7MGE intake shim help!!!!!

[Setsuko37]

So my 7ms head is off for a BHG repair and the head and all other parts are being cleaned. Well a intake valve shim ended up getting lost but a neighbor had a 7m and gave me abunch of shims. Are these things you can just put in because ive heard people say i need a micrometer, but others have said its na and since its on the intake side it doesnt matter. does it matter?

2. does anyone have a tightening formation pattern for headgasket.

3. does anyone also have a graph of where engine bay wiring harness go to.
(or is it really that simply color coded?)

TSRM is the service manual, EPC is an electronic parts catalog, and TEWD is for electrical wiring diagrams.

Well, does it SAY it doesn't matter in the Toyota Service Repair Manual?

Nope, it says the opposite. What, don't have a TSRM? Visit your neighborhood Toyota dealer and order one today.

No, the online TSRM is a tool for us to help people find the page we're talking about. THIS is what he needs:

If you want them to keep printing manuals and supporting our cars, you might want to consider buying the manuals rather than ripping off copyrighted material... Just my $.02, ymmv... For those of you with 1/2 an ounce of ethics, here's the info needed:

Call Toyota Customer Services Division Compton, CA, USA

Phone: (800) 622-2033

Hours 7am - 5pm Pacific Standard Time.

Ask for the Toyota Supra Repair Manual (TSRM) for your year Supra.

The number is for Toyota Customer Services Division, which is in charge of distributing the SRM's/owners manuals/body work manuals along with other things. For our cars manuals are still being printed for 90 and newer, but there should be a back stock of all other manuals (this is where your local dealer orders them), so if you can't get it here, it can't be gotten without searching too hard.

Manuals are priced as follows (these are approximate prices at the time of posting (5/2006). Please call for exact pricing):

MKIII Supra $55-60 US

MKIII Supra Electrical $15 US

MKIII Supra Auto Trans $17 US

MKIV Supra $115-130 US

MKIV Supra Electrical $30-65

MKIV Supra Auto Trans $40 US

Owners Manuals $5 US

Collision Repair $10 US

Shipping costs are reasonable and the manual comes within 3-4 days for ground shipping. You can also get any other Toyota vehicle manual from them.

MKII TSRM's are also now being reprinted & are available. If Toyota Customer Services Division is unable to help, then you can also try calling Jeff Watson, he is also able to order the MKII TSRM's. I don't believe the Electrical Wiring Diagrams for the MKII's are available as reprints yet.

Jeff Watson can be reached at 1-800-327-2087

(And yes, I own a TSRM for every Supra I have...)

I asked the dealer and they were able to order one for me.

Thank you dude with the crazy hair picture(btw what episode of what on the history channel is that from) lol

But listen thats not really what I was asking , my question is can i just put one in and its not going to blow up or something? Because I have a abunch of 7m shims and no micrometer, and some things on cars u can just half ass things if they arnt going to make a difference(not saying i like half assers but we all do it from time to time lol) so can I just put a shim in and will it not matter or will it matter

 

[hvyman]

Need to measure a shim with a micrometer. Installed it. Check the clearance with a feeler gauge. Then if it is not in spec you need to add or subtract the number that you are off by from the thickness of the shim and that will give you the size of the shim you need.

If you use too big of a shim could damage the valve train or keep a valve from closing and too small of a shim will make noise.

It's not something you want to half ass unless that how you do things.

The shims are important.

The bolt tightening sequence is important.

Doing things properly is important. Half assing ANYTHING on this engine is going to result in you paying, usually financially. This is a 20 year old GT car we're talking about as well. It's a tight tolerance multivalve DOHC engine, not a domestic that you can throw together with a socket set and bodge with JB Weld. Do it right first time, or don't bother at all.

Go out and get a TSRM, READ it before you pick up any more tools and FOLLOW IT'S INSTRUCTIONS when you're finished reading and want to work on it.
