Рет қаралды 175,434

Күн бұрын

A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician shows a Toyota Engine Partial Tear Down to repair a Front Timing cover leak repair and VVTi Gear replacement.
This 2013 Toyota Corolla has the dreaded VVTi rattle on cold start. in this video we will tear the front of the engine apart to first replace the VVTI gear that's causing the cold start rattle then reseal the front timing cover as well.
I will share with you tips and tricks on sealing Toyota engines using FIPG or Form In Place Gasket. Proper prep and absolute cleanliness is very important in jobs like this to prevent issues with the engine and make sure you don't have leaks in the near future.

I hold a PhD degree in Metallurgical Engineering and enjoy my job, but when I see a master mechanic like Ahmed, I feel that I did a bad choice for my career. He is so good at what he does, he is excellent, he is top level, he is the best mechanic I have ever seen. Conclusion is that it doesn't matter what your profession is, either a humble janitor, a scientist, a cook, a CEO of a big company, etc., the most important is to be a good person and always try to be the best on what you do. Ahmed is a good example of a mechanic of excellence and the best in his field. Congratulations!

Blessings to your new shop. As a customer, I would have confidence in having my Toyota maintained in your shop. As a technician, I would love to work in such a clean, well-equipped, and well-organized shop. When I started my aircraft repair shop I was concerned about many things, some of my concerns kept me awake at night. I asked a good friend who owned a successful manufacturing business about how he dealt with such deeply personal concerns. And he told me, "...let God take care of the business. He will guide you and prosper the shop in the way He desires." So I stopped worrying and let Our Lord take care of the shop. Thank you for all your hard work on these very well-produced videos.

Did my first one of these a couple months ago on a 09 Matrix with a blown head gasket. It blew out between #3 & #4 cylinders. Never done one but did it pretty much exactly as you did. Good tip on the crank seal. I put it in first and didn't have much trouble getting the cover on but can see how much easier it would be without it. The manual called for a different sealer around the water passage on the timing cover vs what is used on the rest of the cover. I used the black FIPG for the whole thing, just as you did. Was glad to see you used the 103 for the whole thing, as well. I also left that thermostat housing installed and wondered why the service info said to remove it. Thanks for this video!

Had that job done on my '98 LS400 just before the pandemic. As you said, time consuming. Tech said that both he and the shop's owner had to confirm all timing mark positions before the cover was replaced. 4 eyes better than 2 for something so critical. Also had the valve cover and spark plug well gaskets replaced. There was a lot of oil on the timing belt, so that was changed, too. Not bad for 24 yrs. of great service.

Great video... You definitely know what your doing. We did a head gasket on a 2013 Prius recently.. engine looks basically the same. While the intake is off, good time to do the PCV valve.. its on the front on the engine under the intake. A little trick me friend uses on the sealer.. We used the Gray Permatex stuff.. similar to Honda Bond. as you said.. CLEAN EVERTHING. we used a air whizzy wheel with a mild scrubber type. Takes it all off but cannot scratch the aluminum. But the way you did it was great too. and no air needed. For the sealant... a very light skim coat of sealant on once side.. we did it on the engine side.. reaching in thru the wheel well. let that set up just a bit.. then put the cover on with the thicker coat like you had. the skim coat wont come off and helps to cover any possible area that maybe gets wiped off as your installing the cover. This works well on differential covers also. Fantastic video... wish we had see it before we did the Prius.. some good tips on the order of disassembly.
