Valve Clearance Inspection and Adjustment (3.4L V6 5VZ-FE Engine)

Hey Dudes,

My buddy Sean and I have another video for you. If you were looking for a tutorial on how to inspect and adjust the valve clearances on your 3.4L V6 5VZ-FE engine, here it is.

This job was quite the pain in the arse but my buddy Wei and I learned a lot in the process. We hope your job will be much smoother by learning from our experience and listening to our suggestions. Good luck and Happy Wrenching!

Awesome!

 

Awesome video, Tim! Wish I had known to check this during my last timing belt/valve cover job.

 

Gold. Thanks Timmy

 

Tim, excellent video of a hard job. I am embaresed to say I did not realize the valve lash was adjustable on the 3.4. I gotta say that after seeing how hard that job is, I think I might rather swap for a newer JDM engine. Those JDM dealers have mostly those engines (at least the ones I have been to - 2 in Fla and my kid went to one in OH and told me there were tons there.) He has used 2 JDM engines and they worked out pretty good so far. But any way great video and very interesting how to do that service-thanks for making it.
