- Resetting the timing chain. Sorry for poor audio in some sections. Most notably, the section for matching the timing link on the chain to the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket is nearly inaudible. Just note that the crankshaft is turned counterclockwise, as needed, so the colored link lines up with a pinhhole mark on the sprocket. This is a popular V6 engine used in Toyota Camry, Avalon, Highlander, Sienna, RAV4, Lexus RX350 featuring dual Variable Valve Timing on intake and exhaust cams.

I was just looking around on youtube for information about 3.5L engines, before buying my next Toyota highlander. I understand the right and left looking out from inside of the car. This is the first time I got to see the timing chain and understanding more about this engine. Thank you Frank for spending the time to show us, I really enjoyed your video.
This is a great engine. It's beautifully designed and it is tough as nails. It's a HUGE improvement from prior Toyota V6 engines.
Believe it's Same V6 that's in my 2017 Lexus RC F Sport V-6,Strong as a SB V8 in Sport or Sport+ Mode.
Thank you! This video contained the information that was missing from the service instructions for a first timer. Really appreciated it!
Thank you for watching.
The nomenclature for the engine banks is related to looking at a rear wheel drive looking from the drivers seat, its a very common definition in Automotive...... So in summary the idea is to treat the dual overhead camshafts as if they are single overhead camshafts because the secondary cams are linked initially to the primary camshafts (Ones with the VVT assemblies installed)
The best engine in the Toyota market.
Nice video! Ill be using your instructions on the headache I got myself into. Dropping the whole motor/subframe assembly out of my a 2011 highlander. its jumped 2 teeth on the camshaft gears from a minor front end wreck. Got to do a bunch of disassembling!! People are worried about the 2K plus in labor cost?? You guys, the amount of labor is incredibly overwhelming! I am hoping I can set everything back to the way it was so mother can have a nice reliable car for a couple years.
I got a 09 highlander and having trouble. Do your car still start after jumped 2 teeth.
Awesome information - Love your channel as you enable ME/US to look after our 2GR-FE (mine is a 2015 Sienna Limited) Thx!
thanks for watching.
Hey Frank, thanks for the videos. Can you help me find a place to connect a water pump and fan for my water to air system in my 2005 mr2 spyder. I assume I’ll have to use 2 relays but am not certain what to tap into back in the engine bay for power. Thanks, Robert
Great explanation. Great video!
Thanks for watching and for commenting.
Nice video thanks
nice video
please for me a few information of 2GR-FE engine.thank you very much
Awesome video great help thanks
Thank you!
Impressed with your video, well done! is it possible to do this engine in place on a highlander?
Yes, it's possible, but it would not be easy or fun to do. There is a lot or disassembly required to remove the timing cover, with the work being done in a very tight space. There's also difficulty in supporting the engine properly with the oil pans removed (to allow removal of the timing cover).
Frank Saab thanks so much for taking the time to respond. You have a new sub. Cheers
Thank you for this video, it's extremely useful especially when I couldn't wrap my head around the manual lol. I want to ask, is there any way of checking the condition of the timing chain? I already have the engine out of the car (it needed a transmission replacement) and I thought I might as well reseal the timing cover whilst it's out of the car but Ive been thinking about whether or not it's worth replacing the chain and tensioners as well. The car has about 236,000kms but I wasn't the previous owner so I don't know of any issues with it. Thank you!
I believe that the repair manual does have a measurement procedure for the chain to check for excessive wear. With this kind of mileage and depending on your intended use this would not be a bad time for a re-fresh. The chain itself is cheap but if you did decide to replace it you would also want to replace the VVT gear/sprockets and the tensioners which adds to the cost. The best time to do it is with the engine out of car as these are a real pain to work on in-car.
@@Merryfrankster_ I was thinking that too, especially reading up that these engines are known for VVTi failures. Do you know what part is supposed to be used? Many people seem to say part 13050-0P071 but others say 0P080 and some others too. Also what's your opinion on aftermarket intake gears? Or should I stick with OEM? Sorry about all the questions lol
Just say no to aftermarket gears. I use nothing but Denso, Aisin, and Toyota on my engines. Honestly I couldn't tell you what part number to use probably the most recent one in the part supercession chain. When I need advisement on an issue like this I call up Conicelli Toyota which also operates Partznet their parts desk is EXTREMELY qualified and helpful and that's where I buy most of my OEM Toyota Scion and Lexus parts.
