5k Head Gasket Hydro Lifters

[Chief]

Hey guys i just completed my head gasket on a 5k but when i did it does it have to be timed in or anything like that?

I just thought i would ask before i start the engine before i break it lol

 

I just called toyota about a 5k fuel pump and they want 126.00 for one and thats a bit pricey for me lol do you guys know of anywhere i can get one cheaper

or will a modded 4k one work?

 

Cheers guys

No need to mod a 4K one at all, just grab one from a wrecker and chuck it on.

 

Make sure you get the spacer!! There is a phenolic spacer that goes between the block and pump and you must have this installed.

 

You should just be able to throw the motor back together and get it going again, unless you pulled the dizzy out.

Being hydro lifters you don't even have to adjust.... or re-check the tappets either. :)

Actually one thing that you need to do is check your lifter preload; if you've had the head skimmed only slightly I dare say you will be fine, but it's a worthwhile thing to check.

ooo whats lifter preload? if you mean the preload on the lifters from the rods they all seem to be in there snug nothing falling out.

 

Cheers taz and philbey

Your lifters will compress a certain amount when everything is bolted up. You need to make sure the preload is about the 1.5mm mark,

 

It's a simple process but it takes a bit of trial and error to get the hang of it. Google "set lifter preload" and you will find out the deal. Crow cams or Crane cams (can't remember) have an article on it.

ahhh ok when i put the head back on i just put the rods into the tappet (what i think are tappets) and just torqued down ill google it now
