    How long do you let your 4Runner warm up?

    Warmup Times Generally a few minutes, at least— until the temp gauge moves a bit. Then slowly creep around until it is at operating temp, before driving to normal acceleration/load Also these run best at 65mph or less for best mileage. 70 somedays

    98 4Runner Constant Downshifting to Maintain Highway Speeds

    So when this happens, how do you correct it? Just simply adjust the cams by hand with belt off and make sure timing marks are lined up after putting it back together? Then turn engine over a few times with 19mm ratchet to make sure they line up again?