Respect.
I'm driving the GS450h 2006.
For six months, I have a car problem, and no master can find me a problem.
He does not report any mistakes, but he has a problem.
It's about when I drive it a little faster, after 30-40 kilometers, the car starts to lose power at the moment when I add it to the gas. This power loss is felt in the first 2-3 seconds, or until it reaches 150 kw, then it has total power. At that moment, it started to empty my hybrid battery and pulled it to the last dash, and it is very hard to charge. I have to stop, to turn off the car to cool down a little and then everything works normally, until I come back again. 30-40 kilometers.
The battery is new, I changed the pump in the changer, lots of things that I thought I should replace, and again I have the same problem.
Possibly restricted catalyst
hmm stange! It always is emptying your battery when you try to accelerate? Maybe a problem with the converter... or maybe it's just a broken battery. Have you made a battery check? could also be a broken e motor when i think about it, but those errors usually set an error code!
@@FuCaneNdaClique The battery is new.
There is no mistake, it just loses its strength when it gets warm, and lately I noticed that the same power does not exist when it's completely cold.
@@Rudovic100 that sounds pretty strange to me and I have never ever rode anything like that before!
The strangest thing is that there is no error code...
How much kw does the gauge show when it's cold?
@@FuCaneNdaClique Up to 150 kw will not drive, only 150 kw gets full power
nice
Thank you God bless you
Thank you for watching and for commenting and I will take any blessing I can get whether from God, Allah, Jehovah, Krishna, or Zeus - I love them all!
I have never owned a 4.0. Only 3.4, 3.5 both are impressive.
Impressive in its retarded design??
can you point where in the video I can see the location of the secondary tensioner?
the one on top secondary tensioner
When looking at an engine. You determine the right side and left side by standing where the transmission would be. Not the front
Did you just figure that out?
I have a problem with aligning the gears. Would you kindly advice me on how i can align them?
Sir you should be able to find the answer to your question in the video. The gears are aligned by using the alignment marks.
Is it possible for me to disassemble or remove bank 2 exhaust camshaft timing gear and replace with new one without taking out the engine or the entire chain ? I would appreciate your wisdom. Thank you.
Yes in most vehicles this should be possible without too much difficulty on Bank 2 (front) but more difficult on Bank 1 (rear). This is a link to a Toyota training video demonstrating the technique on a longitudinal 2GR-FSE, the same techniques apply for the transverse 2GR-FE.

Hello I'm in the middle of trying to take of the timing chain cover.. does the oil pan need to come off to take of the timing chain cover? I'm just re dealing the cover due to an oil leak
Definitely you must remove the lower oil pan then the upper oil pan before you can remove the timing cover. Do not try to force the timing cover off without removing the oil pans, you will damage something.
Hello, how are you.
I'm about to make a 3.5 v6 camry engine, can you tell me if you use struts under the swings, or if they go straight into the valves.
thank you
I believe that your question is: Is there something that goes between the rocker arms and the valve stems? The answer is yes, the valve stems have caps. The caps go between the valve and the rocker arm.
@@Merryfrankster_ Hi, thank you very much for the answer, dismantle a motor of this, and there is nothing between a valve and the ball, making a lot of noise and losing the pressure of oil by the tuchos, until the point of fusing a connecting rod. Thank you very much.
hello sir frank this is rey from k.s.a . i have a question about the two t.chain of bank 1 and bank 2 is the t.chain from bnk1 is different from t.chain of bank 2 reply pls.
Rey Bajar i think so no bro
no they're all the same. Even the gears are the same. This is why on all gears, there is a mark for 1 and a mark for 2. Means right hand bank = 1, and left hand bank is 2...
Quick question: do you need to remove the engine from the vehicle to replace the timing chain for this type of engine?
You don't absolutely need to but you are going to have a very tough time doing it if you don't.
Hey Frank I replaced the timing chain on my Lexus GS 350. I aligned the timing marks on the sprockets and crank, when I turn the engine the chain gets loose between the ideal sprocket and tightens up again . It shouldn’t do that right any suggestions.
Thanks
Frank A
It is normal to see some slack develop and get taken up when you turn the crank by hand. But without seeing your setup I cannot say if what you are seeing is normal or not.
Do I line up everything exactly the same on a 2.5 4gr? Looks the same to me just making sure!
