- Customer brought to a shop and they wanted to replace parts that looks like it was leaking, but the real problem was that the timing chain tensioner gasket was leaking and spreading the oil all over underneath it. Make sure to get a second opinion and also inspect it yourself before agreeing to expensive repairs. We will follow up on this video with an update on the leaking oil area since we cleaned the area with brake clean after replacing the gaskets.

Just finished replacing the timing chain tensioner on my 2002 Toyota Camry LE. I watched numerous videos before attempting this. After jacking up the car, and removing the front-right wheel, I tried to find it from underneath (as one video showed), but could not locate it. I then began on top, but still couldn't locate it. So I took a break, and watched your video again. Did exactly what you showed us, and found it, removed it, then replaced it with a new device. I took my time reconnecting everything, then rotated the engine clockwise and heard the noise. Such relief. Started the car, everything works. Your video is the only one, that I have found, that shows us how to remove parts to make the job so much easier. Thank you for your presentation.
I admire your patience in dealing with the timing belt tensioner bolts.
Sir, the tip at minute 8 to disconnect the harness box was worth gold. I was stuck at that point. Thank you for pointing this out. Other videos they don't bother, just show you the tensioner out and that is that. Well done.
Absolutely, this video made me a little nervous because so much was removed to accomplish the little task, and I thought I would surely miss something and the car wouldn't start. But, it did. An easy job is only easy because of difficult preparation.
Can anyone please provide more details on how they removed the harness retaining clamp on the side of the engine at the 8:15 mark? I ended up prying so hard that I ended up braking the plastic tab off ad bending the metal bracket out of the way. Oh well. Despite this though, I was unable move the clamp far enough away from the tensioner to get it out. Thanks for any help, or if someone can make a more detailed video showing how to do it or describe it as a response to this? Thanks.
Ok for anyone looking for the specifics of how to release the tensioner once it is in, install it like he showed here with the hook over the stud remove the valve cover and get a long pick and a light. The service information says to turn the motor counter clockwise to put tension on the chain guide and allow you to pull the hook over. Obviously on this you go very little on the crankshaft on mine I heard a slight clunk and then I was able to move the hook. This is in a really crappy spot and the hook is barely visible but once the hook is free of the stud you slowly turn the motor the normal clockwise direction and you will hear the tensioner spring out to take up the slack (still going very slowly of course). Turning the crankshaft just clockwise will not release the tension on the hook since all of the tension will be on the other side of the chain pulling down on the intake cam from the crank sprocket. Hope this helps someone just go slow and make sure to get a very long pick tool probably close to 12".
Thanks for that valuable tip. Much appreciated.
Make video
One of the best videos, no excess non related talking, to the point instructions and good well lit video. Coil pack plugs do not need to replace broken clips, they will never come loose.Thanks.
Nicely done and very helpful. I am trying to get at a Chain Tensioner on a Toyota Estima Van and working space is horrible. I always appreciate seeing a little bit of discovery along the way. More like reality and makes me feel less idiotic.
Thanks for the tip about the tab release on the wiring harness. I've been trying to remove it with no success. I owe you a beer!
Np, it was a PITA lol
@@NutzAboutBolts I tried releasing the latch. My hands are too big to reach it. I ended up forcing the harness casing off the holding bar. Broke the latch. No big deal. It's still held in place by a bolt. I'm not too worried.
BTW, I think oil can leak from the VVTi solenoid, above the chain tensioner. The o-ring on the solenoid is rock hard.
Andrew Evanoff yes that’s possible too, but the common leak is from the tensioner.

This is a little off topic but is there a way to tell if a 2.4L Camry has had the oil consumption fix done? There's a lot of them for sale but I don't want to get one that hasn't been fixed.
It is a good practice to clean the engine with degreaser. This will help you to spot leaks easier after replacing the valve cover gasket.
Thank you very much for your time and video. I found it extremely helpful.
Thank you for the informative and helpful video. I was able to change the timing tensioner on my brother's 2003 Toyota Highlander 4 cylinder. Cranked the crankshaft pulley clockwise slowly and was able to hear the tensioner engage. Great video!
Hello does the gasket and timing chain tensioner fix the problem on the 2003 Toyota Camry, thanks nice video
So...did this fix the oil leak? I have a major leak coming from somewhere in the general location of the tensioner. I replaced the valve cover gasket already, but that didn't help.
Great video sir. I have 03 Camry and when its on idle, there is a scratchy noise coming above the timing cover. When its on drive, the scratchy noise goes away. Do you think its the timing chain tensioner too?
It is likely the problem. It will rattle for sure.
Awesome video so many details bro thanks for your help

@@NutzAboutBolts you welcome
Very good video! I like it.
Whu only taking the negative off?? I take both off is that cool to do too?
thanks very good video
Anyone have a part number for the timing chain tensioner gasket? I bought a replacement timing chain tensioner but it didn't come with a new gasket.
Can anyone please provide more details on how they removed the harness retaining clamp on the side of the engine at the 8:15 mark? I ended up prying so hard that I ended up braking the plastic tab off ad bending the metal bracket out of the way. Oh well.

