I saw this was 5yrs ago, so I hope you are still wrenching! This is one of the best videos I have seen. It is so well done; it is to the point without any extra crap that you need to wade through. You really need to make more of these videos! Well done!
This guy is a BEAST. I'm doing mine in my carport, with access to all my tools, and the convenience of my home, and I'm still struggling. I don't know how this guy just casually pulls this off like this.
I watched this video three times before doing exactly the same thing on my 94 2.2L Camry with 241K on it. Thanks a bunch, Jeff you really are a fine confidence builder !!.
Jeff is real world mechanic. No car lifts, just on side of road. A real inspiration for us back-yard types or what they call here in NZ, us 'bush' mechanics.
Great job! My son’s 97 Camry 2.2 started leaking oil from the front and rear seals. Also noticed the freeze plug behind the water pump housing is leaking. It’s been a great and dependable vehicle with over 270k miles. Probably pull the engine out and re-ring with all brand new seals and keep driving it until the wheels fall off...
Nice Job . I am doing this repair on a 1998 Camry. It is good to see it done in a back yard setting. That makes it seem so simple in my shop. Thank you for taking the time to post the video.
Thanks Jeff for putting up your video. It was a very BIG help to me and actually gave me the confidence to have a go. I had lots of trouble undoing the crankshaft bolt. I tried a few things, including my very good impact gun, but it wouldnt budge. In the end I pulled out the starter motor and locked the starter ring gear. This did the trick, but MAN IT WAS TIGHT. Kind Regards Michael
You did a most excellent job with this presentation Jeff, and I really appreciate it. You are good at this. For those who can afford it -- either the Milwaukee or the Milwaukee high-torque 1/2" drive cordless impact wrenches do a superb job of instantly getting that crankshaft-bolt out. On the Acura that is especially tight, and I found that the Ingersoll Rand 19mm Power Socket (50 bucks) helps with that. Good items to add to your toolkit. Thanks Jeff.
Even tells us which wrench we will be needing for each component. My 97 Camry needs this all done at 207,000 miles. Still has a 190 lbs. compression on all cylinders though.
great video did the job this weekend 97 camry 365K oil pump gasket leak the hardest thing is the dog bone you need help to put it back on help from the top also you must use a little sealant to hold the oil gasket in place, job took hours to do but the Lord Jesus helped me in but while putting everything back i blow a alt 100 fuse now have to replace that but the Lord will help me excellent video you have done well may the Lord bless you for helping me
very detail instruction, i love how these engine don't have distributor so setting the timing is super easy, line up the crank shaft and line up the cam gear.
Great tutorial, a sawed off wood broom hand makes a good sounding device as well ... all I've ever done is American classic's working with my dad in his restoration shop ( old school ) have to replace the timing cover gaket. Wasn't sure if I needed to pull the engine to do it. Mom's 95 Marc. Tracer we pulled the engine ..so while we had it out we put all fresh gaskets and seals.
For anyone thinking about that camshaft seal you can get it out easy if you take off the valve cover, so if you were gonna do valve cover and timing belt (maybe you bought one with a leaky valve cover and you dont know when the belt was replaced for example) at the same time thats a golden opportunity, if not, yeah - you'd want to get both an extractor and a pusher that presses it in evenly.
u do good work beside cleaning the gasket serfaces still not 4sure on timebelt yet hard to see what u did but im gunna hav2 digin lol soon & fix oil pump leak thks.
Great video, I have a 1999 Camry same color as yours. Will be putting mine in the garage next month to have the same thing done. Shelling out $800+ dollars, but it has to get done. 😥
Yes sir. I already purchased a new oil pump and toyota gasket and seal. Im a little apprehensive about getting to some of the bolts and removing the crankshaft bolt. I do have a special socket which hopefully will do the trick. Im trying to save my sister some money with all the work im doing on his car. Have you ever replaced a distributor assembly on the 90's Camry?
The crank shaft bolt can be pretty tight. Big impact gun, or put a socket/breaker bar and bump the starter. with the old 90's Camry, I have seen the condenser in the distributor go bad - stranding the vehicle. Its only a few dollars and easy to replace.
This is great, Seriously, i will be doing this exact thing as soon as the parts come in, except my hands are too big for gloves and it's 20 degrees out. So super fun for me. woo hoo. I have water pumping right out from the cover. funny that everything was fine and the radiator went bad, so I got a new one and then like a week later poof water pump fail. so i will do the oil seal as well while I am down there, it's not leaking but it looks cheap enough and why not. timing belt oil seal water pump + thermostat Jeffs auto out on the street? I have a garage but its full of Larry's Shit. LOL So Larry's Family auto is out on the street. I would have to call it Family auto since the whole family thinks i am a free bee Mechanic. Thanks for this Video, My daughters 1991 Camry looks exactly the same as this job. no joke. same everything under the hood. i was watching some other guys video and fell asleep in my chair and luckily it went o through other vids, when i opened my eyes POOF! This came up. :0) I am saving this for reference. i wonder who that guy that put a thumbs down is? He needs a swift kick eh?
