Im currently working with a fellow board member in canada (canada is the ******* of the world BTW) about getting some Billet Cams made up for us. TRD a few years ago made an aftermarket cam that is VVT-I enabled so we wouldnt lose that. Unfortunatly finding one new or even used is impossible. So im researching the durations and lift of the TRD cams and will pick one to have made into billets. Luckily, the only cam we really need in VVT-I is the intake cam. Ill keep you posted on how that goes.

I've yet to find anyone that actually knows how to set up the timing properly, including a mechanic at toyota. It doesnt have the usual markings etc. to set it up. I thought I had it right originally, however I was obviously wrong.

My Engine was running perfectly before he pulled it, if you would like, i can take pictures of the cams and cam gears and where they are set for you to copy. I actually havnt had a chance to check and see if the timing belt is still on so ill check tonight.
