Installing pistons, rods, crankshaft, and bearings into my freshly machined Toyota 1FZ-FE engine block! Finally making some progress on the 80 Series Land Cruiser engine rebuild! This block has been bored .020" over, honed, resurfaced, the crank has been polished, the rods have been cut/resized, new pistons, rings, and everything to completely overhaul this engine and make it as good as new (or better!)
