This week I was in Las Vegas for work and I met up with "LJ-70". Him and his wife picked me up from work in the 70 series Land cruiser and treated me to a trip into the mountains to go cruise around the trails above Las Vegas. He just finished the motor swap from a 2L-t to a 2L-tII. He even let me drive for awhile.

Thanks for the hospitality!! It was great to meet you.

Here you go steve.

Finished installing all the bottom end bearings. Now if I can find my oil squiter nozzles I'll be able to drop the crank in.

Ask and you shall receive. I'll post a video of the first fire-up.

I found the oil nozzles but I can't find the oil check bolts that hold the nozzles in place. Might just buy some new ones.

Didn't you move in the middle of this fiasco?

Yeah it's making this more challenging. Fourtunately I did take measures to ensure some level of sanity.

Yeah but I'm starting to wish I had made a photo template for the bolts that went on the interior of the engine. Called my parts guy at Toyota who said the last 3 in the US are in California. Wouldn't you know, I need 4? He's gonna see what he can do If not, I have a source in Japan and Steve in the U.K. And shipping for 1 bolt isn't too bad. And only takes about a week. 1st world problems.

I hear that's the best Toyota dealership around. The best mechanics bar none.

New bolts in hand. Those are the nozzles off to the right. Soon as I install these the crank can go in.

Your hand is so dirty, it looks like a piston

I'd like to have it done within a month,but if things continue to slow me down who knows.

Installed the rear main seal, both balance shafts with new thrust bearings and both motor mounts.

This is getting exciting!!!

Drop that balance shaft on your toe with them flip flops on. That would be interesting.

Looks great Nate. Can't wait to get you out again. $Beer Chug\'n$

total dumb moment.. balance shafts?

Balance shafts counteract the vibrations of engine operation
