For anyone who is afraid of doing this on the Toyota 2.4. It's easy, really not hard. Bag and tag bolts and hardware, keep everything organized, and take your time. It looks like a mess with hoses and wires everywhere, but when you assmble it, everything falls in place. Plugs and hoses are long enough to reach so you don't get lost. I have not taken it out myself xi did the head gasket and head bolts and timing chain fix. I am decent DIY but It was my first deep dive. Worked perfectly
My engine blew out and I can't afford to take it to a professional. So I decided to do it myself. Love how you broke it down and shared the sizes that tools that would be needed for the job. Also how many bolt and nuts were in each area. Loved the video. I'll post my results on you next video
I have a 4 cylinder 2.4 l engine code 2AZFE 2007 Toyota Camry does this video apply to my car. How how big of a engine lift do I need. thanking you in advance my brother wonderful video
@@danaholland5922 it does, the engine itself if (if I remember correctly is about just under 300lb) so one that can handle half a ton in weight (certain engine hoist have different adjustments for different weights)
I’m about to do an engine swap on one of these to help a coworker. I generally won’t own or work on junk after obd2/airbags….appreciate the detailed video!
Hey brother you are a great mechanic. I love your videos. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and skills with the rest of us.. I'd buy you a beer anytime.
So how much difference if it's a manual version of the same car? Is it possible to pull just the engine while keeping the manual trans in the car? Because of the extended length of the input shaft of the manual trans.
Great knowledge of yours. I appreciate the videos. I have a 2008 Toyota RAV4 2.4L (2AZ-FE engine) and now burning oil. Car is under toyota technical bulletin T-SB-094-11 (Oil consumptions). I have zero skills about engine and I am seeking for an advice on how and where my RAV4 can be repaired. I'm from Virginia Beach VA. Car is being used by my daughter in college and I am concerned for her safety.Recommendation on service locations near me is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Great work! Mine has 167k miles now, and it runs smoothly. I hope it will run into troubles soon. I am wondering how many miles were on the car when the work was done. Thanks!
These are great cars overall. This engine had around 260k. The only reason they wanted to rebuild it was because it consumed oil. Other than that it didn't have any major engine issues.
@@ValleyMobileAutomotive I hope mine will get to 260k. My engine uses 1 quart 1000 miles of highway miles (65-70 MPH more than 2 hours to be considered highway miles). It does not burn oil if I just drive it in city miles.
@@ValleyMobileAutomotive My sons 2005 has 305,000 miles and was using about 1 quart every 1500 miles. It ran smooth but one of the fans broke and it overheated blowing a head gasket! It had oil in behind the thermostat. I am thinking about just swapping out the engine with another from a scrap yard. Curios as to how much a rebuild cost though?
Im working on the same engine right now and i am trying to figure out where the oil coming out of on the right side of the engine. Its pouring out from somewhere over there. Does this engine have a oil cooler or oil lines? Thanks for your help
There aren't any oil cooler lines but there are a few places where a leak can come from. Oil filter, front cover, front crank seal, power steering pump or lines...
Hello! Thank you taking the time creating this. How much (ballpark) should a guy expect a shop to quote this? Labor hours…engine cost is a big variable I suppose depending.
When rebuilding an engine the cost in labor is far more than the cost of parts. I believe this car took about 30hrs labor. Times that by the shop's hourly rate and you are around $3k. Then add the parts you're looking at about $4-5k plus tax. If the rest of the car is in good shape though you should get a long life out of a rebuilt engine.
I highly appreciate your videos. I’m changing my whole engine for my 03 Camry. How can I choose a good used engine? Do you think a lot of parts ( while dismounting the engine ) will be broken, I’m afraid my budget will not be enough !
Getting a used engine is always a gamble because you don't know the history of the vehicle it came out of. If you can rebuild your current engine that would be the cheapest if you are doing the work yourself. There shouldn't be many things that break, on this vehicle the biggest broken item was the belt tensioner which is no big deal to replace. Everything else came off nicely. We don't have rust issues here so if you do where you live take that into consideration.
@@ValleyMobileAutomotive thanks a lot for your valuable reply. Let me see what will happen. To rebuild the current engine is also a kind of gamble, as it’s not me who will do it, so I don’t know what kind of parts the mechanic will use then I’ll enter into repairing the new parts after a while !!! Thanks anyway 👍👍👍
