Cam choices....
The lowest cost option would probably be to see if you can find some
good condition OEM cams from a junkyard engine.

Better option would be to get your own cams builtup and then reground
to stock or similar profile. Any reputable engine rebuilder should be able
to arrange this. Just make sure the base circle diameter is not reduced
from stock.

Best option would be the Toda cams if they are in good condition, and
available at a reasonable cost Smile At 264 deg they should still work with
the stock ECU and give you a nice improvement in top end performance.

If you don't want to pull the head, just do a compression test to make
sure everything is sealing properly. 40,000 km is not a big distance for
a 4AGE, and it should be fine.

Cheers... jondee86

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
