    honing

    Depends on the grit of the honing device and what type and how much bigger it is then your bore. If its a course grit and is significantly larger then your bore it will take more off then a fine grit slightly larger apparatus. Do a little and remeasure. shouldnt make THAT big of a difference.

    Maybe after cool down while the hose is collapsed, just take the radiator cap off and see if the hose goes back to normal, That would be a pretty simple test.

    Build sheets? Does Toyota hide these?

    Must be something different, the RPO codes are needed to see what parts you need to replace when they break, There the codes for what suspension, brakes, paint code, blah blah. Its a sticker more then a sheet, about the size of a credit card.

    Bushing kit
