Toyota tech here. That engine was famous for oil pump seal leaking. In behind the timing belt. Oil pump is driven by timing belt, there is "O" ring style gasket where it is bolted to the block. Heat makes them crispy. They usually pump out oil pretty good when engine is running. Same mill used in the Celica

Valve cover gaskets are known for leaking on 4th generation Camrys. The bolts bottom out before compressing the gaskets. A simple fix is to put a couple of washers on the bolts. The bolts bottom out on a shoulder before the threaded part, which is too short. The washers will keep the shoulder from bottoming out before the gasket compresses. This applies to the V6 models.

@@JohnNorris411 You can stack two of them right? After re-install and torquing, take her out for a "quicky" and retorque. I would even do it one more time "another quicky" . that's all you should have to do. Your car will need to re-map itself and this is why I am saying your car will need a quicky. So you will have to safely of course but aggressively drive your car around. Your car just needs to check and will adjust its A/F ratios. You probably already know this but for the people that don't no this step they really need to learn about it. Like I said safely, find a completely vacant parking lot or something that gives you plenty of room with clear vision is to not hurt yourself or anybody else. Then all you have to do is launch it a few times ... 0 to 60 is plenty. I assume too much sooo... Don't hesitate to ask for any more information.

I find it hard to believe the shop would pay for that cost. With a junkyard engine 14 months out? I would think they would have been lucky to get 30 days. Plus depending upon how long that engine was sitting those seals would immediately start to dry rot. I'm sure there are going to be more seals along the way. Great job as always. Thank you for the video!

@user-hy7su3jm8z 2 жыл бұрын

So generally on a junkyard engine it wasn't the engine that was failing, but sensors, plugs, valve stem seals, distributor. My grandfather owned a junkyard and I worked there from when I was three until I went to college. We would always compression test engines and they hardly ever failed. Dry rot on the seals can definitely suck but it usually took a very long time for them to do so since they sat in the shade of their own hood. If you want to know you got a good one, have it compression and wet compression tested. After that if it also has good oil pressure then it is a good motor for a junk yard motor.

Another customer of mine as a 2002 Tahoe that was suffering from 4wd issues and only after replacing the entire damn system did I finally find the source of the problem. The ground strap that goes from the firewall to the back of the block was attached to the coil bracket, which aint grounded, and the one in the harness that goes to the ac compressor was just hanging there. The dash lights would go crazy anytime the fan was turned on and it also blew three transfer case shift modules since the correct ground was missing. Fixed the grounds, replaced the fried mosfet in the module and its been great ever since. Diagnosed first, parts last.

@@jamesatkinson6480 In the USA the standard measurement as legislated is the metric system. Unfortunately they also kept the imperial system also. They should have drawn a line in the sand and made metric compulsory. A lot of other countries did, so it is not as if the USA will collapse and life as they know it will end. Look at a lot of American manufactured vehicles, they have metric hardware, they had to to be able to export to metric using countries, so the local vehicles followed suit. And really, who gives a rats about 2/5th's of 5/8th's of F/A lol. Oh yeah, they have Superman and the Road Runner, they won't let it end 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I was born in the imperial era and went to school in the metric era, learnt the metric system and when I started working in the early 80"s I like many others had to learn the imperial measurements because the equipment manufactured in the imperial measurement days still had many years of service life left.

@frankyg7880 2 жыл бұрын

@@snaeshaads8203 1992-2004 style valve covers can be very forgiving (mostly honda/toyota). my honda motor calls for 13 in lbs torque for the valve cover bolts. rule of thumb to eye ball it is just finger tighten, then 1/2 or less turn with ratchet untill it feels like it bottoms out. i have straight finger tightened valve covers and had no seepage for days of on/off driving. But u will eventually. So you want to torque it right eventually. But it will live under torqued as long as it has oil. Valve cover gaskets do 99.99% of the work sealing. going from 13 in lbs of torque to say 30 will have 0 affect on the seal. over tightening valve cover bolts is way more dangerous than under torqueing. if EVER in doubt. ALWAYS UNDER TORQUE VALVE COVERS. or else you will end up with stripped/snapped valve cover bolts, or a warped valve cover.

@@frankyg7880 yep over torque is exactly what I was talking about. At least with Honda (and someone can correct me on this) the steel screws thread straight into the aluminum block.

This was awesome! A common issue taken care of easily and with craftsmanship! I loved how you repurposed the oil filter wrench for the valve cover hold down nuts by the spark plugs. I did something similar in plumbing. We all work on our own stuff. I used a hook spanner wrench to tighten the white PVC tubular drain parts under the sink. Most use Channel-locks and they work fine but a hook spanner tightens them way tighter and without marring them all up. If you use that on the tubular drain pipe collars they come out almost as strong as threaded metal pipes. A good mechanic/plumber/electrician always know 20 different uses for every tool he has. Last note: Kudos to Toyota for keeping things strong and simple which makes them easy to fix and very reliable. My top concerns I look for when buying a vehicle.
