I was told to use the COP from the 1zz but they dont fit into the holes and suggestions?

We usually shave around it so it fits inthe tubes9

I can cut into it with out damaging it?

Just use sandpaper to reduce the diameter until it fits. You won't hurt the coil, just keep test fitting the plug until it gets in.

thats alot of sanding! I was thining dremel?

Should only be .4 mm reduction in diameter. You could dremel, but you'll have an uneven finish and may puncture the casing. Ideally you would turn it on a lathe to reduce it's diameter like Sam Q did, but a lathe isn't exactly a household item.

I'll be honest I haven't had to do it yet, my COP's are actually still in the mail, but if you use a rough grit sandpaper it should work fine.

I'll give the sand paper a shot

Good luck dude

sanding them on a belt sander will work...by hand you will be there all week just doing one....i machined mines into the metal casing under the plastic because my heads spark plug tubes had to be modified to clear my cams lobes...no problem the metal casing under the plastic is the insulator.

Sanded all 4 down by hand and fitting in about 15 minutes. It's not a big deal. Just wipe them off with a damp cloth between test fittings.

My god son, I want those cams

Custom 300 duration/10.7mm lift made by Toda...never available to the public due to the mods needed to make them fit ....they were specifically made and used on their N2 AE111's back in the day...about 1.5mm more and the lobes would break thru the spark plug tubes...thus the reason i had to shave one side of my COPs

got ya! Nice!

How did you manage to get ahold of that?

I lived in Japan for 5 years and still got friends who have friends so they were purchased thru a friend

Just an FYI for anyone reading this. It took me a hole 30 mins to sand them down using 60 grit sane paper. Thanks for everyones help.

Perhaps u can post some pics of the finished product

Of the coils or motor?
