The engine stumble or stutter can also be from the CAI. Filter oil almost has to be perfect on these. The location he has it as well, still allows hot air to come into the intake.
So im trying to the head gasket while the engine is still inside the engine bay. I dont have access to air tools or a engine stand or a hoist to take the motor out. How hard is it to get the timing cover off? I am not looking forward to this at all.
Performing this job without pulling the engine out is going to be even harder. It's not designed to be worked on from inside the engine and you'll regret having to try and piece it all apart from there. My recommendation is that if you cannot pull the engine out, you just don't tackle the job. If it was a Honda engine you can get away with it easily. Not this one
@@manuelbou I'm half way done pulling everything apart now, tomorrow is taking off the intake and then attacking the timing. I'm not in any kind of rush and taking plenty of pictures so I know where everything goes. Maybe I should look into a hoist and stand. I've never done a head gasket before so I figured why not give it a go lol. Now I'm starting to wonder if I should pack it all back up and take it to a shop.
@@TJsVette keep going, youll get it done. The only issue is that you won't be able to resurface the block. If you only resurface the head and replace the head gasket you're doing a 50% head gasket repair at best. If the block is also warped, you did all that work for nothing.
So update, I have decided to take the motor out but can it be done without taking the transmission with it? I can get to all the bolts on the transmission to take it off while it's still on the car but if it has to come out with it then I won't take those off till I get it out.
@@TJsVette dealers choice. Id remove the whole thing as one piece but if someone where to replace a clutch then the trans comes off independently so the only problem i can see you having if taking it apart in the bay is clearance issues to wiggle the engine out and away the converter or clutch assy to lift the engine up. You have to give it about 6 to 8 inches of clearance but you should assess that prior
For anyone attempting this in the future, I was able to pull the engine without the transmission. However it was very difficult and I highly recommend pulling WITH the transmission
@@ttorgrim taking it apart inside the engine bay is always the harder way. You could do it the way I did from the top or remove the subframe and raise the body and slide the engine out from underneath.
Just did this swap myself. I disconnected the power steering pump and refilled it after the swap. Also I unplugged the ecu and pulled the engine with harness and intake mani still on. Saves me hours of time

planning to swap out my long block in my 2006 scion tc because i ended up getting rod knock :/ would a long block replacement be the best solution for me as im not the best mechanically inclined but i can get my way through everything. when i do disassemble the scion i will definitely refer to your video for help! awesome detail and made me much more confident in fixing my car.
I would have not minded watching you remove all the ancillary parts like starters compressors etc,I realize it would be longer but I like to see and watch how things need to be finessed in and out, no matter how redundant! but great video , none the less. i have a 2005 getting long in the tooth!!
Currently doing a head gasket replacement on my 2010 Scion TC. It's an automatic but so far this video has covered almost everything for me. One big thing to note, just finished taking off my radiator and it has a built in transmission fluid cooler, so watch out for that tranny fluid coming out if you're working on the same car as me
Yeah, my 2005 Scion TC Special Edition had a VERY same issue. Turns out Toyota has a bulletin stating they know the cause of the excessive oil consumption, and its due to bad rings. They have no idea which engines specifically received the bad rings, so if you see this issue, you are to bring the car in so they can diagnose it and test it. My engine died because it starved cylinders 1 and 2 of oil. Even though I had the extended warranty and was at 96K miles, Toyota did not cover it. I am never getting another Scion or Toyota again because of this. It was very disappointing to see how useless Toyota and my local dealers were. They knew about the issues, but chose to screw me anyway.
usually extended warranty's are from another company, not the oem. at least in my experience from 5 years at ford, and 2 years at honda. the oem wants to do as little to have to be responsible as possible. i had a 2009 scion tc and had the oil consumption problem. i bought it new and 4 to 7 months in i got a oil light (it wasnt my daily) took it to the dealer, they knew about the oil problem, changed my oil and filter and placed multiple marks on the plug, pan, and filter and again oil light , now on 2 times with a new car they were really trying to make sure i wasnt trying to lemon law them, so they threw a shit load of parts at my car and it never had the problem again.
Everybody THINKS they will keep their engine at the perfect oil level but they never had a car with a known oil burning problem on top of another undiagnosed oil burning problem.
