Can a HJ60 4 speed go on the back of a FJ60 motor that had a 5 speed?

My motors toast and have given up trying. A good deal has come along for a nice FJ with stuffed box and a body 100 times better then mine.

Thanks for that. I'll try see if knowing the order helps me figure out when to set the valves. I'm not full bottle on what happens inside the engine but I have been setting them valves up rods down, I'm just not using the right terminology.

My POS crank pulley doesnt have a TDC mark. I cant gap the lifters, I turned the crank so that cylinder 1 was open IN + EX and did the rest like the manaul but it was no good. A bloke I was talking to said he used to just turn the crank till cylinder 1 was open on both valves, gap it then repeat the...

Its IN EX IN EX....
but theres more to it then I thought, I cant just set them all in one go unfortunately, apparently its a 2 stage process that also involves turning the crank. This is for engine hot, i cant get my engine hot so do I still use this process?

My manual is useless, which are the exhaust valves?

From the front of the engine does it go
ex in ex in ex in ex in .....
or
in ex in ex in ex in ex .....

cheers

Didnt set the valve clearances, I had a mate tell me not to bother with them. He thought the 2nd head I got had the rockers still on it but it was removed and I had to put it back on when I installed the head. A fitter a work today told me to set them up right. Makes sense that this can stop it from...

Any other ideas to try? I want to try and eliminate as much as possible before giving up.

I dont have the EDIC rod connected ATM because it wasnt working before the overheating, I got another one with the new engine and installed it, it didnt seem to switch so I took the rod off and made sure its pushed to the firewall. You give me far too much credit :) I didnt touch the pump except to ...

I pumped the system with the injector pump lines disconnected, then when they were on I pumped again. Reconnected the lines to the injectors and pumped again. I have cracked the bleed ontop of the filter since trying to start it and it shoots fuel into the air so to me that means its primed pretty g...

Well its 99% back together, I still need to join a couple of coolant hoses and the exhaust manifold.

Tried to start it and it will turn over but not fire. I made sure there was power to the glow plugs.

Any ideas of things to test/ eliminate? I dont want to throw in the towel just yet.

Thanks for quick reply. Will update my cactus 2H post when batterys are charged. Im not holding my breath but Im finally glad I got the time to put it together again. Its been a real mission and the bastard head has been fighting me every step of the way, and then the car joins in by giving me no ju...

Hi guys quick question, do diesels need back pressure to start? Ive had to change a head gasket for a 2H and in the process ive snapped a couple exhaust manifold studs which I need to repair tomorrow. So Ive put the rest together and tried to start the car but the batterys are flat. So while Im char...

Well I went and bought a secondhand 2H. The plan was to just put the head on and hope for the best but the 2 dodgy looking pistons have me worried. The guy i bought the spare from said if I only change the head and it still doesnt fire to use the pistons from the spare block with a new set of rings....

There is that 88 2H still available, once I get the full gasket kit and that Im looking at about $500. I dont want to pull the block out the head was heavy and awkward enough on its own. Options being put the whole thing in and take a chance or just the head and hope my pistons are ok. What are my s...

Took my time tearing the old girl apart today (no beers sadly). Taking the headbolts off was a real pita, some needed me to tap the rachet with a hammer and others cracked with ease. There is a lot of oil in the intake manifold is that normal? The gasket looked fine and didnt have any blowouts so wh...

You can do a compression check if you want, but i think it's a waste of time, you need to take of the head for a proper look So without checking the compression before taking the head off, how will I know the block is ok besides looking for cracks on the pistons? Is there a good tech article out th...

Glow plugs seem fine I didnt pull any complete injectors out, I did undo all the lines feeding into the top one at a time and cranked the car. The fuel didnt flow out of any of them maybe a drop for each solid crank. Is this what should happen? I would have thought more fuel should be flowing then t...

Pull the head off before making any decisions. Have it crack tested and check it's not warped, but if it's bad you'll see the cracks easily anyway. Take a good look at the pistons too. They can crack from excessive heat. Makes sense, I dont think Ill have enough time tomorrow to get that far. I fly...

Plus there's also the issue of why it overheated in the first place. Its the radiator, it had a bit of junk in it that i noticed. I was wanting to put in a big alloy radiator in the there as soon as I get a bit of room in the backyard to play around with the the custom install. The car never had a ...

Also the oil seems to be water free, Ive been told that this is a good sign and that the damage if any will be in the head. Is this true? I think I maybe able to get a 2H head off an 88 model 60 series, mines 84 was there any differences? Would you just change the gasket and see if the engine will s...

I would say my head gasket is gone too, but hopng the head is fine. Ive done the EDIC motor this morning and also cracked the fuel bleed nut to see if theres still pressure in the system...there is. Ill try the glow plugs tomorrow and injectors if theyre not too hard to get to. If they all check out...

I was on a long road trip today in my HJ60 and on the way home I was cruising at about 100-110kph when the temp got to within about 3mm of the red so I dropped to 90kph and after 5km it started to drop and was at the half mark after another 5km of driving. Then as I was going up a small hill we star...

Thanks for the help, I think it maybe a glow plug thing. I read somewhere yesterday that in cold weather a 60 series may need to be glowed longer to avoid the smoke, so I kept it glowing for a bit, even passed the light turning off and it started smoke free. Going to do a full fluids dump and filter...

Hi guys, my HJ60 absolutly bellows out white smoke after its sat for a while, it clears up within a minute but its a little embarrassing and its only started doing it recently. I tried bypassing the air filter to see if the filter is passed due but it still fogs up the neighbours for a sec :? , alth...
