GrimJack is correct, but I say 4 years and 20K, Don't look for trouble. It's apparent you're motor likes things just the way they are. If the gasket is on it's way out, retourqing may accelerate the problem. JMHO
9. What does the taillight warning light on the console mean? I checked both brake, tail, turn, reverse, and running lights and they all worked correctly. Could it be a relay, or just a cruel joke the car is playing on me?
Sit in you're car and turn it on. Is the light on? If not, turn park...
Although you have some work to do to make this right, you will never forget about the spacer plate again. That's how you learn, everyone screws up at one time or another. Good luck on you're project, one bolt at a time.
Wideband and EGT gauge will tell all. Every vehicle is differant. Don't guess at this stuff unless you're good at putting engines in. Hows the pump? Whats the pressure? Injectors clean and balanced?

On a used motor I bought, #1 and #6 were factory perfect. 2,3,4,5 were worn. IJ told me it was caused by detonation. IJ was right, as verified by other experienced engine builders. New #2 bearings brought everything back to snuff. I got a good spare motor.
I must admit, this is a new term to me. And this hardness you speak of, yea, I checked it. I punched it, I can tell ya it's hard. Intake side is hard too!
IJ, I'm not letting you off the hook so easy. You did'nt answer my questions. The good bearings are within Toyota spec. Weather it's acceptable or not, Toyota service limit is 3 thou. It most certainly looks like oil starvation, but why are #1and 6 beautiful, and all the mains beautiful also...