Aye, if you're still reading comments, do you know if I'll face any issue placing a 2010 tc engine inside of an 07? Blew a rod and pulled the engine. But I dont know if I'll face issues with the harness and sensors because of the year. Any help would be appreciated!!
Seafoam would have saved it. I lost a engine because of this issue piston rings are frozen I Seafoam my 2nd engine made a big difference its hold oil better than ever Seafoam it

You need to swap the flywheel/ torque converter from the old engine to the new one. I just did the opposite. Had a blown engine in a manual and the donor engine came from an auto.
@@manuelbou can the valve spring cup make clicking noise , and how can u tell if it's not the pistons that's making the light knocking noise from the engine
nice video. I'm in the process of doing the same thing on my 05 scion TC. The intake manifold is my next step. How many bolts holding that in? Your video went quick over that step.
Isn't he putting WAY more money into that car than it is worth? I have a 2007 Scion Tc and its only worth a maximum 2500.00. Mine has a little more miles on it than that one. Its gotta cost a lot of money to rebuild an engine right?
Nice videos on this engine. You mentioned doing the bottom end on this motor? What exactly was required? I have one with the rod knock that’s petty bad. Was thinking of just throwing in some rod bearings for now. Where you able to rebuild low end with engine still in the car? Possible to get a copy of the service manual you were using on the rebuild?
D Co , you can drop the pan and mid case to replace the rod end bearings. However you also have to undo the timing chain so the front cover has to come off as well. I hope that helps
So this means I would have to remove valve cover, serpentine belt, crank pulley, drive belt tensioner, water pump, timing cover, timing chain, oil pan, oil pump, oil filter thread, balancing shaft and then finally the lower casing to access the rod bearings? Anything else I'm missing? Wish there was a video on how to replace the bearings without removing the engine
Carlos G I have felt many hours with playing with these power steering pump bolts. Last time I pulled my motor I just disconnected the two hoses that attach to the pump. Then remove the pump when the engine is out. Much faster and easier. Then you rebleed the ps system once back in. Very much easier.
The water pump housing.... Can It come out ? I have a broken waterpump bolt and can't reach it with right angle drill, can I drop motor without removing motor to get to the bolt?
You must've not watched the teardown because the failure part was obvious. How do you come to a video that shows where the failure is and you just ask where the failure is 😂
Thank you for the informative video! I tried finding a video like this approximately two years ago with no luck. I’ve been using ALLDATA DIY to assist me with the overhaul; however, the lack of instructional detail and two dimensional diagrams only helped me to a point. Your video and informative expertise has been the most beneficial reference than the ALLDATA database that I purchased. Thank you again!
Brittanie that means a lot! I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad I was of help. Makes me want to invest in better equipment (all I use is my phone lol)
importworx I have my motor pulled out and taken apart, thanks to your video. I’m curious, did you disassemble the head? I took mine apart, none of the specialty tools at Autozone or Advanced auto parts are suitable for a DOHC motor. Additionally, I accidentally pulled the torque converter off of the transmission. Is there anything specific that I need to do during installation?
I’m quite impressed with the quality of your work also. Sending the motor to a machinist saves a lot of time. I should have done that, it took me a day or so to clean up the carbon deposits. How much did it cost you?
About the head, the only thing I did besides the resurfacing was replace the valve stem seals. As for the torque converter, just top it off with fluid then slide it back in. Once the engine runs centrifugal force will feed more fluid in to it.
I got a question for you. I dont know if you can help me. But im pretty sure you can. My scion tc had a upper radiator hose burst long story short. After i replaced the hose. The car don't want to start. When i turn the key the starter sounds like it just keeps spinning. I cant figure out what it is for the life of me. I did notice the engine immobilizer light recently start blinking. It never did that before. Dont know if that has anything to do with it. But if you came across this problem or have any idea what it could be would be greatly appreciated. Other then that your a beast at what you do. Extremely detailed and perfectly explained everything. Great video
Delayed shifting on my 2007 Scion TC, 139k miles, no engine light or codes, what's ur diag.? It runs extremely rough in the cold winter at initial cold start and rough idle, shifts hard until engine warms, must let it warm up at least 15 minutes before I go anywhere? Summer is much better?
