Hello,
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
I have a rebuilt 22re toyota engine and head. I have to put the head on and set the valve clearances. My ? is with the engine at tdc I set the clearances on the intakes 1st correct? Then I have to turn the crank 360 degrees to adjust the exhaust valves? If this is correct can I adjust the clearances cold?
Can anyone tell me what the intake and exhaust clearances are?
Is there a gasket that covers the timing chain area just in front of the head? Any help is appreciated! Boy is this fun!

Dude, from your questions it sounds like you don't have a Factory Service Manual, or even an aftermarkert manual. :shakehead
Get yourself an FSM.

Thanks for the advice, sounds like you are a heavy in the 4x4 . I am doing my 1st ever 4x4, and just wanted to know the clearances. I have a Haynes manual and it tells me to bring the engine up to temp, then adjust the clearances. Seems a little much. All I want to know is if it is ok to set them cold. These aftermarket manuals are not always correct. Trying to save a $ if possible.

There is a factory service manual available at the top of this sub-forum. Manuals are also available at public libraries. Set the valves at operating temp as per instructions in the manual. Taking shortcuts will not save you money. The procedure maybe found in the following link. What you stated above is incorrect.

Tolerances change with engine temperature. Follow instructions. All the intake valves do not open and close at the same time. Follow the manual's instructions. The exhaust valves do not open and close at the same time. Follow the manual's instructions. Although I have seen an error in a Chilton's manual and a few errors in a Haynes manual, if you have a basic understanding about motors, brakes, and wiring, you will be able see the errors, they will stick out like a sore thumb.
If feesible for you, look into a night or weekend class in basic automotive repair at your local high school system or junior college. Usually students are allowed to work on their own vehicles and you get the use of lifts, specialty tools and have an experienced tech to help and answer questions.
You'll find having a factory service manual to be one of the best investments you can make as far as maintaining your truck. It will provide details that the Haynes does not. They can be pricey, so check out amazon, craig's list and ebay, you may find a good deal on a used one.