In general the timing marks are self-explanatory. But if you want to be 100% sure then buy a 48-hour access to the Toyota Technical Information System (TIS) for $20 and download the relevant section of the repair manual for your car.
Is this non-interference or interference? having a hard time sorting through forums, people say both sides of the argument. Basically is my engine going to bust if the chain busts? or will the pistons and whatnot be fine and I just have to replace a chain and re-align the timing?
Good question. If this is an interference engine, moving the cam shaft, as seen in the video, without moving the crankshaft, would shove valves into pistons.
thank so Much
I am glad you enjoyed it.
It's possible to lose the upper timing tensioner without losing the timing chain?
Yes you can undo and remove the tensioners without moving the chain. Refer to the 2GR-FE Repair Manual for how to do it.
My question is can I put the 3.5 V6 engine from 2007 Toyota Camry in this 2008 toyota Highlander is it the same engine will fit be no problem or it is different please let me know thank you
It is mostly the same. The engine harness is different so you must use the one from your Camry. If the Highlander had the oil cooler option you will have to remove that and install the upper oil pan and cooling tubes from the Camry. The plastic intake plenum may be different in shape so you should swap the plenum from the Camry. The motor mount bracket on the timing cover side may be different so you would need to swap it. The alternator may be different. The long block meaning the valve covers, the heads, and the block, are the same.
i have the same engine, have 83,000 miles, at what point is the vvt supposed to be changed or how will i know its time or are there any warnings..?
This is good question. Normally the VVT gears should not need to be replaced for the life of the engine. HOWEVER.... there is a recall or TSB for some 2GR-FE engines that calls for replacement of the VVT gears. Here is the relevant link:
www.myvenza.ru/tsb/2GR-FE_ENGINE_TICKING_NOISE_AND_OR_MIL_ON_P0014_PO015_PO024_PO025_PO017_OR_PO018_T-SB-0094-09.pdf
As noted in the TSB, symptoms to watch out for are ticking noise on startup and illuminated CEL with codes related to the VVT. If you have these symptoms you should replace the gears.
It is also possible to test the function of the VVT gears. The repair manual for 2GR-FE lists a test procedure that is performed with the gears out of the engine.
Also you should be aware that the original rubber VVT oil line, with a rubber section, should be replaced with an all metal line. This is the TSB:
media.fixed-ops.com/toy_campaigns/90k_dlrltr.pdf
There is also a TSB affecting the VVT Oil Control Valves (OCVs):
alflash.com.ua/avtovideo/sienna/T-SB-0105-11.pdf
If you haven't done so already you should definitely do the metal oil line replacement. For anything else, just proceed as needed.
Thanks a lot i will try to follow your steps to set the timing chain for the lexus GS 350 2014 engin 2GR-FSE. hope it will work. you can do better video than this.
Thank you. In my next life I'll try to come back as a videographer not an auto mechanic. Then I'll make great videos but with crappy content. LOL.
Frank Saab LOL. you are 100% sure that in your next live you will become another person. you should of wished to become king or presedent. or you might be a machine, ston, rock, bird, animal or poor person. good luck in you next live. hope to see you on havain dear brother.
left/right is named facing car front or when driver sit in. but your right is half tooth off, is it ok?
You're seeing things. It is dead on and has been for more than two years.
As advised in the repair manual you must look at the alignment of the links with the marks FROM AN ANGLE or they will seem off.
Hola
Dónde puedo conseguir información en idioma español para este motor ???
What kind of information are you looking for? If it is the repair manual you can find it from Toyota on their technical website, but you must pay for access.
How far my brother
Are 3.5l V6 engines reliable? I have one in my 16Tacoma.
CLAYTON BISBIE yes
Fast ass fuck in a rav4 . They stopped putting them in that vehicle.
CLAYTON BISBIE the 1996-2002 Toyota Tacoma 3.4 liter v6 (5vzfe) is the most reliable engine ever put in either vehicle. It is bulletproof proof with many over 400,000. It is however low on power by modern standards and gets only 17 mpg.
I’d rather have this 3.5 or the 1-gr-FE 4.0 over the 3.4 just because no maintenance with timing chains on Toyota also there is quite a bit more power with them as well, the mileage they get out of them is just as good.
James BOB - no they are not , they have a head gasket and warped block issues.
👍🏼👍🏼
Hi I have 2008 Toyota highlander AWD
Bad engine.
