I wholeheartedly agree with the comments about how helpful this video is. Step by step process and no extended dialogue about the history of this and that blah blah etc like a lot of guys do.
Thanks! Im glad you found the video helpful.
This might be one of the best RUclips videos on how to do something. Well done sir.
Thanks I’m glad you found it helpful.
12:40 Nice catch! It's tricky with one hand.
Yeah true that!! Thanks for your comments!
The air tool he uses makes alot of sense 😮 happy days
Thanks!
@@csautomotive12 I have a friend who has the 2.4 engine said she was losing water and now when she looked at it oil has filled the cylinder head up to the spark plugs.. any idea 💡?
@@wildfire8341 What year is it? It sounds like you have two problems. The valve covers are probably why the spark plugs are getting oil. The coolant leak you would need to see what’s leaking.
@@csautomotive12 okay thank you
doing the same job on the 05 work on a lot of cars never this one i must say you really make it so easy to follow great stuff and good teaching one of the best , Thank you for this
Thanks! I’m glad you found it helpful! How is the job going?
Me too
I am currently doing the same job on my '06 and making a part series as well but not as detailed as this guy(I'm coming back to it every now and then when I get stumped) so thank you!
I’m glad it’s helpful! Let me know if you have any questions.
How to replace the fuel injectors on a 2003 Toyota Camry @@csautomotive12à
These videos are awesome
I’m glad it was helpful!
To remove the stud I used a 10m E speciality socket. Great videos!
Good information! Thanks for sharing!
@BrainCarson-iz9zj Where do I find that 10m E special socket, Harbor Freight?
Dude, soo much help. Thanks man! Got yourself a subscriber. Great video.
I’m glad it helped you. Thanks for the support!
Thanks for the videos..Novice mechanic working on my first head gaskets. 2003 Toyota Camry. Going slow but have time. So far so good. Timing chain cover next. Just have the basic tools ratchet set and wrenches. Any tools I'll definitely need complete the replacement.
You can get it done with basic tools. The only thing you’ll need is a torque wrench. Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions.
@@csautomotive12hello I'm working on my first head gasket replacement. Well I'm stuck removing some of the bolts from the timing cover. I have a 2003 Toyota Camry but every bolt to remove behind the crank wheel is very tight. Your video looks way more accessible to remove. How did you remove the wheel to the crank?
@ Do you have a lot of rust on your car?
@@csautomotive12 some rust it's from Pennsylvania
@ I have had some that are rusted in pretty good! You might have to get a harmonic balancer puller to get it off.
Learning so much! Thank you.
Your welcome!
So patient. Lol love it.
Thanks.
For sure. I was standing on my head trying to get the intake bolts out thinking how much less I cursed when I had a lift available.
Yeah the right tools make big jobs so much easier. Sometimes you have to work with what you got. How’s the car coming?
Is there any way to do the head gasket on 2az-fe w/o removing the timing cover? Isn't there just one bolt into the head that's hiding within reach of the top after you remove the cam shafts????
I was hoping I could do that. But I couldn’t find a way to make it work!
@@csautomotive12 After you have the camshafts out, you can support chain with a wire so it doesn't skip a cog on the crankshaft and then I was thinking you could get a 10mm deep-offset box end wrench onto the bolt or possibly make a special tool by welding a 10mm wrench to a short 12-pt 10mm socket to get behind the chain guide. What do you think about that? Is there enough clearance inside the timing cover? Also need clearance inside the cover for the bolt itself to be completely unthreaded.
@@bobthrasher8226 I don’t think there’s going to be enough room. But it might be worth a try. If it works that would be cool!! You might spend more timing doing that then it would take just to take it off. Let me know if it ends up working.
PLEASE I need help, I was putting the washers for the head bolts in and I'm pretty sure they fell down through to the block and IDK what to do
You’re going to want to find them! Maybe you could get a long magnet and see if you can fish them out!

Hey, I just finished with head gasket replacement in my 07 Camry and now I have oil in my radiator, I don't understand this and I'm tripping, I need this car so bad I can't believe I screwed this up
If u dont mind me asking 😊 How did u remove the stud out of the oil pan which socket did u use torx bit or ..
They are an inverted torques. I can’t remember what size they are!
Do you have to set the time to top dead center before you remove the cams?
You don’t have to. You can set it all once you put it all back together.
Great videos. I have been following along with these as I replace the head gasket on my 2009 Venza (2.7l engine). A few differences between the video and my engine but close enough to really help! What brand box wrenches do you use?
I’m glad you found it helpful. I both Snap-on and SK. Hands down I like the SK and the price is right for what you get.
How did you seal the oil pan where the timing cover sat?
You can just put silicone on the pan and the a little on the cover and put it together.
@@csautomotive12 Another question - did you move the AC compressor out of the way? If so how did you do it? I'm in the middle of this repair trying to be as thorough as possible. thanks!
@@romangabrieltodd I didn’t move the A/C compressor.
good chance i wont get an answer but my engine won’t raise could it be cause im on the floor using a jack?
Did you take the motor mount out?
Hello Sir, could you please tell me how many hours or days you finished this job? Thank you
It took me about 6 hours. If you’re doing a head job for the first time plan on a lot more. Hope that helps.
What socket do you use to remove those studs???
They are a 12 point and the most are either 12 or 14 mm. Hope that helps.
@@csautomotive12 I think he means to remove the studs out of the head. A tiny torx socket E3 for the sump ones and for the belt tensioner you can get away with an 8mm hex socket.
What supports the motor when you remove motor mount? You took it off in the air and skipped to top side on the ground.
Just put a floor jack under the oil pan with a block of wood between the jack and pan. Take the motor mount out. Then you can take the jack out. The other mounts will hold it.
@@csautomotive12 do other mounts hold them for sure? I mean without a problem
@@codyfi9210 Yes as long as you just take out the ones I did. I have done close to 50 of these heads and never had a problem.
WTH?! No cussing, no bleeding knuckles, no stripped bolt heads?!? This simply cannot be a real-world performance! /s 😂
I think I can say this was one of the first jobs I have done like this that everything went like it should. Trust me that never happens!! Good tools really makes or breaks you!!
@@csautomotive12 And your hands didn't even get dirty! Not like my 300,000kms model!
Just watched the wwhole series
Sweet! Hope it was helpful!
This video was forever😩
There’s a lot of steps to the job!
Is it just me or he taking out random parts too?
What parts are you talking about? Time is money so if I don’t need to let me know. Thanks!
