Yes, with due credits AND I ask that you simply come back here and post a link to your compilation video in another comment. Others have promised to do the same and then failed to follow through. I think that I may have to start sending copyright strikes if that simple request isn't satisfied. Appreciate you asking!
First of all awesome series....just started working on replacing the 2 heads in mine and had a quick question. You mentioned you had to do a valve adjustment at the end of Part 6. Could you clarify that please. You mention another video but I didn't see it here, not sure if you had that. Thanks really appreciate all your mechanic and video work on this series.
Thanks for the kind comments. I really appreciate it. Congrats on taking on this project. Let me know how it goes and how your experience compares to mine. The link to that valve adjustment video is in the description of my part 6 video. There may be newer ones out there by now that you could look for. Here it is again: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-08ia1PIgFz8.html
@@WorseThanChiggers Thanks for the vote of confidence and honestly would not have done it without your video. So I will be taking out the heads tomorrow. I know I have exhaust bleeding over to my cooling system on Cylinder 6, but since I have 260K miles I am just going to do both sides. Also will probably get 2 new/remanufactured ones since I really don't have a good machine shop I can trust where I am. I have owned this '96 Tacoma for 26 years now (easy to remember because that's the year I got married: 1998) so it's my baby and I try to do everything I can on it myself. Will definitely keep you posted on progress!!
Sence you pulled the whole thing out, perhaps a cote of whatever on the whole thing would have been smart. Just saying. Good jod thx for the video,peace
My ball joint is on their so tight the bolt on this tool and the threads of the lower ball joint started bending 😢, had to give up after a few hours if alternating between this tool, smacking the thing with a sledge, and prying with a crow bar. Hooefully ill have better luck tomorrow
I have a Toyota Venza 2013. I tried this but my gas door still doesn't open. Is there a way to open it from the inside of my vehicle? I saw another video showing all Toyotas have another way to pull a plastic cord from the inside in the rear, but my car doesn't have that.
You'll first have to research whether your gas door latch is actuated by a cable or electrically. Do you have a mechanical lever or an electrical button for that purpose in the cabin?
@@WorseThanChiggersIt turned out it was a broken cable, unfortunately not the spring. A mechanic managed to pry it open with a special tool. Didn't even charge me. I barely made it to the garage on empty. Rigged it up to stay open because I don't want to spend the money to fix the cable.
Back again to say thank you this video saved me . After you do it it’s a lot easier than it looks.. thanks again. For anyone who has a Cabrio .. I ended up have 4 bolts to take off on the radiator bracket . Great video
I shut my car off . The fan never stopped spinning even after an hr of it cooling down . Was fine the last few times I seen it turn on and off. You think this is the Coolant sensor on the radiator failing ? I took my plug out and liquid came out
No doubt if the fan never stopped running. You need to check why power is continuing to be fed to the fan. Start by testing the coolant temperature sensor.
I recommend researching how to test components and perform other simple diagnostic procedures. Otherwise, you can end up replacing parts unnecessarily without confirming the root cause of a problem. You could have a bad fan relay or something else going on which would be important to confirm first. Think about it logically. If the fan is running continuously, it is receiving power. Work your way back through that system to see where the power is coming from. If it goes through a relay, test and confirm that the relay is good. If so, test what is commanding the relay to close.
@@WorseThanChiggers also what I’m struggling with is my car is a 95 cabrio . You said the two 13 bolts in the front reflector . But I’m not sure if it’s the same for me . I see 8 bolts down here . ( bumper is off )
I just wanted to comment and express my sincere gratitude and thanks for you putting this video series together. My wife and I just finished her head gasket fix on her 99 4Runner and we couldn’t have done it without this. This series not only gave us the step by step process but the confidence to even attempt it ourselves. Out of all the videos on swapping head gaskets out there this is by far the best. An fyi for anyone out there looking to do this: there are slight differences between the engines and model years. Ours is a 99 and we noticed several places where our particular engine didn’t match up with the one in the video. It threw us off at first but quickly realized his was a 95 and ours is 4 years newer.
It was still running great at 255,000 miles when, sadly, I had to sell it due to the dreaded frame rust problem that plagued early Tacomas. It failed to pass our state's annual safely inspection. RIP, trusty old friend.
Thanks for the kind comments. I really appreciate it! Please come back here next week and let us know how your experience compared to mine. I'm always interested in how things differ, both challenges and successes.
So far the right side is ready for the bearing that will be here wednesday. Although I used a slide hammer to get the hub out instead of your method of using a socket to beat it out. I want to do the passenger bearing also but need to find the tool you used for removing the ball joint.
I don't know if they changed it in your 2003 model as compared to my 1995. Is yours also a manual transmission? The automatics are definitely different.
The strangest thing about this ends up being that despite the heavy snowfall, the snowfall itself ends up being basically invisible. Gorgeous video though thank you for sharing!!
Going to do this with my son on his 02 Tacoma with 260k. Hope it goes half as smooth as yours. Great Video will probably be our bible/reference during the job.
@@WorseThanChiggers WTC we got it done it started and runs smooth however we got a P0340 code may have to go back in and change cam shaft position sensor. Great videos we would have been lost without them.
I just replaced my entire suspension on my civic and THIS TOOL saved me! I did everything I could, even ALL the hammer tricks. Thank you for the upload!
Could the coolant have been laking from the exhaust manifold gasket? It has coolant chambers and fuel injection chambers, and maybe it mixed together there.
Hello Worse Than Chiggers! Can I use your video in my video plus comments to help people learn lessons so they can drive safer? I'll put your name on the screen, thank you for reading.
Yes you may as long as you provide those required credits. The other request is that you come back here and post a link to your video in these comments. Thanks and have a great day
Ive got 4 O rings in the kit. One blue one which i can see where yours went but the other ones 2 are thicker and 1 thinner but appear the same diameter. Which goes where? Im trying to figure out which goes on the high pressure line. The thinner or thicker O ring
Harbor Freight has a press for sale too. Also, You're making your life too hard trying to get that bearing race off. Simply flip it over and take a torch to it, heating it up in just one spot and watch it fall down. When it does this, lift up the hub and let it fall the rest of the way off. Easy breezy.
