Hello 6gc,
I'm looking for a bucket so I can finally button up my cylinder head. It has to be one from a 3rd gen since the previous gens used a shim over bucket valve-train. --------------------  |

order it from the dealer, you need to get the exact one you need or else your valve lash will be out of spec

I tried. Dealer refuses to order parts for engines that were never sold in the states, due to franchise infringements. Lithia on the other hand, quotes a 8 week turnaround time. So since these parts don't wear much, I'd much rather try to buy used. Furthermore the buckets are all the same part number and should be ground to the same spec. If not, a new shim is something my dealer would be able to supply. Hopefully someone on here is willing to part with one

Nah, you aren't bothering me. I've hardly touched the 7th gen, I just completely forgot about this. If I go home in a few days, I'll grab those for you.
