How's the alignment on the valve?If it's shifted over, you could put a shim on there to shift the rocker over...........
They probably won't be open Monday being the 4th. As for those intake studs, did you double nut them to try and remove them? And LCE's header studs are cheaper then buying Toyota studs.
I didn't use locktite, but I did use never seize on the manifold side. As for the DT header, why did you choose that one? I heard it has/had problems because of that welded o-ring never sealing right.
Since I pulled a couple of studs on the exhaust side; I removed the remaining studs, drilled and tapped for threaded inserts and used stainless threaded rod to replace the stock studs.Won't ever pull out again. Heavy duty Loctite on threaded inserts, medium duty for the studs.Did it with the head on the engine tooo.....
I have been using permatex aviation gasket maker to coat my gaskets lately and have gotten excellent results. I have all but sworn off any kind of silicone product.
First, i commend you!... I'd be surprised if he doesn't send you some new guides if you send those back...
..... and maybe I'll be done by 2026
Hi t,Are doing a rebuild on your 22RE, or have you done one in the recent past?Gnarls.
Gnarly, are you sure it's the guides you're having problems with? I installed the Engnbldr chain kit a while ago and never had a problem but when I was installing my new timing cover from Engnbldr it seemed like there was less clearance for the LCE timing kit I had.
I am at the tail end of my first rebuild. I hope not to be doing another for a long time to come
Tail end??? Tail end is great! I'd love to be at the tail end! Where in the "sequence of events" are you? I just installed the timing chain, cover, water pump, oil pump, torqued the head, installed the big water pipe, the little water pipe. I'm about to install the intake manifold and ERG pipe, etc.And, a big FLIPP'N YES to "not to be doing another for a long time to come"!!!!!Gnarls.
