Got this off a 97 3sfe rav4. I'm going to customize a intake manifold body for it at my work(custom sheet metal shop). this is the starting process should look close to a beams intake when in done. Ill be using 0.100" 5052 aluminum for the body with a machined 0.250" T6 aluminum flange. I will most likely make 2 when i take the intake form my 95 GT off. So I'll have one for sale then. Any thoughts?? This post has been edited by doory100: Oct 6, 2014 - 7:40 PM -------------------- |

You should at least check them for straightness and size, which requires a special tool set which probably costs more than the guides do.
Yes, I'd replace them if you're replacing the valves and seals and the head is off. You're also going to need to re-shim all the lifters to spec too, that's a fun process. You might want to PM Smaay about clearance specs, my understanding is you want them at the loose end of the spec so they don't get too tight when the engine is hot. -------------------- |
