    7M-GTE oil pump options in 2024

    You can always check the clearances according to the TSRM specifications. The pump will most likely be still within spec. From what I understand the GE pump internals are smaller, there's a FB post explaining this, hopefully you will be able to see this...

    1JZ-GTE camshaft ball bearing

    Wow, super late response but; I ended up contacting the company and the guy who I bought the cams from ( Goleby's Parts in Australia in case anyone was wondering) and they said to just tap them into the ends of the cams and they would bottom out.

    1JZ-GTE camshaft ball bearing

    Hey guys, Happy 4th of July. I've got a question about my cams that I bought. On the back side of the stock camshafts there are little metal ball bearings, thats my guess, now on the new cams there are openings for the metal balls, do I just tap the metal balls in? Pictures below

    Do I need the oil pump when I get my block decked?

    Hey guys, I have a 1jz and I'm rebuilding it and have looked for a while and cannot figure out if I need the oil pump to deck the block or not? If I do need that am I missing anything else to get the block decked?

    The Small Questions Thread

    Hey guys, I'm looking into getting main studs for my 1jz and was wondering if anyone had had a problem with the washers. I've heard that people have issues with the head studs and the washers that come with them and didn't know if that was the same with the mains

    Coolant issue

    Been kinda busy with a new job, and actually forgot about this XD, I don't plan on keeping the engine but its just something that's always been a pain, that has prevented me from going in any trips with it.

    Coolant issue

    I changed the water pump because it died on me the one day. The belt came off and wouldn't stay on because it wobbled. The engine has 259,000 miles on it but the previous owner kept it in fairly good condition, so I don't know if it was ever done. I would think so because the head bolts were...

    Coolant issue

    Ok guys, I've had my supra for about a year now and there's always been a coolant issue. At one point you could drive it for a little bit and be fine, but then it'd start pushing coolant out, so after a while the water pump went, and now it's doing something I've never seen. I got a new gauge...

    '91 NA with an 89-92 turbo wing

    I got everything, one of the studs on the right piece broke off, but I'm going to JB weld it back on. Thats kind of what my cousin and I are going to have to do I guess is just eyeball it. I'm just worried that since it may have gotten hit that the hatch and surrounding area will be off and if I...

    '91 NA with an 89-92 turbo wing

    Apparently when I took it to STS and put it on their rack, they said it was ridiculously out. I'll jack up the rear and look at it anything in particular I should be looking for? I know I have to do the inner tie rods, which I got, and I think the right rear quarter was replaced because the guy...
