I use the old Vaseline trick for priming oil pumps, especially if not starting for awhile. Never let me down. Although in °115 degree summer heat in Phoenix, don't wait too long! Love the little tidbits that ensure a quality build! Helping my brother with his 22RE 92 pick up.
How has this RTV trick been working with the o-ring long term? Is there any concern about it breaking off once dry and fouling up the oil system? This is the only reference I've seen to using RTV on that o-ring. Normally people are just using some grease, assembly lube, vaseline to hold the o-ring during installation to keep it in place.
I'm not sure why the RTV wouldn't work. You have to put it on the gasket for the water pump and that turns out fine if you let it cure for the correct amount of time. You also have to put a little on the oil pan, head, and half-moon seals, and those are in oil areas... I use the Toyota brand sealer, which Toyota recommends anyways. It's pricey, but works really well. Though, other mechanics also use vaseline, and that seems to work well too. I guess it's a matter of preference.
That oil pump drive spline is really short is that for.the dual row timing chain? Mine is 1.685" long so it has a little gap where the harmonic balancer sticks out from the oil pump is that normal ok? Or does it needs to be flush?🤔 i torqued it to 115ft lb like the manual says i have a single row chain and timing cover, i wanna tap it in more but im worries itll bend the chain behind it
You are a professional engine builder and you don't have a seal driver? Come on now, really? And the soaking of the oil seal is not recommended. The massive amount of RTV on the o-ring? You guys are not doing a very good job of advertising. I've seen enough to skip to the next competitor.
@@yota1performanceenginemach151 soaking the front oil seal in oil and using a press to install it for one. It's easily installed without that. You want it dry no oil between the seal and the housing. Way too much FIPG on that o-ring and non factory bolts on timing cover and oil pump housing. I don't know why you rebuilders think replacing the factory bolts with shitty 13mm chinese bolts is a good thing. -Toyota techs everywhere
Kyle N. Soaking any shaft seal in oil is always a good idea! And using a press ensures a totally parallel install. Those bolts are JIC bolts! “Japanese Industrial Standard” all of our bolts are top quality and use the original tool size. I have built over 5,000 22R/RE/RTE engines! Our engines are top shelf for a reason--Quality-- and I know how to keep the oil where it belongs. All of these methods are proven, look around check our reviews. Do your homework!
@@yota1performanceenginemach151 I have personally never seen someone soak an entire oil seal in oil, just where the seal rides against the shaft. There is absolutely no need for a 60-ton shop press for that oil seal either. A decent seal driver tool set would be more appropriate. I wouldn't think that the Genuine Toyota oil pump to timing cover seal would be too small. Maybe there is a deeper groove cut into the aftermarket timing covers?
Just replaced pump seal and now I can't hardly turn the crank shaft I'm assuming I used too long of a bolt for the top of the oil pump and it's pinching the tensioner?

Los engranes de la bomba llevan tiempo también o no importa la posición de las marcas?
What if i have no press? Can i use a vice?.....thks..jc...also, what about torque on bolts?
where can i buy the timing cover including the oil pump
I just pulled my oil filter off and there was no oil inside. Do you have any information on what would cause that to happen?

You don't want FIPG on that seal

I'm glad I'm not the only one with that engine... I hope I can find someone that can fix my engine oil leak without messing it up.

cranked my new Yota1 stage 3 today for just a little bit, fired right off purrs like a kitten!
Should be labeled how NOT to install an oil pump on a 22RE
Kyle N. Why is that?

Yota1 Performance Engine & Machine another company that thinks they know more than Toyota. 🙄

I just can’t get the oring/ gasket to stay in place ever. I’ll try your way next weekend. Great video!!
You should make not that the length of one of those bolts is intentionally SHORTER than the others. It needs to go in a specific place.
Thank you
You should have put the seal mod in it! It will need to be done later!
Just replaced pump seal and now I can't hardly turn the crank shaft I'm assuming I used too long of a bolt for the top of the oil pump and it's pinching the tensioner?
That's the mistake I made
You put the head on before the timing cover?
We always install the timing chain and timing cover first
Me too, it just looked like the head was already on.
@@opusthe2nd as long as the oil pans off you can probably install the timing cover but if the oil pans on you'll have to lift the head quarter inch
This is pure art🎨
Prelube and prelube some more
Good info, what is the length of the bolt under the timing tab?
Torque spec for all the bolts on the assembly?
The bolt under the timing tag is 35mm. Torque spec is 9ftlbs on all 5 bolts
Is that oil or what?
Do the dots have to be lined up on the oil pump gears?
The arrows on the gears are not alignment marks, they're just meant to show which side of the gear faces up
