@@justinbrand6585 I am not sure where the piece went. I bought another tool and got the timing belt replaced and all works great. Hopefully the broken piece isn’t inside the flywheel case. Oh well.
about to tackle this on my sister's car, have one question...the crank sprocket has no keyway? the only thing holding it in the correct position is the torque of the crank bolt? Ive done several Japanese cars but Ive never heard of anything like that
My 2012 just hit 175k. Runs like a top. Luckily is a manual as well. But time to do this as a preventative. Probably do clutch and head gasket too. Love that car. Best car I ever owned. 7 years just brakes and oil changes.
Did you have to lower the engine? My crank pulley bolt is right up with the metal frame and not accessible straight on like in your video. I don’t want to drop the engine too far and risk potential damage.
I did a water pump job for this same car but weeks later the car will not start up anymore I believe because I did not use the Cam tool kit that something may have moved and now jumped timing. Is it possible for me to get this cam tool kit And only use the Small pin on the back of the block and rotate it back to timing?
@@trentstewart5144 I have done this job last weekend. You don't need the flywheel tool, but I had a big impact gun. If you don't have a big impact gun you will definitely need the flywheel tool. Just keep checking TDC and if the cams are alligned.
Happened to come across this video after just having the whole exhaust installed off of parts found on Amazon. I have that specific catalytic converter but other parts area mix since not everything was readily available. Everything came to around $1k which is inexpensive for a whole exhaust, clamps, hangers, and sensors. Probably saved about $3,000 at least. I didn’t want to put anything too expensive in it because it’s almost 20 years old. The car is now running like a champ so far. How is yours holding up a year later?
@@justinbrand6585 great to hear. I don't expect any miracles but the cost of parts these days are ridiculous, esepcially if it's from a supplier to a mechanic. The exhaust wasn't any easy job because I don't have a lift and it's New England (also no garage.) Luckilyy I have a mechanic that agreed to putting it in otherwise the car would've been sold for scrap. I just made sure I had everything including new oxygen sensors and all of it was Direct to Fit. I don't think the exhaust on these are not something you can tackle with ramps or jack stands.
I was told that there are actually four cats on the van, is this true? I have read that there are only two. I get different answers from all over the place! I have codes for bank one and two and i cant seem to get them to clean enough to get it smogged!
@@justinbrand6585 thank you! Im getting 430 and 420 on both banks one and two. Would i get a code for the third bank too, or is that one still good and i only have to change bank one and two? And do you know where i can get the cheapest california legal cats that are an exact fit? I have searched the internet for HOURSSSS and all of them are super expensive!! HELP!
I have two of them one I did all the supporting stuff too is fine the other I just slapped a cat on and it keeps throwing cat codes. I'm going to do the tune up and pcv and see if that fixes it.
@@justinbrand6585 what other “supporting stuff” are you talking about? Replacing PCV Valve? O2 sensors? This video is very helpful and the only one about this cat on my van. Thanks Justin!
How about the cat in the back? Are you planning to change that also? My Sienna has a P0420 code which is the rear cat. I don't know how to change that.
I didn't, my front cat hadn't come apart yet if yours needs to be replaced they sell that one also but it might not be available on ebay. Try checking rock auto or another online parts house for it.
The only companies I have seen own them are loggers and guys that have large clearing companies. We had rented this one from a company up north for a large clearing job we were doing.
