Yeah, I have a local contact who can do them for me also. He did my Dakar one (see below) and my upside-down "If you can read this... please turn me over" decalOriginally Posted by LaOutbackTrail

Sounds like it has a seized bottom end, the starter can't quite turn the motor over but it does rotate a bit. It may be salvageable. Will yank it and check for heating and decide if it is indeed useable. But, I sure as crap won't be doing anything till the weather cools off. Too many days in the +106* garage working on the Montero. No worries, not planning to replace or sell the Montero. But my wife, daughter, and I loved our previous FJ62 and were reluctant to sell it. But being unemployed and needing a more reliable vehicle, we didn't have much of an option.
This go around I'm hoping my daughters can drive the cruiser to school... in 10 and 16 years.

Wow!! Sorry to hear about the engine problems. I sure hope it's salvageable.
It's not exactly common to hear this problem. I've had my fair share of abused engines but nothing like that. I'm sure if you get her back in working order, she'll last a long time to come.

I bought (actually traded some stuff) it knowing the condition. Interior and exterior are in fair condition, but it'll be fine.
The options I'm considering, whenever I finish setting up the Montero, are:
Rebuild/replace the 3FE and install 4spd or 5spd Toyota manual. H41/42 or H55
Tune an OM617 Mercedes diesel to match or exceed HP and Torque values of the 3FE, mate above transmissions to OM617.
Chevy 5.3L (327) to above transmissions or (haven't researched this) a chevy transmission.
I may begin collecting the parts for this soon... once I weigh the options. Time to get the dry erase board out!

So that you guys can see that I haven't sold the truck... and for those who are interested in what color I went and the progress that's been made..... Still have all of the plastic trim to paint....
Over 300 miles on the rebuild and she's driving great! Much more of a pleasure to drive than the red thing there...

Great color...are you going to put all the plastic trim back on or just the fender flares?
Keep up the good work!
