No, the 1JZ cam doesn't have any protrusions there. That's why it worries me. The guy I bought them from said they don't need to be machined so we shall see when I turn these puppies.
I bought these 2JZ cams from someone on another forum. He had them machined to work in a 1JZ. Wouldn't these protrusions on the 2JZ cams need to be machined off as well though?
I feel like they might come in contact with the below section of the head or is this not the case? I cannot...
I did. The one that wouldnt go in went in perfectly fine to 5 others. I also did it the other way around and tried 5 different lifters in that one location and none went in
Ha, I did not try dirty talk but they are all very lubed up. Problem is it wont slide in (she said). I did get it in all the way at one point but there was no play or movement at all like the others. I'm very hesitant to finish the engine and run it with such tight clearances.
I tore my 1JZ down to inspect it and replace all worn parts and gaskets. The norm. Today I'm re-installing the head and I get all the lifters in except for one. I finally got it in a little but it had no movement and was even harder to get out. I thought perhaps it was a bad lifter (even though...
Yeah OD is still chuggin' along.
Kilkare hasn't had any drift events this year but they will be having the street life tour in Sept still (maybe august I forget).
We've been having events more in Circleville lately. It's a high speed go kart track but it's plenty wide enough for cars and it's...
That's one way of doing it!
I have too many vehicles to justify another car for an engine. Really, just a lack of garage space or else I would have done the same haha
The forum I'm most on is OhioDrifting.com. That's where I got the recommendation for here.
Over there I'm just GotBoost though.
Do you ever go to Kilkare or Circleville raceway?
GotBoost2JZ has been my username on forums and email for about 8 years now. I use it for every forum I join. It's just something that stuck. Plus, I don't want to change it every time I get a new car or engine. That's silly
And my 1J will def put out more torque than my SR ever would. I very...
My name's Kyle and I'm from Ohio. I was sent here on recommendation from a member on another forum.
I'm in the middle of a 1JZ swap into my S14. I had an SR20 but I wanted more and RB's don't entice me much more than SR's do. For now it's stock save for rebuilding the engine, 2JZ cams, and...
