Thanks for all the input. I haven't have time or desire to go into the cold garage to do/contemplate of doing the job yet. I just got an engine hoist from Santa and will assembling it this week.

Thanks for all your recommendations. The engine is running good. My wife is driving it every day and she wants a new Camry. I think I will swap the shim(s) from the spare engine. Now the valve cover gasket is leaking.....

Thanks, I guess I was not clear of what I said above. I'm basically debating/contemplating on replacing heads v.s. replacing shims.

Background: Have 92 LS400 with 270,000 miles. Engine is ticking loud, louder than a 350 Heavy Duty diesel. Ticking is from the left bank. In July, fan bracket went bad. So I went and bought a 93 LS400 engine with 100K miles to get the bracket as well as a few other things since the engine...

I don't think my Bosch rotors have any groove. I'll check sparks on all 8 before adjusting the rotors. By "Jacked" doesn't mean I've damaged anything, have I?

I did the sensors test last night and they are within range: No.1 cam position sensor resistance:1103 No.2 cam position sensor resistance: 1104 Engine speed sensor resistance: 1133. PRIMARY COIL RESISTANCE LH and RH are within range: Primary coil resistance (Cold): Jumping between 0.4–0.5...

Thanks, I only checked #1 and 2 wires. I'll check the others tonight. I thought that if #1 and 2 have sparks, the rest should since the rotors is rotating; providing sparks. I might be wrong here. Engine won't start at all and it is flooded after so many cranks. I'll check the resistance on...

Maybe you can help me on this one. I'm stumped. I followed a pictured step by step manual on how to replaced the timing belt, water pump, rollers and tensioners. I also replace the fan bracket since it was the problem. I might as well do the timing belt replacement while I'm in there and 82k...
