Hello forum.

Had my Fj1200 3cv from 88 for about three years. Trying to get my drivers license this saturday.

And have been fixing it along the way.
And I believe some problem would been easier if I foind this forum earlier.

Thanks FJMonkey, I searched around and found some threads. People talk about the rope trick, another used compressed air. Basically for me I've never done any engine work like that so I would really need a sequenced photo instruction or youtube video....but don't plan to tackle that now so not needed asap or anything. Thanks for you help and sorry to hijack the thread from our new member Tomek!

I am pressed for time right now, but valve guide/seals have been covered in our maintenance section. I can check the files tonight. Or you can search as well. I recommend using Google to find the posts. In a google search include the words fjowners.com with the KEY words like valves or valve guide. Let me know if you still need help finding the posts.

Quote from: FJmonkey on August 13, 2025, 01:04:55 PMWelcome, that is a good looking "Theft Deterrent" White. I have the Dark version of your 89. The oil use may be valve guides. If so, they can be fixed without an engine rebuild. Lots of smoke on start up? How about after its warm?
FJ Monkey, my FJ smokes like a chimney for about a minute after start up but not after that. Are valve guides the same as valve seals? Can you elaborate on the fix without a rebuild? Previously somebody mentioned using rope to hold the valves in place and changing them out, is that what you would suggest?
