Hi everyone,
Does anybody know where I can get new Cam buckets? I've got a tapping in one of exhaust buckets that I want to get rid of.
I know they are preshimmed, I know how to ascertain what code of bucket I need, just not where to get them.
Thanks
Direct from Toyota for new ones mainly, you could try Paul at TCB Parts, Fensport used to supply them for around £38 a pop but not sure if they still do.
Otherwise if you list the sizes you need then maybe someone on here might have some used ones lying around.
We tend to measure on the tight side with the micrometers so bear that in mind.👍🏻

Excellent, thanks for that. I'd assume that Toyota wouldn't make them anymore
That's definitely a possibility, they might just be using the remaining stock by now but the 1zz is in such a large part of Toyota's product range they may still manufacture them.
The club has a 'bucket bank'. If you figure out what sizes you need, there's a good chance we'll have them.
You pay for postage and return the ones you've taken out.
If you look in the 'how to section' you'll find all the info you need.
You'll need to lift the cams. Measure all your clearances first and note them down in a little spreadsheet. That way, when you get the cams out you can lift each bucket, check it's size and figure out the size of the replacement.

I have noticed that this how to has skipped the step of using feeler gauges under the cams to figure out the correct bucket that is needed.

No it's in the fourth paragraph!

I didnt notice until after I posted, was confused while reading the bullet points as didnt see it.
The buckets have numbers on them on the underside. Say you have #42 and you want a .05 thicker bucket, you'll need a #47.
Simples!
Will be doing mine when the weather warms up....
