the first time I watched this video, I thought "no way"....way too many steps. after the 3rd time, though, it seemed possible. I made up a numbered list for each step and numbered a corresponding plastic baggie, dumping removed parts into each as I went along. I had the head resurfaced, just to be sure ($100). I just finished the job and the car started right up! the only glitch was that I got an error code for the MAF sensor...easy to find that I'd missed hooking that one up (it's not visible looking down at the engine, and the connector was dangling alongside the injectors, masquerading as one of them). thanks SANE for giving me the confidence and guidance to do this job myself!....my local mechanic wanted $3500; it cost me less than $200 (including having the head resurfaced and replacing the head bolts).
🏆👊 Thats a serious win. You saved a lot of money. Your Awesome!! You could put the old head gasket in a picture frame and consider it a trophy that came with a $3300 prize.
How about the head gasket replacement.
Lol you have that list lying around anywhere... I have a sneaking suspicion my head gasket might have a small leak... I'm gonna do an early oil change... Just threw new fuel pumps and ignition coils/ spark plugs on mind... But I noticed my coolant level was slightly low each time which has never been an issue before
@@seanbouker Sure sounds like a head gasket leak. Go on eBay you can find a head gasket kit for around $50. Hopefully you will not have to have the head shaved. If the head it self is beyond .002 of being flat, you will have to take it to a machine shop. My final torque of the head bolts was 62 FT LBS. My Prius is still running well after reassembly back in May of this year.
@Jan Jurnecka Can you share your list with others??
I live in Oregon over on the coast, nobody over here, including the Willamette Valley, would even touch a Prius and the couple that would wanted $6000.00 to do it, for a flipping head gasket! Unreal! So obviously I’m doing it myself, thanks for your video.
Thank you for doing a full length video on this! This is what people want. I will see UA-cam videos that try to cover a complicated repair like this edited down to 10 mins where you learn next to nothing. I’ve watched several of your videos now and greatly appreciate you taking the time to make a video that is step by step and not rushed. Keep up the good work.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your kind comments!
I'll never forget changing my head gasket in my 2010 prius it took 2 days. I just remember being really sore afterwards but very rewarding. I had to take it apart twice because my timing was off motor sounded like a dirt bike the first time.
Probably the best video on the Prius head gasket job. Thanks for the detail.
Thank you for the Awesome comment!
Just finished my head gasket following your steps! Started right up after getting it back together!
Great job! Dusty. Still got all your fingers?
@@saneauto😂😂
I just finished replacing the head gasket on my 2013 prius thanks to your video. I watched it half a dozen times before i started the job and know am glad i did. With out your video I don't think I would taken on the job, it took me about 3 weekends to do it, I did have an issue; I bout a new water pump from Amazon for about 90.00 dollars that turned out to be a bad unit(the car was over heating) so I bout a second one, but this time I bought it from the dealer and once I replace it, the car stopped over heating. The car is working great now. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Hey man just wanted to send out a big thank you for making this video. I was successful in replacing the head gasket on my lexus ct200h using your video. Again, thanks for taking the time and making the effort to put these videos on UA-cam.
Glad it helped. Thank you for the motivation.
Had this on my phone fixing my Prius the whole time. Thanks man!
1:45:15 He is WRONG!!! DO NOT put any RTV next to the upper little holes like he does. The workshop manual for this car says to put it ONLY on the sides. No where near that little hole like he does. Best case scenario that will block off only half that port when it pushes it out. Worst case scenario it will block it off completely and no oil will get to the camshaft bearing = a fail not too far down the road. Either way it's bad.
Wow, you are the man. You really handle your sockets and wrenches. You take the hoses off with ease.
Thanks so much for this detailed video! I just completed my 2015 Prius head gasket replacement successfully. The biggest snag I had was needing to buy a better impact wrench to remove the crank bolt and then making sure the proper orientation of the timing tensioner. Also, having faith that the tensioner would release correctly from it's clip upon start up made me nervous. In the end it all worked out! Thanks again.
Thank you for your kind words. I have made a shorter more focused yet very detailed video on the timing marks without any of the other work in case you ever need it -- ua-cam.com/video/LK_10xJz8cQ/v-deo.html
Your video and links are really great. I am doing a head gasket now on my sons Prius. I was a little worried until I watched your video. Great job.
