    1UZFE Vs. 2UZFE Bucket

    Shims are for adjusting valve clearance on 2uzfe According to my 2003 Tundra shop manual, the shims are for adjusting the valve clearance on the 2uzfe. There are a bunch of thicknesses called out in the manual and it tells you how to go about it.

    Oil Jets

    David, I don't have an 05, I have an 03 and they didn't come with the oilers. Hoping somebody can get the specs on the mounting location. I think what I will do is temporarily install a crank, two rods and two pistons on the same journal and see where it will mount without interference and be...

    David, My 05 2uzfe oilers came in. Pics attached. Seems very easy....drill the appropriate sized hole in the right place in the undersided of the main oil galley, drill an appropriate sized hole for a bolt or screw, locktite it and you are in business. Need to figure out where the hole for...

    Oil Jets

    2uzfe David, I went out and drilled into the oil galley on one of my broken 2uzfe blocks and, at least on the cast iron blocks, the thickness of the block on the bottom of the oil galley is little bit over 7mm. I have some oilers coming and will install them in the 2uzfe you are assisting me...

    Supercharger for Kit for 98+ GS400/430, LS430 & SC430

    Height of TRD SC David, Height of the TRD S/C is 10 3/4". For purposes of fitment, might be a thought to measure from a reachable point on the frame, cross member, etc. as well as the engine points. That would take into consideration engine position in relation to the frame, hood, etc...

    Supercharger for Kit for 98+ GS400/430, LS430 & SC430

    Electronics? David, As you know, I'm switching from a TRD supercharger to a turbo so I know a little about the SC. SC would probably physically fit, however the electrical portion of the system (piggy-back computer, electrical connectors that go to the stock ECU from the TRD ECU and the...

    Absolutely!!!!!!!!!! Cribbj, you are da Man! In all the ramblings I've read on all the forums I belong to, (or anywhere else for that matter) you have succinctly captured the essence of hotrodding in general and innovation in particular. Naysayers are aplenty and can certainly be the driving...

    Destruction of Thrown Rods

    Hey Lowboost, My humble opinion is the 1uzfe rods will take a lot more than the 2 and 3uzfe rods, however, you are still constricted by the oem cast pistons. My failure looks like a combination of both the rods and pistons. Unable to determine which let go first, but suffice to say, both...

    Destruction of Thrown Rods

    OK, the straight scoop Time to put this thing to bed. I'm Wayne and the pics are of my 2003 4.7, at this point in time, titled Tundra Soup. Many thanks, Lex, for trying to explain this thing, and I will take it from here. For you folks who are guessing, never seen the inside of a 2uzfe, etc...
