Great video, helped a ton! Just a tip for anyone doing it, toyota manual states for 2007 and similar year VVTI to keep passenger side cam at TDC as mentioned in video, driver side is not it is kept when two dots on each gear is matching not the single dots (it has both) also keep the crankshaft 50degress BTDC not at TDC. After repair line the cams and crankshaft back to tdc and install timing belt. Hope that helps someone.
@@TheMark0023 BTDC is Before Top Dead Centre , TDC is Top Dead Centre. I recommend getting Toyotas manual online it is only $20 or so for a couple hours of access you download and print off what you need and you'll have a step by step guide.
The 2 dots on the camshafts line up at 10 degrees above horizontal at time of removal. This position will be accomplished by resting the engine mechanically as per the Toyota Shop Manual prior to removal of the timing belt. The reason for this alignment is to allow the spring tension on the Cams to be at rest while removing the timing belt and if you're removing the Camshafts. If you do not align as required, when you remove the timing belt the camshafts will be under Spring tension and will rotate a certain amount and will startle you as you remove the timing belt. Thanks for your video.
Guess I might have gotten lucky because I didn't watch this video when I was disassembling and I didn't remove the front end of the cam. I was able to maneuver that gear and the seal down the shaft and then come back on in reverse. Saved me a few minutes I suppose.
Very good video....i noticed you didn't "lock" the exhaust cam gear, i guess the exhaust gear is two gears in one. there's a bolt hole that you thread a screw into? Another video a guy stressed how important it was to not let the teeth get misaligned.
Hey thanks for this video! I followed your instruction and I was able to replace the cam seal on passenger side. For driver’s side, toyota manual says, I have to align the double dots. I put all three to TDC before removing the timing belt. Driver side cam’s service bolt hole is not up and at TDC, the single dots are aligned. I am can’t remove the camshaft without inserting the service bolt. How did you do the driver’s side? My truck is all opened up, any help would be appreciated.
I'm guessing that since your comment is 9 months old you got it figured out? There was another video from a gentle man (very poor English) that did a great video on correct alignment and locking the exhaust cam gears. I guess the exhaust gears are 2 separate gears that have too align correctly using a service bolt. Out of curiosity when you took apart the intake gear to remove seals did it go together as simply as described?
You failed to lock the "Scissor Gear" on the exhaust cam. Its a two part gear with the outer gear under tension with a clockspring. Your 4.7 will run fine but will REALLY sound like a diesel engine now. I did the same thing on mine. Now I get to take it all apart again. lol
I can't believe he pulled out the intake cam out without putting the service bolt in the exhaust cam gear . it's a 6 mm by 1.00 by 5/8 long .you know if you don't do that it's going to spin on you and ruin your day lol.he must have gotten luck....
@@carsandbeatzofficial7545 then you got good luck bud.... The exhaust side is a split gear it has threads in it you should put the service bolt in it it stops it from spinning and coming apart.
FYI , it's common on a lot of toyota engine's even some v 6 engine's from the early 2000s just offering some knowledge pass it on. Have a great day and a better tomorrow
For the people complaining about the music.... Relax people this was one of my first videos ever made so I was experimenting. If the music bothers you that bad ,please move on. I was simply trying to help people. I will not edit the video and take the music off that wouldn't be me. We all learn from mistakes and we move on. Peace ✌
First of all you must get a bolt 6 mm by 1.00 pitch 5/8 long. It is a service bolt that goes in the exhaust cam gear if you don't it's a bitch to fix.like hours of work trying to get it rite.so use the service bolt you can get from the hardware store.good luck please don't follow what this guy did or you will have a bad day....
You can simply move on and not watch the video. Simple as that. I will never go back and change the music because someone didn't like the music. This was one of my first videos ever and was experimenting.
