    Default 2tg and 3tc bearings interchangable

    hey been getting the rebuild parts for my hybrid build,

    are the bearings interchangable between 2tg late model and the 3tc series engines?

    mains
    rods
    3t camshaft / 2tg dummy shaft
    thrusts

    now i think rods and thrusts are interchangable but just want to confirm the mains
    and confirm the 3t camshaft / 2tg dummy shaft ( 2tg only uses the first 2 bearings) are interchangable ie - size and oil hole location, as it seems easier to source the 3t stuff.

    cheers!

    style,

    Simple answer:

    Yes.

    They are all the same, just select the correct size for the journal size as per River's Mega T series thread.

    I'll second that.

    I have 3TC bearings in my 2TG as I got them cheaper.

    The 2TG rods and 3T bearings should be the same.

    If you decide to upgrade to the 3T-GTE rods then youwill need to redrill the oil galley holes.

    1973 2T-G Celica TA22, aka "The Unicorn".
    1975 2T-G Celica TA27 GT
    1976 2T-G Celica TA23, aka "The Colonel".
    1985 3F Auto FJ62 Landcruiser
    1989 7M-GTE MA70 Supra, aka "The Poopra"

    Well I never knew that one, Toyman. Suppose having never used the 3T-GT rods I would never have known.

    One for the memory banks.
