Thanks for the great DIY video. I believe I'm experiencing the same problem that is addressed her. I would like to ask if you may have seen oil elsewhere due to Chain-Tensioner leak? I myself had oil all the way up to right side of radiator on the splash guard, on the CV Axle and on serpentine belt. No leaks near filter or pressure sending unit. Nor on the valve cover gasket,etc. I do see oil on the back side near chain-tensioner and below it. Also, how has your chain- tensioner replacement gone? Did the experimental seal replacement seal better? Thank you for your time and I look forward to your reply.

@@UnifiedPeoples So far, so good on my repair, but I really haven't driven too much, so I'll need probably a few months to really determine if the Molykote 55 and alternate/harder o-ring will do anything to prevent the leak. As for the leak - this leak can make a huge mess, to include the big mess you're describing. However, if you're not sure where the leak is originating, drive the car up on some ramps and slide under with some Super Clean (or other cleaner) and a roll of paper towels, and clean up what you see. Try to get it rather clean - it is worth the effort, and I know it is a pain in the neck cleaning under there! Clean up around the tensioner itself, then check back after a few drives to see if you can definitively locate the source. Another spot you can get a messy leak is from are the o-rings on the VVT solenoid and camshaft sensor - check out the video link below to see those items (they are super easy repairs, luckily!). Basically, if you're not sure where the leak is originating, it really is worth the time and effort to clean up the oil leak and try to find the source. I hope that helps : ) Here's the video on the other o-ring oil leak sources: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJq1oHWIZ5eXbMk

The tensioner is a culprit on the 2ZZ GE (Celica) engine and the O-Ring leaking. However, many replace the O-Ring and/or tensioner and it still leaks. Usually the timing cover gasket is the culprit then. The gasket dries out and cracks and leaks oil. However, always make sure some RTV is applied in key areas according to manufacturer tech book and correct torques when refitting timing cover. Otherwise the leak can come back. Brilliant step by step video here. Wish many people took the time like you have to explain clearly.
@L35inColorado Жыл бұрын
Yes, unfortunately that is a fairly common problem on the 2ZZ-GE engines as they get older. The 1ZZ-FE has a form-in-place gasket (FIPG, gasket-maker, RTV) for the timing case cover, and it seems to be a bit more durable as timing cover leaks are less common on the 1ZZ-FE. Thanks for watching and for adding your tips! : )

My multi billion dollar business could learn some best practices from you!
@L35inColorado Жыл бұрын
Thank you! That's great that you're making a video to show the proper techniques for your field's applications: I'm a big fan of detailed videos, especially for technical operations because technicians can watch and re-watch a detailed video as a sort of practice for the real work ahead. A good video can give a technician more confidence for executing a new operation, and for common operations, a good video can explain why a certain technique/step is necessary even when it is not apparent why it's necessary, and may even seem like "a waste of time". That's basically why I did this video - I noticed many people wondering online as to why a conservative mechanic might price this job higher and coupled with a valve cover gasket replacement, while many other mechanics don't. Some people mistakenly thought that the first mechanic was just "ripping me off!" because they didn't understand why he'd remove the valve cover when they've seen several videos on KZbin of regular people doing the tensioner replacement in 15 minutes, without removing the valve cover and "everything was fine". So, I just wanted to explain that while, yes, it is possible to do the job in 15 minutes without removing the valve cover (as shown in many other videos, and as even often done in shops by technicians, including Toyota techs), ultimately the person paying the bills and making the decisions needs to know that executing the repair in that way ("blind") comes with the very low-probability but very high-impact risk of timing chain skip on an interference engine, which typically causes catastrophic engine damage when it occurs. Here is an example, with a picture: www.toyotanation.com/threads/broken-cam-chain.1466994/ An average DIYer might not know that such catastrophic damage is possible from "such a simple DIY on youtube", but a technician or mechanic ought to know. A conservative tech or mechanic is simply not willing to risk chain skip on an interference engine, period, so he will spend the extra time and gasket to "just do it right" and simply remove the valve cover so he can see what he's doing, confirm tensioner release and double-check timing, and therefore eliminate the risk of catastrophic damage. Conservative mechanics also prefer to resolve doubt as much as possible/reasonable rather than to rely strictly on chance, so the visual confirmation resolves the doubt, too. So - anyways - a big thanks to you for making videos for your people, too, so that they can do their operations well and understand why they're doing what they're doing! And thanks for watching : )

Thanks for making this video !!! Chain skip is a really big risk for people who have older Corollas with lots of miles on them since the timing chain will be more stretched and have a much greater risk of having the chain skip a tooth. I have a slight leak on my tensioner and instead of changing the O-ring I simply added a 236 ml bottle of 'AT-205 RE-SEAL' to the engine oil when I changed my engine oil and that seems to have fixed the oil-leak problem for me.

