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
