A co-worker came into my shop a few years ago and asked for a cordless screwdriver. I pointed to the appropriate toolbox and said "second drawer." After opening the drawer he exclaimed " these are all manual!" To which I answered "yea, but they're all cordless."
I always feel wrong using a screwdriver for jobs that don't involve driving screws. Well, Ray and his green mini-pry bar finally convinced me, and I ordered (the pair, 1/8" and 1/4") from Amazon.
I pulled and replaced the motor on my 03 toyoda echo. With 500k on it. It was consuming oil. Cylinders all clean. Good conpression. So think it was head gasket. Still havnt pulled it apart. But i did take valve cover off. Still looked like new in there. No build up. No worn lobes. Gasket didnt even crack up as yours did in video. I nedd to find the 12point headbolt bit/socket. Think torx but 12 points. Nobody in my area has one. Put a used motor with 100k in the car and its still going.
On Toyota hybrids…put foot on brake …push start button once…then you will be in ready mode…which is started…if you push button without brake pushed ,you will ,in essence be in “acc” mode…which could run the 12v battery down…The little 12v battery is very sensitive…it will run down quickly, if not in ready mode…now if you want to run the engine…be in ready mode and push accelerator to the floor, the engine will then fire up…let up and gas engine quits, but you are still running…in EV mode…
Well, that was interesting. The time needed to take the wipers cowl out, really saves the day. Nothing like having clear space to work in an engine bay.
Indeed, Always check your grounds. Had a Holden Astra Convertible that (under warrantee) kept going into the shop due to 'failed' computer modules. Even started a fire due to under vehicle misfire and overheated Cat converter. Must have replaced all major body control modules and numerous brake light switches. After a number years of frustration, finally insisted that I witness the mechanics check the grounds and voltages. Turns out that there was only 9V getting to the ECU due to multiple broken strands in the main battery ground. Got an additional $10 ground cable installed between the battery and engine and low and behold, issues disappeared. Never had an issue with it after that day. Always check your ground before firing the parts cannon.
@@JamesTrigg Finished up selling the Astra at 280,000km. It was very reliable after fixing the earth issue. Replaced it with a Mazda ND MX5 (it's the wife's car).
Was watching another channel who just got a unit, picked up a metal port adpt. from Amazon and bent the metal hose about 45 Deg. after heating it in the vice.. Worked really great, much better then the straight hose the unit comes with and got all the walnut chips out. So amazed what a great job this procedure does and hope Ray does again also.
With reference to the witness marks I would suggest that 1 or 2 things have happened in the past No. 1 the vehicle had an oil leak around the plug gaskets causing a misfire & so all the work was required No 2. The owner was aware of the possible problem (maybe told to by family/friend /dealership) to do this maintenance at vehicle manufactures recommended intervals which the owner has done as the internal of the engine seems to be in very good condition (as far as can be seen through the camera.)
Ray, had a pickup in the early 70s that I couldn’t get started. I worked on it for days, but to no avail. I got pissed off and decided to sell it. A friend from school came by and bought it. He opened the hood, connected a wire, got in it and started it and drove off. It was a ground wire. I was mad at myself for not knowing and him not telling me what was wrong before he bought it. I felt like a fool. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Each side, because you are doing both, not one or the other. You might try putting a short extension in that socket to get a center, even pressure, on the seals.
Dont be surprised if the leak continues. You pointed to the area the timing chain tensioner cover that can leak is. And yes its a B1tch to get at. I never got mine to stop leaking. I did forget to try to give it a sand down the 3 times i had the engine apart.
Your homeless/feral kitty might be keeping any mice/vermin out of the shop. Maybe leave the kitty some food, unless it's making a problem somewhere. Anyway, thanks for the part two video on the Prius. Easy/Peasy plugs/coils/valve cover job. At least you make it look easy. The familiarity of engine/vehicle systems makes it that way. Thanks Ray for another of your great videos.
feral cats are a nightmare to a garage, open windows mean cat crap or kittens. Don't get me wrong, I really like cats, but you have to be aware of their downsides !
Hi Ray. I was about to say that you forgot to apply couple of silicone dap. between the head and the time chain cover. because you didn't mention that, but when I played it back, I saw that you already did it ( at the minute 19:08). good job buddy. you are amazing. every time i keep admiring the work that you been doing.
Those spark plug tube gaskets were fighting all the way... I use the same socket as a driver method. A cheap 6" extension as a handle keeps the flang'ees from becoming smashed...
