    Does anyone know the actual oem cam specs our 3RZ?

    like what comes with all cam card the detailed specs?

    The closest I've found was LCE as a comparison on their stage one cam just not all the specs on the OEM cam??

    You looking for lift and duration?
    Can’t say I’ve seen that spec on a stock cam.
    I’m sure it out there, but I never seen it.

    Yes all of the detailed specs like what you get with aftermarket cams. My block is still at the machine shop, once its back ill absolutely measure it with the mods I've made just wanted to mess around with this site, this a very cool high-rez online cam degree wheel. Milling the head and deck height will change everything. As much as i love them I dont want my Inconel valves and pistons kissing at 5000 rpm. https://www.blocklayer.com/degree-wheeleng

    thank you for that. Once we remove material off the head, the head chamber volume decreases, the valves are going into the bore how ever much you removed, block decked, head gasket thickness, everything gets tighter pronto. Since these are already interference engines, we must truly measure our unique engine to know how much our stock cams, valves have increased down into the bore towards the interference pistons. Just ran across that cool website where you can enter cam parameters to change things, valve cam timing etc.

    I don’t know how the 1st gens are?
    But on a 2nd Gen, if you mill more than .010” it will throw a crank/cam code and go into limp mode.
    You have to run a custom gasket to make up for the milled heads.

    No, they don’t make adjustable gears for the 4.0 engine.
    I was stating that, just in case.
    If they have adjustable gears, you should be ok.
