 :hi: Back from vacation touring Cape Breton on the old FJ, busy playing catch up at work plus a weekend away to the VRRA (Vintage Road Racing Association) bike races at Mosport the weekend just gone :wacko3: Hectic springs to mind!!!

The clinic is still on for those that want to attend... :good2:

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in an attractive & well preserved body...but rather to slide in sideways, body completely worn out and and with your last dying breath screaming, "HOOOYA LIFE, lets try that again"!!!

I still plan on being there.

We should decide on what tools will be needed. I am already bringing valve clearance adjustment tools for Tiger's mean machine. Tentatively, Cathy has to work, so it will be just me coming up on the FJ.

Also, if parts (ie gaskets, orings, or rebuild kits) are needed, be sure to get your order into Randy now at RPM.

Hey Scouser, :). When we are done with your nice 86 it will be the fastest lawn mower you ever had!!! Hahaha!

Looking forward to seeing you guys , and some new faces too!

Funny you should say that. I just hooked a chain up and pulled a tree stump out with it.

What is required to adjust valves?
I'd like to get my valves adjusted but don't have a clue what is needed.
I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out.

For sure Rob, there is information on here and in the manual about the valve clearance check and adjustment. Your bike has to be cold when we do the measurements so if you can trailer your bike over we will get you sorted.  We can take the measurements and if we have the required shims on hand we will change them out right there.

I'll send you an email too.

Cheers
Paul

 :hi: I have a decent collection of tools (wrenches, sockets, etc), a lift that will take an FJ up about 3' from the floor, hardware, electrical connectors, lubricants, oil drain pan, etc. However, please bring your own part(s): oil/oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, gaskets, etc, etc, if needed...

The basic idea is to help you to get to know your FJ...to enable you to do some work/jobs/fixes on your FJ (that most people would put their ride in to a shop to have done), either on your own or with the help of other FJ owners around you. If we all work together, we can get rid of some of the fear/apprehension/mystic concerning you about your FJ :good:

Even if you don't need help, please come over and help other FJ owners...lets all work together and build a good tight knit group of proud Ontario FJ owners :good2:

The clinic will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m...(I have a birthday bash at 5.30 p.m. and a 1 1/2 hour travel window).

Please contact me (email, PM, etc) if you need my address :good2:

After our talk today, and reading the posts, you can pencil me in.  Maybe I can mess up your bench with an oil change, weather permitting...  :biggrin:

:good2: Superb..that will allow others, who haven't gone this route yet, to see what a great and easy up-grade this really is. It makes for quicker, cleaner oil changes. Filters are way cheaper than oem and are readily available at all automotive stores around the country. 4 Ltrs will cover you :good:

You're up early mate.
I'm piddling around Orangeville this morning on the FJ. Doesn't look like a day where I want to be more than 30 minutes from home base.
But I don't want to hanging around the office either. One of those restless Sundays.
