I am the owner of this truck. At time of repair it had 118k miles on it. First of all, I'm incredibly grateful to have such a trustworthy and talented technician essentially in my backyard in AMD. He is 100% as friendly and knowledgeable over the phone and in person as he is in the videos. His pricing on the job was more than fair and being able to accommodate me and handle it while I was out of town made it even more budget and schedule friendly. Truck runs like a top and I feel very secure taking it to 250k and beyond. I'm DIY maintenance guy to a certain point. Biggest jobs I've tackled on my own were a timing belt, water pump and motor mount on my wife's 2014 pilot and probably a rear differential replacement in the 2010 Tacoma I owned prior to buying this truck. Never in my wildest dreams would I try to attack this job in my garage. Description of the issue: A loud, intermittent rattle heard from the front driver's side of the engine near the top, which occurred on cold starts after the truck comes down out of a high idle. Typically this started at the 3 minute mark on the trip clock and went away around the 7 minute mark. This timing chain tick first started around 50,000 miles (don't have exact). The truck was still under powertrain warranty. I took it to my closest dealer and gave them the exact description I've written above. Would you believe it? They called me back the day after I dropped it off and didn't hear anything. So off I go to the dealer to show them. Start the truck, wait the 3 minutes and there it is. I'm assuming they started it, didn't hear anything and called it good instead of waiting the 3 minutes as described. Back and forth with this dealership for a while with no answer. Eventually - 3rd drop off I think - they decide to get some regional tech out to look at it. Service manager follows up with me says they can't do anything about the issue because I have an aftermarket oil filter. Never actually told me what the problem was and how they came to the conclusion that the oil filter caused the issue. Here's where I went wrong. Early on in owning the truck I read on a forum that it might be a good idea to swap the plastic oil filter housing for an aluminum one, which I did. This seems to be where Toyota had cause to deny any repairs under warranty. So consider yourselves advised, and I believe AMD has a great video on the subject. The coolant leak was noticed about 6 months ago and the came towers were done proactively since he was already so deep in there. Oil changes on this vehicle were done every 5000 miles +/- a few hundred. Initially I was using Mobil1 0w-20 and then moved to Rotella and for the last 30k Castrol Edge High Mileage with either a Toyota or Mobil1 filter. I'm pretty impressed with how clean the engine is inside. I did try to solve this sticky tensioner issue with a Liqui-moly proline Engine Flush. It didn't change a thing. $5200 is a lot of money, but it's way less than the ~$50,000 it would cost to trade it in for a new Tundra with it's own set of issues. Maybe not everyone's jam, but I'm taking pride in keeping this truck as long as I can.

I’m a master tech for a “high end” company with 45 years experience. There are not many techs I would trust to repair my vehicles. You sir are one of the best I’ve seen. I’m writing this as you know technicians never get the recognition they deserve. Love your channel.

About 10 minutes in, my low back started hurting. As a 'Toyota only' guy, I LOVE this channel.

My favorite KZfaqr, for sure. I just love this man. His integrity, skill, manner of communication and edification, his patience, honesty...on and on. I love him. Thank you, Sir.

I own a 2014 Tundra and have done every one of these repairs myself around 100k. I'm not a full time mechanic and can tell you it took me 7 days to do all three repairs myself. It wasn't easy, and I was in a lot of pain after working on this truck by myself from dusk to dawn for 7 days. That said... I'm still happy I decided to DIY it myself. I saved a ton of money and learned a lot about the 3UR-FE motor. One thing that really helped me was having the Toyota technicians service manual. I did a lot of research, ordered my OEM parts beforehand, and followed the manual exactly and everything came out great. Unfortunately this video wasn't out before I did this job, but I'm sure it will be helpful to the next guy who tries to DIY this repair in the future. Thanks AMD.

Knowing my car is going to be worked on by a master technician like you makes spending 5000 a lot easier. The owner of this car is one lucky guy. Great video as always.

