..... When I was blathering about cams earlier I mentioned that I thought the specs would be in the FSM and was surprised they were so hard to find...

Hey Plainview,


Since I was in my Toyota dealer to buy an oil filter and tranny fluid for my Corolla, I decided to ask the Service Manager if he had access to ANY specs on a factory Toyota 22R camshaft.  He asked "What do you mean by specs?"   I said "You know, like lift, duration, lobe separation angle."  He looked at me with dazed eyes, like he had no idea what I was asking for!  I said: "Try 1994, I think Toyota was still selling vehicles with the 22RE".  He said "We don't have any information on that".  I said:  "You mean you have no access to any web site or any technical libraries?"  He started to look up on his computer and pulled up what looked like factory FSM.  He said:  "Do you mean tolerances?"  I said:  "Nope, just the camshaft profile data."  He acted like that was asking for a secret design or something!  He wanted to know what I would do with that information.  I told him I just do research on camshaft performance to increase power in a 22RE engine.

He acted clueless.

I said:  "Thank you for trying".

So... I don't know where else accept perhaps Toyota Corporation to find the actual published cam specs.
