A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician shows a Toyota Engine Partial Tear Down to repair a Front Timing cover leak repair and VVTi Gear replacement.
This 2013 Toyota Corolla has the dreaded VVTi rattle on cold start. in this video we will tear the front of the engine apart to first replace the VVTI gear that’s causing the cold start rattle then reseal the front timing cover as well.
I will share with you tips and tricks on sealing Toyota engines using FIPG or Form In Place Gasket. Proper prep and absolute cleanliness is very important in jobs like this to prevent issues with the engine and make sure you don’t have leaks in the near future.

Thanks for this video. I really learned a lot. First and foremost, I learned to leave it all to the Toyota expert technicians to do the job!
I was hoping you were going to wear eye protection when using the brake cleaner.
Wow you really are impressive! I’m in midst of a small bathroom Reno (gutted then rebuilding) and fought Covid last week but better now.
Great video… You definitely know what your doing.
We did a head gasket on a 2013 Prius recently.. engine looks basically the same.
While the intake is off, good time to do the PCV valve.. its on the front on the engine under the intake.
A little trick me friend uses on the sealer.. We used the Gray Permatex stuff.. similar to Honda Bond.
as you said.. CLEAN EVERTHING. we used a air whizzy wheel with a mild scrubber type. Takes it all off but cannot scratch the aluminum.
But the way you did it was great too. and no air needed.
For the sealant… a very light skim coat of sealant on once side.. we did it on the engine side.. reaching in thru the wheel well. let that set up just a bit.. then put the cover on with the thicker coat like you had. the skim coat wont come off and helps to cover any possible area that maybe gets wiped off as your installing the cover. This works well on differential covers also.
Fantastic video… wish we had see it before we did the Prius.. some good tips on the order of disassembly.
I miss doing this kind of work. Did many timing cover jobs under warranty. Best way to clean Coolant off I found is hot water. I like the scotch pad cleaning tip. Bless you my brother.
How many miles on that engine if he said it I missed it
Wow, you are fantastic! The only problem is after watching this, I don't want ANYONE except you working on my cars. Wish I lived closer to Chicago.
no diy, i am buying a new car…its so complicated
Use a mini bungee to hold the guide up you fish it in there when the valve cover is off and then put a 10 mm bolt from the cover back on and it’ll hold perfectly
I hope that your business expands to the point that you can retire by selling it.
We are so "OCD" or should I say "CDO" Which is "Alphabetically" correct.
Guess if my car is around to the point it needs this (2011 corolla), I’ll be driving the 800-ish miles to Chicago for this. So far, knock on wood, 165k and no leaks, and no rattle (religious oil changes and highway driving, it rattled when I first bought the car used at 97k, but after a few oil changes with toyota oil, it stopped doing it at about 110k and hasn’t since, sadly, my car is a lot rustier under the body, so I’m guessing another 2-ish years and I’ll be sending it down the road
Lucky customer. Has his/her car in a good hand.
Too bad I don't live in Chicago area!
you and i both know you've just removed the valve cover, held the chain up and swapped the cam gears on many many a toyota. especially when hit with warranty. i hope your new shop got ya out of the dealership – all the new tundra recalls are hitting my shop and im getting WAY TOO FAMILIAR with the twin tubro tundra
That was awesome to watch and see how much pride and skilled workman ship you put into your customers cars! Not many people that take the time to do things right and as if it was their own vehicle! You are an awesome mechanic!
What are your thoughts on cleanable K & N air filters?
I have noticed that your macanic Shop is not how you say it was going to be like
Very cool!!!
And what is the use of wearing rubber gloves if they keep on braking why don't you wear machanics gloves and they won't
How much does this all costs and how often do you have to do this because you should not have to do anyway if you say is that it a great car you say it is because the car is getting to expensive and you don't want to do this all the time if it keeps on braking down for the the money you spent on buying the car