Good video-definitely doing it ourselves, looks like other toyota stuff we have done, just close quarters. Thanks for all your descriptions
Your right, its really just another Toyota 4cyl as far as the repair work is concerned.
Thanks for the video, really helped me get this done on my 2010 Prius. Misfires went away, but recently came back after its first oil change after the head gasket change. And now I'm completely lost. It was running smooth for months, don't know what to do now.
make sure you're not overfilling the oil.
You ever do EGR valve my guy? And cooler? I just did those and misfires went away
ALERT! This car contains a boobytrap that can add hours or DAYS to your repair: The 17 gold colored head bolts that hold the cams to the engine head are Torque To Yield (TTY) and should not be reused because there is about a 50% chance of breaking one off in the engine. None of the manuals will tell you this and the replacements are not included in any of the rebuild kits. We had to order through a Toyota dealership so have a bolt extractor handy before torqueing these to 20 ft lbs.
Amazing job Sane, wow that's a lot of things to know about, those cordless tools are certainly a must. Have an amazing day!
Thanks for taking the time to post this video. After watching 3 times I felt I could do it with attention to organization of parts. Your sense of humor helped calm me down when I would get impatient for the job to be over. What I realized while half way through was that you took time out to set up a camera to record these steps. With my hands covered in oil and grease I would not even think about setting up a camera to help others. When I got to the step of putting the camshaft rod carrier on top of the cylinder head my heart dropped because while it was in place it was wobbling. In your video you mention that it will rest on rockers in the up position (or something like that). Maybe next time mention that wobbliness is normal and will not impede the process of tight sealing the carrier to the head. I really appreciate your dedication to helping others perform automechanics and saving them lots of money to the dealership. In my area the dealership recommended a refurbished engine and installation to the tune of $11,000.
One thing I've noticed that I really find value in from your videos vs others, is that you actually show taking components off even if you yourself think it's braindead obvious on how said part is removed. Example, the timing chain. Other videos reference the 2 bolts holding the bracket on, and then they say to remove the two plastic brackets and then you can remove the chain... Next shot shows the chain off, but the bracket at the top is still on, as if the chain magically came off without taking that off. You actually acknowledge these mini-steps for me and my idiot brethren out there. This is just one of many examples i've seen so far. I also have to note that you take the time to tell us where the "oh shit" problems can occur if you don't pay attention (I.E Gaskets falling out, etc).
Thank you for your well thought out comment. I will try to remember to keep including the small details that can help avoid most of the frustrating missteps. Sometimes that includes showing how I messed up so you dont have to.
I took mine to Tijuana they did mine for $400 in 2 days
That’s the bargain
could you share more on the details? thank you
More details, por favor.
So at the end I went with gasket master, 1950
@@shiyiyin3403, I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Did you do anything else? Oil catch can, new water pump, etc?
This video really help me a lot I like the detail, I can go back and forth when I get stuck unlike most video 1 hour or less. I was able to put everything back together and start the engine. I had the head resurface by professional but unfortunate the engine block have micro line it doesn't feel like a crack I thought it was a stain from cleaning them with carbon cleaner on cylinder 1 and 2 where the leak are, after I put everything back together steam still coming out from the reservior almost unnoticable.
Warning, It would be a good idea to set the orange switch on the dash and in front of the steering wheel so it won't be forgotten. If you do forget you stand a good chance of blowing out your ECU when you go to start it.
great video...I'm now immersed in the project myself. I have two small (1") plastic cylindrical pieces, with small hollow cylindrical protrusions at each end, that aren't mentioned in the video and I think were attached to the head. I'd appreciate some insight into where they belong. Also, "it's not easy being greasy" keeps playing in my head like some alien worm!
found where they go, I think....fuel rail!
Yes they go with the fuel rail. There is a better look and explanation of these in my video about replacing the Fuel Injectors.
My local Toyota dealer asked for $ 6,500 plus 10% tax. This is nuts. I am doing it myself….
This Fel-pro is probably the best Headgasket on the market. amzn.to/3HNNqhN I usually replace the timing set while Im in there too. "If it hasnt already been change recently". I hope your succesfull and finish the job spending less than the sales tax would have cost.