How about a similar video with the 4.6L? 👍

I drove a 2010 Tundra with this engine for 10 years and 200,000 miles. It developed this noise after about 100,000 miles. I lived with it as it only did it cold. It also had the cam tower leak only in the driver side. Not bad, never reached the exhaust manifold so I lived with it. The only replacement I did on this engine was the water pump. I think it’s a great engine. 👍

This man has the best Toyota videos on KZfaq hands down

The 4.7 belt driven version of that engine is one of the very few engines that reached 1,000,000 miles. Toyota brought that engine over from the Lexus side of the house. This owner is smart in that he is taking care of issues well before they become an issue later down the road. Just remember, if it’s mechanical, regardless of brand name, it will need maintenance!

Ahmed you give a new meaning to MASTER Mechanic God Bless.

Perfect timing: I am preparing to do this same work myself (a DIY mechanic). Your video covered everything in one swipe, with far superior insight than other videos. Thank You!

I think a B lot of these problems with the 5.7 is the thin oil recommendation 0w20. When I was station in Bahrain and Dubai, the Land Cruiser 200 is very popular and they run 20w50 and they have so many on the road with over 300k and they never have these problems. You can you tube search “ Land Cruiser oil change in Middle East” and watch them putting 20w50 oil in these engines. I bought a 21 LC and I run 5w40 in it. But that .0w20 is nothing but manufacturers meeting the US CAFE regulations. This same engine in other parts in the world recommend 15w40 in this engine.

You Sir, are a master mechanic! I've done some things in 50 years of car care nuttiness, but I wouldn't attempt this job in my best younger days, especially with engine still in vehicle! The increased complexity of newer vehicles and the training, education and experience required to work on them is really way beyond the capability of the regular DIY. God Bless!

My 2008 sequoia 5.7L just hit 219k miles. Zero issues except the aux port for the radio and had to replace the radiator hose.

The 5.7 liter V-8 is a beast

I just recently went though this work myself. 60k miles on my 2015 V8 Tundra and has been "knocking" on startup for few minutes until oil pressure builds up. Replaced both chain tensioners and the noise has been now gone. The word you're looking for at 41:20 is "intuition". Comes with experience :)

This is pinnacle toyota/lexus repair channel, no one comes even close, incredible work, great commentary, great work ethincs.

I'm pretty certain this is the reason why the first owner of my truck sold it to me. It didn't start making the noise until much later in the day after I drove up to see it before I bought it. Thank you for putting my mind at ease for showing me what the real issue is. Lots of the tundra groups debate back and forth what it actually is. I shared your video with the groups that I'm a part of.

AMD you and Jose have the patience of the Saints, great job as usual.

My 2008 5.7 with 150k has some "tick" and "diesel clatter" on cold mornings for about the first 2 minutes. I generally let it warm up before I drive it. And even then, I take it very easy for the first mile or so. And then- viola! - its totally silent. So far, no leaks. So, I'll just soldier on until something really goes south. I love the vehicle and it runs like new.

I had a 2013 Tundra SR5 and bought it new. During a 10,000 mile routine service, I was told that the cam towers were “weeping” oil. The Toyota advisor told me that Toyota had a run of 5.7 engines that had basically contaminated sealant on the towers. The repair was performed completely under warranty and the leak never returned. I now have a 2019 TRD Off Road and have no issues whatsoever. Great videos!!!

I ended up doing a massive 150K mileage maintenance job on my 07 Tundra last year, and the manifold gasket job seemed intimidating at first. It was a cakewalk compared to doing the plugs (something you would criss-cross in your mind for difficulty on Most vehicles). While overall the reliability is what sold me on the truck in the first place, the packaging on it is Not particularly great when it comes to maintenance. Things that should take like 45 minutes as most on any other vehicle, on the 3UR Tundras can be an all afternoon job. Ditto on the starter and alternator... After I was done with the whole thing, I swore that I would high five the engineers who did the engine, and simultaneously crotch-kick whoever gave the okay on the packaging on this vehicle! 'Shoehorned' for a DIY driveway mechanic sans a garage is an understatement.

