So I have been trying for the past ooooh 4 months at this point to find the shimless buckets I need for my 3rd GEN 3SGTE. I ordered a bucket from a 1ZZ to insure a good fit and that the range of shims would work for my machined head.
the bucket didn't fit... far to small - its completely different size then my existing buckets. I poked around today - visited my Toy dealer, and this board, and the 1ZZ motor has buckets and the 2ZZ has shims so I didn't order the wrong bucket. so I have two conclusions - they ordered the wrong Bucket (possible) OR the bucket size from the 2nd gen 3SGTE is different then the 3rd GEN 3SGTE. I don't know why it hadn't come to me before... I do have a old 2nd gen 3SGTE kicking around so I will unpack it and have a peek. Film at 11. Cheers -------------------- -Mike

Hello!
The 2zz shims work great, both for the 3s-gte engines and the Supra engines as well. You have to messure the thicknes of the bucket incl shim to know what thicknes the new shimless buckets need to be... Me myself are going for the convension this winter. and it never is any problem. -------------------- Mikael /// Sweden
