2010-2015 Prius / Ct200h head gasket replacement without useless chit chat 

You have showed everything in details parts by parts, very informative.

you guys are so awesome! while I don't feel lucky that my head gasket went out, I do feel lucky that there are such pros out there with so much experience for my specific car. Thanks so much for the info guys, wish me luck!

Thank you guys so much. My wife has a CT200h and I feel confident in doing this now. You guys make extremely well detailed videos

I want to THANK YOU! There is no way I could afford to pay to have this done. Your instructions gave me the confidence to even attempt this! This was definitely way more accessible than I thought it would be. I did have a couple of troubling codes (P3191 and P0118) but I didn't panic, because I was confident in your instructions. After I tightened the EGR manifold and released the lock on the air intake (hose clamp), the P3191 went away, and the car stayed running. And simply plugging in the temp sensor cable took care of the P0118 code. Time will tell if I sealed everything properly, but Thank you again for taking your time to help!

Wow can't believe I found you guys on RU-vid. You guys are famous in the ct200h and Prius gen 3 world!

came here for the title. I don't need to replace my head gasket right now. was looking for another repair, but I appreciate that you don't make the video longer than necessary

Don’t be Me! Follow this full video! I have spent a total of 3 months doing this job purely because I didn’t watch beginning to end! I have learned More then enough and have pulled it apart 4 times😂 I’m 19 and Finally Just replaced a Full head Now Because I destroyed the last one by not timing the Crank ( Every Valve on Exhaust side was beyond bent) it’s running better then ever and I’m more confident in working on these cars then I ever imagined

Thank you so much Walt. You helped me with my 08 Prius and I recommended you to all my friends in Santa Rosa including Angel Motors... how serendipitous, we may need you again for my 2015 Prius V. I think people would really appreciate a complete list in the description of parts they will want to order before getting started (camshaft gaskets, o rings, bolts, silicone, etc) as well as the non standard tools (E-Socket set, triple square set, etc.) Otherwise id say this video is perfect. Just the thing to reaffirm one's faith in the goodness of others to the community. 😲😲

Thanks for this, very thorough video. One thing: Around 33:00 there’s a continuity error: timing chain cover install repeats.

Nice job. Straight and to the point......

18:16. you said "to get the proper torque, grease the thread". i agree 100%. there are so many arguments, whether or not to apply grease to threads. especially the lugnuts... i put grease eveywhere.

Look forward to having y'all fix my 2012 Lexus in December. Looks like a lot of work.

Thanks for the demonstration.

Fantastic vid. Thanks so much!

That tool to remove the headbolts is called a tripple square for anyone wondering

Great tutorial. Thanks for the amazing detail for this job. I am in N.C. so a little far away but will most likely take this job on soon as a DIY. Coming to N.C. ?

Awesome!

26:41. i removed the two bolts, looked inside and realized i have no business there. i bolted it together, and seems there was no harm done.

Do you use felpro gaskets and do you replace head bolts and timing chain?

Do you have any shops that you recommend in Florida?

You haven't shown a 2nd generation Prius yet and I see so many still on the road. I wonder how rarely you get one and you could do a video of the head gasket change it would be interesting to compare.

hello. what is labor time for in car? my pro demand only shows time for engine removal labor hours

Reading through comments now I’m wondering if my 2014 Prius 2 got messed cause I kept driving it after getting my engine replaced and finding out my ac doesn’t blow cold. Maybe there was a leak all along that developed into another head gasket leak.

What are the torque specs for the timing cover if any?

crank seal done?

Is that rattle/quick vibration/movement with the engine normal when starting the car at 37:48?

Do you still have a Dallas, TX location or affiliate? I tried contacting your company several times via phone, email and website and never hard back from anyone about potentially replacing the HG on my CT200.

We are stuck at the timing chain. The harmonic balancer is not in the 12:00 position. Please help we need the car by Monday 😢.

Do you recomend a new timing chain? and if you do, do you also change the guides and sprokets?

I just finished started it up.making rattling noise.and running rough.timing was dead on.notnsure what happen.

I have a question does machining the head affect the timing? And how am I supposed to know how much is too much because I heard that toyota heads are one time use because its an interference engine. Great video🎉🎉🎉

If the engine block is slightly wrapped, is it possible to resurface it in-engine? If not, if it still worth the repair?

Question. Why not get oem head gasket? Seems like if we are that far into repairs, to go off brand seems riskier

Do u have anyone in Minnesota to replace a head gasket for toyota prius? I need help

How much do you charge for this job? I am in Texas. I am a teacher.. any educator discounts? 2011 prius - 110k miles

Everything has been going perfect till the EGR stud. I broke the tip off. On the one on top. What the best or recommended way to get that stud out now? 😢

Use a fel pro gasket set, also replace all the seals inside the front timing cover & the penis shaped seal on the head, Resurface the cylinder head before reinstall

Is the crankshaft bolt a 19mm? May order a heavy 19mm impact socket if so...

Is this for the 1.8L hybrid or 1.5L

HELP PLEASE. 2012 prius, 150,000 miles. random sporadic unpredictable overheating since june, finally Toyota determined it is a HG. got a set from rockauto, viktor reinz. The original HG appeared OK, nothing massive. Talked to a specialist, who convinced me that the leak is minor, and invisible, but enough to send exhaust gases into the coolant sometimes. Test for exhaust gases in coolant was negative. Also, coolant was clear pink, no sediment, no mud, no discoloration. Anyway, I just finished the job, and the overheating is now full time. test driving with autel mk808bt watching temperature and pump revolution. temperature was 80+ and then went all the way to 101. I stopped several times to let temperature go down to 90 to come back home. Even at 101 the radiator fans were OFF. They are supposed to turn on at 92 or 95. If I turn the AC on, then they begin to spin, meaning they are not busted, and the relays are OK. I was very careful to reconnect all electrical wires. Did I miss any? I made detailed description in my car logbook of every simple step I took. I worked slowly and meticulously. Today took apart and flushed the radiators with garden hose . Coolant and water came out clean. No sediments, no deposits. Should I prepare a publication for the SAE International Journal of Engines? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

After resurfacing the head, how do you compensate for the loss of height? Is it advisable to resurface just enough to accommodate 2 original Toyota head gasket, stacked one on top of the other?

Hi, Why don’t you use the Toyota gasket?

Datza pizza chit,mang

what bolts do you use? is Elring good company? it is german and supplies stuttgart. the gasket: I got disillusioned by fell-pro a few years ago. I like victror reinz and beck-arney. there arel very cheap packages, all gaskets and bolts for about 60-70 dollars. i am quite suspicious on these deals. so, i have to buy a chain kit, gasket kit and bolts kit, total around 300 dollars, which beats the dealers price 3600-6800 dollars. You did not show changing the lower timing chain. it is included in the kit. i guess, it is not so important. it drives much lesser load, and is low end of the engine, so it is not exposed to much heat.

So the head bolts are, 36 ft lbs, +90°,+45°?
