just got my motot rebuilt and the guy who rebuilt my motor said that he was having a hard time finding the freeze plug that went on the back side of the motor that coverd the camshaft. so i took the motor up to orileys measured the diameter of the hole and it was a little over 47 mm. just could not find it they had some close ones but none that fit. so as i was searching i called toytoa and they claim its a 50 mm plug. my question is does anybody know where to find the right one or know the exact size i need. i have never changed out freeze plugs before and also if sombody could tell me the exact procedure on installing one.

Yep, I really don't really care that much I guess.
It is not really a freeze plug. obviously the purpose it not... but also it is shallower and has a sharper shoulder than a free plug normally does.
Toyota should be able to supp;y it for you.

You want Part # 90331-48010 Expansion Plug for Camshaft. $2.50
The guy who built my motor builds MAFs motors, and I remember him saying he couldn't find any aftermarket, so he had to go to Toyota. ( I wanted all brass freeze plugs, this one ain't brass).

Zombie thread resurrection …
Spike, that part number for sure worked? A machine shop is doing cam bearings for me, they got it all done and need a new plug for behind the cam (not sure an engine shop doesn’t have bins of every plug size). They said the hole is 47.5mm. I just got 90331-48010 part from Toyota and it’s 52mm. Do the sidewalls collapse a little bit as it’s pounded in, effectively making the OD smaller? I’m going to run it to them this afternoon and find out if it works.
That's the correct part # 69-93 1FZFE, 2F, 2H, 3B, 3FE, B, F; 1FZFE ... for the cam expansion plug

Under Product Specifications, says, 'OD = 48"
I've never installed one myself. Machine shop did it. I imagine sides do compress. It's been 16 years, but I do remember watching the engine builder put sealer on the the lip of the plug then tapping it in with some kind of tool that resembled a seal installer.
Make sure you were sent the right one?

Yep it’s all good. Machine shop compares it and it’s exact for the one that came out. They said 47.4mm and the Toyota part is as a little over that - but whatever, it fits!That's the correct part # 69-93 1FZFE, 2F, 2H, 3B, 3FE, B, F; 1FZFE ... for the cam expansion plug
