Toyota/Scion Complete Timing Chain Replacement

If you don't already follow the channel, I had recorded this video in between the rain, but hope the video was still informative and helpful. This job took me about 2 hours and 10 minutes, but for you guys it shortened to a little over half hour you'll also see that I replaced everything with new parts to not worry about anything later or having to take apart anything again
NOTE:
making sure ALL mating surfaces are thoroughly CLEAN IS IMPORTANT such as Cylinder head, valve cover, oil pump, water pump, o ring groves, entire side of the motor where oil pump goes on to prevent a headache of any leaks and having to redo some or the entire job take your time and DON'T cause any damage to any of the surface areas
Timing Chain Tip:
When installing the timing chain keep all slack on the tensioner side then rotate the exhaust sprocket towards the intake cam to move all slack in between the intake and exhaust cams once you install the tensioner with pin still intact. Move the slipper chain guide inwards and all slack will be gone and recheck all timing marks before removing pin on tensioner.

I’m 20 and I wanna replace my lifters and you made it look do able even though I’m not very experienced. Thanks for the video can’t find any better.

[@willianzaldivar1944]

There is not so many videos done with your patience, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[@benjaminskwirut]

Awesome video. The tensioner, you only showed it after it was installed. Unsure exactly how to install it. Other than that, this is the best video on the subject.

[@jerzykolodziej8584]

Great video! Just to be clear that for DIY mechanics that are not so experienced, the bolts are not always that easy to remove. Good fitting quality tools make the job much easier. The Crankshaft Pulley bolt can be stubborn and a puller is required to pull off the pulley normally. The bottom bolt on the alternator is often stubborn, so care is required to avoid rounding the bolt head... prep with WD40 and find a comfortable working position, raising the engine as required. Also when positioning the camshafts and crankshaft be careful not to allow the pistons to hit the valves while turning the shafts into position.

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

Thank you, true depends on the condition of the vehicle mines has been well taken care of and came out with no issues and all I use was cheap hyper tough tools only expensive tools I have is my Ryobi tools

[@GamingNinja132]

I rounded off the bolt on my serpentine belt tensioner so I can't even get the damn belt off so I can check my timing belt, much less put it on

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

what vehicle you doing this on?

[@GamingNinja132]

[@anthonyvasquez7050]

Do the pistons actually go into the cylinder far enough for them to hit ? Damn ! I wish you showed the timing set up

[@maxpower001]

Hey dude.. crack those water pump pully bolts before removing belt.. saves ya a few mins... just a friendly trick of the trade..

[@kyLewiLsOn1351]

Just went through this on my crown vic. Did a power steering pump and water pump at the same time. Already had the PS pump and alternator off and realized I forgot to break loose the water pump pulley bolts before taking the belt and everything else off😂 thankfully whacking a breaker bar with a mallet got them free.

[@hershelstory3585]

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

You're welcome, job relatively easy take about 2 1/2-4 hours depending on the tools your working with. This job took me almost 2 1/2 hours in total to do but cleaning all mating surfaces, jacking the motor up and down and making sure everything align properly on timing chain takes the most time.

How many miles was on the chain? It stretched or wore out from lack of oil changes or just lots of miles?

[@Messy_Jesse]

Does that lightweight crank pulley help much?

[@crackerjack6075]

I wouldn't mind hearing from you (while you work), sometimes a little perspective of the costs parts & labor. I realize all the variations. As you did here, if timing chain should be replaced ~50k miles, then I would also renew the water pump, seals, belts, hoses etc You make it look so easy, maybe it's only an hour for you? But bill 3 hours for prep and finish, billing admin and such? Generally do you recommend Dealership, or other Pros could do? I need to get this done in the next 6 months, so I'm wondering, just general perspective, of what to budget

[@bryankrall8302]

Great video with part numbers thanks

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

Thank You 🙏🏼

[@michaelstclair838]

so for putting back timing cover what scdews you do first bottom or top for reassembling timing cover or there is a special pattern?

[@WhiteTrashGarage]

Very helpful, thank you brother

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

I’m glad it helped, thank you 🙏🏼

[@Reagansolum13]

How many miles were on your motor when you did this? I’m looking at buying a Yaris as a cheap daily. The one I’m looking at is a manual trans ‘08 with just shy of 200,000 miles on it. Is it something that would likely need to be done soon, if it hasn’t already? Not too afraid of doing. But, if it is something that is likely to need done soon I want to make sure I take that into consideration when negotiating price. Much appreciated and great video!

[@xotic2010]

My 2009 scion tC is nothing like this, with 2 o-rings at the bottom and all the guide all bolt in place. 2 bolts for one side in the front and 1 bolt at the bottom where you said just pulls out. And your camshaft gear is in the front of your vehicle. Mine is in the back for the intake. Oh and the water pump is separate from the timing chain casing, totally separate.

[@pho_giahan8385]

I really like how you work carefully, thoroughly and very relaxed, I am also using a 2016 toyota vios 1NZ-FE and also self-repairing like you. This video is very helpful to me.Please let me know if the crankshaft pulley can reduce the vibration like the original pulley of the car, because I don't see that vibration reduction rubber ring on it.

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

Thank you 🙏🏼 the lightweight crankshaft pulley I got from non stop tuning they come balanced so I don't experience any vibrations since it doesn't have the rubber ring in the center like the OEM one does

[@mandoky1647]

Is this the same for a 1zz fe?

[@akarendigital]

oh man this is so helpful. you made it look so easy without pulling down the engine. my vios is at 190k. do you think it is time to replace all of that parts? and do i need to use torque wrench to tighten the bolt?

