3RZ 1997 Toyota Tacoma 1,500 Mile Valve Clearance Adjustment

We are 1,500 miles in on breaking in the Yota1 rebuilt engine. Time to check and adjust valve clearance before giving it some hell.

Awesome video

I forgot to mention that Timmy the Toolman has a great video on setting valve clearances. This video was more for documentation for warranty purposes. I’ve got the oil changed so I am going to do the 0-60 test this weekend.

Ignore the crank position dot. I will say the crank pully can slip on the rubber. Neither of my 3rzs line up the dot with the cam dots. Also the dial calipers work but i ended up getting a mitutoyo 0 to 1 inch micrometer. The dude at yota1 said they set the engines up with the larger shim sizes to give plenty of room for adjustment.

I just ordered a new harmonic balancer, been experiencing some vibration for a few years now so I am banking on the rubber being torn. Hopefully I can get the crank and bolt off and back on. Wish I would have found this out on step 2 of getting the engine back in…
