and ya kno..... the process of major repairs requiring lots of part/bolt/screw/nut/connector/whatever removal makes the tech implant lots of data in da brain as to where everything goes. So maybe learning all of those history dates in school were appropriate to FORCE the brain to memorize. As in - - - - > to me the HARDEST element of repair is having a system of reconstructing the teardown. So MUCH stuff!

Too bad interior wasn’t very clean.

@@JohnSmith-lw2bmyou're the type of person that finds faults im everything

@@drivewayhero You're the sort of person who celebrates failure.

@@Malc180s not sure you know what you are saying, possible that you have a couple of loose nuts in your head that need tightening

@@JohnSmith-lw2bm That is how I keep my cars. Look like crap so thieves leave it alone.

Yeah. Standard Motor Products is my go to for VVT sprockets. You get the surprises like the OEM Toyota parts.

IPD USA has a great explanation about OEM, OES, etc. For some Volvo parts, the parts are actually made by a different company (e.g. aisin) and sold for cheaper by those companies, and sometimes they even sell revised, improved parts. If the part is bought directly from the original manufacturer, they will be cheaper except they don't come in Volvo box or they might have the Volvo logos filed off the parts. At least IPD may recommend a good aftermarket part over the original if the aftermarket is improved in some way such as better durability. It is real interesting stuff ! Sounds like Toyota has made that phaser part themselves since it has their name stamped on it, or a company working with Toyota, but how did that aftermarket company get that genuine Toyota part?

I did the job following this video, my cam phaser broke in the exact same way. I got extremely lucky and found the broken piece when I removed the timing tensioner cover, it was wedged between the timing tensioner and the timing cover. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

What year was your Camry that you had to do the repair on ​@@servandogarcia941

How many miles?

The turn radius is doable but tight. Toyota engineers could have made an different design. Maybe that is the one, which was unavailable? I worked for a short time at Imatra Ovako Steel mill in the 1980's. At special products unit we made gun barrels for Finnish military, camshaft steel for Ford Germany, coil spring steel for Volvo and Saab. Volvo gave us an medal, for delivering spring steel, which did not crack even when the car was absolutely totaled in the accident. The Volvo accident investigation team could almost every time dig out intact coil springs out of an total wreck. That is the high quality spring steel what Toyota designed the original phaser with and became a victim of sub standard steel later. It is an art to produce this high quality steel. As Asian producers got to the the market with lower prices we Finns were unable to compete with, that is the result. Toyota original design failing due spring steel not conforming in reality with original specification in the long term. To make spring steel to last bending for the life of an Toyota, which is more than 180 k miles, cheaper steel is not good enough.

@@jannepo I completely agree - It is an art to produce the high quality steel required for these springs. Maybe cutting costs (or a change in contractors) was one of the factors.

Usually... But not this time 😅

I do Cars shows that often

I guess the customer was on an extreme budget. Or the customer wanted to do that himself/wait for the next oil change.

It's a couple big chunks vs the forbidden glitter or bearing material 😉

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics I mean technically those chunks could somehow get through a gap in the baffle plate (but not sure how that looks in this case) and wreck havoc there. Unlikely but not impossible, I'd guess.

One can always cut the Can of the oil filter and inspect the paper element inside as well for shiny's...Thanks Ivan Great sounding engine keep it up👍

Just 2 bolts...

At 200K you should NEVER touch the A/T fluid unless you've changed it every 60K miles (more or less)......

Amazing!

I have the same 12’ Camry 2.5 how many miles do u have

@@adriancruz630 120k mi

He's copying me 😆

I have a 2005 Srt 4 neon with 275000 miles on it and have only normal maintenance. It's my daily driver. So every auto maker has good and bad products.

No, you got the ONLY good one they made!

@@annathemaanderson4448 perhaps, does not even leak or burn oil like other 2AZ.

@@richardcardwell6266 i not familiar with Neon models however that is good going..soo many lemons out there.

@annathemaanderson4448 I know a lot of people with great cars that are not Japanese crap boxes. Worked in the industry over 30 years. The big secret is regular maintenance. With that almost all cars can last a long time.

The downside to that is if you drop it while coming up, and it lands in another spot where it can cause damage. Being metal I'd expect it to go to the bottom and more or less stay there, as long as no one goes Dukes of Hazzard with that poor car.

He got paid 5 hours.. He probably got it done in less than 3.

Really? What's the evidence? McDonald's doesn't have union but I somehow doubt that translates to better working attitude if they pay very little. Working attitude is more about giving proper compensation and safety to encourage good work rather than yes vs no union. Union only exists because not all employers properly compensate or ensure safety. They didn't exist at one point and we had child labor and factory workers weren't allowed to talk to each other! That's why unions started! (And you died in factory fires because they didn't care about safety)

@@Michael_J_M14 it's not floating around... A couple metal chunks are heavier than oil LOL

@@Michael_J_M14 I don't think the Camry is going to the race track and pulling 1g corners to slosh anything around 😜

Small anti rattle clip missing.
