, nicely done.

Lol it would’ve been possible but wanted that precise location on the gasket and minimal sliding around

[@moumou529]

Great work! I also want to try, I love the 2F, but I want the 5th speed

Nice truck 👍

[@nolinol]

How much would you charge labor hours for that kind of job to others?

[@alighaus4127]

Hi did shaving the head help with performance?

[@doublewrench69]

Hi, I wish I could give you a definitive answer, but I bought it with no engine and did the head shave before install, haven’t driven one with stock compression. I’m still tuning it but it feels peppy.

[@alighaus4127]

Great job at what your doing not too many have videos on these

[@doublewrench69]

Ali Ghaus Thanks! Have some more cool old Toyota stuff coming. Just put an OME lift on this 60 :)

[@alighaus4127]

Great! I was gonna lift my 60 also.

[@nikodemjedrzejewski8289]

Why did you think you needed to replace the HG? smoke? no power?

[@doublewrench69]

It wasn’t bad enough to the point of smoking, but it was the stage before that. Compression was leaking into the cooling system. Once cooling system pressure overcomes compression it would start smoking, but I knew it was just bad from when I initially installed. Haven’t had issues since, knock on wood!

Dude, I need to send you my Fj60

You need yourself a rolling cart. Will save you so much time instead of walking back and forth.
