2004 IS300 and Supra - Rod Bearings
Hey All,
So I need a Mark '2' rod bearing for my car (pounded it out; low oil). So I called Lexus and they don't have any in the USA and would have to order from Japan (3-4 weeks). Since I need my car back on the road ASAP, I was thinking I could use the rod bearing mark '2' from the 2JZ-GE 1997 Supra engine, which just so happens to be available for overnight delivery.
Should this work? Here are the pages from the shop manuals:
1997 Supra Rod Bearing Measurements:
2005 IS300 Rod Bearing Measurements:
As you can see, all the measurements are the same, so I figure, with the same engine code, and same measurements, this should work. The only thing I can think of is that the materials might be different, but then again, its the same block, so it should work.
Thanks all.
