Does anyone know of a thread that tells you how position the cams and time the 1jz? I'm in the process of putting my motor back together and this is my next task. Do I just put the cam gears on, then position the cams with the mark facing straight up and put cylinder #1 at TDC? Thanks.

Does anyone know the torque specs for the 1JZ camshaft bolts? I'm in the process of changing my cam seals and putting the cams back in. I'm posting this on my iPhone, so it's too much of a hassle to search through a bunch of threads. Thanks. Edit: Does 15lbs sound right? That's what I...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm in the middle of tearing down my 1JZ and I'm having the hardest time getting the bolt for the harmonic balancer broke lose. I just snapped a half inch drive breaker bar so now im stumped. Is there some sort of trick to this or what? Any help is...

Has anyone ever heard of, or used these from RHDJapan? I just came across them today and was kinda curious about them. Seems like a good alternative to extending it yourself and drilling another hole in the firewall. It would also be good for adding in things such as a piggyback, and you won't...

Will the 7M NA fan/clutch assembley work on the 1JZ?

So my contract is up with T-Mobile and I'm debating on whether I should just get the G1 and stay with T-Mobile or switch to AT&T and get an iPhone. I've been looking into it for a few days contemplating, but both phones are great. So far I haven't had any bad experience with T-Mobile. Either...

I'm going to start my swap soon, just been collecting parts for a while. I was going to get a complete engine gasket set and was wondering which gaskets to replace before I drop it in the car. I know the front and rear main seals, oil pan gasket, valve cover gaskets. But I'm undecided on...

My friend has a Volvo S40 T5 that shakes really bad at idle, particularly while idling in gear with the foot on the brake. We checked the timing, and the plugs and all the simple stuff we could think of. So he took it to a shop that deals with Volvos and they gave him a diognosis of what was...

I searched around for this but couldn't really find anything. Does anyone know anything about the HKS Drager Exhaust with the 1JZ, how it performs, and whether it's loud, or droney or not? I was going to go for the Blitz, but heard it was loud and droney and I don't really want my exhaust to...

I've been collecting parts for the swap for a couple of months now and I'm about to start extending my harness the 18 inches it needs to fit. What I'm not sure about is the sheilded wires. Can anyone tell me which wires they are, or what they go to and how many? I've read that they need to be...

Okay, I think I've seen this somewhere before but I couldn't find it again and I know this has been done before. I plan on starting my 1JZ swap soon and I curently have a W58 trans that I would like to use. What will I need to make the W58 work with the 1JZ? So far I have found that I...

Getting a 1JZ motor set with auto trans. for $1600. Is that a reasonable price? It has motor, auto trans., ECU, un-cut harness with ignitor and maybe some other stuff. Gonna check it out before I buy it, because the first time I saw it I didn't look at it really hard. Also, I don't plan on...

I searched for this but didn't find anything, and I also posted this in the Regional Forum, and on SF but no luck. I would like to be as sure as possible about what I need to do before I buy the engine. I'm getting a 1JZ for my mk3 and was wondering if it should pass inspection or not and...

I'm getting a 1JZ for my mk3 and was wondering if it should pass inspection or not and what will need to be done to it if it doesn't? Or if anyone knows what I need to do to it before I get it inspected to make it pass that would be great. Or will I have to get it "inspected"? I'm in Dallas...
