    THANK YOU I LOVE YOU MAN. YOU ARE GODS GIFT. I’ve been following this series for 3 weeks, I’m 17 years old with my first truck, never touched an engine before and I followed your instructions and you taught me so much about engines. After pressure test, BOTH of my heads were cracked and I replaced my heads on my 99 Tacoma. This was such a headache and a learning experience, now I feel like someone can point at a part into a 1st gen Tacoma and I can tell them exactly what it is. Mechanics were trying to charge me 3,800 just for the head gasket and I only spent about 900 for parts, tools, and fluids. Seriously man, taking your time to do this and help people is so great and I can’t thank you enough. My engine runs better than before AND I finally fixed this misfire. You rock man!!!!!!!!

    Just for your information, on my 2005 Toyota Sienna, which has a cam setup just like yours, the marks on the camshaft (the little dots) do, in fact, line up with the timing marks on the crankshaft and cam pulleys. Thank you for making this video. I am currently removing my heads.

    • @WorseThanChiggers
      @WorseThanChiggers  9 років тому

      Bob Simmons Good observation and I can see that to be true on both sides. When the single dots are aligned, they do seem to be in line with the timing of cylinder #1. However when the double dots are aligned on the passenger side, which is where they have to be to remove the cams on that side, they are 180 degrees off from the timing marks.

    • @BEEBEE159
      @BEEBEE159 9 років тому +1

  • @timothypattle238
    @timothypattle238 8 років тому +9

    ive seen the problem with the cams not lining up many times.I work in s/e Asia and try to explain that these loaded gears need to be locked or preloaded when reassembling. if not the vehicle will not sound right and use more fuel then things will just get worse.a good example is the common rail diesel if you own one and it's not as quite as quiet as it should be it's because someone has not locked all the gears up when servicing something. with these Toyota / Lexus v6 it's difficult to hear as they are so quiet.a good sign is if you scan and get codes referring to cam position and or vvt sensor.

    Thanks for the videos they are very helpful! I know it is 5 years old but I do want to point out that you loosen the cylinder head bolts in the wrong order. You loosen them in the tightening order, so you should actually loosen them in the reverse order of which you did.

    Great instructional video!! One question - after you installed the cams to the gears alignment dots, did you rotate the cams back to the original position of being 180 degrees out, or did you leave the cams aligned to their respective dots before installing the valve cover?

    • @WorseThanChiggers
      @WorseThanChiggers  5 років тому +1

      I left the cams aligned with their respective dots during the entire reassembly process until it came time to install the timing belt. Then I turned everything to get the timing right. Since this is a non-interference engine, it doesn't really matter when you turn the cams. Thanks for the kind comments. I really appreciate it.

    • @WorseThanChiggers

      Honestly, I don't remember. Once you get down in there, it should be obvious what you can and cannot do without the studs removed. You may still be able to get them out if you soak them in PB Blaster and put a couple of jam nuts on the end. Just don't over do it and break 'em. That would make for a very bad day.

    • @WorseThanChiggers

      Penetrating oil and an impact gun. In extreme cases, perhaps red-hot heat from an acetylene torch. Heat the nut to release it from the stud. Just don't snap 'em off or your day will get much worse.

      progolfer69 Normally that would be a very good idea. But the truck sat in the garage for a few weeks before I'd gotten to that step and the residual fuel pressure had mostly bled off by then on its own. To do it right, I would have pulled the fuel pump relay and cranked it over a few times after parking it initially. Also remove the gas cap to relieve pressure in the tank.

    Great Video !! enjoyed the entire series. Watching the video and at location 14:10, you found that the cam timing gear dots were about 1 tooth off. The engine I am working on has the same camshaft orientation. Did you maintain this relationship or set them dot to dot ? I'm not sure how I want to assemble mine. thanks

    • @WorseThanChiggers
      @WorseThanChiggers  6 років тому

      Thanks for the kind comments. I really appreciate it. Keep watching the rest of the series and you'll see how I further discuss the issue during reassembly and corrected the cam gear alignment marks. It involves preloading the torsion spring on one of the cam gears before installing the service bolt. Note that the dots are not timing marks but rather alignment marks. They are not used for timing the engine but rather to orient the cams correctly in relation to each other. Timing is done later when installing the timing belt. I, too, questioned whether or not to leave the dots as-is or to correct them. I decided to correct them and am very happy that I did because the engine runs very smoothly now as a result. Good luck with yours and please let us know how it goes!

      Yikes! That can be an exciting experience. Was the timing belt overdue for a change or did it fail prematurely? Do you have this same vehicle? If so, the 5VZ-FE is a non-interference engine and, therefore, should not have sustained any damage to the valves or pistons. Throw on a new timing belt, idler pulleys, tensioner, and water pump, and you should be good to go.

    • @WorseThanChiggers
      @WorseThanChiggers  5 років тому

      Hi Ed, your English is fine. Thanks for asking your questions. I have several thoughts on the subject. First, you should only rotate your engine in the direction that it normally turns, not backwards. On my engine, that would be clockwise as viewed from the front. It may be that you did not remove the spark plugs and you are simply feeling resistance from the compression of the rising pistons in their cylinders. That is normal. Remove the spark plugs or just push through it until that piston reaches the top and it will get easier again. If your engine is the same as mine (5VZ-FE), it is a non-interference engine which means that there is no danger of the pistons touching an open valve. You said that you are using a long breaker bar supported on the chassis. What is the purpose of that and what bolt is it holding?

    • @edardon2699
      @edardon2699 5 років тому

      thanks for your reply...i used the long breaker bar to lose the crankshaft bolt bc it was extremely tide u know, you support the breaking bar on the chassis and then you do like little toches to the key not turning the car until you can remove that bolt,that maybe muve the timing belt like 3 teeths ahead and i didnt notice.again i hope you understand me.tomorrow i will take the spark plugs off and i will let you know if i see any difference.
