Removing the cylinder head and camshafts WITHOUT dismantling the timing chain assembly.(Toyota Corolla 2002- and very likely many others -Matrix)

[@josevicencio6081]

Thank you very much for the explanation my 2001 Toyota Corolla with 233 mil miles need to be rebuilding thanks again

[@danciambur4857]

I wish you success !

[@tayvonrose2528]

You saved my sanity. Accidentally locked my vvti gear after rebuilding my motor and was dreading removing the timing chain cover inside the engine bay.

[@Bradley0beaver]

Did you manage to remove cams without removing the chain cover?

[@carnivortanks2467]

Man you saved me hours thank you

[@danciambur4857]

My pleasure !

Thank you Sir, This is a life saving information.

[@SteveQuigey]

Good work

[@Bradley0beaver]

What stops the chain from falling off the crank sprocket ? Surely with all the slack it will just drop off and will be impossible to realign without taking cam cover off ?

[@danciambur4857]

You are right and I understand your concern. In my case, the chain didn't slide down - and I repeated that maneuver 2-3 time before filming. But, if you have further concerns, you can blok the left and the right side of chain using some thin wires - before to make this maneover.

Can this done on a 2009 Toyota Camry 2.4

Can this be done on a 2009 Toyota Camry 2.4

[@danciambur4857]

I took a look at a toyota camry 2.4 L - timing assembly (video clip). It looks similar with my Toyota Corolla. Very likely will work on camry 2.4 L but I am not 100% sure.
