Part number request: VVTi 2JZ-GTE standard dim rod bearings

[halllon]

Hey guys,

 

Does anyone have the part number for VVTi 2JZ-GTE rod bearings? I have problems figuring it out from ToyoDIY. I need all six, so preferably a set if that comes out cheaper. They have to be standard dimensions.

 

By the way, are VVTi and non-VVTi bearings the same part number?

 

Thanks in advance.

You need to determine what sizes you need as they aren't always a uniform size across all six rods from factory. No difference between VVTi and Non VVTi.

 

 

 

Bearing. Thickness Size Mark Inches (mm). Part Number.

 

 

"1" .......... .0590-.0591 (1.498-1.501) 13041-46013-1

Thanks Miguel! Do I have to actually measure each bearing, or is the mark (from 1 to 5) printed/marked on the back of the bearing?

You could put a set of ACL bearings in it? They are good and easily available by mail, at a decent price. On a used engine going by the original bearing codes is pointless, you need some known shells and a micrometer, with a VERY good feel for using one, too. We are talking six tenths of one thousandth of an inch difference, thickest to thinnest. Plastiguage will work too. Save some grief and fit the ACL ones unless you are 100% sure of making accurate measurements.

As Chris has mentioned above, you need to have a measure up of the crank and rods to choose which bearing gives the required oil clearance. The number mark system Toyota puts on the bearings, rods and crank, doesn't take into account wear or re-grinds.

Cheers guys, I'll forward this thread to the tuner helping us out and we'll take it from there.

We'll measure them up and order accordingly, either from ACL or Toyota.

 

What is the correct rod bolt torque settings for stock VVTi 2JZ-GTE rods and bolts (as per the Toyota manual)?

 

I have found these numbers for the 2JZ-GE NA engine but I don't know whther GTE numbers differ:

 

Connecting Rod Bolt

Step 1 .................................... 21 lbs/ft (29 nm)

Step 2 ........................... Additional 90 Degrees

 

Thanks in advance!

All rods are the same, as are the torque settings, although I would strongly advise you fir new ARP rod bolts rather than re use old stock ones. ARP shells are either stock or oversize if you have ground the crank. I wouldn't use a ground crank, good stock size secondhand ones are very cheap.

Cheers Chris!

 

What is the price of ARP rod bolts (as compared to stock ones), and do they allow higher revs?

 

We will reuse the old crank as it has done roughly 40k kms and is as new. We are only replacing the rod bearings as a safety measure as we have already split sump.
