RobSheffield Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Snapped? Jesus, its not like they are thin or anything, must have taken some force! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Yep.... very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 They had a similar problem in the US, the delivery companies were too heavy handed with them and they arrived snapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 They are hollow aren't they? I'm not being daft, that's how they lubricate..? -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsupra37 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 They are hollow aren't they? I'm not being daft, that's how they lubricate..? -Ian They look like solid bars to me but as previously stated I am stupid and no nothing...................... What I though strange was how both cams are snapped in the middle........One my imagination may accept but both and in niegh (probably spelt wrong)on the same place.

supradibbs Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 i always assumed these were solid bar like how the hell do you snap one jeeeez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Are they hollow Ian? I thought lubrication occured through the cam bearings? The small hole in the bottom of the bearing? Forgive me, i have not yet delved into the 2JZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 The bearing surfaces in the head have no lube holes, and that wouldn't lube the cam bearing caps either, whereas I think I recall the journals on the camshaft itself have 2mm or so sized holes to sploog oil out onto the bearing surfaces as it spins. If I recall correctly, there is an oil feed hole on the front bearing surface of the cylinder head that somehow fills the cam with oil and pressurises it. Thinking about it now I realise I don't really know exactly how they oil themselves, or if they really are hollow. Hence my questions They are heavy buggers though, so they can't be *that* hollow. Piccies, Sam, piccies A cross section view will be interesting. Both snapped in the same place -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondango Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Were these Brand new i.e never fitted. ive seen this happed on a pug deisel were the T-belt slipped at high speed, think that when the Cam is actually hot theres more chance of damage in that way. would be interested in seeing the pics. was there any damage on the packaging to suggest any thing had been dropped on them - like a lorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Yeah that was my thought - if the cams were hit/bent hard enough to break surely the packaging was damaged and obviously warranted immediate investigation? The only cam I've heard of breaking was actually in an engine at the time, tightened down too much by Thor and snapped when the engine was turned over... Are all couriers really this sh1t as to be able to break a cam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Are all couriers really this sh1t as to be able to break a cam? You would be surprised! If they left Chris's house in as new condition (I am sure he wouldn't have sent you 2 snapped cams!), and you've signed for them without inspecting for damage then your both going to have to work with the courier to come to a resolution. You might have missed the boat regarding damages as they have to be reported in most cases within 7 days. I hope you guys get this resolved. Let me know if I can be of any help. Gaz.

Ian C Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Actually I'm interested in the cross secion piccy just out of techie interest, not sure if that's ghoulish or not If you still need an intake cam, Jamie, *cough* of course I'll package it in old tyres, and you're paying the postage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
