1jz cams on 2jz head?

[donnytran85]

:1zhelp: Does anyone know if this works? 1jz cams on a 2jz head? I just cant find the cams for the 2jz... Help? :1zhelp:

Since 2j cams have to be reground to fit the 1j head, I assume that 1j cams don't fit in a 2j head. Plus, you don't want stock 1j cams in your 2j head.

Well I would think that it wouldn't fit. But still I just cant find 2jz cams for my head due to i'm putting a 2jz head on a 1jz block. Thats what i'm doing.. Sorry help please.

If that doesn't work try the mk4 for sale section on SupraForums.

1J cams dont fit on the 2J

1J cams dont fit on the 2J

Why not?

Last time I tried, they seem to fit fine.

2JZ cams don't fit in the 1JZ head because one of the journals is too narrow on the 1JZ head for the cam. This means a 2JZ head has a journal a little wider than the 1JZ cam, which would work fine.

they will fit, but isn't correct. Its like putting a STD size piston in a bored block, itll fit, but isn't right.

the first journal is what keeps the cam from walking forward and backward

Not to mention 1J cams would be a downgrade...

I'd say that would be my reason for saying dont do it, let alone the fact that they wouldn't work.

i assumed he meant the cheap readily available crower 272 smallcores that are for the 1jz.
