Hello I'm in the process of rebuilding the 1mz motor off a 1999 solara for my celica project and I was looking to replace the cams with 3mz cams and I was wondering if this would make a difference? I have herd 2mz cams work but I'm not sure what model Toyota that engine is in.
Thanks for your info and happy new year 2016!!! -------------------- |

yes you can put 3MZ exhaust cams in, however there are 2 versions, you want the early version. the tab on the cam for the position sensor will be in the right place.
yes you can use a 2MZ intake cam. its the 3MZ intake cam that has the VVT gear on it This post has been edited by Smaay: Jan 1, 2016 - 1:51 PM -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
