1UZ non-interference engine? - How to check stuck valve?

[stradlater]

Is the 1uz a non-interference engine?

It looks like from what i can gather that it is non-interference.

Therefore, the thought past my mind that it could be a valve stuck open. How do I check for that?

What's the compression?
Any valves have a lash/gap that is WAY beyond spec? If it runs, it will be LOUD, no reason to measure it.

Normal 1UZ is non-interference. VVTi 1UZ is interference.

Check via compression test and or leakdown test.

Awesome, thanks guys.

I shall do some investigating with the compression / leak down test.

Pull the rocker covers and if a valve is stuck down you should have enough clearence between the cam lobe and bucket to put your finger in. and the valve shim would probably have fallen off to.