I agree with your opinion on flat rate. Was an master tech at a Ford dealership. Some of the flat rates I believe Superman himself could not meet !! Great video and for hanging in even when you were sick. I salute you sir.

I wish when I was a tech 20 years ago, I could have worked for your shop. I might still be doing this work today. You sound like a great shop owner.

Still 10x more reliable than the Hemi 5.7, Coyote 5.0 and the GM 5.3.

AMD, Seeing you beavering away at this 5.7 V8 reminds me of the days when you could get a Tundra with a simpler 4.0 V6. 😉This may be the last 'Toyota' V8 but a new twin turbo, 700 hp V8 is on the way for an upcoming Lexus. 🤩

AMD, as always, an excellent, informative, accurate, and professional video. I am an ASE master technician with 17 years of experience myself, and I have a 14 Tundra, with the 3UR-FBE(flex fuel, no big difference). Currently has 126k miles on it, and I'm absolutely in love with the truck minus one thing. The abysmal fuel economy lol. 😅. It's doable. I'm like, very particular about my work, to the point that I have been called 'slow' by some employers(usually the ones who can't afford me but hired be to get their dead bodies off the lot). However my comeback ratio is legitimately 1% over the past 3 years. Do it right the first time!, and that is what I love about you and the unbeatable quality of your work AMD. While I haven't had any issues with my Tundra(other than the notorious rear wheel bearings, have done both), if I do encounter any of the issues in this video, I will definitely be using this video as a guide, or worst case, I will bring it to you, from St. Louis to Chicago(familiar with the place, lived in Glendale Heights for 2 years while in tech college) and glady pay you to take care of it. That's something I legitimately NEVER thought I would say. I ALWAYS do my own work, because after being in this field so long, I have seen first hand many many times 'technicians' that do not deserve that title, not even close to it. You, AMD, have my trust. That's rare, lol, I still count my money when it comes out of the ATM 😂😂. In fact, I would love to work for you. Your shop is immaculate, and looks very welcoming and positive. That does A LOT for worker morale. I'm sure as you know, the differences between a clean shop and a dirty one are important in instilling pride in your technicians, or destroying it with the 'it doesn't matter' attitude. Keep the content coming AMD! You've got a lifetime subscriber here. Actually, I'm going to make the trip to come see you in the near future. I still have friends up there and will just make a weekend out of it. From tech to tech, I appreciate you, and unfortunately the bad apples can spoil the bunch and sabotage the minds of some first time customers because they think a professional, honest technician is 'too good to be true'.

I have done 2 starter motors on the UR series V8. One was in a tundra, the other in a sequoia. It calls for 5 hours, and it took me about that long to do it. Toyota says you should remove the exhaust manifold, I didn't do that because both trucks were rusty. It was a pain both times, but if that was the hardest job I have to do, then everything else should be pretty easy. Love your videos, I have learned a lot from them that has been helpful in my job at a toyota dealership.

This is why I love AMD, even though he loves Toyota's he isn't your typical fan boy who think Toyota can do no wrong, and every single make and model, is perfect and reliable. AMD is down to earth and will say it like it is, some Toyota models and engines are straight up trash, and have some major issues before Toyota fixed them.

Just had my 2014 tundra engine with 175k miles repaired for a head gasket leak in between the 5/7 cylinders. They did both sides and the gasket between 6/8 cylinders was on its way out too. While it was apart they found a small coolant leak coming the of the heat exchanger. Got it repaired, new head gaskets, new timing chain guides and tensioner's. Had a new water pump put in and new belt idle pulley and tensioner and new plugs. Dealer had my truck for 5 weeks and just got it back.