Don’t ever go to dealer for this
Back in the old days we also checked the block for war-page, maybe today is different than the old Alfa Romeo 4 cylinder or the 1963 Maserati 6 cylinder with duel ignition and Lucas fuel injection they were much easier than today's complex engines?
Still a good practice today. The last time I was within 6 extension distance of a Classic Maserati was when I filmed this Million Dollar 1970 Maserati Ghibli Spyder ua-cam.com/video/DjqCLkQWnEg/v-deo.html
The screw you found on the side holding the EGR radiator is supossed to be M6 (I believe) with a 12mm socket not a philips one.
Yep!
You are the best and most detailed at explaining the steps. Thanks so much!
Excelent video! very detailed and step by step for this big job. The best part of this video was at 1:14:37, the tiny piece of paper on the oven top :-D
Thank you very much! Your Awesome!
What grid sandpaper did you use to resurface the head? Thanks. Amazing video. Love the organization.
Many thanks for this video, very thorough. I'll watch it a few more times I'm sure, and comment more. For starters: around 1:17:25 you mention you like to put a tiny bit of spray lube / assembly lube. Repair manual confirms, says (page 2882): "Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads and under the heads of the cylinder head bolts".
Also from the repair manual, the socket for head bolts is described as: "10 mm bi-hexagon".
Thank You for your kind comment. Thank you for adding the info. Now I know what the new VW name is for that tool.
Head bolts are indeed #12 Triplesquare.
Did this work for all of you or did anyone have warped head or block? I need to do it just weighing it versus changing out to a low mileage engine.
One mechanic quoted me $1k plus parts. I don’t trust his work that much to do the job. Doing it myself. I will clean it all up and have it look like new. Haven’t found too many mechanics that take pride in their work..I have but they charge a whole leg
HELP! I Think I did it wrong!
at 1:45:10 you put gasket maker in-between the cam train and the timing area
I was told NOT to do this - so I did not
How bad is it?
Also, do you replace the Water Pump Gasket?
Followed along and knocked it out over a couple of weekends. Great video! This job coupled with trans fluid change and my ride runs great!
Great step by step guide for the do it yourself project!
What kinda cleaner you used to soak the heads out ? What kind of sand paper did you use for heads ? Thanks,
Well done for a extremely complex job, "Thanks"
Thank you sir
Muhammad Suleiman.
I watched many other videos so far you are my favorite I like the way you organized and the way you explain things good work.
Thank You for such great comments.
Looks like a Prius mechanic can make a small fortune, replacing all these head gaskets. Seems like it’s a matter of when, not if, it fails. Smh I have the 2011🤦🏻♂️
Got a 2010
Seems like it’s about that time for me sadly. Engine shakes on a cold start at least 1 month. When a I accelerate heavy from a complete stop the check engine light flashes
@@ophrasbankaccount7716 I watched a video the guy said if you continue to drive it. Eventually the leak will not allow the piston to compress the coolant in the cylinder, causing catastrophic damage to the block. Via a busted engine block.
Drill a small hole at the end of the sheet metal before welding and the crack cannot go any further depending on the type of metal brazing might be in order?
Yep that works. Back in the 80's my friend taught me to do that with old Harley and Triumph fenders. He was the smartest Army Engineer I ever knew.
Great video thank you
It may be possible to just leave the a/c connected. If coolant should spill into the open compressor connector it can short it out.
1:47:15 you cut the footage just short, so we don't know the torque requirement.
I have a question. Do you check the deck as well? How do you make it straight? Or is it even necessary? Love the video. You are very thorough. Kudos!
From your experience, can you say statistically at what mileage this fault occurs most frequently? Great job with this video, it looks scary at some points!!!
Sandwich bags and Sharpie tip 👍👍
I hate that Toyota doesn't provide a gasket especially for the cam carrier. This spacing seems critical for valve timing. Hard to believe they are as reliable as they are. Everyone who's not a mechanic thinks they are the pinnacle of engineering. Except Scotty. 😂
Please include an affiliate link for torque wrenches you would use. If I’m paying a lot of money, you may as well get a portion of it. 🙂
I like the old school beam style aka Needle type torque wrenches best. This is a newer version of the one I use the most -- amzn.to/3YVTKfr
@@saneauto sorry but I won’t be getting that. Consistent bad reviews of poor quality reliability to perform the job it was made to do. I’ll look elsewhere
Watched video so many times. Video is one of the top Videos on this subject. What is the part # for the Water Pump please?
