You saved my sanity. Accidentally locked my vvti gear after rebuilding my motor and was dreading removing the timing chain cover inside the engine bay.
What stops the chain from falling off the crank sprocket ? Surely with all the slack it will just drop off and will be impossible to realign without taking cam cover off ?
You are right and I understand your concern. In my case, the chain didn't slide down - and I repeated that maneuver 2-3 time before filming. But, if you have further concerns, you can blok the left and the right side of chain using some thin wires - before to make this maneover.
@@Bradley0beaver I left the chain freely because *** I could feel *** that's no chance to slide down; the friction between the chain and the guides - hinder the slide. But how already I said, to be 100% sure, you can use some thin wire to fasten the both side of chain.
I took a look at a toyota camry 2.4 L - timing assembly (video clip). It looks similar with my Toyota Corolla. Very likely will work on camry 2.4 L but I am not 100% sure.
Almost a year and your still gifting people with 4 1/2 more hours of life. Add me to that list I thank you sir this video needs a go viral 💯

@@danciambur4857I get that, but in your video you just left the chain sitting after moving the 2 cams, why didn’t it fall off the bottom sprocket ?

is this possible with 1zzfe?
In my opinion, yes! The engine(1ZZ-FE 1.8L ) seems to be similar to my Toyota Corolla 2002 (similar not identical)
Can this done on a 2009 Toyota Camry 2.4
