Thanks bro for your detailed explanation and teaching. You never disappoint me. Lot of mechanics are find it hard to adjust and align the vvti\vanos gear with camshaft position. They don't know how should camshaft "teeth" that open and close valves face. It is a challenge for many that they find it hard to admit. Modern car are a challenge for lot of mechanic. They cannot Rev up high and adjust idling with a flat screw driver anymore
Thank you, Engineering. You have all the respect and appreciation. A simple and clear explanation that gives you wellness. Thank you very much, Engineering.🥀
you are not mechanic right??how did it work out after your timing chain change?? is it very hard, how long it take you to do the job?? I am not a mechanic but I like to play with engine and I nervous to start timing chain change, in video it doesn't look so hard, will be save 500$ if we can do it...hihihihi
Hi Peter, I have subscribed and given thumbs up! At around 8:03 you say number 1 piston is in the UP position. Do you know it is in the COMPRESSION stroke and not the POWER stroke because both intake and exhaust camshaft lobes are in the UP position so therefore BOTH valves are closed? (meaning COMPRESSION stroke) Thanks.
You are the best! I did the timing chains on my 5.7 tundra, now I’m ready to do the one on my 2010 Corolla 1.8. I check TDC with a rubber glove finger on the spark plug tube, once it blows the rubber finger , I know I’m good. 😅
Thank you Peter I followed your instructions to set the timing on my 1.8L 2Zr-fe engine and my p0015 code has disappeared with check engine light off. Thanks big fan of your channel from Nigeria
It's very clear how u work correctly,, changing timing chain properly,,all the timing is exactly seen,, which is harder to change timing belt or timing sprockets,
Great video. I have a 2010 Corolla S with 223k miles on it. In Neutral, it revs to 1500rpm. I think that's not normal. Would you think the timing is off from chain stretch?
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctorI'm now at 260K miles. Car runs good but I think it might be close to that time to replace the timing chain? I have replaced timing chain on an Audi 2.0T before and it wasn't that bad even though I had to replace it with the engine inside the bay. I think the Corolla's engine bay has more space to work compare the Audi.
Great information in video! I followed exactly but I have camshaft position sensor code. I turned the reluctor wheel on the crankshaft with my hand when I put the new sprockets on the crank. I never lined it back up, or turned it back. Is this why I have a problem with running and idling? My timing is perfect on the chain thanks to this video
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor You didnt answer my question sir! Does the "F' on the Crank reluctor need to be perfect with the crank keyway? I'm getting a cam position code for p0012
Actually after further inspection today, my crank sensor plate was broken away from the washer with the crank key slot. Thus allow it to spin freely on the crankshaft after setup!
Hi peter, I have a question for you. I am working on this same engine. I was turning the crankshaft and the timing chain jumped off. I didn't notice it and had already turned it over several revolutions (3 or 4) before I realized this. Currently, piston 1 cylinder is up and piston 2 cylinder is down. The two cam lobes also point upwards like you say they should be. My yellow link is in the correct section on the crankshaft and 1 of my orange links up top is in the correct spot on the exhaust cam gear. The only problem I noticed is that on the intake cam gear, instead of being on the correct line for the orange link.. it's on the other line. Will this be okay? Or will it have to be on the other line that it used to be on? Everything else is setup properly.. just that distinction in the intake gear. Sorry for the long description!
Yes...you can. It is tight so you may need to remove the Alternator and some other components. I think Peter probably filmed it this way so the viewer can see better how it is setup. While there is no specific life for a timing chain, most Asian Vehicles recommend a new chain every 200,000 Km's/120,000 Miles. But yes, you can do it with the Engine in the Car!
I see you posted a year ago hopefully you got help or realized w/key in run position all check's out until starter engaged You left a signal lead unplugged crank sensor cam sensors and prime engine no oil pressure will stop ignition hopefully your engine's going if not may this be helpful for you or anyone else who has same issues
Great info Peter. Thx. Hey, I have a 2017 Corolla EX.... does it have a "chain" or "rubber belt" timing???? Do I need to change at a certain point??? Has at this time 37,000 miles. Can anyone answer pls.....
These chains pretty much last until they start making noises, once you hear the tensioner rattling, you know it’s probably time to change it before the chain falls of and then a valve hits the piston and then its bye bye engine. (Thats if you take it to the extreme and drive it even further without fixing the noise) But considering Toyotas make pretty well damn cars, if you properly maintain the car with constant oil changes at 3-5k miles since the tensioners work with proper oil pressure, it should last you 250-300k miles depending on how much you strain the engine. I work at a shop where customers bring these bad boys, ive seen a 2011 Corolla with the 1.8 in particular with 190k miles on it, no issues whatsoever.
Hey soo I think my timing chain on my tarago needs replacing but I'm not sure . There's a knocking sound when the engines cold but 9nce I warm it up the sound gos away. And also when I turn the air con on it almost gos away fully. Any ideas
No need to change at certain milage, they usually last as long as you service the engine with proper oil changes, you should see them last to up 250K miles in Toyota cases. When they start going out you either start hearing rattling noises from the tensioner, which holds the chain tight together. The chain almost never breaks off.
Two turns of crankshaft is one full turn of camshaft. One turn of crankshaft is half turn of camshaft. Turn crankshaft again 360 degree and they will be in place. You probably figured it out yourself.
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor I see you had to take the timing chain cover off because you did not get it right once........ So I guess that's what I will be doing........ I appreciate your videos they're good
@@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor Thx for the reply Peter. May I ask what models you use? Why 3 different cameras as opposed to 1, or 2? Smaller size to get into tighter areas? Low light areas, = different camera, other reasons?