I have a 2015 manual model and I don’t think it’s prone to the same problems. I, still trying to have the oil consumption test Just in case. Only has 32k and its the XB
How much did you charge for this!? I want to do work to my 2014 Tc and I want to learn how to do all of this. I’ll pay you to have me along your side I live outside of DC
Unfortunately, that is a fair dealer price. It's not economically repairable because it outdoes the price of the car. Your best bet is to find a reputable mechanic willing to rebuild your engine at a lower cost. But many mechanics are shady and I'd advise you to proceed with caution
Quick question. Would a torx bit work for removing the headbolts or do I need the triple square bits. Really don't wanna have to buy a new set of tools that I'll probably end up using only once or twice maximum
When you attached the torque converter and added the bolts, did you have the transmission on or off? Because when I have the transmission on the motor doesn't spin from the crank pulley when the motor is out of the car?
If your crank doesn't spin with the engine out the car you most likely has a damaged rotating assembly. Look at the cylinder spark plug holes for any obstruction preventing the assembly to rotate.
Like most things, disassembly is the easy part. Just about any type of engine out there can be fully taken apart in a few hours. The skills come out when it's time to put it together.
Question when you said the customer had a knock was it a low rhythmic one only at idle after warm up? I'm having this issue but it goes away as the rpm increases, maybe an intake manifold leak?
Also how much should I pay for a rebuild like this without getting ripped off, I'd probably do the teardown myself but I'm just very limited as to what I have to work with
If the knock is faint during idle but goes away when you accelerate, it most likely means the rod bearings are done for but when you accelerate it also increases oil pressure so that helps give it extra lube so you wont hear it then. Basically your issue is in the beginning stages.
Cowboys Cards 81 the car was being worked on a single drive way, once I took the assembly out I needed to roll the car out of the way. Had I dropped the subframe I'd probably render the car stationary for the entire rebuild, not good for my situation.
importworx I have found it very easy to move it but you have to have to Jack's. Any way I can just put subframe back on 6-7 bolts. Wire harness is also way easy to take out from under glove.
It is common practice to align the timing marks before removing so you can see what right looks like before you take it apart. Secondly, there's a small chance that during removal the valves move and make contact with the pistons which is not good. I prefer to rotate the crankshaft to ensure all pistons are at the mid stroke, that way there's no chance for parts to come into contact during removal.
Jermaul West yes! You just have to remove the windshield wiper tray and assembly and then you can wiggle it out up top. I just worked my way around it to keep the engine as complete as possible during removal.
Very much possible. However you're going to find it harder to do that way. Its actually less work removing it as a combo and then separating it outside the car than it is to separate it in the engine bay.
Hi, i have a question? When you replaced the bearings before rebuilding the engine how did you do it. I have an 07 tc with a knock when i give it gas. Can it be done with out taking the engine out.
You have to remove power steering pump, alternator, water pump, oil pan, structural pan that's on top of the oil pan, timing chain and tensioner. It's a good amount if work but I was done in 3, 6 hour days.
How is that so? The head and block needed to be taken apart bare for machine work so if I did tear town during removal or after removal of the engine it wouldn't matter since the entire assembly needed to be taken apart. So what did I take apart that I didn't need to?
Thank you! I not a professional video editor by any means, maybe the furthest from it but I noticed a lack of information about this engine in video format so I made an effort to share my experience.

When you attached the torque converter and added the bolts, did you have the transmission on or off? Because when I have the transmission on the motor doesn't spin from the crank pulley when the motor is out of the car?
If your crank doesn't spin with the engine out the car you most likely has a damaged rotating assembly. Look at the cylinder spark plug holes for any obstruction preventing the assembly to rotate.
Will a 03 Camry engine fit in a 06 tc?
How am I supposed to know lol?
Also, this video helped me a ton. Thank you
Hi importworx, Great video man! I wanted to ask if I could replace my piston rings to my 2007 scion tc without removing the engine entirely? Thanks
I wish you would have don't this video for a clutch. Good video.
Bro I see you are in Virginia can you help me with my car ?
Where in VA are you?
