So I forgot to take the valve lifters out of the head before I turned over my block and they all fell out on the floor.

Anyone know the order they go in by chance?

lifters? you mean the buckets? if so then you have to just put them all back and measure.

 

i dont have the ablity to do that. does anyone have the number they go in please it would make life so much easier

 

Doesnt work that way. They are different thicknesses. Thats how you set valve lash. No two heads are the same.

 

so do you think that could be my problem and preventing the crank from turning after a certian point

 

I doubt it, probably have the cam timing off a tooth.

 

so if the timing is off a tooth that would prevent the crank from turning over after a certian point?

 

Are you assembling your engine or was there a problem with it?

I know how this is going to come off (I appoligize there is no way not to sound like a -ick.) but if you don't know what you are doing or are uncertain about something get the repair manual. Maybe someone on the site can help or get one from Toyota. Toyota is really expensive but would you want to take a chance and blow your engine? Explain what you are doing, if you changed parts explain that, and someone should be able to help you better figure out your issue.

 

I take no offense at all. this is all a learn experiance to me. i was dumb on my part and forgot to take out the lifters in the order they where placed in. and i think the timming could have 180 itself so im going to try and take off the cams and the chain then crank it over with a wrench and see if it gets stuck or if it rolls the right way

 

Hopefully someone can hook you up with that portion of the manual. Even if you take it apart and put it back together it could still make too much difference and you would have to remeasure the clearance and adjust the shims accordingly.

 

yeah i even went to the dealer and they didnt know what i was talking about if it doesnt work im just going to get another motor.. or sell this one..

That is what I am talking about! Hope everything works out once you get the manual it should explain exactly how to do everything. Does anyone have the engine section for the 07?

 

pm me your email...

 

Super old thread, but did you ever figure out an EASY way to go about it? I made the same mistake and hate how the service manual wants you to do this that and the other. The equation they give seems a little ridiculous....There has got to be a better way.
