Get a new motor if it going to cost that much. 1ggte less everything not needed ie bare motor could be had for well less then $1,000.

1g's dont have lifters?

the cam lobe pushes directly on the end of the valve stem, with a shim and bucket inbetween

brett_celicacoupe mate i got told that the 1ggte is running valve lifters

[frk5how]

But the info that I got could be wrong mate so i am to ask you guys

They do run lifters, but they are not hydralic lifters, they are shims.

Little things that look like a 10c piece.

They are about $10 each new

i have 1 in my hand mate and it damaged my cam lobe hard

[love ke70]

why is it 2500?
they are 15 each...15 x 24 = <2500
mayhaps tell us what has happened, and we may be able to help.

mate its$125x12 for exhaust and inlet is $85x12 valve lifters thats form toyota.


On sat night I was driving and stopped on a red light and there was a funny noise it sounded like a chunk of metal in my motor. I got home we removed the rocket cover to check if it was my lifters as my lifters where ticking, and we found a shim sitting in there and my cam lobe is damaged now so I am looking to fix it now

-get new mechanic (or learn to do it yourself)
-buy 2nd-hand head
-buy head gasket and associated manifold gaskets
-replace head

-profit


you could buy an entire engine+gearbox+ECU package for $2.5k

was working fine when it came off the car, if you interested pm me or give us a call on 0409431548

[kingmick]

does anyone have the dimensions of the 1g buckets?

Damn right... I was quoted $2.2k and only 75,000kms old!

Go to Toyota yourself and see how much they're worth...

Also try this mob: http://www.precisionshims.com.au/

Otherwise, do what I did, and rabbit shims etc. from old 4AG's (try your local Toyota wrecker)

3sf buckets work dont they....
i think the buckets are a rather standard size.
and mate, what do you mean by lifters?
the shims are $15 each. i priced it up myself

also, ive run my 1ggte with a shim dislodged
i just filed the rough edges off the cam and got on with life, why are you needing to replace all 24 "lifters" anyway...whatever the fuck you are referring to by that...

Well, that is a typical of the shim over bucket arrangement. Give them a BIG over rev, and they will flick the shim out !!

Clean up the gouges on the edge of the cam lobe, install a single new shim, and you are in business.

Toyota has probably quoted your mechanic for the bucket as well as the shim, hence the huge cost to do 24.

There are some engines that run shim under bucket, I think one of them is a camry motor (the V6?). I haven't looked too far into it but if the dimensions are right then that would be a nice little "upgrade" provided it works.

["Z" UTE]

Hydra, a nice little upgrade, yes, but potentially quite expensive. I have previously looked at 1ZZ-xx buckets and shims for a 4A-GTE. Cost was not prohibitive, but I figured I would not be pushing past the factory redline, so not really necessary.
Best to just check and adjust shim thickness, as required. If the engine sounds a little loose in the top end, probably a real good time to check and re-shim.

My old man once said, the 2 cheapest things to keep your engine in good nick, is oil and filters. The next is your time, to check and adjust, and above all else have some mechanical empathy for your engine !!!

cheers Chuck.