Hey thanks! This was a 33hr job. Multiply that by your shop's hourly rate. It's easier swapping an already rebuilt engine but it's cheaper to rebuild the one you already have. And it's fun too 🙂
Hello again) Engine is stuck (it’s blocked). The only idea I have now is to pull it together with transmission. please advice is there any better way. thank you!!
@@ValleyMobileAutomotivethank you! I have replaced an engine together with transmission and whole wiring on the engine. I have took engine from 2004 LE and have put it in 2002 XLE - I have voltage on ignition coils but no spark at all. should I go to swap ECU? maybe there is something I should doule check? thank you in advance!
@@BikirAndriy see if the injectors are working. If you don't have spark or injection then you may be dealing with a crank sensor or crank sensor wiring issue.
Melling is a good brand but they can be expensive sometimes. DNJ is pretty popular. Many rebuild kits like EngineTech use some components from DNJ. In my opinion FelPro makes some of the best gaskets. Hope this helps some 👍
I'm trying to change the engine mount on the right passenger side for a 2005 camry but I am worried about damaging the transmission if I lift the engine too much without lifting the transmission at the same time. So I am wondering should I loosen all the top nuts of all 3 mounts at the bottom, then remove the torque strut mount at the top and then lift BOTH engine and transmission at the same time, get the RH engine mount out in order to avoid damaging the transmission and possibly break any seals and cause an oil leak? Ideas? Thanks.
You will be fine jacking the engine up without unbolting any other mount. If it's a manual transmission there is a lateral control rod behind the CV axle that needs to be unbolted but not on the automatic. The engine will clear the mount just fine 👍
If you don’t mind me asking what was wrong with the engine. I myself recently got a 02 camry le with cylinder codes when i bought it & a 02 oxygen sensor code. But car runs good.
Hey, thank you for the video! Those 6 bolts left, behind the squared plastic cover, between engine and transmission. How to turn the engine to reach each bolt?? Thank you in advance))
You can use a ratchet and socket on the crank shaft pulley bolt. Turn the engine clockwise to get access to each bolt. You can also hold the engine from spinning while getting those bolts loose.
You had it lucky. I was following and I have to evacuate my refrigerant. Scared me at first since it's my first time doing this. But I'm not too worried about ac. Can be fixed later. But would be helpful if I could know what tool or equipment I can use to fix it
@@1ndoR4ptor You should be able to unbolt and move the AC compressor out of the way without evacuating the refrigerant. The minimum tools required for evacuation are a set of gauges, recovery machine, recovery tank, scale and new refrigerant if needed. AC is refilled by weight and not pressure. There should be a sticker somewhere under the hood that has the weight needed.
@@ValleyMobileAutomotive I am stuck on one part. Trying to remove the wire from the back of the engine is a pain in the butt because on the right side. That's the pain area to get to
@@1ndoR4ptor I know what you mean. There are a couple of 10mm bolts holding the wiring harness on to the engine. Once you locate the bolts and remove them the harness will be easier 👍
These are good cars. They do tend to burn oil so that's something to keep an eye on if you purchase it. It could be a good price if the car is in great shape. Make sure you have a trusted mechanic or friend look it over before you buy.
You forgot to disconnect the battery when you were virtually half way dismantling engine parts. You were lucky nothing got active especially alternator parts.
@@ralphyo6285 There are only two live wires. One going to the alternator the other to the starter. As long as you disconnect the battery before removing these live wires you're ok to remove other parts.
Ive got every last bolt off of the damn thing, all the flywheel bolts out, all motor mounts out, no hoses or wires and the damn thing will not detach.. cant even break the seal..
There are two dowels near the top of the bell housing. One towards the front and one towards the back side. Sometimes those are hard to break free. The only thing I can think of if everything is unbolted is a long breaker bar for leverage.

Quite an empowering DIY quote.
Shavings on back of engine = insert drilling shavings. Someone had already been into that engine

hi, thanks for awesome video... just want to know can i pull the motor just as easy with the trans still on after disconnecting the drive shafts?
Looking forward to the next one!

Quick question do I need to put an oil pan under the transmission or motor and will any oil spill out when removing it ???
@@marioperez-li4yq No fluid should spill out. I drained the oil and coolant first. It wouldn't hurt to have one underneath anyway.
