Toyota Camshaft

The Genuine Toyota Camshaft (part #13501-31040) is a direct replacement component engineered to ensure the precise timing of valve opening and closing within your vehicle's engine. It is compatible with a range of Toyota and Scion models, including the 2003-2009 4Runner, 2007-2010 FJ Cruiser, 2005-2016 Tacoma, and 2004-2011 Tundra. Specific engine sizes and trims are listed for each model to ensure accurate fitment. Installation of this camshaft involves a detailed process that requires careful attention. It is recommended to consult repair manuals for specific procedures, which typically include draining fluids, removing timing components, and carefully disassembling and reassembling bearing caps and camshafts. Proper lubrication with moly-base grease or engine assembly lube is crucial for lifters and the camshaft before installation. After installation, it is essential to manually rotate the crankshaft through at least two full revolutions to check for any resistance, indicating a potential problem. For specific engines like the V6, careful alignment of cam timing marks is necessary.
