Nice video! Great commentary. You are a hard worker. After a day at work... you go home and pull an engine, clean it, work on it. You are the 2ZZGE king. 💯🔥🥇🏆🐐

Just trying my best at this thing called KZread to help others. If your Celica is a 2000-03 you can do this with the engine in the car its just going to be a tight fit.

Dont remove ac compressor. I tried and bolts broke so i couldn't remove it, and still i was able to do the job. 06 vibe gt. Thanks for the video. I referenced this and the in-car one many times during the job. You show things like seal packing and slides for p.s. pump that other videos dont mention. You don't mention re torque values. But i set my bar to 38 lbs and broke a bolt so i had to remove it all over again... I'm just gonna go ratchet tight to what feels the max tolerance. My 2zz has 310k miles and this was never done... the sludge was so bad it was unreal. Every time i parked for even a few minutes there were multiple drops of oil... This was good too because i had a escalating coolant leak from the thermostat housing from doing a rush job on a thermostat years ago and coolant corrosion building up cause it wasnt sealed. My big takaway from this job, and as a general mechanic reminder is: it's all in the prep.

Exelente video saludos desde chile 🇨🇱 💪💪💪

nice job bro i have to do that with my celica gts

Dude, thanks for this and the many other videos you have done. Watched so many, love the 2ZZ and the skills you have. I'm not sure if I have an issue with this chain cover gasket or the chain tensioner o ring. I have lots of oil all over the belt tensioner cylinder and below on the PS pump. I can't see myself ever doing this job if it's a chain cover gasket issue, far too overwhelming. Do you think stop leak additives would freshen up the gasket? I'd like to keep my C-XRS, love the car, but it's not looking so good lately with the list of issues it has.

Wow. I would've definitely changed the o ring on the tensioner. Sure it can be done in the car....but you gotta jack up the motor, loosen/remove the belt tensioner. But of a pain compared to out of the car.

2zzlow at least in a matrix. Maybe not in a celica? I've not done it...but you can't get the chain tensioner out without getting the belt tensioner out of the way. And you can't get the belt tensioner off without the engine being jacked up a bit as one of the bolts doesn't clear.

does the chain cover have anything to do with engine mount? ive done an engine swap and im having diffilcuties fitting the mount. Golf MK6 GT I actually heard you mention motor mount...so im guessing thats the part im having trouble with fitting in.

@2zzlow

the engine mount is attached to the side of the engine and it needs to come off to remove the timing chain cover.

Can the exhaust manifold be removed while the engine is in the car? Also how do you remove the vvti valve. I remove the bolt but it seems like it is glued into the head.

the problem with that there is no space behind the engine to get a drill and use an easy out. maybe if you get an angle drill? look up easy out.

How much do you charge for this job?

Do you have video of putting the timing chain?

is this the A front timing front gasket right? I noticed the B front gasket is for the water pump

@2zzlow

they call the water pump inner gasket a B timing cover gasket

Mine leaks worse when I drive it less and especially in the winter months. Assuming it's the timing cover. Probably the chain tensioner also. And valve cover. Lol. Have all those parts just ain't done it yet. Well....not the gaskets/seal for the chain cover.

Bro you are awesome 👏! I wish I had a garage and then I can do my own repairs 😎 now live in a condo 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️. So the easy way to replace the timing belt cover gasket is taking the engine out? Or there’s another way 🤔

I dont have a garage bro, literally working in my back yard porch. Damn a condo, yea sucks and some cities dont allow people to work on their cars on the streets. Any 2ZZ 04 and up you need to pull the engine out or drop the exhaust manifold out of the car. 2000-03 2zz you can do it with the engine in the car.

That smog pipe wraps around the timing chain cover and needs to be removed. I have made a recent discovery that you can remove the exhaust manifold from the engine and get it out of the way to get the job done with the engine In the car

@@AmeriFanPicker what do you guys mean by "deleting the pipe"?

The o-ring on the timing chain tensioner eventually leak. I assume they shrink and they are not tight to begin with. It is a design defect in my opinion. It should be standard maintenance.

yes they do, I thought i had the o ring but turns out i didn't which is why i didn't install a new one. they go flat all around and they eventually seep oil through.
