I have watched multiple videos on this engine about timing and you were by far the best at explaining. Thank you for saving me time and a lot more money

[facereader]

Remarkable! Exactly what is important in the shortest time possible. Thank you very much!

[vulturepowerppg]

Thanks it helps when u needed the most.
I was having trouble finding the crank mark on block your video saved me a lot of time.

[Delmar]

Thank you for taking the time to do Great instruction.

[furryrupert]

Thanks for sharing your helpful Toyota knowledge.

[StonedDead]

Sweet, just what I was looking for. Seems pretty simple. Thanks for uploading.

thanks I didn't know that both intake and exaust valves were to be closed I saw that and got discouraged so youtube and you helped me

Hey Brian, I am having an issue timing this engine, the exhaust camshaft will not sit still for me. The exhaust camshaft rolls when I try to line it up with the arrow on the exhaust cam cap. Have you ever had this issue?

[Wes_kyph]

Very informative. So glad I haven't had to do anything with the chain yet... 2009 2.4 Camry 330k miles, still going strong!

[usace]

Thank you so much for this helpful information

[NINO]

Thank you for the video very well explain

[Sci-Mon]

A few questions. When you rotate the shafts so they line up with the arrows, does it matter what direction you rotate them? Also I've seen a few videos when after they install the chain, all is said and done and they rotate the crank like 5 times to make sure the tensioner is released. Is it safe to turn the car on at any position or should you turn the car on only at the arrow marks matching?

[markosedlarik]

I have a (silly) question. When did you make video did you take the engine out of you recorded the bottom of the engine from the position of right front wheel? I ask because most videos show the engine completely dismantled and taken from a car. This video is simple and genius at the same time.

Thanks brother, great video, it was a help 👍

[rickmarchetti]

The way you're setting the timing on this car, is it the same for a 2005 Corolla 1.8? This is the first time I've seen your video as your other comments say you break it down a lot further

I have a V8 jag XJ. The check engine light comes on and the mechanic said when someone did the head gasket they didn’t set up the timing correctly . How long does it take to do this job and is this common issue ? Why would the other mechanic not set it up correctly, I thought it’s a straight forward procedure that is hard to mess up .

[danielrowe]

This engine is stupid easy to service. I'm looking at. 2007 Rav 4 for my wife and this is easier then the Honda Odyssey for access. The Oddesy is like doing a sienna but this is more simple and one of Toyota's reliable engines.

[ricardopena]

thanks Brian how many rounds make the crankshaft to align with the camshaft 2 or how many

[ganeshji]

Great vedio about finding out original markings of timing chain.
Cheers.
but i would like to see a vedio which can show us how to replace timing chains successfully. Step by step instructing vedio will do much more help.
Can you please post one.
Thanks.
