Here is a link to the tool: https://www.asrparts.com/products/land-cruiser-sst-valve-clearance-adjusting-tool Correct it compresses the bucket allowing the shim to sneak out. .15-.25mm for intake per FSM .35-.45mm for exhaust per FSM Should aim to be in middle range as far as clearance goes

Valve job complete along with coolant system flush. New OEM radiator,thermostat and associated hoses. Timing belt, tensioner and water pump. Oil pressure sensor and some other odds and ends. Thanks @rick_d for lending me some SSTs knowledge bombs.

1HDT timing belt and water pump job. Along with coolant system overhaul and BEB. Prepping for another 400km

Clean 470 snuggled up next to me at el torero you on here?

I hear ya. Much like the 1FZ with its Hg "issue". Some guys replacing them at 180k and others who have had them fail prematurely and tarnish the name of the 1Z because they had a poor experience. Then there is the other side of the court which I am personally in with the 1FZ where I am going...

Not new to cruisers but this is my first 1HD-T. ( 1990 HDJ81 ). With that said PO claimed to have BEB done 80k ago and while I do have supporting paperwork from ATEB years ago I’ve obviously read it’s the only major issues that plagued these motors. Where I could use some clarification is once...

Haha yep that’s the one!
