So I got some parts and some work done.
First I replaced the 28 year old Power steering Idle air control valve. This is for a 3vz, as I couldn't find a cheap one for the 22re. Seemd to work.

Having a stand makes things much easier. This gear set moved the shims, off the pinion and under the pinion race. I like this a lot more!

First go at it with factory spacing. .053" patten to shallow. Needs more shims! But close.
