Couple cam questions...before I install

[silversup]

Hey I am about to install my machined 2J cams in my 1J. Ran across a couple areas.

1) I thought I remembered which cam is which...unfortunately that fell apart LOL...what is the best way to tell the intake from the exhaust cam?

2) In the TSRM (2J) during install it speaks of installing the cams, then loosening certain caps and turning 90 and 120 degrees...should I be doing this? I assume yes right?

3)Bought 2J cam seals assuming they were interchangeable. I understand they are not..correct? Just bought a set of 1J seals anyways...

intake cam has 2 little tabs on them for the cam position sensors. that's one way u can tell.

check out the sticky i made.

well you answered your own question 3, but i believe i used the 2jz ones.

as far as turning them 90 then 120 i didnt do that. the only time i remember turning it was obviously to check clearance and then turning the whole motor via crank bolt to make sure i didnt lose tention on the timing belt.

good luck

1. as stated the intake cams has tabs on it for the cam sensors

2. no friggin clue

3. the 2j seals would not work, completely different size OD and ID. the easy to come by seals that will work are the cam seals from a 95 camry v6
