Hi all. Have searched everywhere for this but haven't managed to find it... Is someone able to enlighten me with a high level (or even detailed if so inclined) guide to checking the valve clearances on the 1GR-FE? I've only ever looked at the valves on my motorcycle and it's a 10 minute job with special inspection covers you take off. The Prado looks a little more complex. And is it just a case of replacing shims to get the desired clearance or is it the whole bucket/lifter? They're sounding pretty tappety (165k) and I'd rather be safe than sorry but don't want to fork out $500+ in labour if I can manage it myself. That said, might need to get the shim tool from Toyo if that's the only way to swap them out.
Thanks
Brett
