whats the deal... 3SGE beams camseals.

[lucasthefallen]

ok im talking specifically about the redtop and greytop variants ( both identical, only difference is the ecu, and the grey top only every came auto )


i'd like to know what the story is with the cam seals, as the epc list's 2 different seals ( so i figured IN is different from EX ) but the epc doesnt specify which part number is what.
has anyone done cam seals on one of these? or perhaps know first hand what the story is?

one seal is grey with a thin "sidewall" and the other black with a larger "sidewall".

any comments welcome

thanks

thin side wall is inlet and thick is exhaust for grey top and red top

Bahaha, I wonder if I've got them the right way around on mine.

[Mr Revhead]

knowing you, mr "plug-and-play-engine-conversion" you prob just biffed them in the right way by fluke

[lucasthefallen]

you wouldnt be able to get them around the wrong way, physically wouldnt fit i think.

If it's any consolation, someone with half a clue could have done and engine swap which required everything fabricated in half the time that I've taken so far.

[Mr Revhead]

that is VERY true

good things take time, so your project must be the second coming!

thats how i started with my 1st red top way back in 99

now i make inlets to suit beams and quads and 2 stage injection setups as it helps for all of the money i have spent on R and R
