I am currently gathering parts to 5 speed swap my 2011 2AR Camry. I got a scion TC 5 speed since the bell housings are supposedly the same the only difference being the final drive. I’ve done hours of research and your video has been very helpful, I will most likely be referencing it a lot.

@@graydennsteadt5295 heck yeah! You will need all of the same parts basically. The flywheel of course grab from a 2AR or 2AZ, they are the same. The bell housings are for sure the same. You NEED the 2AZ cv axle carrier, and just use your stock 2ar cv axle on that carrier and you’ll be fine. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

@WiseGuyzGarageАй бұрын
@@dolanwae2718 I don’t believe VVT causes piston slap itself, piston slap happens when the skirt of the piston develops wear and wobbles in the bore. I would most definitely swap to the hard line man. The soft line is a ticking time bomb!!! I’m doing an experiment right now with my 2GR in my mr2 to run the vavloline restore and protect oil! It’s suppose to clean out the inside of the engine and help get rid of carbon deposits and things along that nature. I’m going to do an update video on it soon. Maybe if you want you can try that with me! I’ve heard you need to do oil changes sooner because the oil pulls so much debris out of the engine rapidly. Thanks for watching!

If they happen to have the same water pump design, I would assume yes. Its not the actual engines fault in this case. The issue was that they continued to drive AFTER the water pump failed. Multiple people reported that during a water pump failure the cluster notifies you and "bings" to pull over and park the car immediately. I'm going on a limb here, but I'm assuming they did not lol.

Excellent teardown video & analysis! I think many owners of Avalon engines like myself got an 'aha' moment here and after my car technician found the same problem after exactly that water pump failure I think we have a pattern here - i.e. you found a point that limits the life-time of this engine in a way that almost smells like planned obsolescence past the warranty period. Thanks for that mate!
@WiseGuyzGarageАй бұрын
Thank you very much I really appreciate it! Thank you for watching also! Like you mentioned, I think the pump failing right after the warranty period is pretty fishy... Isn't it? If its caught early, it will not destroy the engine like shown here. But if you keep driving it, you are in a world of hurt!!
@TheLittleAlienАй бұрын
@@WiseGuyzGarage I used to work in the automotive industry in Germany designing embedded systems for cockpits, sensors and telemetry. I quit the sector after design jobs went overseas stating we were too expensive. All at the same time they introduced 12 new VPs for the bollocks-whatever. Anyway I then decided to open up my own company and have been in electronics and automation since. That said I was wondering how it can be that the waterpump failure doesn't display on the Toyota CANBUS output. So my question was if it would make sense to produce an after-market supervisor for water pump status incl. flow-rate to support the millions of users with the same problem past their warranty period. Be it to make a statement that not all corporate schemes to have us buy new cars have to pan out at the expense of people that are stretched out and thin from the economy anyway. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.
@WiseGuyzGarageАй бұрын
@@TheLittleAlien Currently the instrument cluster does indeed display a warning if it detects that the water pump isn’t actually functioning or not. According to the comments left under this video, the message is along the lines of “pull over immediately and contact your dealer” and/or a warning on the display stating the engine is too hot and to pull over immediately. Depending on the service life of the aftermarket water pump would be the main selling point honestly. If you can make one that can reliably last 2-300,000 miles. I’m sure it would fly off the shelves. They seem to be switching to this style of water pump for the absolute most amount of efficiency as possible. So, I can see in the future that almost every car they make will have one. Hope this helps!
