Brake Mastercylinder Swap

LandCruiser Oil Pan Swap

The stock Tundra oilpan was not built with a solid front axle in mind. It requires significant amount of clearancing for it to work, even more if you want to run HiSteer.

First task was to remove the existing system. My last attempt to increase the holding capacity went awry and I ended up warping the pan. That in turn lead to oil leakage. Time to take care of that issue.

Here's the bottom of the 2UZ-FE. There are 3 parts to the oil pan assembly, the loer pan, a baffle, and the upper pan. The hardest part of taking it down is prepping the surface for RTV. A scraper and a rag wet with brake cleaning fluid get it ready. Check that the pick up sump gasket came off clean. If not scrape and clean it.

Here is a side by side of the 2 different assemblies. You can see how the LC set up has the main reservoir for the lower pan more towards the rear.

First, install the pick up sump, then using RTV, goop up the the mounting surface. Torque the 12mm bolts to 21 ft-lbs, the 10mm ones to 66 in-lbs.

Put on the baffle and lower pan. Lower pan bolts get torqued to 66 in-lbs, don't over do it!!!

Here it is! Much better! Plentu of room for the tie rod and drag link. Took 7.5 qts to fill it up
