[@victorbaird8220]

Love the content! Keep up the good work. Keep on RAVing. I have a 99 RAV4 black and a 98 white, manual with 200k miles and my black RAV4 has 94 k miles on it. Bought 3 years ago with 64 k miles

I enjoy and learn from your videos. I like your thoroughness and dedication to doing the job properly and your commitment to make every part you replace as secure and clean as possible. You also have an engaging character. You do not have noisy and irrelevant introductions but get straight to the point. You are clearly intelligent, fastidious and possess a a keen sense of humour. You are the Tarantino of Rav4 instructional videos. And your teaching is very much appreciated.

[@m3inaz866]

Excellent video. Thanks for part numbers and bolt sizes.

[@almc-wi5vo]

Paul, I have a Moroso 6.5 quart oil pan. You came with this install just in time. Like always, you're the best. Thanks man.

[@TheMrBennito]

Very concise, to the point. That exhaust nonsense i will probably also encounter on my 97 Carina e. Corolla has the pan completely free of obstructions. Good to know there is a gasket with that exhaust flange. Wilk order a new one before doing the work:)

[@LabCoatPaul]

I have the Fel-pro 23626 part number memorized.

[@freddieb4268]

Last year I replaced the timing belt and water pump on my 1998 RAV4. It was easier the third time I had to redo it. Looking forward to the video!

[@Mrdrivereight]

Great video again sorry about all the new troubles. Can't wait to see what happens to the old rav 4

[@14rusto]

You are my go to videos for my rav. Just what I needed to know.

[@welcome2myworld1.o89]

You should create a go fund me account. If you want to rebuild the engine or engine swap to make more power. we should and will help pay for it!

[@rebeccamilitaocardoso3304]

That sucks. I hate for you to find a new problem in the car. The good news is that I have a new video lol thank man

[@wolfman175]

Loved the video as always but sad the hear the news at the end... that sucks...

[@shaun8309]

I just love your enthusiasm. 🤪

[@EugeneZhukovsky]

Your videos are so great, If you want to scrap the build I'd take it off your hands. Those engines are cheap enough to replace.

[@naikki]

Love your videos! I'm so gonna buy an old Rav 4

[@LabCoatPaul]

Even after you've seen how many problems mine has? You're either brave, or foolish.

[@naikki]

@@LabCoatPaul Foolish, definitely foolish!

[@ArtzFenix]

Love the sense of humor :) Hope the head replacement went well.

[@LabCoatPaul]

Thanks! The RAV4 runs great. Now to fix the 1,000 other problems...

[@dtec30]

sad but looking forward to you putting your spin on the tasks coming up

[@anacronisticcurmudgeonry525]

Don't feel too bad about the exhaust getting in the way. That happens to pros too sometimes.

[@Fosgen]

Add 500 mL of diesel before every engine oil replacement. Leave it idling for 10 minutes, then drain for 30 minutes. Helps to maintain sludge free engine.

[@МишаДержавин-ц2м]

excellent work, excellent job

[@jimpersson294]

Really love your videos.

[@leadster88]

Great video Paul, just wondering why you didn't buy a proper solid gasket instead of using silicone?

[@salami99]

Ive heard for offroading rtv takes rock hits better

[@ОлександрБідненко-д4р]

Как всегда всё очень досконально и красиво получилось . Лайк не глядя!

[@philiptaylor2567]

This sounds like a good excuse to do an ENGINE SWAP! Yeaaaaaaahhhhhh

[@AB-pb8oo]

I had a cloud of white smoke after coolant leaked into an engine, and the mechanic could not provide me with a figure on how much the repairs would cost me. So instead of taking this slippery road I've ordered an entire (used) engine from Japan and told them to swap it. It did cost me about 1K$ in total: engine plus labor, and took about 10 days.

[@Simnettnutrition]

I love watching you do all the things I should be doing to my Rav. 🤣 I recently found coolant and oil around the rim of my oil pan, any ideas on what that is from? Hard to tell where it is coming from.

[@LabCoatPaul]

Coolant on the outside of your oil pan, in the front of the engine, is probably your coolant bypass hose. Watch my radiator video at 2:14 kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4HClGWmq9R1qMU

[@bobdavislumbro4047]

Man I wish I had your knowledge and tools of course ! It's like watching Mcgiver!

