Cylinder head
The cylinder head is made of a light, strong aluminum alloy with good cooling efficiency. The 1G-GTE engine has double camshafts (DOHC) and four valves per cylinder (24 valves in total). The 1G-GTE motor does not have hydraulic lifters, so special valve lifters are used to adjust the valve clearance.

Valve clearance adjustment data
Calculate the thickness of the new adjusting valve lifter so valve clearance comes within specified values.
R = Thickness of removed valve lifter
N = Thickness of new valve lifter
M = Measured valve clearance
Intake:
N = R + [M – 0.20 mm (0.008 in)]
Exhaust:
N = R + [M – 0.25 mm (0.010 in)]
For 1G-GTE engine valve lifters are available in 27 sizes to range from 2.00 mm (0.0787 in) to 3.30 mm (0.1299 in), in steps of 0.05 mm (0.0019 in).