There’s a plastic tab on the back where you pull down to unlock it, then you pull the whole harness back to remove it from that gold retainer metal bracket. It was hard to film it because it is a tight space and you wouldn’t be able to see it because you have to feel it with your fingers when reaching down there. There’s way too many wires to try to fit a GoPro down there and it’s only hand tight space. That’s the best we could do and explain it while it was out. I hope that helps, if not, maybe someone commented about it in the comments on that issue.
When you install the cam lobes will you encounter resistance or they will just fall into place?
how can you tell how tight is enough on the valve cover?
Thank you so much for this video! I changed both gaskets with your help! Looks like I still have a leak... Quick question - what is the part right above the timing chain tensioner? (The cylindrical part with a plug going into it) And does that have an oil gasket as well? I'm trying to figure out if I still have a leak at the tensioner or if it's coming from that other part. THANKS!!
I found it... It's the VVTI Solenoid and it does have an O-Ring. QUESTION: Would it make changing the Timing Chain Tensioner easier if you first remove the VVTI Solenoid? It seemed to be, just want other opinions. Thanks again.
Use a small screwdriver to slightly lift coil tabs so they don’t break.
i watch youtube to see if there are any short cuts to learn and i hate doing timeimg chain tensioners on camrys. i cu he shit out of my hands every time.
anyway when you pulled the plastic cover off the valve cover it appeared the valve cover wasnt leaking if you look at the video it appeared the oi was spillage from the cap trailing down and around under tha feel good do nothing plastic do nothing cover
I can sense a little knocking in a VVT 2L, specially when cold. You guys think that might be the tensioner?
No thats normal it takes some presure for the engine to push the oils through the hydrolic system.
Would this work for a 06 TC? Looks kinda similar.
Joe Young yes it works with TC. It’s just a tighter space to work with.
can i know how much it costs to have a job like this done , please ? i am in ky.
annette miller I’m not too sure, it all depends on your dealership.
V6 Camry 2005 I was quoted 150 at a dealership
Took 2 hours and cost me $15
Single heads will cost u up to 500 but double heads will cost u up to 1500 or more at dealer.
"a half inch breaker bar might help" says our intrepid host... Gotta say, BEST investment EVER... $20 at Harbour Freight, and it has made life SO much easier!
Looking for a Mobile mechanic in Brooklyn New York that can handle this kind of work
when and how did the tensioner, after installation, get extended?
Once you install the chain tensioner, you use a 1/2 ratchet with a socket and crank the crankshaft pulley clockwise to engage the tensioner back onto the timing chains

Interesting, I've a ' 99 camry, thinking of getting an ' 05 camry if the price is right. The ' 99 is very simple and dependable, you can get a lot of bottom access by removing passengers side wheel and a plastic cover behind it. I'll have to look at the ' 05, it would help if it had that. I didn't care much for the valve cover here, the '99 has 4 nuts on spark plug tube, torque to 31 ft. lbs. I like to torque things to spec. and expect it to work. Interesting video, I'm SURE it's of value for those attempting this.
@@JamesSmith-jq2jc 31 FT/LBS on a valve cover nut/bolt????!!!!! That seems like WAAAAY too much torque!!!
@@sblagg527 actually, it's 33 ft-lbs of torque. Looking at the book right now. There are 4- 30 mm nuts that hold down the valve cover. I just did this a couple months ago. I always use torque listed in manual.

Did you have to drain the oil first or does it sit low enough to where it won’t leak with the tensioner out?
It’s high enough where you don’t need to drain the oil
Never use an impact
Umm looks like its only supposed to be a part 1 lol
Never, ever, remove a timing tensioner without marking the chain to the sprockets. Got very lucky on this one that the cams didnt jump a tooth or two.
Never had issues just removing the chain tensioner.
Has nothing to do with marking chain sprockets. That method is old school. Just put the hook latch over the end of the tensioner and throw it in and it will release on its own. You guys are overthinking this.
He is going to do all over again because he forgot to un-clip the timing chain tensioner.
Andy Abreu what happens if he forgets to un clip? Will it really stay unclipped in the engine?
I think he did but if not the engine will blow up in minutes.
No he rotated the crank clockwise with a ratchet causing the tensioner to come unclipped and extend

Good video but don't buy or own any cars made in japan.
Chỉ như vậy thì người ta không biết làm là cái chắc
