No those feeler gauges probably wont work. I needed the ones specifically for valves on my 5S. If you use that other set you have to seperate the feeler gauges and you may accidently drop one in the engine and spend the next two days removing the oil pan to retrieve it.

I do have feeler gauges but no Toyota Repair Manual. I'll be needing step by step instructions as well as some photos outlining the process. |