You blow me away sir but, this kind of detailed work could not be trusted to 95% of the immature/irresponsible mechanic’s out there. You have my utmost respect! I would love for you to do a complete go through with my 91 Toyota Soarer ( Lexus ) RHD 4.0 LTD here in Dallas TX. I just can’t trust anyone here to understand this car! Now that would be a video project lol 😆

Labour hours - I remember my first Neon and new head gasket every 52k almost like clockwork - they charged like $800 the first time, then $200 with warranty support by then, then free with had metal head gasket upgrade included. But I talked to the guy the last time and they had the car back to me - it was only a few hours - and the Service Manager said that they had done this repair so often they did it in like 1/4 the time it should - and I remember him saying - we learned a way to not even need to break it all down like we used to.

I just made my first appointment with AMD's shop. I live about 25 minutes away from him. I just completed Toyota's free maintenance on my 2023 Corolla Hybrid. Just going in for an oil change. I hope they can handle it! 🤣🤣🤣

188k miles on my 2014 Tundra. Just had my first “major” problem last week. My brake master cylinder took a dump. Only other issue I’ve had was a cracked radiator cap last summer. Easy cheap fix. Did the driver side cv axle at 120k miles (I have a 2.5” lift on Bilstein 6112’s so probably a bit premature due to the lift). Passenger side CV at 170k miles. Otherwise, fluids, brakes, tires, and a couple batteries. My old Tundra (2013 double cab, I traded for a crewmax when we had kids) had the cam tower seal issue when it was pretty new at around 30k miles. My 2014 never had the cam tower seal issue. We just traded my wife’s 4runner for a Sequoia. I was looking at the new ones, but I’m concerned with the issues they’re having with the new engines so I decided to go with a 2nd gen 5.7 instead.

$5000 to get another 250,000 miles out of this truck is a bargain.

Best video ever! I hate cam towers! Toyota design flaw. My dealer had to reseal both towers that were leaking. 4.6L 2013 Tundra at 38,000 miles. Not a DIY job. It took them 1 one week. Go back to one piece head or use a gasket Toyota.

I'd take the DAY OFF, too . . . This is one complicated repair. I guess prospective mechanics always come to the realization that 'this job can get complex' at times. Do I want to continue in this career choice? Hats off to the few, like CCN, who love it and continue on to mastery.

I wouldn’t hesitate on dropping 5k on my tundra to get another 150k miles out of it! Finding someone you trust to do this job is the hardest part.

Wow! This is what separates the men from the boys. I agree with the owner. Do it once, do it right. Jose' is awsome, isnt he? Great job as usual AMD. 👏 👍

I had a 09 ls 460 that developed the exact tapping noise at start up that progressively got worse but cleared up at at full temperature. Along with other issues it would have costed me about 10k to fix. Ended up trading it in. Loved the smooth and top end power of this motor.

@TheCarCareNut: Thank you for sharing this video with us, your subscribers. It shows how intimidating that job is. And now if you don't mind, would you please tell us, your subscribers the total cost of this repair? We own a 2016 LX570 and it would be good to know what this repair job would cost us. Thank you again!!!

One complaint: why there are not many AMD in this world!? I need one near me!❤

This guy is a genius. I wish I could clone him and transfer him to TX. No Toyota certified mechanics even close to this knowledgeable in El Paso. It seems that Toyotas main engine issues are leaks. My 2008 5.7 Tundra has had a cam tower leak and a rear main seal leak, both repaired. Other than that, no issues.

I am ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED of one thing outside of frequently oil &filter changes,yes the Extended Warranty.. Absolutely beyond a Shadow of a Doubt. Why absorb several thousand in repairs IF the warranty covers ? Yes I own the World Renowned Diesel 2.4 Hilux and have No problems, and will be buying a New Toyota Pass car soon. Yes the extended warranty will be on my To Do List. I enjoy your videos immensely. God bless and keep you.

Your hard work ethic, your admiration of modern engineering, and your desire to help people has brought you very far.

