I think he should not post anymore videos on this subject..

Make sure the timing chain has slack (clearance). This will prevent crankshaft gear from getting out of position. Timing chain must have slack at the camshaft sprockets. Make sure timing chain is on crankshaft gear at all times. I hope this helps.

I bought this car without knowing the history of repairs. At that time it had high mileage, can’t remember exact mileage. When I buy a used vehicle I always replace timing belt or chain. Most vehicle owner never do this required replacement. Yes, I rebuilt the head. Had a misfire, due valves. Reason why it’s so clean.

@@713jtmechanic8 Mine has high miles too. Severe leak out timing chain cover gasket. I dont have chain off yet, I just assume it needed a re-do. Curious to see if this was unnecessary for me. What are you using to clean all that ? Anything that saves me a million hours of manual scrubbing?

@@WhatAmIGonnaGet I used brake cleaner when I clean up the timing chain area. Make sure the camshaft seals are not leaking and crankshaft seal. Usually, when the timing belt or chain area is oily or dirty it’s seals leaking.

@@713jtmechanic8 I haven't been into my engine to see the cam seals yet. Tried to order them from Toyota parts website, could not even find them to buy. I have to check into that, thanks. What I did find was an o-ring in the valve cover, on a pipe that looks like oil is pumped up to, and oil rain-down on the camshafts. Mine looks ruined, so I'll just replace that easy $1.00 part. Now if only they made valve cover out of glass - I could take a peek at all the fun that goes on.

I am not familiar with that model, since I am in the USA. However, timing chains on toyota's last past 170,000KM. The reason I replaced timing chain on the Celica GTS was not for worn issues. I had to remove it to rebuild head. Make sure the model you are asking about has a timing chain. If it has a timing belt. I highly recommend to replace belt around 60,000 to 80,000Km.

@@713jtmechanic8 I understand, thank you very much for the quick response and advice. :)

I did not have to unlock the VVti. I don’t recall needing to do that. It’s been a long time doing this work

I started out installing timing chain on the crankshaft as the last procedure, however, I was experiencing issue with the camshafts sprockets moving tooth. Either on the exhaust cam or intake cam. The best solution for me was to install timing chain as seen on my video. As a long time technician I witness many other techs with different approaches on repairs and the repairs are correct. I would like to know more about your method. If you can elaborate on your method to install timing chain and write it on the comments. I think this will help the 2zz community. I really appreciate it you took the time to write a comment. Lets provide repair information that can help others. Thank you Doginu :)

Yes, I am sure I don’t have correct tools. My intent is to help anyone with this engine that is in my situation and yet perform the job properly . Thank you for the reply. 😊

Make a video of it please
