Great video, helped a ton! Just a tip for anyone doing it, toyota manual states for 2007 and similar year VVTI to keep passenger side cam at TDC as mentioned in video, driver side is not it is kept when two dots on each gear is matching not the single dots (it has both) also keep the crankshaft 50degress BTDC not at TDC. After repair line the cams and crankshaft back to tdc and install timing belt. Hope that helps someone.
@@TheMark0023 BTDC is Before Top Dead Centre , TDC is Top Dead Centre. I recommend getting Toyotas manual online it is only $20 or so for a couple hours of access you download and print off what you need and you'll have a step by step guide.
The 2 dots on the camshafts line up at 10 degrees above horizontal at time of removal. This position will be accomplished by resting the engine mechanically as per the Toyota Shop Manual prior to removal of the timing belt. The reason for this alignment is to allow the spring tension on the Cams to be at rest while removing the timing belt and if you're removing the Camshafts. If you do not align as required, when you remove the timing belt the camshafts will be under Spring tension and will rotate a certain amount and will startle you as you remove the timing belt. Thanks for your video.
Guess I might have gotten lucky because I didn't watch this video when I was disassembling and I didn't remove the front end of the cam. I was able to maneuver that gear and the seal down the shaft and then come back on in reverse. Saved me a few minutes I suppose.
Hey thanks for this video! I followed your instruction and I was able to replace the cam seal on passenger side. For driver’s side, toyota manual says, I have to align the double dots. I put all three to TDC before removing the timing belt. Driver side cam’s service bolt hole is not up and at TDC, the single dots are aligned. I am can’t remove the camshaft without inserting the service bolt. How did you do the driver’s side? My truck is all opened up, any help would be appreciated.
I'm guessing that since your comment is 9 months old you got it figured out? There was another video from a gentle man (very poor English) that did a great video on correct alignment and locking the exhaust cam gears. I guess the exhaust gears are 2 separate gears that have too align correctly using a service bolt. Out of curiosity when you took apart the intake gear to remove seals did it go together as simply as described?
Very good video....i noticed you didn't "lock" the exhaust cam gear, i guess the exhaust gear is two gears in one. there's a bolt hole that you thread a screw into? Another video a guy stressed how important it was to not let the teeth get misaligned.
You failed to lock the "Scissor Gear" on the exhaust cam. Its a two part gear with the outer gear under tension with a clockspring. Your 4.7 will run fine but will REALLY sound like a diesel engine now. I did the same thing on mine. Now I get to take it all apart again. lol
I can't believe he pulled out the intake cam out without putting the service bolt in the exhaust cam gear . it's a 6 mm by 1.00 by 5/8 long .you know if you don't do that it's going to spin on you and ruin your day lol.he must have gotten luck....
@@carsandbeatzofficial7545 then you got good luck bud.... The exhaust side is a split gear it has threads in it you should put the service bolt in it it stops it from spinning and coming apart.
FYI , it's common on a lot of toyota engine's even some v 6 engine's from the early 2000s just offering some knowledge pass it on. Have a great day and a better tomorrow
First of all you must get a bolt 6 mm by 1.00 pitch 5/8 long. It is a service bolt that goes in the exhaust cam gear if you don't it's a bitch to fix.like hours of work trying to get it rite.so use the service bolt you can get from the hardware store.good luck please don't follow what this guy did or you will have a bad day....
You can simply move on and not watch the video. Simple as that. I will never go back and change the music because someone didn't like the music. This was one of my first videos ever and was experimenting.
For the people complaining about the music.... Relax people this was one of my first videos ever made so I was experimenting. If the music bothers you that bad ,please move on. I was simply trying to help people. I will not edit the video and take the music off that wouldn't be me. We all learn from mistakes and we move on. Peace ✌
Good video but that music is hideous and makes it hard to hear what you are saying. Reupload without?
Yes. Fucking terrible. Absolutely fucking terrible.
Unfortunately the music is too loud and disturbing. It would have been a better video without the music in the background
Best video concerning this seal replacement... so hard

Also, installing a service bolt to hold the exhaust gears in place i would highly recommend, takes a second compared to if it springs on you.
What is BTDC and TDC, doing a diy on my can shafts cause it’s leaking badly.

Music kills entire video
Great video but that music has got to go! I can’t concentrate on what you’re saying because the music is so loud and annoying!

Do you have any information on the cam bearing cap
So, before you remove the cams, if the 2 single dots are lined up? That means your TDC?
What about the cranky noise afterwards, how can you make it go away
Good video but the music makes it horrible! You don't need any music!
What kind of silicone do I use
Do you know where the camshaft position sensor is located? Code p0016

might crack the head is what toyota states. there is a spring in there to take up thrust endplay.
Hey, i didn't install a service bolt on the driver side. Now i have a noise on driver side . How do i correct?
Did you figure out how to correct it?
En que parte de USA trabajas
So can you put mine on dealer wants way to much
For someone like myself trying to learn from this video the music is very distracting and it makes it hard to hear what you are saying.
great video but music very annoying.......and thank you for your time with making this great video
bad ass. recommend getting a stand lol

Oof that sucks man, Atleast its much easier to do the second time around,
Did you ever get back in to fix this issue? Did you have to remove both cams and realign?
Thanks - you convinced me not to try this while doing my timing belt
😂 I was thinking the opposite. Thought it was a good idea to do it all at once. Since everything would be apart.
Man this really sucks. Why did Toyota make it so difficult to replace that damn cam seal? My passenger side is leaking.
Service bolt on the exhaust cam FIRST!
Exhaust camshaft has a scissor gear it must be pre-loaded before assembling back into the head
I can't believe he pulled out the intake cam out without putting the service bolt in the exhaust cam gear . it's a 6 mm by 1.00 by 5/8 long .you know if you don't do that it's going to spin on you and ruin your day lol.he must have gotten luck....
@@jasonbamford7579 I've done it this way lots and lots of time and never pre load anything without issues.

I just did one today. What a dumb ass design.
Music? For what
Dear sar one side. Cam mark other side don't have video right side where cam mark

That darn music man spoiled it
WHY DO YINZ PLAY MUSIC WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO LISTEN?
Music ruined the video
Hard to hear over the music playing over the video.
Lose the music it’s distracting, can’t focus on what I’m really watching the video for in the first place
a video like this has no reason to have music really ruined it and makes this almost useless.
You can simply move on and not watch the video. Simple as that. I will never go back and change the music because someone didn't like the music. This was one of my first videos ever and was experimenting.

Hearing that awful music, I kept thinking, "when's the porn gonna start?"...
Bro this music is distracting as fuck.
bro the music is too much, cant even hear you
Why the music man ? Take it off pls
Turn the stupid music off..so I can concentrate
Every one already said it :the music sucks.
