Cam Settings?

[Jonesy200]

Hi all I have just stripped down the head ready for a rebuild. Was relatively straight forward taking it apart and have around 40 photos so far of itt beingstripped down. Anyway my questionn is i lighned the cam at TDC and took it out straight up. When I get the head rebuilt its obviously going to come back unset right?? If so how to i set it back up iv looked n the site and havent come across any sort of guide etc? any help will be much appreciated.

it may be worth getting hold of the service manual, look on eBay for the cd rom versions which are usually pretty comprehensive and give all the required information for engine rebuilds.

If the same as the V8 engine fitted in the LS400 the valve clearances are set using shims.

You will need a manual to also provide the torque settings on reassembly.

I'll trawl eBay and see what i can find. Did haynes do a manual for the is200?

Try this one.

You could up until recently download the service manual for free until Toyota Motor Corporation stepped in, so much for freedom of information in the motor trade.
