Where can I take my truck for this repair?
Just took my wife's Sequoia in for an oil change. And was told It needs cam towers re-seal. They want $5,000 is that an accurate price or is the dealer trying to screw me??
As a flat rate tech. I love these job. 15-20 hours to reseal the cam towers. Done by lunch time 😉😉good work brother.
Love these jobs as a flat rate tech 😉😉 I also pull the timing cover off with the valve covers still on 😉😉
If only leaking on the passenger side, do you want to repair both sides?
What is it with Toyota not using pre-made gaskets? What’s the cause of this problem? Is it a faulty design, is the factory sealant inferior, or is the sealant being installed incorrectly? Ever see another leak after performing the repair? How many hours of labor?
Clearly you're a pro at doing this job. What kind of time is one looking at to do this job? Is it a full day? A whole weekend?
Dealership wants $4000.00 to do this
Did I miss it! Never saw any FIPG used?
I need help anybody in Austin
EXCELLENT VIDEO! I’ve replaced many timing chains, and the 4.7 Toyota Tundra timing belt. I love the challenge, built many diesel and gasoline engines. This is incredible! Thank you very much, I know what it takes to keep the timing chain in place. I love the hexagons for the wrench on the cams. The hex lets you move them just enough to re-pin the dowel in the drive gear or cams. As long as you keep the tension on the chain so it can’t jump a tooth, you got it made!
Just bought a 2012 with 135k 5.7L in Feb. 2023. Was trade in at Chevy dealer. They must have cleaned up the leak because I specifically looked for it w a spotlight. Mine seems like a seepage. No topping off any oil. Also about 3 months ago, I have the infamous timing chain (slight) cold start rattle start too. Now I am thinking to just get the timing chain done and while im at it, might as well do the cam towers as well since its all there in one shot saving on labor. The wife and I like the clean accident free dealer serviced truck. With all oil changes done on time. I guess I cannot complain. Was $15500 plus tax, tags. Paid cash. Plan on keeping it a LONG time.
I own a 2013 Tundra 5.7 with 85K miles on it which seems to have developed a cam tower leak. My dealership has quoted me a $4,901.00 estimate to fix this issue. I realize this is a big job, however I'm having a problem spending that kind of money on a repair if it's only going to reoccur in the future. Can anyone tell me if the seals/gaskets have been redesigned to eliminate this leak issue in the future? Is there a better sealer to use or aftermarket seals that won't prematurely fail? A $5,000 engine repair bill on a Toyota engine with only 85K miles on it is a hard pill to swallow.
Where is this mechanic help
So, when a mechanic uses this shortcut, the timing belt skips a tooth, and the engine is trashed, does the mechanic buy the customer a new engine at their own expense, does the mechanic play dumb, tell the customer there was something wrong with their engine, and try to screw the customer?
At what point did you replace seals or gaskets?
This is what I couldn't find in the video. Goes from cleaning both sides to reassembly without any gasket/RTV being added...
Man that engine was spotless
Where are you? You need to do mine 2013 82K miles 1 owner. They said they are a leaking! No gasket between the cam cradles and the head ??
Just had this done on my truck and he said tensioners are a real pain to get in and hes been doing this for literally 30 years said RUclips video makes it look real easy lol price was 750 for both sides thank god I know him 😅
Anyone knows who can do this in maryland to my truck ? I would like someone expert on this.
Is it required to remove the fuel line on the driver's side? Or just makes it easier to get it out of the way? I prefer to not disturb any connections that aren't necessary, but some are just better to remove and clear out of the way. Thanks for a super helpful video!
Why not just remove the front timing cover? I'm new to this motor and just trying to understand (not challenging). Removing the front timing cover would allow you to also replace the tensioners (preventative maintenance if previous owner was lazy with oil changes), and make the chain/sprocket removal much easier. Or does that add a significant amount of time to the job? Just curious. This method looks like a great alternative but (sounds like from the comments) that the biggest struggle is getting the tensioners released from the top, hence the opening question. Thanks so much for a super helpful video!
may not have wanted to have to replace the water pump and oil pump seals and all of that good stuff. Also avoids taking out the radiator and everything else on the serpentine belt. I would have removed the front timing cover as well as then you could replace the timing chain assembly along with all of the seals including the valve covers but some may want to avoid having to go through the whole thing.
@@wiscopackers12 Got it, thank you. That makes sense. Sounds like there are pros/cons with either approach, but could to have an alternative solution that doesn't require removing the whole front end. Thanks again.
yup having that issue with loosing timing chain on cam sprockets without removing timing chain cover. need help😢
Heyyyy!!!! I got it!!! I kept at it and just like in your video the little cylinder to the tensioner finally went all the way up, you just have to keep moving that lever back n forward and press until it'll finally release that oil trapped in there and go all the way up!! Thanks !! I'm on my way now!!! Tundra been down about 6months now...YESSS!!
