Valve Adjustment for a FJ62 (1 Viewer)

[BigSur]

Is it the same procedure for a valve adjustment on a 3fe and a 2f with the exception on a 3fe the engince needs to be warm?

What are the differences in the two?

Both engines need to be warm. It should be the same procedure. The hardest thing on the 3FE I have heard is finding TDC.

Finding TDC on the 62 sux cause there is hardly any room to work with.

Well, Toyota recommends warm... so...................

Maybe it's a question of how warm is warm enough? Burning your knuckles while doing a valve adjustment sounds a little too warm....

No difference in the procedure for the 2F and 3F engines. Who told you there was?

valve adjustment for fj62 3f engine

Hey fellows, long time no see, how are you going?...

I was wondering if some of you knows what is the most accurate way for doing valve adjustment for a 3f engine running on gas, I have the beast already for a while, around 20,000km we've been together and she never let me down. The valves were always tapping...I supposed that the adjutment should be a bit looser than normaly as my engine is running also on gas...i'm not sure though??

Help please, someone?!!???

Cheers