Here is the water pump amzn.to/3EeLpu5
At 1:49:25 I believe that 20 inch pounds is wrong, bigger bolts 🔩 12 mm are 22 foot pounds and 10mm are 12 ft pounds,
Thank you for watching so carefully and so far into the video. Your Awesome
@saneauto I have a 2010 prius same color and it is having the same issues as yours. 1/3 of the way through changing the head gasket I was getting ready to pop off the timing chain cover but there was a bolt being blocked by a small pipe. This pipe was held by a 10mm bolt, as soon as it was loosened clear oil shot into the air. I can't tell if it was the ac compressor or another device. Please help me identify the part and how to re-pressurize the system.
LEGEND HAS IT THAT CAR NEVER RAN AGAIN
It has no legs. Best it can do is roll.
Great education content, thank you thank you for taking your time man to document it all for us!
I'll be doing this with hand tools in a Walmart parking lot. Hopefully not until I'm in Grand Rapids Michigan in a couple months and not here in Baton Rouge where I am now. St Louis would be ok or maybe O'Fallon Illinois
Dont wait too long or you might be watching my Prius engine install video -- ua-cam.com/video/shYB90AXcsM/v-deo.html The hydro locking on startup hammers the rod bearings and crank journal into scrap metal.
Why did hou have to remove the rocker arms, cam shafts and the retaining nuts? Does it not give you enough access to remove the bolts?
dude 4800 to have it done on my 2010 at my local shop gonna be starting this weekend🙆♂️
Saneauto

Loved the video helped out a ton. Where did you get the sand paper to lap the head
amzn.to/3ED2Dld
Quick tip oil your head bolts before torqueing them
Is this car still on the road? Any engine problems since the replacement?
Thanks Victor....extensive guide with great tips.... you asked....2600 can. plus hst here....you also asked...head gasket kit unavailable now nov 2021...and l agree bolts should be new...
Its the little details that scare me like properly preping sealing surfaces and to use gasket cement or not and locking down overhead cam how does it work using paper towels. Flat glass plate surface preparation for head surface sanding brilliant . Are the sanding lines ok to leave or did the micro drill clean that up too. At 100 can per fill up saving vs my ford it hard not to consider doing a correct fix.
Thank you for such a great and informative comment. I have always done new head gaskets dry. no sealant. I slide the head diagonally both ways a few times when finished sanding. It leaves a bit of a cross-hatch pattern. Good for gripping the head-gasket. amzn.to/3qPHvTb
thanks for sharing this video. What number of sand paper did you use for head engine and cleaner?
What a banger of a video. So was this shot over the period of a few hours?
Thank you for your complimentary comment. Working around cameras and repositioning cameras more than triples the amount of time this job requires. So yes without filming it takes a few hours. with filming, 2 full days. Then another 3 days of editing. Heres a few more like videos like this one. linkshortner.net/ElRkF
A hack saw will make it much easier to get at that insane bolt on the bottom of the EGR. Problem solved for the next time you will need to change that dam head gasket.
I'm at the point of taking the timing chain off but I noticed that my orange links don't match up with the timing makers. Will this matter during reassembly?
Great video, great mechanic.
Awesome Viewer. Awesome Comment.
Thanks, Victor!
Mike, You are AWESOME!!
i'm struggling to unscrew the harmonic balancer bolt, even with milwaukee M18. Every video about prius head gasket job is missing this part, and in some - impact wrench can remove it. How did you manage to remove the bolt while making sure the engine does not turn? (and yeah, all pretty much only talk about how to pull it out).
Also, is it fine if while removing it, the chain moves/engine rotates? it wouldnt affect any timing chain setup later, right?
Dude those valves look really dirty . Did you replace the valves guide seals ? Lol 😆 good. Do you replace the timing Chain as well? Oops no cilicone on those holes it will clogged oil ports ....
