Hoping to get the exhaust valve today. Looks like we will get our first winter storm before it's reassembled.

Gaskets and exhaust valve arrived today. Not sure how I am going to check the valve seat.

I decided not to mess with the old head, as the valve seat needs grinding and the adjustment requires shimming. I ordered a rebuilt head that comes with the cam shafts and valves all pre adjusted for $275 plus $20 shipping.
In for a dime, in for a dollar? Do I order new high compression 94 pistons rings and rod bearings? Will I find a Toyota engineering surprise when I try to disassemble the oil pan? OR should I just put the head back on.

An interesting car. Never have seen one closely, ridden in one, or heard about it before now.

Installed the cam shafts and timed it. It took a few tries as there are two sets of marks that look the same, also there is an anti-backlash device that needs to be preloaded. I'll bolt down the manifolds when I get back from the DMV. Going to licence the Honda Insight, insurance is only $74 a year more for it.

Just went to the link mentioned and it looks like they show the exhaust manifold on the same side as the intake cam.

Hi Dave,
The 4A-FE engine is a cross flow head, the exhaust is in front and intake behind.
