You may have missed one of the bell housing bolts. If not, find a gap where you can pry the bellhousing from the block. But make sure you have unfastened every bell housing bolt first. There is nothing else to hold the transmission to the block except possibly corrosion in the registration dowels.

In that case, just rebuild the one you have in the car already - why pay for a core when you have one, right there, free. Am I missing something? Thanks for your comment.

Thank you for watching and for commenting.

Test the relay. Put voltage across the teo trigger terminals and listen for click.

I'm very surprised that you were able to get a toyota master mechanic to do something sensible. They are trained to be opposed to anything that makes sense.

IIt should stand to reason that if you swap the cover from the estima engine to the camry engine then the engine with the estima cover it will fit in the Estima chassis.

Awesome! Thanks. I'm finding it hard to get a engine out of estima to replace mind.

No crank could be a number of things. Wiring/loose wires (battery and starter), ground (battery and transmission), connecting wire from starter solenoid to starter relay, starter relay, ignition switch, connection from ignition switch to starter relay, clutch switch. So yes it could be the starter relay, or any of the above.

Yes it is exactly the same.

to be honest I have no idea what you are asking or what you are trying to do.

Thank you for watching and for commenting.

Also I don't believe you mention this in the vid (sorry if I'm wrong) but the toque specs for the banjo bolts is 48 ft-lbs

Head gasket yes you want to drop the engine - too difficult to deal with the rear bank in-car. Getting the exhaust off is not a big problem, buit just imagine trying to set the head back on there at a 45 degree inclination, not to mention loosening and tightening the head bolts plus the cam caps plus everything else. Timing belt is usually done in-car, I do out-of-car videos for the timing belt so people can see everything.

Only way it would be backward is if someone had opened the transmission previously and flipped it. But.... this looked like an unopened transmission in original condition so.... don't think so.

No there was no problem and there should not be any problem. Check that you've routed your hoses correctly. Pull your thermostat and test it in hot water.

Not sure. Maybe I left it out. Check out some of the other videos in the 1mz-fe series, like the head gasket or camshaft videos for example, I am positive they have the link because people request it all the time.

I would say yes, but I don't know for sure, because I do not have any 3zz engines in my geographic locale.

It was from a 2007 Camry. I still have it if you're interested in it, and the mounting hardware. It worked fine.

You're asking about the Lower Intake. It has bolts and two studs all around its periphery. They are all 12mm hex. Just unfasten the bolts and the two nuts. You also have to remove the water inlet on the timing belt side.

Probably I covered this in one of the knock sensor videos, because this lower intake has to come off when you service the knock sensors. Also, I may have covered it in the thermostat housing video, because, again, the intake has to come off to service the thermostat housing.

@@Merryfrankster_ Thanks again my friend. With your help I'll get this Avalon running again. Cheers.

this was a 2013.

No.

I have a 2012 rav4 v6 and it’s faster than my brothers Camry with same engine. We raced back and forth and the rav4 was quicker due to its exhaust and 4wd. Even on a roll, it’s quicker too. Toyota set up the exhaust way better for performance than the Camry.

sounds like you have an electrical short either in the motor or the switch/button under the dash - or it could be the receiver. Try replace the switch, or maybe just unplug it, see if the problem goes away.

let us know how it goes.

Are you sure we are talking about the same car? LOL.

thank you for watching and for commenting

No idea.

Thank you for watching and for commenting.

Probably. But I don't recall. It might be 12.

I don't recall anything like that but it's been a long while so don't take my word for it.

To change final drive, you change the differential ring gear and the entire output shaft, with the output shaft pinion matching the ring gear. Final drive has nothing to do with 6th gear.

@Merryfrankster_ ok, so if I want the taller 6th gear out of the matrix for better highway fuel economy, whole output shaft needs to come out?

@@Ma70rk No, if you want to change the final drive, which is what you asked, the output shaft has to come out. If you want to change sixth gear, that's a different question, you can do that just swapping sixth gear from your donor vehicle on both input shaft and output shaft. Words have meaning. Final drive does not mean highest gear.

@Merryfrankster_ thanks for clearing that up! Will definitely consider. Plotting if I want to attempt my own lsd installation, or buy donor c60 and swap 6th gear. Thank you! ✊🏼

Been a while, don't remember.

Make sure you are orienting the belt the correct way. It should align perfect every time. If it is flipped over, the marks will not align.

It helps the ECU to filter out noise for the sensor signals. You can get one out of a junkyard, they are the same for nearly every Toyota. Car will run without it, but runs better with it.

I appreciate it and yeah I did end up getting one from the junkyard, just gotta install. Thanks !

Normally the power steering pump is not too much trouble. Sometimes it is just as easy asa can be. But you might get unlucky. Keep your fingers crossed.

Change filter, change fluid, cross your fingers.

Change filter, change fluid.

You can use any M8x1.25 bolt from anywhere.

That was not a mistake. There was a reason for it. The change had to be done in situ with the engine on the ground, quickly. There was no time to monkey around and there was no "fighting" involved. Sometimes expedience takes precedence.

Correct, the bell housing is for the starter. Sure you can crank with the intake off. But don't let anything be sucked in to the engine.

@@Merryfrankster_ Thanks again Frankster.... you rule.

The noise you report is not from the cam gear housing falling apart. See my related video on the cam gears of 2gr-fe.

Which video specifically?? Mine sounds just like the death rattle for 1-3 seconds on cold start

@@83adub specifically the video on 2gr-fe cam gears - can I be any more specific than that? th-cam.com/video/WSVRH2bl0qs/w-d-xo.html

@@83adub for your noise, change the valve cover o-rings, clean the vvt oil filters, use a little bit heavier oil 10w30 or 10W40, and you should be good to go.

Thank you. So if it was the housing bolts or the collar coming out, would it be a different noise than just cold start rattle?

Interesting, i never knew there was one available. Link?