When replacing seals make sure all surfaces are clean as this can cause premature seal wear and leaks if there are any debris. Replace your thermostat since you're already torn the engine apart
Tstat For what? Tstat doesn't matter if the engine is torn down or not...unless the tstat is in a funky spot and then he's tstat looks new and no need to change if recently replaced...but this engine it does not matter torned down or not, tstat is right there😳
After installing the timing belt and removing slack. Im noticing that the crankshaft pulley timing mark is aligned right. But the camshaft mark IS NOT IN ALIGNMENT. ITS CONSISTENLY FORWARD BY 2 inches or so...again this is when the harmonic balancer is at the zero mark. Is this okay? Im referring to the 'camshaft gear'...the camshaft gear hole is past the camshaft vertical notch/camshaft seal area. ie. on every 2nd complete 360 degree turn of the crankshaft gear...the camshaft hole is at 1 o' clock versus the camshaft vertical mark which is 12 0'clock. I want to know can the car still run okay despite this? I can tell that the camshaft marks are off because I made marks with white out before installing the belt. I have not tried to start the engine yet either.
Try accounting for this initially when the belt is loose, then hopefully after the slack is tightened-up, the timing marks line-up perfectly. It is important to get this right, or the car won't run correctly. I have encountered more than one Camry that was put back on the road like that and they are sluggish, apparently the installer did not double check after removing the slack. Good thing you are double checking for perfection.
@@JeffsAuto To be honest the car already has 276,000 miles on it. And doesnt have a check engine light or any codes. I decided to replace the belt because It was very loose (yet fully intact. I know how bizarre right?) I bought a kit and changed the water pump, idler pulley, tensioner pulley (I think this was the main culprit, as the spring felt weird and the tensioner pulley had VERY limited movement. Im gearing the bearings inside the tensioner pulley were worn. I checked the records for the previous owner and the timing belt was last replaced at around 185,608 miles, oil pump seals, camshaft seal and crankshaft seals were replaced then too). Yes its toyotas 5sfe engine, If I can get the car to last me another 40,000 miles Ill be more than satfisfied
@@JeffsAuto Also can I rotate the camshaft gear counter clockwise about 45 degrees before the camshaft gear TDC#1 timing mark....rationale: so it COULD potentially line up correctly after I reinstall the belt and rotate the crankshaft a few times?
Why is there a deep groove around the oil pump shaft? Is that normal or caused by wear? I see the replacement new oil pump shafts don't have this deep grove around them.
Hi Jeff thank you for the informative video. I will be attempting this job on my nephews 1993 Camry that only has 160000 miles on it. His engine is the 5sfe 2.2 4 cylinder Japan made. Will your video work for that car? Thanks
I have replaced timing belts on these older model Camry's too, my recollection is they are very similar. Nonetheless, be sure to google a diagram of the timing mark alignment marks, just to make sure you get that perfect. And, for sure, go the extra measure and replace the oil pump seals.
Great video! I am using this exact video to do my sons 2000 Camry. My sons belt broke, thankfully it a non-interference engine. I will be doing the oil pump seals too. The only thing I do different when doing jobs like this is blast a can or two of brake cleaner on the area, it just makes it easier to monitor for leaks if I screw up or have a defective part and something is leaking. Other than that I will be copying u to the T. Thanks also for showing how to get top dead center, every timing belt I’ve done I’ve always marked with whiteout and put the new belt on exactly how I took it off, I’ve never changed a broken one. BTW any tips for changing a broken one? Thanks!
And yes I’m doing the water pump too. Only a fool would go through this much trouble and not do the water pump especially for the price u can get the kit for online.
Nice video sir my mechanic replaced my timing belt on my Toyota Camry 2001 exactly like yours he replaces the water pump too but he didn't replace the oil pump seal, I payed him $700. After 4 or 5 months I spent another $600 on oil pump bacause it's was leaking. Now I know what to do in this cases :-(
Yeah the thing is most of those components aren't even super expensive even to replace. So you might as well replace everything with quality components. Well worth it if the car has been a reliable beast
Hi Jeff my oil pump has this brass looking o ring where the old round black oil seal sits inside is it possible to remove that so I can put the new seal in.
He used a jack stand. 👍🏼 I gotta say, with so many videos out there with all kinds of professional setups and equipment, it was pretty refreshing seeing someone use a scissor jack & wrench that come with the vehicle, and straight up basic tools!!! 🔧
I'd like to know how long it took him for this job. He seems to be crazy fast for a job that my local mechanic said would take 6.5 hours. I know there's editing involved but this dude is showing a lot in real time.
This jobs take me for ever I cant help my self I want to make every single part shine as fak so I start cleaning them and or sanding them and or wire-brushing it ect
Nice video. How did you get oil pump pulley off of its bracket? On mine, that Nut is extremely tight and I can't open it. Any idea is appreciated. Thanks.
@@JeffsAuto I didn't want to risk damaging pulley teeth. So I put the pump back on and used the old timing belt and wrapped it around the alternator mount on top and secured it with two visegrips. Then used half inch 12mm socket with a breaker bar to break it loose. It took awhile but it worked.