Dear @saneauto. By any chance, are you due to replace the prius gen 3's valve stem seals? If so, would you be kind enough to make a thorough step-by-step video of it please. Loving the videos and commentary.
Thanks for your comment and video idea. Sorry I always have the shrader valves replaced when I get new tires.
@@saneauto thanks for the reply. I meant the valve stem seals on the exhaust inlet valves and inlet valves. Regards
At 13:35 you take off the passenger side wheel and about 3 or 4 connectors that are located around the oil pump. I have a male-female connector at the end of the cable which goes back up into the firewall and I cannot figure out how to get those connectors apart. I don't want to break it and I don't want to cut the cables and spice them so would you please explain how you took that connector apart. Thank you!
Mr. Sane. Thank u. For the bolt explanation. I have a question on the passenger engine mount. That little cable that is also a ground, where do i connect the other piece? Can u tell me plz
To the tappet cover or would like called the valve cover.
Hey great video, I just completed my head gasket repair myself, your video was a big help. I have one question, regarding the charging of the hybrid battery if you would be so kind as to answer. I put the car in maintenance mode to only run the gas engine and burp the coolant system of any bubbles, all seemed to go well; turned it off after. Started the car to drive it close around and it seems that the hybrid battery is only being used down one line or so and then it is charging it back to full. Is this normal and will adjust to using the battery level longer taking it down more and then switching to charge it? Or is there something that I need to do? Your input would be most helpful, I'm not very knowledgeable on that part.
Thanks, Clark
Ive never seen one go below one or two lines either. I think its normal. If you want it to fill all the way quickly find a big hill or mountain. come back down it in B mode. That will charge it up real full.
Shouldn’t the system use down the fully charged battery several lines and then begin to recharge back up? My car only uses the charged battery slightly,a line or maybe two, then it recharges. If you think this is normal or will adjust the draining and charging over time then I guess I’m ok I just want to maximize the battery life. Thanks again for your feedback!
1:50:48 timing cover bolt description
Around 2:05, you put the engine mount back on... the engine lifted just by tightening the nuts? You didn't need to jack the engine?
I put something under the engine during disassembly set to keep it from falling more than an inch. Your right I dont have to jack the engine because I didnt let it drop much.
thanks
You're welcome!
I have some coil and a MAF codes. Don’t see water in my oil.
I put new coil packs and spark plugs on mine and the plugs look pretty good that I took out. Can you tell anything from the spark plugs as for being related to a head gasket leak? It's my girlfriend's car and she ran it with a water pump issue I told her to have it towed but of course she didn't listen. Just wondering if you can tell anything from the spark plugs? Thx Tim
PS. would like to attach a photo of the plugs I removed but I can't see how to send you a pic of them. They actually look pretty good for 80,000 mi
We have a Sane Auto Facebook page for sharing photos
Hi, I have a question if anyone here has changed their head gasket and has it been a successful fix without any issues
To remove the Valve cover to replace the valve gaskets do you need to removing timing chain cover?
No I did not remove the timing chain cover to replace the valve cover gasket.
Hi, where are you located? I want to drop my prius with you to do the same job on my engine. My head gasket is done for and needs replaced.
When you get in your 70's or 80's you will have worn all finger prints off your finger tips for life? That is your reward for pushing wrenches???
It feels like Ill be permanently in wheelchair before then.
When install the tensioner when collapsed will it automatically open up after instal
Yes it is designed to automatically open when installed correctly.
Can you link the rtv silicone you used? Manual is saying Toyota 103b/threebond 1207b or equivalent but I’m not able to find any.
Hi, did u use m12 12mm socket for bolts?
My socket is an old VW tool Ive had since the 1980's that happens to be the same size as this $7 one from Capri Tool, 12mm Head bolt Socket bit 1/2-Inch Drive -- amzn.to/41zKNZU
Thanks for your great video. I replaced my head gasket. It worked well. No warning lights or stuttering. I have less power and my MPG has gone down to 29. Do you think it is because the machine shop took .0004 of an inch off the surface of the head and rebuilt it?
Camshaft position marks, Its my opinion.
At 1:02:03 how do you remove that plug in-between those hoses
Using the Dr. Prius app. I get a message saying: “resetHead error Broken Pipe” after head gasket install. It isn’t giving me a code#, only what I put. Any ideas?