Haha, yes this tensioner is much easier to work with, and it is nice that it is accessible without removing the chain cover. As far as the o-ring leak - I'm not sure what's going on, but unfortunately it has become a common issue. From what I understand, the factory installed o-rings (ie, installed in '03 - '08) lasted quite a long time and typically didn't start leaking until 10 years or more later. But at some point, the quality/supplier must have changed, because these o-ring leaks too often. I hope my experiment works! : ) Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!

Question, am I correct to use brake cleaner on the inside of the valve cover? If so, should I then give it a good rinse with water and dry? Thx
OMGosh!!! This is THE BEST DIY video on the entire KZbin! Detailed, thorough explanations, great editing, great filming, lighting, graphics. Not only the how, but the why and the why not! I came here because I have a P0016 code--"crankshaft position camshaft position correlation bank 1 sensor 1". My Autel code reader gave some possible fixes. I have replaced both crank and cam sensor (because they were easiest to do). Next is replacing the chain tensioner (its leaking oil also)--and while I do the procedure so expertly detailed in this video I can check timing and whether the chain skipped a tooth. Any additional suggestions? Do Toyota timing chains stretch/wear after 200k miles? Thanks again for the video!
@HildebrandoDaSilvaMacedoАй бұрын
Very didactic video! Besides a good instructor you're a very very good PRO. My only concern was about the distance of the tensioner piston once unlocked. If I may give you one advice, you should breakdown the video in parts (Part I, II...). Thank you, you are awesome. Cheers from Brazil!

what you do with the timing chain tensioner was the great help I know you change the timing chain itself on that motor I can use all the torque specs on it I would appreciate it

Excellent work, this level of detail gives DIY’ers the confidence to get these jobs done right. Would you recommend cleaning out the valve cover gasket with brake cleaner or degreaser before reinstalling?
@L35inColorado Жыл бұрын
Thanks! If you mean cleaning out the channel where the valve cover gasket fits with brake cleaner, then yes, you can do that. If you don't have brake cleaner you can use degreaser, or even just a paper towel to remove the old oil before installing the new gasket - just something to get it clean so you don't mistake old oil as a new leak after the repair. If you mean that you're re-using the valve cover gasket (like I do in the video) and you're asking if you should clean the gasket itself - then, no, I wouldn't use brake cleaner or degreaser on the gasket itself. Instead, I'd just wipe the gasket with a paper towel, and clean the channel where the gasket fits. I wouldn't put any chemicals on the gasket itself, as chemicals might degrade it's durability/make it brittle. I hope that helps - thanks for watching and good luck! : )
@ericvannielsen Жыл бұрын
@@L35inColorado Thanks for your response! I just meant the inside of the cover itself (definitely will clean the channel/not clean or reuse the old gasket). For instance, some shops throw them in their parts cleaner tanks before applying the new seal. As a DIY’er I was curious whether it was safe (or necessary) to clean out old caked-on oil with brake cleaner or whether that would affect the oil in the engine in a negative way, even if it was dried with a shop towel, etc.. EDIT: didn’t mean to say “valve cover *gasket*, just “valve cover”, my bad.

Great video! My mom was a master teacher and it was a joy to listen to her teach...same goes for you! I'm wondering if you have had any oil leaks since you did this repair...an update on the O-ring experiment would be great! There are some people who've had success using a slightly fatter O-ring (the size that is a standard measurement which is slightly thicker than the one you used). I'm curious what your thoughts are on that. Also, do you have any advice about how to troubleshoot if the timing chain seems a bit slack even after the tensioner is changed? Thanks! 🙂

Best repair video ever of all time ever. So how did the new o ring work? Is the leak problem solved? I wonder if someone put someRTV on the mating surface to the chain tensioner to the engine if that would help. What do you think?
@L35inColorado7 ай бұрын
Yes, so far, so good with the repair on the engine shown in the video. Regarding the RTV - that has been tried by others in the past, and it seems from the forums that the general consensus is...it doesn't work, and it just makes a mess for the next tech! Here is what I mean, from a post by a Toyota dealer tech: www.toyotanation.com/threads/diy-2003-2008-corolla-matrix-pontiac-vibe-1zzfe-timing-chain-tensioner-replacement.1255385/ I hope that helps - Thanks for watching! : )

I was able to do it without rotating the crankshaft at all. Just with a long narrow flathead screwdriver I was able to reach down and push in the tensioner enough to extend it.
