LS 460 part 1 water pump replacement

[@Brother-Crow]

Super helpful, well explained, my waterpump on my 600 has died, so will be using this for help.

[@joev1779]

Thank you!

[@abea4696]

Good job for a first time doing mechanical work.

Nice info i just pulled my belt off and seen red pink residue Toyota colant crusted up all down the timing cover and noticed play in the pump back n forth made a whistle wine noise thought it was the tensioner or idler pulley

[@schuck9326]

Definitely bad water pump. Mine had no bearing play or noise. Just pink coolant clump. Working great since replacement.

[@fixesflyers]

[@schuck9326]

You're welcome.

I was able install the water pump properly and is not over heating. But now it’s giving me vsc system alert. It want pick up speed. It’s been sitting up for 3 months before I finally fixed it.

Thanks for the vid. I'm sure you'll figure out the recording process for future vids. question, is the pump run by the timing chain? Do you have to deal with the chain at all? Thanks again

[@schuck9326]

Thanks. No pump is run by serpentine belt.

[@schuck9326]

Don't have to touch timing chain

[@joelbeavers9197]

So is the water pump at the front of the engine on the LS460?

Hello, is A&B bolts the same length? I know both use a 12 mm and C uses a 14 mm for the water pump housing. Thanks in advance, Joel.

[@schuck9326]

@@joelbeavers9197 don't know what you mean by and b bolts.

[@schuck9326]

@@joelbeavers9197 just take your time and pay attention to the length of the bolts when you take them out and remember where any odd length bolt goes.

At what mileage did your water pump fail? I have a 2007 ls460 as well. It’s at 100k miles right now..just wondering

[@schuck9326]

Duc Le I bought with 166k replaced at 190. Don't know if it was original pump

[@RsxTypeRdamatic]

S Falana thanks for the reply. hopefully it will be good until 145k

[@schuck9326]

The bearing is what typically fails first in the pump and will get noisey. Then start leaking coolant from the weep hole, which usually you see on the ground. But I found out Toyota coolant can crystalize and will clump up on the engine instead of puddle on the ground. So look for pink crystal clumps.

[@schuck9326]

Duc Le bought at a hundred and sixty six thousand replace at 190 and not sure if it was the original water pump.

[@NeekBCoolin]

Good video, I'm about to do the same on the same car. Did you need a the special tool the manual says I need to hold the bearing in place ?

[@schuck9326]

NeekBcoolin no special tools. No bearing to hold on the 07 460L. Not sure what you mean

2015 GX is timing chaîne?

[@schuck9326]

Do a part search at an auto part site for your vehicle. What carry is what your vehicle requires. Or check owners maintenance manual to see if belt is required to be replaced.

[@elejes1218]

Do you know the location of the PCV valve on the ls 460?

[@hicks928]

You have to take off the intake manifold. It's in there

[@Ron-h4l]
