no worries guys, all my valves were excessively tight so I adjusted them (warm) to .008 and .012 respectively, Adjusted the timing according to the sticker on my hood, Replaced Crank seal and o-ring.. pressure washed the whole underbelly, discovered a nifty marlin crawler button punched onto my tranny, and I must say.. She is one peppy, happy truck these days




and lots of signs pointing to a full rebuild as the previous owner had claimed.. the oil pump is also brand new.


now its just the classy miss with the egr in and at idle "they all do that" says pops. Whatever! I'm just stoked she's happy. Oh the grommet to the valve cover that the pcv goes into is toast.. fortunately.. lexus uses the same grommet. I've got my dad bringing me home one whenever he gets home from work.
