I'm watching this video after a $5400 quote from Toyota today :(.

2:13 I am stuck at "release pressure at chain guide " part. I am on the drivers side so the layout is a little different than what is shown on the video. How much force is needed to relieve the pressure? I don't want to break anything but I'm putting a good amount of pressure on it and nothing releases the lever on chain tensioner....

Spark plugs tube oil leak repair please

Nice Job!

I stopped at 6:17 … more than exceedingly impressed with the guys knowledge and ability - which absolutely affirms that my great 2011 5.7 might be the reluctantant subject of a trade-in. I did have undying faith in Toyota craftsmanship. This cam tower leak coupled with a leaking differential - at 105,000 miles - convince me that I did not find the 200,000 mile vehicle of my dreams.

thank you ! Just finished doing this job following the video. The driver side tensioner seemed tight, but didn't click like the passenger side when reinstalling. Had some chain slap until the tensioner did it's thing. phew!

Uh did I miss you applying the sealant?

Where can I take my truck for this repair?

Just took my wife's Sequoia in for an oil change. And was told It needs cam towers re-seal. They want $5,000 is that an accurate price or is the dealer trying to screw me??

As a flat rate tech. I love these job. 15-20 hours to reseal the cam towers. Done by lunch time 😉😉good work brother.

Love these jobs as a flat rate tech 😉😉 I also pull the timing cover off with the valve covers still on 😉😉

If only leaking on the passenger side, do you want to repair both sides?

What is it with Toyota not using pre-made gaskets? What’s the cause of this problem? Is it a faulty design, is the factory sealant inferior, or is the sealant being installed incorrectly? Ever see another leak after performing the repair? How many hours of labor?

Clearly you're a pro at doing this job. What kind of time is one looking at to do this job? Is it a full day? A whole weekend?

Dealership wants $4000.00 to do this

Did I miss it! Never saw any FIPG used?

I need help anybody in Austin

EXCELLENT VIDEO! I’ve replaced many timing chains, and the 4.7 Toyota Tundra timing belt. I love the challenge, built many diesel and gasoline engines. This is incredible! Thank you very much, I know what it takes to keep the timing chain in place. I love the hexagons for the wrench on the cams. The hex lets you move them just enough to re-pin the dowel in the drive gear or cams. As long as you keep the tension on the chain so it can’t jump a tooth, you got it made!

Just bought a 2012 with 135k 5.7L in Feb. 2023. Was trade in at Chevy dealer. They must have cleaned up the leak because I specifically looked for it w a spotlight. Mine seems like a seepage. No topping off any oil. Also about 3 months ago, I have the infamous timing chain (slight) cold start rattle start too. Now I am thinking to just get the timing chain done and while im at it, might as well do the cam towers as well since its all there in one shot saving on labor. The wife and I like the clean accident free dealer serviced truck. With all oil changes done on time. I guess I cannot complain. Was $15500 plus tax, tags. Paid cash. Plan on keeping it a LONG time.

I own a 2013 Tundra 5.7 with 85K miles on it which seems to have developed a cam tower leak. My dealership has quoted me a $4,901.00 estimate to fix this issue. I realize this is a big job, however I'm having a problem spending that kind of money on a repair if it's only going to reoccur in the future. Can anyone tell me if the seals/gaskets have been redesigned to eliminate this leak issue in the future? Is there a better sealer to use or aftermarket seals that won't prematurely fail? A $5,000 engine repair bill on a Toyota engine with only 85K miles on it is a hard pill to swallow.

Where is this mechanic help

At what point did you replace seals or gaskets?

Man that engine was spotless

Where are you? You need to do mine 2013 82K miles 1 owner. They said they are a leaking! No gasket between the cam cradles and the head ??

Just had this done on my truck and he said tensioners are a real pain to get in and hes been doing this for literally 30 years said UA-cam video makes it look real easy lol price was 750 for both sides thank god I know him 😅

Anyone knows who can do this in maryland to my truck ? I would like someone expert on this.

Is it required to remove the fuel line on the driver's side? Or just makes it easier to get it out of the way? I prefer to not disturb any connections that aren't necessary, but some are just better to remove and clear out of the way. Thanks for a super helpful video!

Why not just remove the front timing cover? I'm new to this motor and just trying to understand (not challenging). Removing the front timing cover would allow you to also replace the tensioners (preventative maintenance if previous owner was lazy with oil changes), and make the chain/sprocket removal much easier. Or does that add a significant amount of time to the job? Just curious. This method looks like a great alternative but (sounds like from the comments) that the biggest struggle is getting the tensioners released from the top, hence the opening question. Thanks so much for a super helpful video!

Heyyyy!!!! I got it!!! I kept at it and just like in your video the little cylinder to the tensioner finally went all the way up, you just have to keep moving that lever back n forward and press until it'll finally release that oil trapped in there and go all the way up!! Thanks !! I'm on my way now!!! Tundra been down about 6months now...YESSS!!

By the way the beat is smashing baby love that music and really matches your work...the sound of i got this!!

Hello there, hey your video got me over a stump pulling my heads off, didn't know how to get my cams loose from my timing chain sprockets, so with your video I was able to move past that part and get my heads off to change my head gasket but now putting it back together I can't seem to get my tensioner loose enough to put my sprocket with chain on back onto my cams as easy as you did in your video...need help

Great work!

Sweet, it's only a 13 min job! 😝🤣

Brilliant, how much did it cost to build.

My man love the idea

Good video but this is beyond my pay grade unfortunately......

Is it the same method for the 1UR-FSE? Would I still have to drain the coolant if I have the electric fans?

How much would you charge to make me one and ship it to my house and would this plow work on any riding lawn mower?

Can I postpone this repair with an oil leak repair fluid?

Is there any risk of the chain jumping time on the crank sprocket doing it this way? Wicked shortcut, thanks for sharing!

Que bien se siente uno cuando lleva su carro a un profesional y te hace un excelenticimo trabajo eso no tiene precio

Any one please suggest how much it cost to repair at Toyota? Is it worth repairing it in small shop for less ??

Can you lmk what size tubing you used and how tall/wide the blade is. Looking to make 2. 1 for my atv and 1 for my riding mower

Brilliant sir where are you located I need both sides done.

Why the f are we still doing this i.c.e. bs? Dear Rivian: sold....

So did u drain the oil to get some more slack out of the tentioner because i am doing one now and its not pushing into the tensioner housing

How are the motors powered

If anyone else does this it would be super helpful to document it. It would be nice to have another guide just to make sure this process gets done correctly and nothing is damaged. Thanks for the video

Just found this video because I believe mines starting on the driver side. Super impressed by the video and details. You gained my like, subscribe and comment!

When this happens, is it a major leak? Will you notice a significant drop in oil level on the dip stick? Or can you just keep an eye on it and top it off if needed? I'm thinking of trading my '05 tundra for a 07.
