  • Mechanics-eye view of 5SFE Head Gasket replacement on a 1997-2001 Camry 4 cylinder.
    This car had a blown head gasket that introduced exhaust gas into the cooling system and crankcase.
    I show you how to replace the gasket in your own garage, including how to replace valve stem seals. Enjoy!

    Just finished doing the head gasket on my daughters 2001 Camry. The first thing I do before any job
    like that is to search youtube for extra hints etc.so I came across your video. I have done lots of jobs on different cars and
    seen many videos online, yours is without doubt the best I have ever seen , thanks so much for posting this.

    The symptom of my 2001 Camry was exhaust gas going into the cooling system and causing the car to overheat and rough idle. After following your video and I was able to replace the head gasket and valve seal without issue. Now the car runs perfectly. Thank you.

    Mod MINI you're literally the best step by step mechanic. Luckily my car is the 1997 2.2 fe automatic Camry literally same car even the color only difference is literally the vin no. Anyways bought It back in September from a guy who worked at Toyotas garage for 28 years he worked with me at steakhouse also anyway he ran it on the dealership shop diagnostic and I had some censors out when I bought it from him well lost my job bad luck ect. Just now getting around to it bless tax returns anyway my o2 exhaust sensor is out the front 1. About 2 months ago noticed my car got alot louder well just got under it yesterday and the flex pipe is busted and disconnected from the front pipe Cadillac convert. While I know those are problems and pretty sure going to have to do exhaust manifold and converter well I noticed oil had has build up in an area near front right axle mostly around tire rod area/top boot this is obviously my biggest problem as of now. With an educated guess do you think it's from an oil pump seal seems to be near were the oil/grim has built up behind and below it. Well while checking my fluids the radiator over flow. Seems to show I light line of oil residue if I give it a little wiggle. Soo maybe doing my head gasket.. probably am taking care of first said problems first would that be ok or should I go ahead for the head gasket. The guy I got this car from did the valve cover gasket and belts at 240k I bought the car off him at 250k and it's now at 254k. Last thing I forgot to mention speed sensor is going out as well. Any advice on what to do first would be tremendous help I'm not very car savvy and still in hard times. I only paid 1200 for the car what should be my first fixes. BBecause I'm only going to have around 400 dollars to put in it.

I am the 3rd owner and I have spent money since 2020 for some repairs.. She still has her tires.. Mechanics replaced her valve cover gasket.. Timing belt, Spark plus,Serpentine chain and alternator belt. They even replaced the Speedometer sensor that went bezerk in the spring. Two weeks again the Thermostat,.. now I'm suspecting the darn #headgasket .. such a pain. I wouldn't trade this car for a million dollars..! She's worth it.. !

    A truly fascinating pair of videos. Computer assembly is actually quite a lot simpler than car repair, I've come to realize after watching this. A lot of the same caution is required (and a lot of the same basic principles apply), but clearly there is a lot more that can go wrong with car repair. No wonder mechanics are paid so well.

    • @ModMINI
      @ModMINI  Před 7 lety

      True... I used to be a computer tech as well. I use my brain more when working on cars. There are a lot of things that can go wrong and sometimes difficult to read the clues and know what. The onboard diagnostic codes sometimes point at something totally different. It's a good feeling when You replace one part and everything works perfectly, rather than throwing parts at it and hoping something will make a difference.

  • @AikidoTubeSock
    @AikidoTubeSock Před 5 lety +3

    This was hands down the best auto repair video that I've seen on CZcams thus far; precise in both explaining things and in the repair. This guy had done this before and was familiar with the parts, the tools and how everything went together including the caveats. Almost every other repair video on CZcams that I have watched includes learning as they went, imprecise or just wrong information on things like which tools to use, torque settings etc. Many include breakage due to inexperience or just plain clumsiness.
    I am puzzled by one thing however; when you tightened down the head you used the correct sequence and mentioned the torque. Then it looks like you tightened them to specs and then also added a 90' turn. Why add torque by hand when you have a torque wrench?

    • @ModMINI
      @ModMINI  Před 5 lety +1

      Actually I never worked on one of these cars before. This was years ago and I can't recall, but a lot of engines call out torque and then specify additional tightening angle.

      Got to do this to my 1990 Camry 2.0 L. I just got the gal.refill yellow degreaser, use it instead of other less effective and costly stuff. Of course in the 60s Dad and I would use leaded regular gas. He mentioned that we could buy "white gas" for parts cleaning, but, we never did. I don't know where you got the idea that the buckets and shims became a "hydraulic lifter" because I don't have to even look in a book to know that can't be.Why do you think that the shims are sold,and there is a clearance spec. Also at 200+thousand miles why not at least lap the valves? I see that car has 4tube shorty header, looks like stainless, from the factory. I have a heavy cast iron turd manifold. Going to scout the yards for your style, should be a bolt on improvement including the heat shield. BTW they are named retainers and keepers. Get a helper.

    I am installing a head I have rebuilt on the same type of engine. I read in the manual of the requirement to put a bolt in the exhaust camshaft to lock the gears together so they will be together for installation. I installed the bolt after removal of the camshaft and had a time putting the necessary rotation on the front gear in order to put the bolt in for reinstallation of the exhaust camshaft. I gather the tension exerted between the two gears is to keep the gears from chattering by keeping the gears meshed under tension. I enjoyed and got much out of the video...

    • @ModMINI
      @ModMINI  Před 8 lety

      Yes that is what the split gear is there for. I have seen people able to get a split gear (on other cars, not sure if doable on this one) lined back up by using a bench vise to keep stuff from flopping around until the bolt/pin can be inserted. For whatever reason I had no issues with this car, the split gear didn't move hardly at all on disassembly.

