I found a GX470 service manual and used that. It is 30 ft lb and then a 90° turn plus another 90° turn. I have 500 mi on her now. That website is interesting. It was $2,800 for all the machine work including the new Pistons, rings, and complete valve job. The 2002 motor will be a lot cheaper...

Any noticeable temperature differences?

Once I installed the crank pulley I was able to estimate that it was about 2° retarded ( mark slightly to the right of 0° mark). I've been driving it the past 2 weeks and so far so good and no codes. I suspect the computer and VVT-i is compensating for any minor differences. Fuel trims are good...

Unfortunately there are no adjustable cam gears available but the VVT-i is pretty much a computer controlled version.

Well that makes sense haha. I spoke to the machine shop and they confirmed it was due to the heads and block being resurfaced and not to worry about it. I'm excited and nervous to get this bad boy in. Can't find any examples of 2UZs bored .20 over online. I'm sure it's been done before but it...

Ah interesting, you didn't have the heads resurfaced?

Another quick question for you @chbrow10 . Did you notice after having the head and block machined that the timing was slightly off? While installing my timing belt I noticed that my cam marks are less than half a tooth off. The only thing I can think off that would cause that is the fact that I...

Hello I'm reaching out to anyone that has done a head gasket job or engine rebuild on a 2UZ-FE motor. The heads and block were taken to the machine shop and they were both resurfaced among other things. While doing the timing I've noticed that my timing marks are slightly off. Not quite a half...

It's the black plastic style. Could it be a mistake in the 05 to 06 FSM? Kind of weird the two years in the middle would have such a big difference. 05 to 09 heads and gaskets are the same part numbers.

I know @2001LC is super knowledgeable of these engines based on the research I've done leading up to this point. Going to PM him.

The manual I'm using for the engine work is a 2005 to 2006 Tundra VVT-I. I'm pretty sure those were made in America as well. I'm super confused by this. I'm really not sure which way to go. Picking the block and heads up at machine shop this afternoon and this discrepancy has me super stressed.

I'm currently doing a rebuild on a 2006 VVTI GX470. I noticed a discrepancy in the service manual for the head bolt torque sequence. I'm curious if you're manual shows only one 90 degree turn or if it shows the 90 + 90.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I'm curious if you ever had your p0340 code come back and if so what the solution was. I'm having this code come up intermittently on our 06 GX470.

Hello all! Im looking for some advice with our GX470. The vehicle is occasionally misfiring on cylinder #6. I swapped over number eight number six coil pack and it didn't change anything. The spark plug seemed a little fouled so I put a new spark plug in. My p0306 code went away but the live...
