Hello everyone. Im new to this fourm but have been creeping it for a couple of years now. to make a long story short I am doing a diesel conversion on my daily driven fzj80. I was able to score 2 Hdj81 parts trucks for a really good price and have very slowly been working on this project. As of now I am digging into what will be the new engine for my land cruiser. the engine I have chosen to use came out of a truck that was parked after an injection pump failure. it had about 150000km on the clock when parked. its sat for 7 years untouched. I was able to turn the engine over by hand after oiling the cylinders and it fired up almost first crank after swapping injection pumps. its now in the garage torn down and ready for a "freshen up" the road block I have hit now is id like to use mostly all toyota parts or parts of similar or better quality and I am looking for input on where to get them and what parts to use. In particular piston rings have been a struggle. Id like to use toyota Piston rings and am having a hard time finding them in Canada. I would consider an after market set of piston rings if someone has had good experience with a certain brand. also what is the best BEB to use? any information would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for your time