I guess I must be ol school, however the very first thing I learned as a little tike was always check for the correct gaps on sparkplugs for ultimate performance.
With the coating and type of plugs You risk damaging them by trying to gap them If it's a couple thousand off it's fine It's going to be more than that half it's life
Also hybrids sensors are touchy. Honda for example even touching let alone disconnecting quickly an evap sensor can rain O2 sensor, MAF sensor and purge control solenoid codes. Even straight up giving ECU/ECM failure information codes. Keep up the good work not just with the shop but with your family
Thank you Mr RainmanRay for providing this video and your correct this was indeed a great video.! I completely understand about wanting to finish up on a job that which would only haunt your productivity once behind its almost impossible to catch up . Time is after all is fleeting regardless 24 hours in a single day we are but humble mortals well most of us. Blessings
On this whole 2 part job, starting at the wipers first then working around to the intake might have made the job much smoother the fighting 2 nuts in cramped quarters.
ECM stays alive for a few minutes after power down, and wakes up if there is a door open event so that is why you got codes. Cat place a nice box for the cat, where the cat can be comfortable, and a bowl of dry kibble, and a bowl of fresh water. Kibble and water separate from each other by a bit, and some catnip in the box to attract the cat to it. Shop cat means no mice eating wiring looms in the vehicles, and if possible do a TNR on it as well, using one of the local groups to keep the population at one.
I can't understand why, with the car completely shut down, it would complain about sensors being unplugged, but my CT6 sport threw MAF codes when I unplugged the MAFs to remove the top of the airbox and replace the air filters (I found it easier to remove the top of the box rather than just unscrew it and try to move it out of the way while attached to everything).
Removing the wiper cowling gives easier access ... but where do you put all the nuts and bolts without it? What's the story with those 2 extra nuts Ray incorrectly installed on the wiper motor? Are they leftovers from something that got missed?
So Ray? Why not use a thin layer of glycerine on those plug tube seals to seat them? Guaranteed not to hurt rubber and will disappear over time. I am a pump guy not a mechanic. We use glycerine as a rubber friendly lubricant on a lot of mechanical seal seats which are similar.
Either, each. Interesting. No matter what people would understand that you mean there are 2, one on each side. I think “one on either side” would mean there is one (clip?) and it might be on the passenger or driver side.
Oh, that was not posted in the video. I saw the glob of silent after you were checking out why the code was presented on the meter panel. I really appreciate and enjoy yourself and the humor that comes with car maintenance and repair. Great person with a positive attitude 🙂
Wouldn’t it work better if you flipped the socket over & have the “Flat” end against the gaskets? It’s also good to hear Alvin stopped by the shop again to lend you a hand (paw?).
I made a tool for pressing those darn oil seals into their seats, with a long piece if threaded bar large washers/plates and socket, you can then use a ratchet and spanner to tighten the nuts and pull/push the seal in without the fear of them going in " cock eyed" and getting a good seat.
I'm from the land down under and majority of 4x4 Ute's are 1 toners I myself have a isuzu dmax 3l td and all the videos are v8. I know 1 toners aren't as popular in the us. It just seems like these videos are for us audience
Hey, Ray. Maybe you can go over this about the dielectric grease. Wouldn't it be a good thing to put it on the plug ends on the coils, on every connector, including light bulb connectors, and pretty much anything that snaps together? I'd think that would help stop water intrusion and the chance of corrosion. If you see this, maybe answer it here, OR during a video so others will know the answer...I imagine I'm not the only one asking and wondering. Thanks. Cheers.
If that component is called a wiper transmission because it transmits the motor's power. Then why is the mechanism inside the door called a window regulator?
@Rainman Ray off Duty question for you i have to do this job your doing in this video but i have a bad seal on 1 spark plug and there is oil in there what would be best way to get the oil out of there before i replace the spark plugs? Or if anyone else knows plz tell!
Unrelated question for Ray or any mechanics on here: Do timing chains need to be replaced at some point? I’ve heard people say that chains last “for life”, but then others say that chains can stretch or fatigue and replacement should be considered past 150,000 miles. I tend to keep my vehicles past 200,000 miles, so wanted to know what I should expect to do for a vehicle with timing chain. I don’t drive hot-rod or crazy, if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance.
They typically last the life of the engine these days on most vehicles. That being said, it also depends on how well you maintain your vehicle. They are bathed in oil. If you don’t change your oil on time and it gets low, it may affect it. Old school vehicles weren’t engineered as well. You basically change them when you can hear them.