[@eNigma22223]

Might as well get a 4.gen 3sgte engine now. Its almost plug and play they say ^^

[@truealchiemist]

Mechanically yes. 100% drop in. Electrically is a whole separate beast. Not hard but not plug n play.

[@elleyzansyahelleslash4944]

Hello bro...Do you have a video how to open a tank gas petrol ... and the way to cleanse it..

[@siamiam]

i really need to get this done soon

[@MorganFreemanized]

Was literally looking for leaks in from my rav's oil pan yesterday. Looks like we may be in the same situation. But I found coolant leaking from the return rad hose (I hope that's where it's coming from). Fml

[@Freedeeism]

You need a Patreon mate 😁

[@dtec30]

hmm do they still have electric rav4's in the USA ?

[@danemartin5674]

Great video.

[@LabCoatPaul]

Thanks!

[@kenmwanzia5331]

Hey paul much love from kenya. I have a similar car but automatic transmission. There is a big bang whenever i engage reverse gear. Any ideas what's the issue?

[@TheMrBennito]

Yep. Coolant mixing with the engine oil. Blown head gasket :(

[@salami99]

If using rtv i reccomend toyota rtv $20 it is the nest in the industry, tested. Or a gasket

[@Chikiblade]

i like your content

[@gofries]

Installing the oil pain took forever so idk how much of that cuts out of my 1 hour. We'll see how it holds up I guess 🙏🙏🙏

[@Henry-zm1vv]

can i not buy a proper gasket ?

[@НикНик-ъ3ш]

Hello, I have a problem with RAF 4.1, it stalls, it happens to be hot, it happens to be cold, I think an electrician, a signaling, help please!

[@emilye709]

Can you explain how tight the bolts should be by hand. I tried using a torque wrench and ended up stripping one bolt and breaking off another. I hate torque wrenches. I am a woman and not a very strong one. Should I hand tighten them my self or have a man hand tighten them a bit tighter? I was thinking hand tight then two rotations with a rachet?

[@LabCoatPaul]

I hate torque wrenches too! It's hard to describe how to tighten a bolt by hand. You can feel when a bolt stops turning, and with the smaller ones, you can feel them stretch a bit if you keep turning them. It takes experience to be able to torque things correctly by hand.

[@emilye709]

@@LabCoatPaul Thanks for the reply. Do you have any advice for using the torque wrench? I have it set property but it didn't click before busting the bolt:/ I had to replace the oil pan because the same thing happened last time I changed the oil. It just didn't click so I kept going. I bought the cheapest torque wrench I could find, does that have anything to do with it? I also waited till the next day to use the torque wrench so what I think happened, is that the gasket maker was dried on the bolt threads and made the torque wrench unable to detect the force because of the bounce of the gasket maker. Do you think that makes sense? I am just so afraid to use the torque wrench so my car has been sitting on risers for days now while I try to figure out what to do. The other thing is that some of the bolts do not hand tighten effortlessly, like the threads are not right(even while the gasket maker was wet) it is like the pan doesnt line up perfectly. I am using brand new bolts so I don't think there is much I can do about it. Any advice that will allow me to drive my car is greatly appreciated and I love your videos BTW!

[@LabCoatPaul]

@@emilye709 You shouldn't be using a torque wrench on oil pan bolts. They're little M6 bolts, meaning they're only 6mm in diameter. You can hand-tighten them with a small 1/4" drive ratchet. Did you buy a small torque wrench? 5.4Nm is not very tight. If your torque wrench doesn't click, it's either broken, or you're trying to do something beyond it's range. Most 3/8" drive and 1/2" drive torque wrenches don't go that low. A tiny 1/4" drive torque wrench could do 5.4Nm, depending on which one you get. I don't use torque wrenches for smaller bolts. Lug nuts and head bolts need a torque wrench, but everything else can pretty much just be done by hand. My favorite torque wrench is the Harbor Freight Quinn 3/8" drive digital torque wrench, for $165: www.harborfreight.com/38-in-drive-digital-torque-wrench-64915.html

[@emilye709]

@@LabCoatPaul I followed the video from L35 in Colorado and she said to tighten to 48in-lb to prevent over tightening. I had a torque wrench that can do ft lbs and didn't realize that i needed inch lbs until it was too late, which is why I didn't try to finish tightening them till the next day when I was able to go get the in-lb torque wrench. One stripped and one busted off so I didn't move forward with tighten any of the others. I will hand tighten them with a ratchet. Thank you very much, I REALLY appreciate you getting back to me!