Did you get it done ok
By the way the beat is smashing baby love that music and really matches your work...the sound of i got this!!
Hello there, hey your video got me over a stump pulling my heads off, didn't know how to get my cams loose from my timing chain sprockets, so with your video I was able to move past that part and get my heads off to change my head gasket but now putting it back together I can't seem to get my tensioner loose enough to put my sprocket with chain on back onto my cams as easy as you did in your video...need help
Great work!
Sweet, it's only a 13 min job! 😝🤣
Brilliant, how much did it cost to build.
My man love the idea
Good video but this is beyond my pay grade unfortunately......
Is it the same method for the 1UR-FSE? Would I still have to drain the coolant if I have the electric fans?
How much would you charge to make me one and ship it to my house and would this plow work on any riding lawn mower?
Can I postpone this repair with an oil leak repair fluid?
yes, its usually a small leak and will leak some oil on the exhaust, at least in my experience. its a 15 plus hr job so its very expensive.
@@davidstiver2304 could I use a sealer additive?
@@gaarafranco8667 don't see how that will do anything. fipg is used to seal 2 mating surfaces so an additive won't do anything.
Is there any risk of the chain jumping time on the crank sprocket doing it this way? Wicked shortcut, thanks for sharing!
one of the techs that I work with tried it this way and blew up the motor. we don't know how. think the tensioner got damaged when he was trying to get the plunger in. they have a lot of oil pressure and are very difficult to get the tensioner plunger in.
Que bien se siente uno cuando lleva su carro a un profesional y te hace un excelenticimo trabajo eso no tiene precio
Any one please suggest how much it cost to repair at Toyota? Is it worth repairing it in small shop for less ??
We were just told 1000 - 2000 at the Toyota Dealership
Can you lmk what size tubing you used and how tall/wide the blade is. Looking to make 2. 1 for my atv and 1 for my riding mower
Brilliant sir where are you located I need both sides done.
Why the f are we still doing this i.c.e. bs? Dear Rivian: sold....
So did u drain the oil to get some more slack out of the tentioner because i am doing one now and its not pushing into the tensioner housing
don't know, he made it look way to easy. one of the techs that I work with tried it this way and blew up the motor. we don't know how. think the tensioner got damaged when he was trying to get the plunger in. they have a lot of oil pressure and are very difficult to get the tensioner plunger in.
@@davidstiver2304 ya i ended up just taking all off 😂😂 it sucks
@@Shanethetoyotech yea, thats the route I go. I thought about trying this, but rather be safe than sorry.
How are the motors powered
If anyone else does this it would be super helpful to document it. It would be nice to have another guide just to make sure this process gets done correctly and nothing is damaged. Thanks for the video
Just found this video because I believe mines starting on the driver side. Super impressed by the video and details. You gained my like, subscribe and comment!
When this happens, is it a major leak? Will you notice a significant drop in oil level on the dip stick? Or can you just keep an eye on it and top it off if needed? I'm thinking of trading my '05 tundra for a 07.
I've been having this issue for 5 years now on my 2012 tundra. Very small leak, no need to top off oil between oil changes but the smell of burnt oil on the exhaust is annoying.
its usually a small leak in my experience. its a very expensive job though. like a 15 plus hour job.
I have an 07 I'm working on right now and watched this video to the T and I just can't get my timing chain sprocket back onto my cams as simple as he did...I think I'm not getting enough slack in my chain. My tensioner is bot going all the way back in, only a little...this is all I need to do to get everything back together...frustrating
@@charliethorne1255 did you get it done ? Thinkin bout doing mine but little nervous 😂
Loving this design! If I put a length of tubing over that all-thread for the left and right shaft, will that keep it from bending? Again, love the design, just asking. Good work Brother!! I’ve learned through your efforts!
When this happens, is it a major leak? Will you notice a significant drop in oil level on the dip stick? Or can you just keep an eye on it and top it off if needed? I'm thinking of trading my '07 Sequoia for a '16.
I have a 2012 tundra and it doesn't drip oil on the ground because it hits the exhaust and burns. The smell of burnt oil is annoying but still no need to top off oil between oil changes. Leak is very small and has been for the last 5 years.
@@carlospastran3527 Thanks for the answer I think mine might be leaking but it's very minimal and I haven't had to add oil yet between changes so I plan on living with it.
Same with my 2013 Toyota Tundra. More of a seep. No oil on floor and don’t have to add oil in 10000 mile oil changes. 165000 miles and does not appear to be getting worse.
@@carlospastran3527 I second this. Until it get's worse I'll avoid it. I just keep my blower on recirc all the time.
@The Workin’ Man what kind of wrench did you use to loosen the camshaft I know it’s a 17mm
Does the engine need to be at TDC to do this repair?
Yes. It has to be so that everything is in time.
@@toptierauto4160 thanks
Hi
Awesome! Thanks for making the video.
