Just to add fuel to the fire re metric v imperial.

Has anyone tried to purchase the bolt that retains the camshaft sprockets to the camshaft ?
Here in Oz they are special order ex Japan and 6 weeks delivery.
They are 11mm dia (non standard) and this thread size is NOT AVAILABLE in Oz.

Anyone know where I can obtain 12 genuine Toyota items or socket head cap screws 11mm x 1.25 pitch within 2 weeks ?

At least 7/16 unf is obtainable!!
 
try the wreckers and look at other toyota motors of same ere, chances are they are same, cant imagine they would make a bolt especially for the 1uz?
 
Specialty Fastners Erol? Usually pretty good?

Not available in Australia, special order only ex Europe and Japan.
Even then it is a non prefered size.

Doubt if they fit anything else or Toyota would have a listing. Must have NEW bolts, not going to trust ANYTHING ex wreckers.
Murphy lurks around all open wheelers and give him half a chance he will bite you on the bum!

6mm drive pin is max you could fit in the cam.
 
Wish it was that simple, but it's not. Would have to go to 14 mm or 9/16 unf to get full thread engagement.
Both reduce wall section of camshaft where it is most subject to bending load from the pull of the timing belt.
 
Erol, 2UZ bolts are in stock in Chicago - can get them to you in a week or so. Just need to find out if 2UZ cam gear bolts are the same as 1UZ.

Anyone have both a 2UZ and 1UZ and can confirm?
 
RMS,

Catchingshadows can help you. He has thousands of nuts and bolts in stock. I go to him all the time. If he doesn't have it, he can special order for you and he will make sure u get it in two weeks.
