Just checked out the valve clearances on my 25K mile '09 against the Tc data on this site and there seems to be a difference

Valve clearance data
Inlets .008 to .011, most around .010
Exhausts 6 at .017, 2 at .018

Anyone have the actual 09 numbers?
Cheers

Looks like I will need to get an alldata subscription or similar then.
How many on-line manuals/services (like alldata) are available?
Are any better than the others?

As I recall, the tC engine is setup differently from the xB2 (it's intended to be a sport car). Likely different cams. Have you checked the tech data download for the xB2? I'm expecting the Camry engine specs to be the same.

Per Alldatapro online. 09 scion xb and tc same specs.

Standard valve clearance (cold):

Thanks, that is different to the tech data on this site for the 2.4L Tc Engine (2005?)
The inlets are the same, but the exhausts are wider
Tc Data
Intake 0.19 - 0.29 mm (.0075 - .0114 in)
Exhaust 0.30 - 0.40 mm (.0118 - .0158 in)

Perhaps the engine # is different?? This was for a 2AZ-FE engine 2005 data.
So the gaps are spot on per AllData.

Glad I didn't have to buy 8 buckets at almost $20 a pop, and then set them wrong.

Thanks Scott

Here's a link to some slides of pictures taken during the process

I can embed the pictures if the admins think its worthwhile.

Port size and cam dimensions are two different things. The tC and xB2 engines are not the same, but they are both considered 2AZ-FE.

Are those specs the same for a 2011 XB? Mine developed a valve tap last weekend and the dealer said they couldn't get it to reproduce the noise, even though it does it all the time now. I'm going to try one more dealer, but if I don't have any luck there, I'm gonna have to check it out myself I guess. I've got 23,000miles on mine. Oh, and what is the recommended interval for checking valve adjustment?