    So this is why the Toyota mechanics , my local repair guy , and the other repair guy were going to charge me like... 900$ to 1200$ to do that :(
    After watching your video I can see why. But you make it seem possible for me to do that to my 97 camry with 329K miles.
    Especially when everyone keeps telling me to just keep putting oil in it (when Im leaking like crazy) and just run the car to the ground. The car is sentimental to me because It used to belong to my friend that committed suicide (not IN the car). The family knew I didnt have a car , so they gave me her car and Ive been doing my best to keep it running. When I got the car it had 197K miles and now Ive got 330K miles.
    I really want to try to do this if i have time , and someone knowledgeable looking over my shoulder. Then I wont be such a scardy girl when It comes to car repairs.

  • @andretsang7337
    @andretsang7337 Před 4 lety

    A few really important things to know that he doesn't cover too well or at all in these videos:
    1. Removing the camshaft in the right way - remove the cam bearings IN PASSES, not unlike how you'd take off the head bolts. Don't just take one bearing off all the way. That may bend you camshaft.
    2. Remove your head bolts and re-apply them IN THE RIGHT ORDER or you will warp your head, forcing you to redo this entire job. Also remember to use new head bolts
    3. Good sealing techniques - if you don't apply your seals the right way, that includes cam seals, valve stem seals, etc they will leak and you might as well not have done it at all. Look up how to do them correctly
    4. Speaking of valve stem seals, you don't need a special tool for the valve keepers. Just a deep socket, vice grip pliers, and an extended magnet tool for removal, plus a piece of cardboard + vice grips + socket for installation
    5. You might as well do your timing belt/water pump/crank seal at the same time, since they're right there.
    6. Be sure to clean properly your mating surfaces between the head and block, and make sure they are smooth & TOTALLY FLAT down to 2/1000ths of an inch, minimum. Otherwise your head gasket will fail.

    • @ModMINI
      @ModMINI  Před 4 lety +1

      Good points. 1: it could break the camshaft or the bearing caps.

    Excellent reference video to watch *before* doing this job.One missing part: before removing the exhaust camshaft, you need to insert a service bolt to keep to two halves of this gear from moving. Within these gears there is an internal scissors spring which helps keep some tension on the two halves. I guess this is to reduce valve train noise. Be sure to remove this bolt after re-installing the exhaust camshaft.That procedure is explained on this pdf link: bgbonline.celicatech.com/93celica/em/cylinderhead5sfe.pdf

      +Dadoo Good point. For some reason this car came apart and went together fine without that. Two halves of the gear stuck to each other perhaps?

      could be clogged radiator trust me radiator caused my coolant to flow out of the tank all because of clog. I thought it was until I did combustion leak test and colour never changed

    did you not use a bolt to hold the subgear to the cam gear on the exhuast camshaft?

    • @cdogg1787
      @cdogg1787 Před 3 lety

      he did not. I believe it was mentioned in the comments on part 1. I have removed 2 of these heads and 1st one I used the bolt and when I took the bolt out the 2 gears moved. 2nd one I didn't use a bolt and the gears didn't move.

    In one of your earlier Mini videos, you used a large silver clamp type tool to compress the spring retainers in order to remove the magnets from a Mini cylinder head. Could that tool have been used on this Toyota cylinder head?

    Great job. Thanks for sharing. This is a tedious and time consuming job. I can see why shops charge so much. If I had your tools, time, energy, and patience I wouldn't mind taking a stab at this. Question: I recently did a combustion test on this make and model and the test liquid turned light green which according to forums, is a sign that the head gasket isn't severely damaged. Before I shell out a grand to a mechanic,, would a head gasket sealer be a good first line of defense? Thank you.

    • @ModMINI
      @ModMINI  Před 8 lety

      +arry a I don't know what test liquid you are talking about. The normal way to test is a compression test followed by a leak down test. It will show where the air is going. Head gasket sealers work about 10% of the time and make a huge mess of things the other 90% of the time. You might give it a try but it could run your cooling system.

    Very very nice video :)
    At 19:30 you say 23 Nmfor the 30mm nut. The Toyota service manual say 44 Nm. I had to do some research on that cause after I had it at the work shop, it was leaking oil and engine was not running well at load up to 2000 RPM.
    The 30mm nuts was like one full turn off from 44 Nm, and when I tighten them to 44 Nm the oil leak was gone, and engine was running smoothly again :)
    44 Nm felt pretty damn tight, so I hope the service manual is right!

    • @ModMINI
      @ModMINI  Před 9 lety

  • @69beast440
    @69beast440 Před 6 měsíci

    I just replaced the head gasket on a 2000 Camry 2.2L and after it idles and warms up the engine cooling fans don't come on. I replaced the cooling switch and relay but they still don'
    t come on. Both hoses get hot, I'm wondering if it still has air in the system or is it possible to put the head gasket on backwards? I can get the fans to come on by disconnecting the temperature switch, so I know the fans are working. Any ideas?

  • @JermaineLeeBlueprintAuto

    Awesome video those tips will help alot I bought a 2001 camary with a spun bearing and I bought a engine from a junkyard and swapped it new seals and timing it kit.. after I started it everything was good until I started bleeding the coolant . Alot of smoke was coming out of the radiator... shaking my head now I have to pull the head I hope there is no cracks.... how critical is that zertek coolant

    How many hours did it take you to do this?

I can do basic jobs on cars- oil changes, spark plugs, that type of stuff. It seems like doing this will allow me to learn a lot about the inner workings of an engine.
