David - I'm using ixwebhosting and have good luck with them. Yotatech is using Digital Crowd. They have many MORE users and never seem to have problems.

1UZ is too long, but I don't agree that it is heavy. Now the 2UZ, that's another matter entirely.

Do you have any pictures of your work? I'd be curious to see what you did to your hydraulic fan pump and also what was involved with rebuilding the power steering pump?

Cool - I have something I can use!! Thanks!

Muzz - did you make your own paper gasket or buy a Toyota part? I don't want to be in there any time soon...

Appears to be front sump per the above pic (a la LS400/Crown). Can't see the engine mounts.

Should I use the same black FIPG on the oil pickup tube where it meets the block? Reason I ask is that the 1UZ tube had no gasket whatsoever and the 2UZ tube had Toyota's paper gasket. FWIW, the 1UZ connection seemed to have gotten some crud on the surface between the two at some point in it's...

Does this exist anywhere else. I'm to the point where I need this stuff now (I can host if it's a space issue)

There was just an article in the magazine "4WD Toyota Owner" Magazine about a 2UZFE in an FJ55. Nothing on their website though.

I was one with the parts washer tonight. I cleaned both the front sump setup I'm not using and the LX470 version I picked up last week. Remember when I said I was thankful for stupid people? I was eating those words tonight when it took me at least an hour and a half to clean the sludge out...

I've got a silly question. I was trying to yank out my PCV on the cam cover and couldn't get it out. Is there a trick, or are they just stubborn?

That's a new one on me. I've never seen or heard of it before. I've gotta find that stuff.

Thanks Rod - I'll dig into the diagram. Thanks for the info!! Hey Muzz - I'm wondering if Wurth is a down under product only - haven't heard of it. Is the Toyota stuff the black FIPG or the red stuff used on diffs and such? I actually have both. :headbang:

OK, who knows what sealant I'm supposed to use to attach the aluminum ring and the oil pan to the engine? What I pulled off appeared to be a silver sealant of some sort. Anyone know for sure? I'd prefer not to repeat my water pump escapades.

Rod - do I need to use the sensor? I'm sure my 4Runner guage package didn't have that feature... Any ill effects on other things if it just goes unconnected?

Here's the (*). There's some sort of sensor on the 1UZ pan that doesn't appear to be used on the 2UZ. There's a knockout, but there aren't any mounting holes drilled/tapped. No big deal, I can drill/tap it. Not sure if I need the sensor or not. #2 - the fan oil pump and idler assembly...

God do I love www.car-part.com. Located a 2UZ oilpan about 40 minutes from my house today. Turns out, I also love stupid people. Some dimwit with an LX470 never changed the oil, so the engine seized. Good for me, bad for them. The boneyard swapped a rebuilt motor into the LX470 and had...

If David (Lextreme) doesn't wish to, I have a number of places I could do it. I have autocad 2004 and a full version oof Adobe Acrobat, so I can do some conversions to offer up the various file formats. I would consider making a dedicated page just for it if folks are game. Here's something I...

That would give me a good reason to break out the TIG, but man that's a lot of welding. Great pic of your engine mount too though. Your pic for reference: I'd prefer to bolt together as much of this as possible for future swappers here in the US. If it fits and I can get it cheap, I'll...

Are all the 2UZ pans the same? I found a pic of a landcruiser pan on a Tundra with a solid axle.
