Thanks. Just talked to the LC shop (Cruiser Solutions) in NH that did the engine swap work and I’m just going to bring it up there and let them at it. Figured I try and get smarter before doing that. I’ll also make sure they put on an OEM Toyota oil filter.It could be any number of things but I don't think your starter needs shimmed. Try higher octane fuel, maybe heavier oil, and lastly it could be something like piston slap, or timing tensioner, etc. Any number of things.
