Checked valve clearance...got nasty suprise?!
Hi,
I have the 2008 Toyota Yaris, with the 1.3 2SZ-FE engine. The first 5 years, maintenance was done at the dealer. The last 5 years I did my maintance myself (oil change, filter, ...) At 8000km / intervals (yearly) Using the Toyota 5W30 oil. Now at 90.000km a check of the valve clearance is recommended. I pulled the valve cover, and measured the valve clearances. Both in- and exhaust camshaft clearances where in specification. But I got worried! That intake camshaft lobes don't look very good to me!? Actually the more I look to it, it looks awfull. The exhaust camshaft looks fine. When going over with my my fingernail, I can easily feel the 'pits' that are in there. I have the valve cover still open. Some toughts: New intake cam and shims? Just keep driving it this way? Manufacturing defect? Oil problem? (hm? I always checked the dipstick regularly, and had no oil burning or a low oil level) What should I do? / What would you do if it's was your car? Attached are some pictures Greetings! |
