This is my first time getting a bulk order , all order prior no issues, but even if the baffles where ok, the covers are still damages due to lack of packaging , you should of seen how the items where packaged ; the box was in half and the OCD Works items just in plastic, no bubble wrap around them , roof caved in ; everything was just thrown in their The frustrating thing is there is enough bubble wrap in there, is it really that hard to wrap the items in bubble wrap rather than just sit them on it

So just off the phone with MVP , Usual we never had any back, we sold alot of these ; thats how the OEM baffles are mounted to valve covers , I disputed this , and the OEM baffles are not just 1mm thick either As it was a black friday sale , we cannot give you a refund , maybe store credit or an exchange I didnt loose the head with them but I am not a happy customer , off to OCD works to see what these guys say As for the other missing parts , they have to check Plus they have to check with OCD works about the 63 dollar OCD Works Stainless Steel Hardware Kit for OCD Billet Valve Covers+Coil Pack Cover Combo It just consists of 8 stainless steel bolts for the coil pack cover; 63 bucks for 8 stainless steel bolts!!!! Their website says different! To sum up , what a crock of shit ; I was adamant with MVP to check and triple check my order as I am in Ireland, if things are wrong shipping is $$$

Also on another plus note They also arrived damaged The oil cap is a joke , took me 10 mins to try and free the thing and thats with it off the car, you would damage it or hurt yourself trying to get the leverage to get the cap off if it was installed on the car, I needed to use all my bodyweight to get it back on ; not feasible if its on the car

Too many times I see people loosing engines to debris from Valve covers ; with oil temps , I cannot see the glue staying their too long ; not worth the risk. So at the moment they are an expensive fancy paper weight I am fedup fixing peoples mistakes , Like with the Recaro's I bought ; I paid $$ for their service I expect a reasonable level of quality

I emailed MVP directly but OCD works is on there and I already have a moderator helping me as he knows the OCD Works guys Nothing better than getting it out their for people to see

I just want a refund and stick with my OEM covers, posted up on the Supra Forums , as it is their main client base so hopefully I will get some resolution I will post up a thread about MVP and my experience depending how they resolve this but so far , the way the parts arrived and in the box they did is disgraceful I am not surprised I am missing parts and the above got damaged

Going by facebook , they are pulling a few all nighters so the quality control has been milled out of existence

Thanks Chris, the baffles are about 1mm thick I am trying to get a refund off MVP , at this rate I am fed up; OEM, Bosch, HKS, Garett parts for me from now on

Just out of curiosity what is the best way to attach the baffle ? Weld?

Thanks Chris , so pissed off so far with all the issues with parts I have bought

Hey I got my valve covers , should I be worried about the glue on the baffles ? I do not want it ending up in the oil pump

Sorry to keep asking , maybe I missed the answer Do you still have to adjust the vernier pulleys on the dyno after your work with the degree wheel and dial guage ? or the cams are setup manually or mechanically now ; you just adjust the timing electronically ? Can you adjust the timing on the dyno with a standard ECU?

I have a sard analyse ecu in my BPU Supra , have the car about 8 years now, running 1.2 bar on 95 octane fuel AFR's are all good No issues in 8 years

And here is me thinking , you buy and 044 and swap it out with the OEM pump; didnt realise you needed to rewire the whole system

Thanks Guys , Degree Wheel and Dial they will be, even if I need to get somebody else to do it I have asked around , I am sure with the amount of rallying over here and the usual guys racing in Mondello ; somebody somewhere must know how

How do you adjust the cams if they are out? Chris suggests using the vernier pulleys , so what is the difference install the cams straight up off the factory timing marks and adjust the pulleys on the dyno? If you still have to adj the vernier pulleys on the dyno, will your work with the degree wheel and dial gugage not be a waste of time? Maybe I am missing something

She is still a closed block , never opened Will ask him to check it against a degree wheel and dial gauge Just read By GSC ( Manufacture of Cams in the US) , install the cams straight up off the factory timing marks; they normally recommend doing this then fine tuning on the dyno and see what the graph tells you

Thanks Damien , I am not trying to save time or money just going by what my mechanic said ; he was going to set them up as if I was using stock cam pulleys and to the OEM TDC tolerances (Using the Oil pump/ ignition marker) , set my vernier pulleys to 0; I have a stock ECU so not too sure if you can advance the timing or retard it unless you have a mappable ECU ; maybe his reasoning behind it I am just looking for advise on what he is doing is correct, so far you guys are giving me some Q's to ask him But I am still not 100% clear. He has built a few 2JZ's, I dont have a clue about fitting cams so just learning as I go, I have a general interest in how to do things and I like to quiz him about his reasoning as to why he is doing it this way (I am a nightmare customer ) I have Stock ECU, Vernier pulleys and the Camshafts ; is the route he is taking correct ? Worse comes to the worse I will just not fit the cams, as you said I like to do it right As for Camcard, I have some documentation with the Cams , I presume it is in there, nothing has Cam card written on it I have confidence in my mechanic , seeing the engines he built and his experience with 2JZ's Maybe he is covering up his experience in installing Cams but who in Ireland can you get to install them, I am not too sure who to trust

Sorry I am a bit confused , "preset timing" the engine will settle into own timing as soon as you put the belt on and turn it over Do you still need to time it manually? "preset timing" not just overwrite this?

I am not installing them , will have a word with my Mechanic

I would hope Toyota did a good job of TDC for what's in it , I think it is easier to mess up TDC trying to out do Toyota, I would trust Toyota TDC than no matter what anybody says

Exactly what my mechanic said , I have vernier pulleys but they won't be adjusted ; I am running stock ecu They are 264 cams so engine is still non-interference Is it right in saying an NA engine requires more precise cam tuning , with forced induction , the air is forced in so precise cam tuning does not have to be as precise , oem tolerances are bloody close

I think the Tomei Poncams are? PRESET VALVE TIMING http://www.tomeiusa.com/_2003web-catalogue/e087_cam_1j_2j.html#early2j

Hi What is the purpose, why not just line up the dots on the cam and crank gears and call it a day

Do you need a Degree wheel? Can you not just set them to OEM TDC ?
