Can anyone help how many codes are there for the big end shells, as got a set from Toyota, but after opening the pack and measuring them there thicker then the old ones. And i no that Toyota wont take them back as ive opened them! was wondering if they have given me the wrong ones as i gave them the engine codes!!

It's not as easy as just giving them an engine code as there are different thickness's.

 

Basically you have to measure the diameter of the outer diameter of each of the crankshaft pins and measure the inner diameter of each of the big end bores of the con-rods. You then need to order the bearing size for each big-end that gives you the correct oil clearance.

Did you measure up what sizes you require?

As I said, it's not as easy as just asking for some 'big end shells' as they sell something like seven thickness's for the 2JZ engine to enable you to make sure you get the correct oil clearance.

If the crankshaft is severely worn then you can grind the crankshaft back to being round and then buy the oversized shells, which again I think come in something like seven thickness's.