What are your symptoms? Does the engine start? does the car drive? Is the triangle of doom on? Are you losing coolant?
So Jack at Dr. Prius said the reset head error was from my OBD2 connector. Not an engine error.
When the engine starts,it starts hard. And runs a lil rough.Going to take the front cover off for the 3 time and check timing. Maybe I used the wrong O-rings on the block and head for the VVT oil pressure, as well.@@saneauto
The P0016 error is all that comes up now.
Next day, codes were P0010 and P0011. Checked the VVT Solenoid and it checked fine. Replaced Camshaft Position sensor, and all is well.
Can you explain how to know if we installed the timing chain tensioner correctly? I see you install it compressed and latched however does it just unlatch itself and provide tension once bolted in? Im confused there
Yes it does unlatch itself. I have another engine that I plan to tear down soon I will take a close look and see if I can find a way to put it in wrong.
Is it normal for their to be some slack on the timing chain down by the crank? All my marks match my chain but i have some slack down by the crank on the chain tensioner side. I assume once the timing cover is on and the tensioner is in that this will fix itself? I’d hate to put everything back together and be off a tooth cause the chain jumped
Need to pull the pin out so the compressed spring inside releases tension
where did you get the wizz wheel
Good Job!
Thanks!
Should I do mine before it fails
Hi, do you need a new cylinder head if you have a blown head gasket or miss-firing.
I mean how can you tell if you need a new cylinder head.
By the way, i spot some minor oil residue on all the spark plugs.
My car is prius 2013 (345k miles)
Take it to a quality auto machine shop and ask them to pressure test the head. Also ask them to check the head to see if it is within tolerance of being flat. You might have to have them shave the head.
When you take it to a head shop ask them how much to check for cracks. If you have really good eyesight you can check the head and top of engine block with a straight edge. Its best to have the head shop check to make sure its flat while they are checking for cracks.
WHERE IS YOUR WORKSHOP IN Namibia
Why mechanic says if replace head gasket is gone loose or burn oil I need them add oil he says better put rebuilt engine
Because the rings are likely bad. ua-cam.com/video/shYB90AXcsM/v-deo.html
@@saneauto thx u know in morning engine when start was shaking and mechanic said is head gasket but after while I changed coils and spark plugs the shaking disappeared so if engine has high milage around 272000 u think rings will go bad or depends he has rebuilt engine sells for 2200$ and my engine for now is ok I bought tools and head gasket to be ready to replace but few days ago I tried replace the fuel injectors it kept leaking I worried it will catch fire towed the car to mechanic the fuel injectors are tricky I replaced and kept leaking
Early 3rd gen 1.8L had weak rings from the factory. Thats why if its using oil its probably the rings & needs a rebuild or replaced with later model low mileage engine.
what's the cleaning solution that you let sit for 30 minutes to loosen the carbon on the valves?
Just regular Gasoline. Dangerous for me & you while safe for the parts. No smoking or playing with matches till after a shower and change of clothes. It does splash on ya.
@@saneauto big thanks. I'm gonna try it this week when I work on the head gasket
Thank for sharing, how did you release the chain tensioner?
The tensioner is in the back of the timing cover held by 2 nuts on studs. The tension is released as you remove it.
Ok,when is installed how do the little latched is released, thank in advance.
@@ronaldo77782 While facing the crank shaft pulley, turn crank shaft pulley counter clockwise one turn or till you hear a cloud click. If you have the timing cover off you should be able to poke at the back timing chain and there should be no slop. You should be able to put some pressure on the back timing chain in and out and hear a plunger action this tell you for sure the latch did release.
I will be doing this with hand tools in a Walmart parking lot. Hopefully not until I'm in Grand Rapids Michigan in a couple months and not here in Baton Rouge where I'm at now.
Do you have to reprogram the software after this major update?
nope

In the video you use a wide drain pan, do you have an affiliate link for that or a place to purchase that product. I can't seem to locate anything similar.
I made that one. This is the closest one to the size and shape amzn.to/3ZVUbqF This is another one that is about the same size but I only use it in a 55g barrel when I have the cars on the lift. amzn.to/3XXI2zz Disclaimer: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
