*PLEASE READ THIS VIDEO DESCRIPTION FOR HELPFUL INFORMATION*
In this video, we show you how to do a valve adjustment on a Toyota 3RZ-FE 4 cylinder engine. The techniques and procedures we show for this engine would also translate to other Toyota dual overhead cam engine like the 5VZ-FE V6.

We cover everything you need to know from showing you what you need to disconnect to get the valve cover off, how to properly measure the valve clearances, how to adjust the valve clearance for any valves that are out of spec, and how to get everything back together once you're all done.
