    if an automatic transmission, you need a flywheel locking tool to do it, or an air impact wrench

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    for that one, try a bottle of AT 205 reseal in the engine oil, it can seal em since you already had it changed, it may not be too cracked. Amazon sells the stuff, it can be hard to find

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    you put the crank on the top dead center mark, and pray that's right. if not, turn the engine one more rotation around. Set the dist to point at number one spark plug position when you have it set up

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    yes, most mechanics go straight by the labor hour charge rate no matter how fast they can actually do the job.

    Hey cool to see this vid, i just a couple of days ago changed mine on my Peugeot 205 from 1990
    But it was the seal behind the flywheel so i had to get the gearbox, starter, gear linkage, clutch, driveshafts and flywheel off before i could get to it.
    Quitte a fun job to do, it took my about a day together with a buddy of mine.
    Greetings from Holland and keep up the good work.

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    you lock the flywheel with a special tool, or in this case just tighten it in gear cause it was a standard transmission. Can't do that with an automatic though

  • @davidlandivar7710
    @davidlandivar7710 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is it imperative to grease the inner part of the new seal? The outer part? What type of greases are acceptable to use? Some people use "silicone" around the outside of the seal? what type of silicone product would that have to be? And just one more thing, If a timing belt does not have directional arrows, is it safe to assume that it can be placed either way? Thank the lord (or science) for people like you! Again I say, hope you make millions!

  • @mr.anthonygrier2937
    @mr.anthonygrier2937 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I took my car to a commercial auto repair shop. They said they couldn’t find the leak and advised me to take it to the dealership for repairs. My girlfriends dad took a look at it and immediately knew to replace the crank shaft seal. No more oil leak.

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    lifters on those are VERY weak, but have the battery tested and the starter and replace either if bad, that can cause slow cranking. But if they are OK, then your engine is just flat wearing out with worn timing chain and other internal parts.

  • @bryanjones4985
    @bryanjones4985 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video. All of Scotty's videos are entertaining. About to do this on my 2000 Camry since the timing belt broke and it's leaking. Make sure you get good quality brand parts, that way you only have to do the job once.

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    often worn bearings do lower pressure like that, but realize any worn engine oil passageways can drop oil pressure. Pretty much educated guesswork when taking the engine apart until you start measuring everything. that's what plastigauge is for

  • @hawktomnia007
    @hawktomnia007 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's not the vehicle manufacturer that matters, it is really the previous maintenance that really makes a difference. If the previous owner never did oil change regularly, the car won't be reliable no matter how well made it is. I bought 99 Toyota Corolla with 100K miles& the car was abused by the previous owner. Now, it's having rear main seal leak& I have to put a few quarts of oil into engine every month. To replace the rear main seal, you gotta pull the transmission, which costs about $1000

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว +9

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    depends on how it was taken care of. Just don't pay much for one with that kind of mileage on it, things will break being that old. They are decent cars for the most part.

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    unplug the electrical connection at the AC compressor clutch that supplies it power. Then it can't run, and if the problem stops, compressor is weak or AC system has internal blockage

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    tons of things can do that, so first, have the battery load tested, places like auto zone do that free. As can a weak starter, which can also be load tested.

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    often a leaking cam seal will do that and on many models you have to take the cam off to replace the inner cam seal.

  • @scottykilmer

    yea, they weren't very popular due mainly to low horsepower engines. I would also replace cam seals and oil pump seals while you're in there.

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    generally put a new tension assembly on IF the belt is new

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    engine oil is used to lube the inner part. realize any grease you put on would quickly just fly off anyway. Yes, timing belts can go either way if they don't have directional arrows on them

    about half an hour for each, but the shooting really depends on the severity of the job, how long it actually takes to fix something.

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    as tight as I could get it. And often you can put some locktite bolt sealer on the end, then quick tighten it and that will set it tight so it won't come off.

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    you need a special tool to put on the flywheel to do that in an automatic transmission. But this was a standard so I just left it in gear with the parking brake on.

    timing belt systems are as you describe, but this is a timing chain engine, so the seal is on the outside.

  • @scottykilmer

    this was a standard, I just put it in gear. But if an automatic, you must somehow lock the flywheel from turning, they make tools for that

  • @kenman1717
    @kenman1717 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    you made that seal change look so easy, i'm sure it is, haven't done one on that make yet, but i was wondering, when you tightened the crank bolt back on, what were you using to keep the crank from turning. i understood the loosening, but with out locking the flywheel i'm tying to understand how you got the bolt tight. you mentioned taking the rad out to use the impact gun, usually when i do them i go that way for loosening and tightening, makes it easier in a way.

    I bought a Corolla with 100k. Put ~55 on it so far without any major problems. The only real problems I've had so far are a bad intake manifold gasket ($10) and a bad automatic tensioner ($75 off amazon). Very easy to work on yourself, too.

  • @22Angst

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I personally use AT 205 reseal for that, damages nothing. But of course the seal can't be completely shot and torn, which you can't tell, so it is a gamble.

  • @davidhollfelder9940
    @davidhollfelder9940 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    On newer cars, you have to switch to off very fast, as the starter will continue to crank even if you let go of the key and start the engine!

    @squidboy0769 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Scotty, if the book time for a repair is 2.4 hours and the mechanic does it in 1.5 hours because they are experienced with my model car and very familiar with the procedure can they charge me the full 2.4 hours in labor? What if they had 2 techs working on it? Thank you, great video as always.

  • @scottykilmer
    @scottykilmer  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    yes, it often can. But not in this case, it was too old and cracked.

  • @doug2060
    @doug2060 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I know Scotty is right about many things and I hate to knock him but please don't follow this video even if you have the same car. He should at least mention differences in cars and pullers and various tools. You can easily find yourself halfway through this process and without the proper tools to finish. It leaves out some things that need to be done and I hope he did them off camera. This procedure is different depending on the vehicle but even here on this car he missed important steps. Most notably to me was not cleaning the balancer/pulley. Do you see the back of the pulley that actually makes contact with and slides into the new seal? You need to clean that up with an emery cloth or at least a scotch brite. That's burned/cooked oil residue that can and will ruin your new seal. There's a real good chance that it may start leaking again in a few weeks or months.
