Hi. Hope someone can help. I have my 5L-E 2002 167R Hilux and cracked the head. I want to put a new head on it but I have found that I have a .076 gap under my straight edge in the middle between the cylinders. This gap is the same in three locations all at the where the circle of cylinder is closest to the neighbouring cylinder. The gap tapers off as you move away from the middle point.
So my question is ‘is this gap of 3 thousands of an inch (.076) too big for me to consider a new head’. Note I live remote in the Kimberley and no chance to get anything machined.
Thanks so much