Honestly to pay 5k to keep this engine in the mint condition is nothing compared to paying 100k+ (CAD) for a newer design. This V8 if maintained properly will outlive(IMO) many new modern models. The owner of this truck is so lucky to have you to look after the engine!

I have a 2008 Tundra that I bought new. It currently has 186,000 miles on it. For the first 150,000 miles, the truck was flawless. At that point I noticed evidence of bed rust trying to bubble up through the spray in bed liner at the beds mounting points. It rusted from underneath and I had it fixed. Frame is good. Then the secondary air injection valves seized, an expensive fix. I have a cam tower seeping oil on the drivers side that has been happening for a long time but it has never leaked down to the exhaust. Other than those few issues the truck runs great and is still sporting the original water pump, tensioners, etc. Thanks so much for doing this video and all your others…awesome work!

Don't apologize for your labor charges ...A lot of times , labor times were probably carried over from other previous engines ,(models) and may not be updated appropriately. Also I feel they figured the times with engine off the cars.. hope you are feeling better. Great job by the way, blessings!

I have a 2014 that had the tensioner issue at about 70k. I added Seafoam to oil over span of 3 oil changes or 15k miles and it worked!!! no more chain slap now have 125k and all is quiet on the western front .

I'd love a similar video on the 1UR-FE. They seem to share many of the same issues mentioned here. Now, if only Ahmed knew someone with a 1UR-FE powered vehicle. "Cough, cough..GX460..cough.."

One thing I like about this guy is he is happy to acknowledge that Toyota vehicles have issues. He has stated that he stays very busy repairing Toyotas. Now, maybe not as busy as some other techs that service other brands. Just because that vehicle has a stylized "T" on the front doesn't guarantee anything. Recalls for rust, stuck pedals and the fact Toyota needed a 5 BILLION dollar bailout just underscores they have their issues as well. Scotty Kilmer calls them out as well when they need it. GREAT VIDEO!

I watched this 2-3 times and hearing now the how shops charge (45:00? mark). I remember one shop I used to go to always slammed with work from other shops. :D Looks like some shops (nicer) charge the "book" price and send the work to another one, then they split the difference. So much work that now I don't go to that shop and learned how to work on my car since they charge way high now. :(

I don’t say this enough, just to push the like button: Really appreciate your videos, as a multiple Toyota vehicle owner. ❤

I have a 2015, with 189,000 miles on it and have been going through this same issue with the tensioner for about a year now. My issue started a minute or so after starting up in the winter to heat up before driving. In that time to now, it has gotten progressively worse, but after my truck is warmed up, the noise subsides and runs great. At the same time, also been stressing about getting it fix for the money and if it’s going to be a ticking time bomb. Im so glad this video has been made to see everything involved in the job and knowing the chances of catastrophe failure is there but not as high as I thought. I have 2 quotes as of now, 1. Being $4,700 and 2. Being $2,500. The difference in the two is the Cam gears, roughly $500 x 2 for intake and $450 x for exhaust, plus added labor time. Thank you again for making this video and the complete list of information!

I have fixed this before chain tapping. If you dig into TIS enough AMD, you will find a New Car Feature description of that Tensioner Gasket. The gasket is intended to regulate and improve oil pressure to that specific tensioner.

My buddy has a TRD pro one of the last years they had this engine, im super jealous of it, its an awesome truck.

I had a 2008 Tundra SR5 TRD Offroad Crewmax that I put 240,000 miles on. The engine did not make noise and did not burn oil. No leaks, no ticking, nothing. I traded it in on a 2021 Land Cruiser. Kinda wish I had kept it now. Miss that truck. It and the Land Cruiser would make the perfect combination.

I bought a 2020 Ltd last year with 33k miles. I hope it’s my forever truck. Changed the oil first thing and again at 38k miles along with both diffs. Transfer case. Also had an OEM transmission cooler, drain and refill fluid. Power Stop extreme breaks and rotors, Stellen ran air box, filter and air ride air bags. It pulls my 18 ft . Camper over the Colorado Rockies so I hope I am doing the proper care and feeding. Wish you were my mechanic but so glad and appreciate your knowledge. Thx for sharing.