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

I'm glad it was helpful. Na your good when you start noticing some slack in your timing chain or experience some symptoms like Timing chain noise, Engine misfire and poor performance, Difficulty in starting the vehicle, Illuminated check engine light, Engine vibration or shaking when idling, Engine won't start. Then it would be time to replace the timing chain I replaced everything while I had that side of the motor apart so I wouldn't have to replace anything later or take it apart again. I would say yes to using a Torque wrench to tighten the bolts since it parts of the motor

[@dgaleno2012]

Dam I knew I was missing that straight pin for the crankshaft pulley hoping the dealer has it in stock

[@TranquiloQuieto]

I have a question my 2006 toyota prius is ticking and I took valve cover off and saw that the timing chain was a bit lose. Now the car has no p0006 code should I still change it or keep looking for other problem?

Bro! Life saver, this may be the most thorough video on this subject, I need to do this for my yaris. I noticed you didn't take out the spark plugs, and so when you take off the chain you didn't have to crank anything?

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

Thank you, na you dont have to remove the spark plugs or crank anything until everything is back together

[@scottiemurdaugh]

do you have a video of starting the car after the repair

[@Natemce]

Thanks dude

You’re Welcome 🙏🏼

[@jessiedamon676]

after how many miles do you chain it

[@neildrd]

Just replaced my JDM 2000 Toyota bB's 1NZ-FE's chain, exhaust cam sprocket, tensioner and guides at 162K Kms. I could not see any wear on the sprocket, maybe 1/4 mm wear into the guides. Unfortunately I didn't compare old vs new chain for stretch but I suspect there wasn't much. OEM Toyota parts from that period were amazing quality. I should've waited until 250k to do the change. Only wish the crankshaft sprocket was replaceable.

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

Yeah 162k kms a little too early to do the replacement and yeah I wish the crankshaft sprocket was replaceable too.

[@anythinganytimealways]

How do you get the timing cover out of the vehicle?

[@MichaelGarcia-zd5jc]

Nice work. Do you plan on replacing your valve stem seals and piston rings anytime soon?

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

Thank you. Eventually not exactly sure when, but i may just get a remanufactured head or new if one of those a cheaper route cause remanufactured $350 and new head $500 and stock cams ill get rid of and transfer my jun cams over

[@haneralexispita118]

Superrrr

[@litespeed7715]

I have a 155k 2012 Yaris that I plan on running the wheels off of. I appreciate all your videos and I look forward to doing this one day myself. Just curious, what made you decide to replace the timing chain? And thanks again for sharing.

[@miket4383]

This helped me a lot with another issue thanks posting the video! Question though, I have to replace the crankshaft seal because the oil leak is really bad, I noticed that you didn't have the power steering belt attached, is this engine a different configuration? I have a 2005 xB and I assume I'll have to remove the power steering belt because it shares the crankshaft pulley?

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

You're welcome. Yes thats correct the 1nz motor that i have on my yaris does not have a power steering pump. Depending on region and vehicle some 1nz motors are equipped with a power steering pump and others don't, but all 1nz motors are exactly the same besides that 1 part attached to the motor

[@miket4383]

@@ScorpionMultimedia Got it, thanks! Last questions while I'm here... Not sure if you had to do this with your engine but have you replaced the rear crankshaft seal? I haven't done the full inspection with leak dye yet but I the last time I got under the car I saw oil leaking down the transmission and being blown towards the back so I'm suspecting the rear seal, could also just be the main crankshaft seal or oil pressure switch and being blown to the back too. Anyway, if I went ahead and replaced the rear seal I'd have to remove the transmission to get to it on this engine right?

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

you're welcome. na I haven't had to replace the rear crankshaft seal just yet. Not sure what vehicle your experiencing this issue with but on the 1nz-fe motor oil pressure switch is located near the middle of the motor above the oil filter so it couldn't be the one leaking it has to be the rear main seal and to replace that will have to remove the transmission

[@wanderingchef6620]

Do you have a list of bolt sizes

[@jgreenjeans]

Did you take the timing cover out through the top or bottom? I had to take out the bolt for the power steering and wiggle it out underneath after jacking the engine up and down several times. I don't know how I'm going to put the liquid gasket on without smushing it up when trying to put the new cover on. I'm in the middle of doing this job on my 2005 xB. This video is my "go-to" reference 😃 I have the shop manual but this vid has been the most help. Thanks

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

I took the timing cover out thru the top. Not sure if you have the same space as the yaris or little more but depending you'll have to either drop the motor or jack it up to be able to pull it from the top and that'll be the same way to put it back in with the gasket in without smushing it. You're welcome 🙏🏼 and good luck getting the job done on your Scion xb

[@danielwilliams3332]

So why not put the seal pack on the block instead??

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

You can, I’m just used to putting it on the cover itself

[@scottdunbar9808]

You have to jack the motor up a lot to slide it in easy… I’d recommend practicing before you put gasket maker down.

I have a 2016 Scion IA at about 140,000 miles I've been noticing a rattle type noise at startup once the vehicle starts it completely goes away I'm suspecting a timing chain tensioner maybe or maybe a loose timing chain what do you think of this it does not sound right but once the car starts it's gone

[@danielwilliams3332]

I'm working on a Yaris. Is there an reason that you can't put the seal pack on the block instead of on the oil pump cover assembly. I can't imagine getting that cover on with seal pack on it without rubbing some off in a few places. Then it would probably leak.

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

You can put it on the block itself, there’s no reason I don’t put it on the block itself I’m used to putting it on the cover itself I don’t ever have any issues, but I get what you’re saying if you’re not used to doing it how I do in the video
