The truck ran ok but it probably should be at least pressure tested. It’s clean, no cracks. 250 plus shipping. Have PayPal.

    Who knows but I will drop them off at the dump before I measure them all. My days of screwing with these heads are done. I will gladly replace the motor twice in one day than to swap the head again

    My question came from the assumption that you had rebuilt whatever head ended up on your truck and you already knew what shims you used out of the kit. Yeah, I feel you. If it ain't a race motor, just spec some god damned hydraulic lifters already. Thanks Toyota...

    Exactly. There has to be a better method but people get too hung up on the valve clearances to begin with. Anything over .008 is gonna get you another 250k assuming you aren’t beating it to death.