Importworx Can you dm me on instagram? @officialbigflacko
Annnd he's an evo lover. Awesome!
Yes indeed!
what is the removal order of crank caps
Starting from the outside, work your way to the center.
Brilliant
I have a question where is filter OCV VVTi timing in scion tc ? I cant find
curious, how much actual time to take it down to the bare block? days??if you were not filming?
Like most things, disassembly is the easy part. Just about any type of engine out there can be fully taken apart in a few hours. The skills come out when it's time to put it together.
@34:15 correction there are 3 bolts and 2 pins
What fluid goes back into manual transmission
Exactly what I needed keep doin what your doin man
Beside a 10mm what other sockets do I need?
Question when you said the customer had a knock was it a low rhythmic one only at idle after warm up? I'm having this issue but it goes away as the rpm increases, maybe an intake manifold leak?
Also how much should I pay for a rebuild like this without getting ripped off, I'd probably do the teardown myself but I'm just very limited as to what I have to work with
If the knock is faint during idle but goes away when you accelerate, it most likely means the rod bearings are done for but when you accelerate it also increases oil pressure so that helps give it extra lube so you wont hear it then. Basically your issue is in the beginning stages.
@@Dabber234 a pair price for a rebuild is around 5k dollars.
Awesome video brotha keep wrenching 💪
What size socket or hex bolt did you use to remove the head bolts?
Why didn't you drop the engine out the bottom with the cradle
Cowboys Cards 81 I believe that would've render me more work.
importworx why do you say that
I did it my self this afternoon in a couple hours
Cowboys Cards 81 the car was being worked on a single drive way, once I took the assembly out I needed to roll the car out of the way. Had I dropped the subframe I'd probably render the car stationary for the entire rebuild, not good for my situation.
importworx I have found it very easy to move it but you have to have to Jack's. Any way I can just put subframe back on 6-7 bolts. Wire harness is also way easy to take out from under glove.
Does the engine need to be in a timed alignment before removal ?
It is common practice to align the timing marks before removing so you can see what right looks like before you take it apart. Secondly, there's a small chance that during removal the valves move and make contact with the pistons which is not good. I prefer to rotate the crankshaft to ensure all pistons are at the mid stroke, that way there's no chance for parts to come into contact during removal.
Damn. Move on
Likewise
is it possible to remove the intake manifold while the motor is still in place?
Jermaul West yes! You just have to remove the windshield wiper tray and assembly and then you can wiggle it out up top. I just worked my way around it to keep the engine as complete as possible during removal.
Wonder if is possible to remove the engine with out the transmission
Very much possible. However you're going to find it harder to do that way. Its actually less work removing it as a combo and then separating it outside the car than it is to separate it in the engine bay.
Hi, i have a question?
When you replaced the bearings before rebuilding the engine how did you do it. I have an 07 tc with a knock when i give it gas. Can it be done with out taking the engine out.
You have to remove power steering pump, alternator, water pump, oil pan, structural pan that's on top of the oil pan, timing chain and tensioner. It's a good amount if work but I was done in 3, 6 hour days.
@@manuelbou ok thanks, also do i need to remove anything else from the bottom like the exhaust pipe that goes down from the manifold
@@johnnymejia7 yes naturally, anything else in the way of you taking the pan out
Where is filter vvti in scion ?????
Very helpful thanks
Thanks for the video
Great video
Awesome video! Quick question though... is there a way to remove the intake manifold without tilting the engine?
Yes. You would have to remove the windshield wiper cover assembly for clearance
@@manuelbou thanks!
You took alot of stuff off you didn't have too, js bro
How is that so? The head and block needed to be taken apart bare for machine work so if I did tear town during removal or after removal of the engine it wouldn't matter since the entire assembly needed to be taken apart. So what did I take apart that I didn't need to?
28:24 u need a special fuel line tool
Great video bro, am going to replace a motor this weekend and your video has great detail and info. Best video for TC motor removal.
Thank you! I not a professional video editor by any means, maybe the furthest from it but I noticed a lack of information about this engine in video format so I made an effort to share my experience.
importworx finished the motor swap and it came out great. With your video the swap was easy thanks again keep up the great work.
Youre very welcome and thank you for that feedback!