Hey, Ray, Do you wanna mess with Lauren for putting in the doodlie-do time clock? Go into it and change all of the alarm times to something else. Or set them all one after the other.
Ray, what is the mileage on the Prius? Just wondering how long carbon buildup, leaking cover gaskets take? I have a 4 cyl Camry that has only plugs changed in 160,000. No significant leaks, never needs added oil between 5-6,000 mile Amsoil changes. Is on 2nd replacement timing and other belts + 1st water pump since new. 1st belt changes were made at 90,000. Thanks for your videos!
There is no mileage when these things just occur. Sounds like you keep up with your maintenance very well, that’s awesome. Keep doing that and not driving your car into the ground, and it may never leak. Carbon build up is also going to depend on driving habits and fuel type. You’re driving one of the most dependable vehicles on the road.
that engine is a non direct injection engine. And it run on the Atkinson cycle so it stays in a narrower rpm band. This helps prevent the formation of carbon deposits. Hence a clean engine.
After just doing a similar set on another valve cover, I noticed the same thing where the retaining tabs got forgotten to be bent back. May not be a big deal.
I keep watching for my car but not many impala's 06 14 in repair at rays shop.250k on mine auto start still works has the ol rust prevention oil leaks but after few oil changes with at 205 its pretty much stop. It does burn a bit of oil half quart about half way through oil life not the cars monitor but about 1500 miles i top it off. Iv never went over 4k miles on the oil synthetic or blend doesn't matter
On my wife units car,The exHAUST PIPE BROKE AT A WELD.i I put the adapter on and the car still sounds a bit loud. It has a2 inch pipe so I put on a 2 1/4 adapter with clamps.Could it be a Hole in the muffler itself?? Its a 2012 impreza awd.
remove a part to make more space to work faster and in "comfort" or try to work blind with only fingertips because thats all that will fit. some times, you have to take time to make time. i rather work on what i can see and in relative comfort when and where i can so i have no problem taking something off to gain access and additional light. the time wasted messing around trying to find stuff you cant see or looking for dropped fasteners/sockets AAAND taking time to shake out the cramp in you hands from trying to "make it work" is more than the time it takes to remove the part(s) in said way and get the job done. jmho. thanks ray.
Interesting how so many operations on Toyotas seem to involve removal of the cowl. On my Avalon almost everything on bank 1 is better with the cowl out.
Two questions Ray. I noticed that you've stopped using a torque wrench when tightening down spark plugs Or valve covers. Is that not being taped? Second is you did not mention changing the oil after all that work. Thanks. Great video.
I think Ray actually forgot that this time. And that's kind of bad.😮 Went back and checked. He had a good blob of RTV on when he replaced the cover. He just didn't show.😊
It’s a quick video on his “off duty” channel. Seems like you were paying attention and realize those things need to be reconnected. Try not to be rude, it will help you in real life too.
This customer is taking good care of his/her vehicle. That valve cover was clean enough to use as a soup bowl.
That's what happens when you use synthetic oil all the time.

Do the little metal tabs on the spark plug seals not need to go back into place? Genuine question - yo the expert! 🙂

This must be a really difficul one. Normally the cowl is where you store all the bolts.
You should have used the press if it fit on throws seals.

Would it be easier to use a six inch extension in the socket to seat those seals to get even force
Interesting how so many operations on Toyotas seem to involve removal of the cowl. On my Avalon almost everything on bank 1 is better with the cowl out.
Two questions Ray. I noticed that you've stopped using a torque wrench when tightening down spark plugs Or valve covers. Is that not being taped? Second is you did not mention changing the oil after all that work. Thanks. Great video.
No showing of sealant on the timing chain and block join, and the reconnecting of the important grounds, though they do show as connected later on....
I saw that to.
I think Ray actually forgot that this time. And that's kind of bad.😮
Went back and checked. He had a good blob of RTV on when he replaced the cover. He just didn't show.😊
I had to move things along a little
It’s a quick video on his “off duty” channel. Seems like you were paying attention and realize those things need to be reconnected. Try not to be rude, it will help you in real life too.
Hope they're OEM coils.
Ray, where did you get that looong socket?
Ray what happened with the Prius with the weird brake pedal issue?
You need a hydraulic press, would make those spark plug seals go in alot easier.
Good, you have stray kitty, take care of mice problems from nutshell around the shop..
