The way you did it I bet it lasts at least as long as the factory finish.
That stuff is on there. Looks good.

Too tight or too loose?
The specs say it is the the number is the limit. For synchros, it means that it can't be any less than the limit. H42 synchros are beefy for first and second, any you get new 3-4 ones in the rebuild kit.
The 3rd and 4th gear synchros are the only ones available and should be included in a complete rebuild kit. I wouldn't reassemble it without new synchro rings. See if they are available from Toyota or other transmission sources. They are not expensive. They were about $15 the last time I looked, which was about 10 years ago.
I bought the 1-2 syncro package years ago for a resto. Cost was ~$450, IIRC. Too expensive, I know, but the cust was OK with it, and the trans was already scattered on the bench.
Ah, missed that before. Ok, then with that logic, my 3rd gear synchro is ok too since the gap is larger than the lower limit. I'll go back and clarify my mess above.Your 1-2 synchro is not out of spec. The spec Is a minimum.
The tranny is open, so replace the inexpensive 3-4 syncs. Don't worry about the 1-2 cause it's massive and doesn't usually wear out.
What it means is that the two rings start and end on different keys. Since there are 3 keys, the ends will be 120 degrees out of phase. Either way is OK as long as they don't line up.
It is probably not necessary, but I think that the reason they tell you to do that is to randomize the force vectors on the synchronizer keys so that they do not resonate out of phase with the force vector of the flux capacitor and create an unsustainable environmental situation.
