Awesome! To be honest on Celicas I'd probably prefer the 7A-FE over the 5S-FE even though the 7A is smaller. They make similar power, the 7A is more mod-friendly, and it sounds so much better with a nice exhaust!
Absolutely love your videos! it's really funny I found your channel almost immediately after buying my Corolla wagon, your rolla has considerably less paint loss then mine though love the content and keep it up!
I got offered a '93 manual Corolla wagon for a parts car for only $400!! It barely runs he says. My main issue is where to park it. What do y'all think of this option?? 🤔
@@AutoFixYT My 1996 wagon runs great with ONLY a check engine code for a return oxygen sensor. Buying a parts car seems "excessive" and denying someone else the chance to fix it up. I've only got one ass, so don't need two (2) running cars 😏
I am curious to know if these oil pans can rott through from a rusty outer spot? I found a spot on mine that I should probably sand to clean metal and paint it
Yeah they can. That's what happened to my original one. This one isn't the original one anymore. They're steel so if they aren't painted, over time they will rot out
@@AutoFixYT it happens! LOL ... that happened to me when i was changing the auto tranny pan gasket & filter, missed two bolts on that th-cam.com/video/_1klImYJyHI/w-d-xo.html
Yes. But they usually don't hold as well as RTV. Also, on a 353k mile engine like this one, the pan has been removed many times for sure. I have removed it 3-4 times just throughout my ownership. And I bought it at 263k miles. So my point is the pan isn't perfectly straight anymore. And a lot of times a cork or rubber gasket will not seal up a warped pan but RTV will. So that's why I prefer RTV for this.
@@AutoFixYT Okay sounds good, I’ll probably do this next oil change. I just wanted to know which was better overall, don’t want to waste money on a gasket that won’t work. Keep the videos coming
@@poppinfresh5261 Well I'm glad I answered your question! Unless your oil pan is totally mangled (in which case you wanna get a new one lol) then a cork or rubber gasket will seal up but overall RTV wins just because it will last longer and is way more forgiving with any possible imperfections. Also Toyota uses RTV from the factory. So there's another reason right there lol
@@AutoFixYT I took a short video if you wish to see that stiffener plate on the channel. th-cam.com/video/t54WZGcbRuE/w-d-xo.html&feature=share I got the crank pulley off and valve cover today but now the issue is getting the middle plastic timing cover off! Top one was easy and managed to wiggle out the bottom to find a neat oil weep puddle from I think the front lower seal lol. But the middle one is not budging much because of the water pump pulley, what is the trick to removing that cover other than trying to remove the water pump pulley in that real tight spot TY!
Don’t own a Corolla but seeing how simple you make the maintenance seem, I think I should get one. Nice video as always!
Thank you! And yes these cars are very easy to work on
I Just picked up a celica with a 7afe and i'm glad I found your channel since there isn't a huge catalog of youtube videos for our cars. Thanks dawg

That was a great video. I have a 97 Corolla I have to do my oil pan gasket my car has 444 Thousand miles and still running strong
That's crazy! So many miles! Mine is at 354k miles, burns lots of oil but runs nicely otherwise
444k is insane! Corollas are like cockroaches, they won't die! you have to kill them LOL
Lol
im always watching ur vids as my guide when im doing something on my toyota corolla. thanks
I'm happy the videos help! Thanks!
Ayúdame por favor

As for the paint loss... At least yours isn't rotted out like mile lol

If it's not rusted out then it's worth it! You can always make it run better. Theyre fun cars, easy to work on, and rare!

@@apj341 Haha I didn't know you already had one. So I guess only you can decide in that case lol
Ohhhhhh, I am so here for this!
Awesome!
So, when are we getting a full engine swap video? My oil pump went out while driving and threw a rod. Could use a detailed walk through 😁
Oh no!! Well unfortunately I wasn't planning on that anytime soon haha
Swapping in a supercharged LS8 ? 😂
Lol that would rip the frame apart

Make sure you unscrew every single bolt before you try to take the oil pan out, or it would be twisted. Good job though.
Lol yeah I forgot to take one out and had no idea. Oops.
Thanks!

I gata know where you found the clear turn signals, i love them, absolutely want them for mine!
Amazon or ebay, can't remember. I bought them years ago though so hopefully you can still find them!
@@AutoFixYT Appericate it, ill have to go take a look!
Where did you get your blinkers and marker lights
Ebay or , can't remember. It's been a long time lol
Thank you
You're welcome
could you also just buy a gasket?
Yes. But they usually don't hold as well as RTV. Also, on a 353k mile engine like this one, the pan has been removed many times for sure. I have removed it 3-4 times just throughout my ownership.

weird how you also got a gs300 and a wagons, we might be brothers or something.
Haha that's awesome, hey it's a great combination of vehicles! Lol
My 96 Corolla 1.6litre has a stiffener plate that is in the way of doing this easy peezy
Interesting, where is the plate located?
@@AutoFixYT it has 5 bolts into rear end plate by the engine rear oil seal & transmission housing and covers half of the oil pan!
Weird, I've never seen that before. Must be a racecar lol
@@AutoFixYT lol it's a slow roller cruiser in the city light to light with the AT but it comes alive on the freeway screeming at 95mph with real gutso
@@AutoFixYT I took a short video if you wish to see that stiffener plate on the channel. th-cam.com/video/t54WZGcbRuE/w-d-xo.html&feature=share
