Those marks on the chain will eventually line up again. It takes around 20 turns or so on the crank. But not important as he mentions how to decifer proper timing. Excellent to.point how to release the tensioner. No one else on KZbin tells you to do this👍👍

This is very true, after making roughly 7 full rotations they should line up again.

At timepoint 15:32 the o-rings you mentioned that control oil pressure should be noted that they affect the thick VVTi cam next to it. On some other Toyota engines it is a figure 8 o-ring. Many times startup rattle of death will occur while the engine is building pressure. Some people have found when they have done valve cover replacement these o-rings come in the package as well and after replacement, the startup rattle went away. It is my observation that these o-rings fixed the issue instead of needing a new VVTi solenoid or variable cam gear.

I really appreciate you making this video as i thought i had missed timing. A tip for anyone having trouble getting the tensioner to release. Leave the nuts a little loose and tap it with a hammer, and then the tensioner will come out
@Chemike2111 ай бұрын
First off, ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED BY ANYONE. Followed your steps exactly, and am getting a p0012 code. No symptoms of bad timing, and I can't tell if I have reduced power. I replaced the vvt solenoid, and timing sensor, no luck. I'm wondering, if the chain was 1 tooth off hypothetically, wouldn't I get a misfire? If I don't get a misfire or rough idling, is it safe to assume my chain isn't a tooth off? The only thing I can think of, is that I set my timing correctly, but when I installed the tensioner, maybe it didn't expand right away, and when I went to start the car for the first time, maybe it skipped a tooth? I don't have any more ideas, and don't mind redoing the whole thing if I knew I had to. What I don't want to do, is redo everything, and get the same result because I didn't locate the problem.

Hi, Thank you for the timing chain installation explanation. This was great. 😊 My problem is the black timing chain guide does not stay in place while installing the timing chain cover. The cover seems to be rocking on what I believe is the timing chain guide. I am very frustrated the cover will not lay flat against the block. it either is open on the back side or open towards the bottom front. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you. Rgds, Mark

Very clear filming. What was the reason of replacing the Timing Chain? I'm asking because you didn't change the sprockets. If the chain was stretched it would have worn the sprockets. I couldn't imagine that chain ever stretching. If I could see wear on the sprockets It would have meant end of life has passed. How was it determined the sliders were bad? Is there a wear indicator? I would have considered changing the sliders too because they are plastic but if they looked new. Don't anyone get me wrong, I'm totally into preventive maintenance. Is the timing chain pre lubed? I would of really liked to see how you prepped the engine's deck and how clean you got the pistons. Yes you would have had to turn the crank to get each piston TDC. Just put it back right when you are done. LoL. Replace the VVT filter and check or replace the VVT Solenoid. The valve can fail slowly by not opening or closing properly making it hard to detect until it is changed and the VVT works properly. I really like your videos. I'm learning new ways of doing things. You are going to get comments because you display your work. I like reading them too. 👍