Wow, I think I'll just stick to oil changes on my 2020 tundra. Thanks for that very educational video!

This is wonderful! I have the same truck in quicksand. Now I know what to keep an eye out for. It's the best vehicle I've ever owned. It's 8 years old and has never broke down. I've replaced the brakes, wipers, and I regularly replace all fluids.

As an owner of a late 90s Ford SOHC 4.0 engine I am familiar with the chain issue. Same sounds and same problem. But a way harder issue to fix. In order to do the pass side the engine has to be removed so i thank Yota for putthing them in the front. This will be helpful when I do the cam towers.

Toyota is well aware of this issue with the Valley Plate/Coolant leak. It's an inevitable repair and a guaranteed $1,300+ job for all 3UR-FE's. There should be a campaign started on this for recall. We should raise it and get everyone compensated and taken care of for this!

I have a 2009 Toyota Tundra 5.7L with the 3URFE engine. I'm repairing some of the problems in this video. I love this truck. Great work, great video. In the future, it would be great if countries across the world came together and built one type of car, one type of truck, one type of van, and one type of suv. I'm not saying it would be easy. It would be difficult because of the different demands of different types of vehicles, safety, and emissions laws, but it would get rid of the complexity of the different makes and models. We would have a healthier world, and everyone could work on their own vehicles and get back on the road because everyone would have the same vehicle. IMO.

When I went from a 4.0L Tacoma (1GR-FE) to the 5.7 Tundra, it made me think " wow just a enlarged 4L!! " The plugs, etc very easy to get to...Still easy to work on except lame design for the oil filter on 5.7L... just wish it was like the 4L ~ unscrew and pop on a new one= no mess! At least the 5.7 doesnt have the ridiculous serp belt tensioner like the 4.0! what a pain to remove- Great video you posted, thanks!

What ever your hourly rate is you worth each single dime of it and more ! May almighty bless you and keep you, as what ever I now know about cars I learned from your videos.

God Bless you AMD. If my 2016 Tundra ever needs work like this, I’d love to bring it to you. Only have ~45k miles and had at least a dozen oil changes so far.

I watch each of your videos several times as unfortunately I am not mechanically inclined. Your channel is the best on KZfaq

i have my 2018 tundra and i always change the oil every 5000 miles and almost hitting the 100000 miles my tundra one day i will like to meet your shop salutes from arizona

The fact that you leave in your (very rare!) mistakes and talk through them with us is a rare thing. You, good sir, are a treasure. 🙏🙏

I work on a Toyota dealership, it is incredible how low warranty labor pays, but for a job like this I would charge at least 24 hrs

My gs460 with the 1urfse has the annoying timing chain tensioner rattle at startup as well. Glad to know its not a grenading type problem. Thanks TCCN!

Have the 2017, love how it looks. The V8 is awesome. Your channel is so helpful👍🏻

One day for family. One day for the Lord's Day. Love it brother!

Can you do a common problem detailed video on a 22RE timing chain and guide replacement? Love your detailed explanations!

This would have been a solid 3 or 4 days for me. Very impressive work. Thank you for the video.

Wow. Your work is incredible and I wish I could find a local Toyota shop that could convey this type of confidence when I bring my 08 4Runner v8 in for service. I don’t have the know how to do myself but know I need it done right. You seem to be a master mechanic

I remember Chryslers original Intrepid and how cool it was that the V6 was sitting correctly in it - so you could see both sides very easily. But not appreciated and so common with V6 to only have easy access to the front 3 cylinders.

IMO by far the THE BEST video on 5.7LV8 legendary Toyota engine. I was debating for a long time whether I should go with 2023 or 2017 Toyota Sequoia. This video and such detailed review proves my 2017 V8 choice of the engine. It is so well built and time proven. Not to mention such an outstanding overview. I mean, very well done review!!!