But I have used engine from my 2007 Toyota Camry XLE v6 3.5 is it going to fits In 2008 Toyota highlander please let me know I will appreciate your help thanks in advance
You may have to swap one or more of the following: intake plenum, motor mount bracket, upper oil pan (if you have oil cooler), alternator, engine harness.
could anyone please tell me if this engine direct injection or dual injection with the port? this is why I end up here I was checking the owner manual for about half hour no specific talk regarding the fuel injection system !!! 2007 XLE Toyota Carmy 3.5 V6 if anyone knows much appreciated.
oh Jeez no the 2GR-FE from Camry Highlander Rav4 Sienna RX350 Avalon has no direct injection. The 2GR-FSE (longitudinal engine, rear wheel drive, Lexus IS, GS 350, Mark X) has direct+port injection.
The cylinder one have to be at TDC before starting to Install everything back
Thanks for watching.
The banks are not out of order, they consider it from the inside of the vehicle at the rear crank side.. Since the beginning of automotive engineering. You're not that familiar with engines I see
I am more familiar with engines than you are with dry humor.
One more thing the next idiot who comes along to point this out to me I will call him out for being a complete ass.
And anyway, technically speaking, Bank 1 is the one with the cylinder closest to the front of the engine aka cylinder 1 - that is the true numbering convention of the banks - because as you know (or don't know) the cylinders are staggered. This has nothing to do with where you are standing.
Frank Saab Frank Saab right and left hand sides are considered from the principle end of the engine. Aka the flywheel or flexplate end. While the non principle end, the end you’re standing on, would be opposite. It was an honest mistake because there is a lot to learn about engines.
LH/RH is correct, once you reference the front of the engine, the should be on the correct side
Glad to know someone is paying attention. This was a joking comment.
i want to do this on my sienna with 133k mi.
Do it you have my permition
This only convinent to be doing ehen the engine is on stand ... I don't know if this even possible when the timing chain cover is on.
No it is not. That is why the service manual calls for removing the engine to do timing chain service. Did you make any other great discoveries lately?
@@Merryfrankster_ so I timed the chain marks wrong on Bank #1.. read it wrong from my picture 😂 I'm redoing the timing rightnow and debating whether I should try to do this again while the engine is inside the engine bay now and main chain tensioner is off; but when I was doing the timing ( I actually lift the chain right above the bank 1 IN gear while cranking cams CC 60° (enough clearance as you are holding the chain with fingers with chain guide off and chain on crank sprocket still) it wasn't too bad at all for me. Only wish I didn't stop at 50° or w.e equivalent to about 3 teeths haha
Places can I come and work with you
hoping this is a good engine. my tacoma has it.
This is a pretty durn good engine. Makes as much power as the previous generation of V8, and very reliable, if you correct a few small issues.
Mine taps cold start a little scary
Same here. Found this, hope it helps ruclips.net/video/gwJ5BBHb9W4/видео.html&feature=share
hello stupied question do i need to take off the. oil pan and value covers to remove the timming cover im tryen fix a leak and wanted see if its possible withputh taking off neaither
In order to remove the timing cover you must first remove the valve covers and the upper oil pan otherwise the timing cover cannot be removed.
What happened to the audio?
Sorry, technical issue.
I swear that this is one of the best videos on youtube ever made and just seeing it again for the first time in several months I am impressed that anyone could pull off such a fantastic video. Watch it and weep motherfuckers.
Left and Right are as seen from driver seat point of view not you standing in front of engine.
Made total sense to me as well. When you look to the front of the vehicle, front is ahead, rear is behind. Left is left, right is right...duh.
CLETUS KASADY DO YOU MEAN DUH TO JOHNNY OR THE VIDEO?
IM CONFUSED
17model
Same engine as what they put in the Lexus vehicles.
This is exactly the same as Lexus RX350/Highlander and exactly same as Lexus ES350/Camry.

Malo para explicar
Why you people have to mess with these chains aren't they life long?
Could be for head gasket, could be for replace camshafts, or could be for no reason too.
It's possible to lose the upper timing tensioner without losing the timing chain?
Kamlesh Chedie ya thats possible bro...you have to remove head timing cover said this main open it ..than open total excuste cam shaft pic some off thi excust came shaft toward thi inlet and ur uper extrntioner comes out easily nd you yours uper timing chain remains stable thsn like this you can move excust cam up toward thi inlet nd pit extinetioner between them nd replace it likes ass he ist...
