Mani is going to get polished up or chromed (dunno which yet, might end up just HPC'ing it), and the heads coming off tonight. The ported one is going back in, along with a TRD head gasket, and a set of TODA cams (getting them measured up today if I get time) and same brand adjustable cam gears.

Maybe then I'll actually get round to putting it in the car :lol:

Thats why I'm getting them measured. They are the ones which were in the old engine, naturally assumed they would be an improvement!
The toda site lists a whole sh*tload of different grinds - http://www.todaracing.com/products/toyo ... specs.html - so I'm assuming the ones I have will be of some use.

You may need a lot of Vasaline trying to get that in :D
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Thats interesting, they have listings for Toda '3sgt' cams.

I always thought that Toda was an NA only company.

Just got back from kelfords - cams are 272 degrees, with 9.0 mm lift. Angry enough, but still within the realms of normalness.
