    completely missing the point.

    Measure it yourself and make up your own mind!

    Bloody hell, someone has a truely sandy vag today dont they. If you bothered to actually read my post you would see i didnt say you built your own engine. I said it was with a failure to build the engine. Learn your english grammar and you might figure out the difference.
    I couldnt care less who built your precious engine, but the dribble you are spouting about "ITS ALL ARPs FAULT, WOE BETIDE ME" is complete garbage. As i said in my post, your original post should read something along the lines of:

    A failure, not your failure. The subject of the sentence is a failure, but the direct object is your engine.

    Regardless. The three sets of cams i have (all aftermarket billets) have no oil gallery inside them, and certainly no drillings on the journals to allow oil to flow through. Therefore the ONLY other option is for them to be splash lubricated. I dont have any stock cams to compare with, so NFI there.
    The 4 smallport heads i have here have no groove in that area at all, but i have no bigports, so possibly they have it there.

    In the end the problem lies with the lack of a dowel.

    Anthony: oil flow was checked by removing cams first, then the heads untill we had oil flow. the last head i removed the head stud first.

    You guys should treat each other with a bit of respect. That goes for both side of the argument.

    That said, Tony (TRD5K) was racing corollas in NZ before most of you were a stain down the inside of your mums leg! I'm not saying that he never gets anything wrong, but knowing the guy myself and even sitting back watching this debate unfold, I would be taking his advice before any of the other participants in this thread.

    The rest of you morons who jumped into this thread just to add your two cents worth of name calling (and no factual information) can all go and fuck off.

    I will personally tidy this thread up later.

    I would say dont get rid of the thread as the actual subject is quite informative.

    But the obvious question I have is which head does this refer to?
    I presume you are talking about the 16V heads not the 20V heads?
    Does it affect all of them?

    Just about to do ARP headstuds on my engine next week as the toyota ones are no longer up to the task.

    It wont be the ARP head studs, My GP A engine has unbrako's for head studs, and we used them in our offroad 4AG engines and never had a oiling problems in 5 years of racing.
    In fact we used to restrict the flow to the head!
