Hey everyone i own a 92 celica gt with a 5sfe and recently blew the head gasket so during the tear down process i didnt really mark the cams, and im in the process of putting it all back together now but i have a slight problem with the cams, when installing them i know you have to align the marks on the gears but what i do not get is which ones and wouldnt the cam be hard to install since it would try to push the valves open any help would be much apreciated thanks

Check the 3rd & 4th Gen Camry forum here in Toyota Nation. There is an excellent thread in it regarding the process of putting the engine back together again. I wish I could provide some pages from the shop manual to you, but I just learned that is copyright infringement and I can't do that anymore.

I can tell you that there are two sets of marks on the cam gears. One set is assembly marks (which you would not use) and the other side is the timing marks (which you would use). A thread in the Carmy forum will show this clearly.

Use this to ensure your camshafts are aligned properly to each other:

thanks alot i got the cams in and i ran into another problem vacuum hose routing, i have the diagram for the lines but i have 2 lines that come off of a hard line that is bolted to the back of the intake and the hoses were just pluged off where do i route these lines?

Are the 2 rubber vacuum hoses that are plugged off, that come off this hard line bolted to the back of the intake manifold, the only two rubber vacuum hoses that come off this hard line?

I will probably have to jack my car up and get under it to see what these might be, which I can try to get at later today.

You can show diagrams, you just can't make posts or threads containing a direct link to Toyota Factory Service Manuals.

MR2Jedi, so you mean I can copy and post pages from a service manual in this forum, I just can't provide a link to an online service manual in this forum? Do I have this understood right?

That's correct. And you want to avoid anything that may say it came from a Toyota Service manual.
The diagrams are fine.