@@rickrick9783Thanks. I tried rag and it was too tight. But having pump installed and wrapped with old timing belt using a ratchet and breaker bar applied lot of force. I learned it in another video.
you could take of the oil pan and see if any of the piston rods are loose. Side-to-side is normal, end-to-end is what you are looking for to identify the rod knock. Sometimes, if you catch it soon enough, all that is needed is to replace the bearing. Once you find it, take of the end cap and see if the crankshaft journal looks okay. If so, its worth a try. Just push the piston up a little and replace the bearing and put it back together. The bearing is soft, so most of that metal is probably just from the bearing.
Is it normal to have play or a shifting side to side once the sprocket is installed with the nut and rotor? That's whats happening on mine I just don't know if its a fitment problem or it's designed to do this.
I have been told that the older Camrys are not interference, which is consistent with my experience. I have repaired more than one carmry with a completely snapped timing belt and the valves were fine. But, sometimes there is carbon build-up, which creates interference. A good soak with carb cleaner down the spark plug hole is how I resolve the carbon problem..
If the front crankshaft seal is not leaking (usually the case), why replace it? Regarding the tensioner, I believe the official procedure is to start with the crank pulley at TDC on No 1 cylinder. Loosen idler bolt 1/2 turn then rotate crank 1 7/8 turns CW and align pulley mark to what would be 45 deg BTDC. Once done tighten idler bolt.
Jeff did everything okay but replaced crankshaft seal since already had bought one .But haven't put harmonic pulley on yet . Reattached crankshaft bolt and tried to turn cllockwise but it isn't isn't turning.It moves the other way CCW though ..
Jeff also Turned starter motor on during service but can't remember why I did.May have been checking for a charged battery.This my first time to change timing belt and water pump and oil pump seal on my 97 Camry.
Rick Rick Good to pack oil pump cavity with petroleum jelly just to be safe.... Sometimes worn oil pumps can have a hard time priming back up with oil.
You've probably done this already but for others, get genuine Toyota parts, there not priced bad either. I got the water pump there too, it came as a whole unit, you don't need to use old half. They also have all the pulleys and new tension spring.
I saw this was 5yrs ago, so I hope you are still wrenching! This is one of the best videos I have seen. It is so well done; it is to the point without any extra crap that you need to wade through. You really need to make more of these videos! Well done!

Thanks Jeff, top video. Really helped with 'the muscle memory'. Warm regards from Australia.
Very helpful, the only thing different I’ll do is to clean surfaces, the 2 turn timing belt to tension the belt was priceless tip !
especially helpful that you show which bolts in the cover are the long and short ones, I didn't track it and that was helpful
I liked the way you put bolts into hole after removing to keep everything organized
Especially important since the bolts for the oil pump are different lengths

Does the camry engine is interference (piston smashes the valves) when timing belt damaged ? ,,thanks.
I have been told that the older Camrys are not interference, which is consistent with my experience. I have repaired more than one carmry with a completely snapped timing belt and the valves were fine. But, sometimes there is carbon build-up, which creates interference. A good soak with carb cleaner down the spark plug hole is how I resolve the carbon problem..
What about the crank seal and what is the 45 degree before tdc before Tightening the tensioner bolt?
If the front crankshaft seal is not leaking (usually the case), why replace it? Regarding the tensioner, I believe the official procedure is to start with the crank pulley at TDC on No 1 cylinder. Loosen idler bolt 1/2 turn then rotate crank 1 7/8 turns CW and align pulley mark to what would be 45 deg BTDC. Once done tighten idler bolt.
Jeff did everything okay but replaced crankshaft seal since already had bought one .But haven't put harmonic pulley on yet . Reattached crankshaft bolt and tried to turn cllockwise but it isn't isn't turning.It moves the other way CCW though ..
Jeff also Turned starter motor on during service but can't remember why I did.May have been checking for a charged battery.This my first time to change timing belt and water pump and oil pump seal on my 97 Camry.
Is there a specific way for reinstallation of the oil pump ?
I just put it back in the reverse order of how I took it out.
Are you located in Ohio? I have a 2000 Toyota Camry and need this work done.
Clean the areaz where the gaskets seat..
Excelent
Does the oil pump install in any specific way or not ?
It only goes on one way. Be sure to replace both seals.
@@JeffsAuto When you put the oil pump back in do you prime the pump by packing grease or petroleum jelly in the rotor cavity ?
Rick Rick
Good to pack oil pump cavity with petroleum jelly just to be safe.... Sometimes worn oil pumps can have a hard time priming back up with oil.

What seal brand do you recommend?
I bought the seal at the Toyota parts counter.
You've probably done this already but for others, get genuine Toyota parts, there not priced bad either. I got the water pump there too, it came as a whole unit, you don't need to use old half. They also have all the pulleys and new tension spring.
I was charged 465 oil pump seal & timing belt good deal or no?
I think it is a good deal.
Jeff's Auto my water pump wasn’t replaced should I be concerned?
Ascend is a popular brand or no

No light in the video. Cant see.
Would have been nice if you hadnt needed to put your ego face to the camera so much as there is less time for viewing actual work.
