What model year?
Surely youd be best buying a manual for it? Not trying to sound clever but it would help with lots of things and they arent very expensive? Save yourself lots of time and effort too.
Here are the directions for a 4A-GE engine:

The procedures, tools, and shim kits will basically be the same, however, valve clearances may be different so you will need a manual for your particular engine (available at the library or at auto parts stores).
You will need a special tool to compress the valve springs, a vernier caliper or micrometer, feeler gauges, the usual assortment of hand tools, and an assortment of shims.
If you have not done a lot of engine work before, this is probably not the vehicle or operation to learn on.
