2010 Toyota Corolla timing

[@MyDeere3320]

It's pretty easy when you have the motor out. I've done timing chain replacement on an Audi Q5 2.0T with the engine on the car and its doable thanks to KZbin videos like these.

Very Nice

You can go with the Toyota seal packing for the timing cover or save some monies and go with the orange RTV high temperature gasket maker found at your local Walmart or Auto parts store

After you align do not expect those marks realign again if you turn the engine...they wont!

[@keithbroh5730]

So it’s just an initial alignment? I bought a 2010 that’s a crank no start. 142k miles so I don’t want to think it’s jumped timing because it seems really well maintained overall. But from my tests it’s starting to look like the culprit.

[@Amerikanin2numarali_ustasi]

@@keithbroh5730 just align there and install if you turn the engine 2 turn it will not come ba to same place....I made that mistake 2 times so let people know :)....speaking of crank no start do you have spark ?

[@keithbroh5730]

@ yep I have spark and believe I have fuel. Engine would not fire at all but it started on starting fluid. Didn’t really sound bad at all besides what sounded like the starter trying to run with the engine and making that horrible grinding noise. I’ve decided to just take off the cylinder head and see what I see, heard lots about these cars having head gasket issues too so I figure best case scenario there’s no damage to the engine and I get to do the head gasket while I do the timing chain.

Thank you for the video and info in your relplies. Big help.

Hi, Do you have to do something when you changing the chain tensioner gasket only (chain and camshaft covers in place) to avoid it snaps from the crankshaft gear? Or it is not possible to loose timing when spinning backwards the motor to release the tensioner afterwards?

[@mrhelp126]

I have never replaced a tensioner without removing valve cover 99.9% sure if u was to remove tensioner without hold the cams they are gonna jump timing I recommend removing valve cover and holding intake and exhaust cam with a wrench may need a helper then once u have a good lock on them then undo and remove the tensioner

[@painkillerO8]

I had a neighbor changed my timing chain 6 months ago and yesterday the engine failed. When we took the timing cover off, the bottom small gear nut was loose 😢. Number 2 piston is broken.

[@stephencook7337]

What if piston 1 is tdc but the timing marks are off? Is that a bad thing?

[@Gregarious3]

This looks like it would be miserable to replace in the vehicle. Have odd sounding cranking. Are these interference motors?

[@jmunzo10]

Can you post a link to get a replacement timing chain ?

[@metrork1]

www.oempartsource.com/ They are the cheapest for original Toyota parts or you can try eBay

[@keiths3625]

Did you have any problems with the exhaust gear not wanting to line up on the chain in the correct spot?

[@mrhelp126]

keith no I did not I had the spark plugs out so no compression on both sides I did do one once it kept wanting to jump forward due to the way the cam lobe was pressing on the valve (left plugs in also) so I had a partner hold the cam with I believe a 7/8 or 15/16 wrench while i put on timing chain cover and timing chain tensioner once tensioner was in I pressed in on the end to release the hook and once tension was on it was fine

[@agbekomessah7074]

Ok

[@mrhelp126]

I have done several of these I have not tried using any other sealants the oem lasted over 100,000 miles so I decided to stay with it the others may or may not last as long
