    Default 1UZ: advancing the intake cam does 'what' to the exhaust cam... ??

    see pic:



    now typically, retarding the exhaust cam, and advancing the intake cam will improve overlap.

    on a SOHC this cant be adjusted independantly, advance the intake, you advance the exhaust, the overlap stays the same.

    on a GE DOHC head, they can be done independantly.

    On an FE head, the scissor gear makes the cams act the same as a SOHC... hence you advance the intake, you advance the exhaust, and overlap stays the same. the confusing bit is obvously as the cams are scissor geared, the cams counter rotate. BUT this only really means that the grind on the exhaust cam needs to be 'backwards' in order for the profile to rotate 'forwards' in the converntional twin cam sense. its still 'linked' to the intake cam such that the 2 cams act like a SOHC in an adjustment sense

    well they're still not physically the same cam like a SOHC.. you could just move one of the cams one cog over on the scissor gear to make a rudimentary adjustment couldnt you?

    Does anyone know how many degrees the cam is rotated by moving the scissor gear one tooth?

    360 / number of teeth.. how many teeth they got though? looks like about 40-50 or so.. i guess anywhere between 7 and 9 degrees..

    erm, if you advance the intake one tooth, in relation to the exhaust, but leave the camwheel in the same place in relation to the belt, you will just retard the exhaust cam... you would have to advance it on both..

    That's my point, but I was just curious to the number of teeth.

    the typical timing belt pulley has 48teeth, so i doubt those scissor gears have 40-50, perhps closer to 30.

    and are we measing on a 360deg scale or a 720deg scale? either cae, one cog on the scissor gear is HUGE. hell, one cog on a typical timing gear is huge and unusable...

    sif you didnt know all FE heads were driven by a single gear from the timing belt/chain, with a scissor gear arrangement rotation both camshafts in unison.....

    ..... thats like, the definition of a Toyota FE head






    useful post though, just to clear up any confusion.
    ...... butt scratcher?!

    yeah I just read the other thread.... and have pointed to the most useful information resource in the world for the guys who are trying to understand.

    I have a DPA (digital pulse adjuster) kit.... kinda. Needs a couple of modifications before i can give it to you =P
    Hand controller is complete and functional though.

    Stitt.... has done nothing

    Ed, from the pic above, you can see about 20 teeth on half of the gear, so about 40-45 total.. per 720deg, 1 tooth = 18deg = farkin heaps.

    perfect!! so about 5 or 6 cogs over should sweeten the valve timing..

    Advance. The scissor gears will ensure the exhaust cam has the same timing relative to the intake cam. Prove it to yourself with a dial indicator.

    Get adjustable scissor gear ftw.

    As the infomercial goes, "Set it and forget it."
