1JZ Cams Question

[supra_kid101]

How do you tell which cam is the intake side and exhaust side?

 

[suprahero]

The intake side will have cam sensors on it.

Actually they aren't cam sensors, but it will have two protusions on them that line up with your cam sensors..........sorry, I don't know what they are called.

I can't remember, but I also thought they had an "E" stamped in for exhaust and an "I" for intake, but don't quote me on that.

I've been looking for an I or an E but no luck so far. So the little notches between the lobes on the one cam are for sensors?

yea there should be 2 small notches for the cam sensors. one for the front cam sensor and one for the back cam sensor

stock head... or stock twins? stock everything? You will see no benefit running anything larger than ~264's on stock everything. Any more than that and you're just killing spool for no power gains.

just a stock head

Stock Castings or bone stock head (stock springs, etc)?

Stock casting, very large I'd assume. Probably ~ 11mm of lift before you'll have to starting thinking about machining the head to fit the lopes

Bone stock head. I wouldn't go over the Crower 264s (8.7mm lift)
