Toyota 2.5L 2AR-FE Cylinder Head Removal & Head Gasket Replacement - Part 1 - Removal - Step-By-Step

[@mauricesilas9125]

I’m going to try this on a 2012 Camry in a few days. I originally put a used motor in it for roughly 5700 dollars. It lasted for 4 months or so. Now I have oil and coolant mixing together. It’ll be the biggest repair I’ve ever done. I’m hopping I can do it. With this video and rockauto parts website I can save some major bucks. If my vehicle operation is successful.

Good luck, if you have a problem shoot me a message!

[@Raygetplenty]

Yup I think I’m next 🤦🏽‍♂️ gotta do this also car is stuck 100 miles from me smh

[@motorcarnut]

Good luck with the repairs!

[@Raygetplenty]

⁠​⁠thank you so much , do you think I have to worry about bent pistons ? Bad bearings ? I see you weren’t to worried about that stuff . Have you tried to get the pistons all the way up or no ?

[@motorcarnut]

@Raygetplenty for a head gasket job there is no need to replace anything on the bottom end unless you had other issues before.

This video saved me a couple thousand and helped me soooo much. THANK YOU!!!!

[@motorcarnut]

That’s what I’m talking about!!! Thank you for the feedback!!!

[@davidrobinson1685]

How much you charge to do the job?

[@AaronMccalla-dn5wo]

How long does it take doing it this way?

[@motorcarnut]

Depends on experience, tools etc so hard to give a time

[@thanhnguyen-jc3ci]

very throughful person can you help me to find a mechanic to do that job in boston for 2012 rav4

[@motorcarnut]

Thank you for the comment! But no I don't know anyone in Boston.

[@user-wr2bf8zq1w]

I am near Boston area and am going to attempt to try this since today my car started to burn coolant.

[@user-wr2bf8zq1w]

2011 rav4 btw

[@alejandroarochi8878]

What about the timing marks???

[@motorcarnut]

Did you watch both parts?

[@Raygetplenty]

This car doesn’t have a power steering pump does it , how much harder do u think it is with a power steering pump. I’m probably going to have to take that pulley off as well ? Maybe ? I’ve worked on this area before but can’t remember how much the pump and pulley are in the way

[@motorcarnut]

Correct rav4 has electric steering. I have a video on a 2011 Camry that does have hydraulic power steering you might want to check out but I believe PS pump is located on the block so it’s not much different than without it.

[@Raygetplenty]

@@motorcarnut thanks yea I’m going to asset it when I get back to the car. I think you’re right it’s off to the side , beside the belt part. Either way it has to be done .

[@motorcarnut]

@Raygetplenty good luck
