Keep in mind the VVTi is on the intake cam, not exhaust cam.
The GE VVTi motor does not have it.so the GE VVTi cams look identical to the Crower cams. Only the GTE VVTi motor has that thing on the exhaust cam. That weird gear looking arrangement on the exhaust cam is probably to help push the oil around better. Button everything up and you're ready to roll.Īctually the VVTi still works fine. If I remember right, the clearance specs are: Intake.15.25mm, Exhaust.25.35mm Once clearance is checked, put on the pullies and recheck timing to make sure it's spot on. You should know how to do this if you're attempting something like this. Put all the stuff back in and double check the clearances with a feeler gauge and reshim if necessary. Keep in mind my engine is a GTE so there's that weird looking pattern on the exhaust camshaft near the front. It's going to want to stay wedged in there and you're going to have to work it a little bit to remove it. Another tip, use a screwdriver or something to pry the camshaft out. Keep in mind, put a rag under that to catch oil as well. Most of the important stuff is stripped off here. Also, you should be able to slide of the timing belt. On the VVTi cam, make sure you put some rags under to catch the oil or else it's going to go everywhere and leak on the timing belt. It's a real bitch to get in there if you don't have the right tools. I'm glad I don't have to dick around with the GE intake manifold Get under the car, loosen those two bolts on the timing belt tensioner. It took me a whole 10-15minutes to get to this point. Then remove the spark plug cover and the upper timing belt cover. You should loosen the pulley bolts before you take the belt off because that way there's something holding the pulley in place so it won't spin.
Then remove the water pump and power steering pulley(optional but it give you more room to work). A shot of my GTE Setup Start off, remove the accessory belt. I'm saving my money to get 1-2 hours of dyno tuning time when I get my new HKS T51R turbo installed. I probably won't dyno it after I put the cams in either, but I have the highly reliable butt dyno.
Unless BC is willing to sponsor me, then again if they did I wouldn't be paying full price for the cams in the first place lol. The timing belt, water pump, camshaft seals, crankshaft seal, timing belt tensioner, idler pulley and thermostat were replaced (new) on a 1993 Lexus SC300 (2JZ-GE, non-VVT-i). No dyno numbers then to compare? Just the hype for the cams can the car feel faster LOL And the idle lope I would do before/after dyno comparisons, but I don't feel like paying to dyno the car twice.
