One night, I replaced my water pump and timing belt on my 2000 camry. Aparently I had been drinking too much because the next morning, the water pump was spewing water from the seal; I didn't tighten the bolts past hand tight! Had to tear it all back down, just here for the memories and see if I missed a trick haha
whata crap car: exhaust occupied a lot of sapce dont know why, support enegine brakets are weak.. alternator is next to exhaust it will create problems, etcc.. Dont move engine, try yot get a tool to lock it, dont trust in timing marks, yu will create a problem in engine
These bolts you can get at Home Depot for 2$ if your kit doesn’t have those bolts. I bought 2- 6M - 75mm long. And 4 washers to keep them from sliding past the holes. Thanks for this vid bro.
A Milwaukee cordless impact will break that crank bolt loose with ease. starter bump method works 95% of the time, I usually use that first especially on Hondas.
My son’s 97 Camry has a blown engine and having trouble removing the pulley bolt. Will use your method, glad the engine still turns over to this procedure.
THESE ENGINES LAST 500k or more. THE ONLY THING LIKE WITH ANY CAR IS THE SEALS GO BAD WITH YEARS OF AGE, BUT IF YOU HAVE THIS CAR AND ARE THINKING ABOUT REPLACING THE SEALS CAUSE ITS LEAKING ITS ABSOLUTELY A NO BRAINER,GO AHEAD AND REPLACE ALL THE SEALS CAUSE AFTER YOU DONE YOUR NOT GONNA NEED ANY OTHER CAR FOR YEARS AND YEARS! U REPLACE ALL A SEALS IN 2001 CAMRY IT IS SO WORTH IT CAUSE U WILL NEVER WORRY ABOUT ANY LEAKS AGAIN AND YES THESE CARS LAST LIKE 500K TO 600K MILES. There freaking tanks!!!!
Great video. I recently changed the oil pump seal on my 97 camry and i replaced the timing belt while I was in there. Now the car won't start so im thinking that i didnt set the timing properly. I tried to start the car 3-4 times and it cranks but doesnt start. My question is could i have caused damage in the engine by cranking it while the timing was off?
Check wiring and make sure nothing was disconnected. If timing is off one or two teeth engine should still pop or sound like it might start. If it doesn't do anything timing might be really far out.
I did the same thing with an ignition bump but now the engine won't turn over properly without locking up or almost locking up. Thinking I might have messed up the flywheel but idk.
@ 4:27 I see a the line of gray soft caulk like 'sealant' that runs along the edge of the timing cover. You can see it just below your left hand. It is about 3/8" wide and it runs all around the top and bottom covers. It stays super soft and spongy when dry. Do you know the name of that 'sealant' or 'caulk' and where I can get it ? Or do you know of something else I can use in its place? Much of mine is missing.
4:48 ~ Technically speaking, it's the Harmonic balancer bolt, but potato, potawto.... Also, there is a MUCH easier way to do this beyond using bolts and angle iron to make a tool.
Is it difficult to get the crankshaft sprocket off? I think my leak maybe coming from there. I've seen your other video on the seals and you skipped that part.
I know Im randomly asking but does someone know of a method to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I love any help you can offer me
@Alvaro Azariah Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
You can reuse headbolts. I had 10 thou shaved off head cause of boil. All acid washed etc, all parts were good.@ 317,000, expecting 1,000,000 ks. New radiator,water pump,thermo,rad cap,rear shocks. Tows 650kilo caravan. Yee ha.cost me 250 bucks.

I used the trick of bumping the engine starter with a socket and breaker on the cam bolt, braced on the frame. Very sketchy but it worked!
One tip: turn crankshaft or camshaft pulley clockwise 'only' to align those marks.

where exactly did you use them?

My man is a life saver
I just don't have the patience or time anymore to do jobs like this. I bite the bullet and pay a shop nowadays. Hey at least I have NO car payments!

Thicker oil.
do you have to support the engine on stands when you remove the engine bracket?
The bolts for the alternator are NOT all 14mm. Only the pivot bolt (towards the rear of the car) is 14mm. The other 2 are 12mm.

Not on this engine. This is a non-interference engine.
Check wiring and make sure nothing was disconnected. If timing is off one or two teeth engine should still pop or sound like it might start. If it doesn't do anything timing might be really far out.
It should at least backfire maybe I would think?
Lol you made the bracket removal seem a lot harder than it was, I just used a 14 mm wrench lol
So can I just take off the alternator to do the water pump or do I have to do everything else as well. I only need to change the pump
You might as well change everything else if the engine is opened up buddy.
No you have to take the timing belt off to get access to the water pump
I got a question if anyone knows if a block from a 97 camry would work with a 2001 head, its the 2.2
0:31 Can someone please tell me what that part is below the alternator with the two hoses going into it?
I did the same thing with an ignition bump but now the engine won't turn over properly without locking up or almost locking up. Thinking I might have messed up the flywheel but idk.
I doubt if the bump did that. More likely maybe something else in the timing belt replacement is off a bit.

I don't, but it reminds of the sealant used on the outside seams of campers. It's called lap sealant and sold by a company called Dicor.
@@TheOriginalMechanic Hey WOW !
I looked up what you said and I do believe that will be the right stuff.
Many Thanks. !!
Good looking out on the Video it really came through
Hi; Great video. Is this a "clearance" engine, if the timing belt breaks will it damage the valves?
No
No it's non interference

I had a hard time with it. I show my efforts starting at 4:45 and how I finally got it loose it 6:00 in this very video.
97 camry coil pack engine 4s or 3s
Good day how can I get a bottom off
Great video...thanks for the knowledge sir.
4:30 what is that cap ur left hand is touching? Im missing that
what crap??? all the car is a acrap,, lol
I like the lamp lol
If you had to replace the motor, what would you use? A rebuilt, a JDM, a salvage yard or something else?
How does the crank gear itself come off? Can I use my puller kit on it?
I see no marks at all yet and my riming belt is off

@Alvaro Azariah it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass :D