Great video. Hats off to you guys for the great work you do and the attention to the small details. Wish I lived closer to get you all to do the service work for my Toyotas

Best Toyota tech on YT, real pro. My ‘07 5.7 had to have the air injection pump fixed, it developed the cam tower leak on the psgr side. Still ran great at 212k when a collision put it to pasture. Replaced it with an ‘18.

Thank you for sharing as always. Blessings to your family and your team at the shop.

you were not lying when you said most technicians call off when this job comes up, even your assistant went home sick, lol. But great video.

Bought mine used 2012 5.7 in Feb. 2023. Timing chain noise started approx 2 months later. Put oil dye into motor. Took to local ASE Master Techs for new OEM chains tensioners, guides etc. Truck is accident and rust free. Was sold as a Toyota CPO in 2018 to owner #3. I am 4th owner. 1st Toyota ever owned. NO CAM Tower Leak. But small coolant leak by pipe in front of intake manifold. Price was $3700 cash. Good news is. Small timing cover seepage, valve cover oil seepage, intake manifold area coolant pipe leak, stripped tensioner hex bolt, was fixed "for free" as part of doing this timing chain job. Along w new tensioner/idler pulleys, acc belt, new plugs all new gaskets. Water pump, radiator, thermostat, etc was done by previous owner #3 about 3 years ago already and by the Toyota dealer, have all records, locally owned, not auctioned all over the country. NO WONDER I got this 2012 Tundra 5.7 DC 4x4 with 135k miles, no rust no accidents for approx $5k below market price at that time, $15.4k plus tax, tags. Thought about 'getting rid of' this Tundra for maybe another(?) BUT, better the devil you know, than the devil you don't know.... So I will keep this Fundra.as it gets used off road periodically. I have the old chains, guides and dreaded timing chain tensioners the mechanic gave back to me. I should make a necklace out of it all. 🤔

If possible do show the refrigerant recovery and restoring in big Toyotas. I think they may have special procedures for cool box functions.

AMD, this us one of my favorite videos so far. I've got the 2016 Tacoma, but was so enamored with rhe way you detailed everything. Thank you and I hope you guys are feeling much better. Take care and be safe!😊

Fascinating video car care nut - you are doing the mechanics of the world a great service by going into such detail on such a big job to show us everything involved - I appreciate the work of mechanics more and more as I watch these videos.

Like the longer videos 👍👍

As always great work Ahmed!

Just a additional note, the coolant leak in the valley could be a problem when the coolant starts becoming acidic and “eats” the sealer causing a leak and or eating the metal causing the leak and weakening the metal causing it to crack easier.

your professionalism is off the charts! cleanliness and organization is amazing! love watching your channel !

No sealant between the driver side engine head and the cam tower?

Bro you’re amazing and your honesty is so great in this! I have done this job before but I found it so much easier on my back if you just remove the cab and work on everything with the cab off and engine on the frame, so much room to work with and not a killer on your back and belly, just thought I put it out there! Other than that, great job man love learning from you and your perspective on things

Another outstanding video. Thank you Ahmed for what you do for us Toyota owners and enthusiasts.

I purchased a adjustable engine stand and have a 2urfse (it's going to be installed in a ls460) and thought about cranking the handle to rotate it to replace the oil pan and did not like how the stand was leaning. I agree it's a large engine for it's displacement

Love love love your channel. You are my go-to guy on any issue on my 1st gen Tundra. In my opinion, the best engine 4.7 V8. You and Jose are the best. Thank you.

Another great video of a solid rig !!! Beast of a motor.

Love the audio examples, helps me know what to look for.

CCN is a godsend, the knowledge and professionalism is unmatched. It's also so good to hear someone tell it like it is as there are people that think Toyotas are maintenance-free and you just drive it whereas other brands are all trash if something needs a repair.

This is got to be one of my favorites videos. Great job AMD.
