I successfully replaced my VVTI gear last weekend on 09 Matrix using this video as reference. Runs like a champ, startup rattle gone. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

It's amazing how mechanics can easily understand each other without a word being spoken.

The zip time on the timing chain was honestly the smartest move i've seen. It makes it so you don't have to remove the timing cover to work around the chain while removing the cam shafts. Amazing!

I just replaced the exhaust and intake gears on my 2010 Pontiac Vibe. 140K miles on this 1.8L Toyota engine. Thanks for the great video. Be careful so that the rocker/followers don't fall off when installing the cams. I took my time and spotted one had fallen off. Whew. The parts I used are: Exhaust: 13070-0T011 Intake: 13050-0T050 If you rotate the engine a few times the factory timing marks on the chain will line up with the marks on the gears. Other than that, if you have not done something like this before, just watch this video, read the comments, maybe find some other videos or instructions and get a comfort level before you dig in. Take a lot of photos with your phone before disassembling as a reference to where everything connects.

I also used this video as a reference to replace my Intake vvti gear. I did it in approximately 3 hours and took my time I used an aftermarket gear from standard automotive vvt530. The heavy deep timing marks didn't line up but the light shallow timing mark did... it also lined up with the yellow dot timing mark in the middle of the camshaft. Remember to torque the camshaft timing gear bolt to 40 ft lbs with the gear unlocked. Then you can lock the gear before installation of the cam shaft. All in all a successful project, and my 09 corolla S is purring like a kitten on startup.

Just for reference, the service bulletin from Toyota about this issue is T-SB-0087-09 and the Toyota part number for the intake camshaft gear is 130500T050

Not sure what you were doing with your timing but if it doesn’t line up just keep rotating. Every 270 turns it’ll line up.

Not only do the job , but tell customers to change the oil at least every 3 To 5 Thousand miles and those gears will last more. It’s all in the oil . To keep all parts running great . Thanks for the video, great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏

Gracias te entendí mejor que en los videos donde hablan.

18:30 forgot to attach the metal bracket to clip the cable afterwards. Not a big deal though. Thanks for your videos, they are very helpful 👌👍

Any information regarding Toyota Corolla Altis 2005 1zz Fe swapped to 2zr with cvti? Any reviews!

Any reason to replace any gaskets, cams, the tensioner, or any other parts while you’re in there? Also, what is the part number for the chain guide (if that’s what it is called)?

If only a rattle at start up, does this job need to be done? Is there a danger of valve train failure of some sort? What's up with specifying torque for sprocket to cam bolt @11:00 and then using a breaker bar? Thanks for posting.

What us that braket you added and where can I fine it ?

Why not do one at a time ? Then you don’t have to zip tie the chain up.

Excelente trabajó 👍

Just be safe and replace the chain too while you're at it.

ماشاءاللّٰه‎

Thank you. Excellent work. Now why changed exhaust camshaft gear ? I thought only intake camshaft gear required. Please advise. Thanks

Great teaching video. Did you lock the timing gear after tightening the bolt ?

Awesome vid...gearing up to do 09 vibe thanks Edit: chasing my tail around trying to get the chain "marks" in the same spots as the vid....till I realize the "marks" don't matter as they are for initial set up only...oh boy lol

Hi, what is white sealant you applied on the gasket face @19:58 before putting the valve cover back to the housing please?

Some videos on KZfaq say you have to unlock the cam sprocket before installing how legit is that?can someone explain please

Love this content 😍

When installing the cams and to pu on timing does the marks have to be on orange links on chain or 3 links before

Hi and thank you for video. big help. Toyota came up with updated version of intake cam gear with item # 130500T050. I was told it comes locked. I have to unlock it, torque it on camshaft, then lock it !! is this correct ? i am confused here

i just cant understand why in some video the chain mark line up with the line on the gear and here there is a gap of 3 beetween the line on the gear and the mark on the chain , why you didnt line them

Thank you for this video my friend. I'm in the middle of this job. Why did you remove the small circular oil gasket and then replace it? It doesn't look like you replaced it with a new gasket. Did you just remove and re-install, or did you flip it over? IIRC the gasket is not symmetrical from front to back.

Please help Dr! Thanks for the video I've been watching a re-watching since I've gone wrong somewhere. I'm at crank, no start on my 09 Matrix 130k after changing only the intake cam gear. I made sure to torque to 40 ft lbs before locking and lined up the orange links with the marks on the gear. I rotated it by hand many times to make sure of timing. I then re-assembled. After cranking and no start I check compression and I got: Cyl1:40psi Cyl2: 30 psi and then 60psi on 3 and 4. I then sprayed carb and choke and put some penetrating fluid down the spark plug hole and compressed the valves, especially on the exhaust side and cranked the engine. This raised compression (wet) to: Cyl1:90 2:60psi 3&4: 70. The car ran before I began the job is there anything I'm missing? Is the low compression causing the crank no start?

The 2.4 had defective rings hopefully these aren't the same. Or this won't be the first phaser replacement

Why did you replace both cam gears? I thought only the intake cam gear has a service bulletin being defective at 80K+ miles on cold starts. Also, after the new Cam gear is reattached to the camshaft and before reinstalling back in the head, do you need to unlock or lock the cam gear for timing purposes?

Sir good morning may i know how much the torque pressure of the two bolts on bearing black color and the silver in ft.lbs or any. thank you.pls. reply.Have a good day.

Mine is like that.. I need to get it replaced too

What Size Wrench are you using on the harmonic balancer pulley bolt?

What happened to the top chain guide bracket? The 2 bolts were there but the guide and bracket were not.

Hello, is this possible on a 4zz motor That has a single VVT-i gear ?

Do the cam gears need to be unlocked before tightening to the camshaft

Need a torque wrench when it comes to engine repairs, no room for error

What are the symptoms of the exhaust side cam being faulty??

Is the location for timing marks supposed to be set the orange link

great video, i thought that the cam gear had to be "unlocked" when torquing the bolt and "unlocked when installed in the head, then rotated to the locked position . Can someone confirm this, thanks

12:10 was that gear oil you sprayed?

When install the tensioner you do not unlatch it?

Wow 🤠🍺👍

YOur supposed to unlock that cam phaser before you torque it down.

this person at the beginning of the video showed how the chain should have been placed according to the marks, but put the new one not according to the marks

So I got a P0012 code after replacing both cams any help?

@2:57 What is the wrench size (MM) for that??

What is the purpose of replacing VVIT Gear tell me dear thank.

New gaskets No!.... Fail! But the customers doesn't know right?

Cylinder 3 misfire, replaced Ignition coil on cylinder 3. Checked code again cylinder 4 misfire, changed all spark plugs and ignition coils. Found oil on spark plugs, thought bad valve cover gaskets the culprit. Changed all valve cover gaskets now engine cranks but won't start. Took to toyota said low compression and that I should replace engine. Could this problem be a timing issue alone? Timing chain and guide seem tight and are intact. I haven't checked the alignment. But was running fine before except the misfires. I'm confused please help....... Need the car for my business need to know to scrap or fix. I have a mechanic that can fix if its timing related for fairly inexpensive. please help.

What will happen if we dont replace bad vvt gears?

Yaris engine noise what can be the cause

هل يوجد قطع ٥يار هذا المحرك بالجزائر

BRO your tightening a locked gear. I guess you have a lot of luck on your side. What led you to think both gears are bad?

👍👍👍👍👍🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲

what ever happened to the chain guide? It was missing in the beginning of the video 😮

How much cost that job

How much it’s the cost?

Tt

Your chain markings don’t match up to where they need to be.
