Anyone have a special toyota cam shaft pulley tool for doing the timing belt on 4.7v8. I need to borrow one for a few days, amazon ships September 2nd.....I can pay deposit or whatever. I have alot of tools wouldn't mind loaning either of someone needs it.

Got it purring like a kitten. Dont know if it was the TDC or loose ground🤪

Followed the FSM as well as Otramm video. Second time doing this, first time in 2015 was on stand and full rebuild. Should be good on top two cams just gotta mess with figuring out compression stroke vs the other stroke now lol

Thank the lord because I dont want to take the valve cover off again

So now I'm questioning whether I had the two cams mated with the big one on the correct TDC?

Beleive so, I've taken that thing off alot since I've owned it. Been staring at the SOB and can't come up with a reason it wouldn't start

I dont understand. The TDC is exactly there no? With #1 at the top of the range of travel?

Yes I checked the mark on the wheel and confirmed with flashlight after I took out the spark plug. The #1 cylinder was all the way up.

Welp low range shifter was in N , didnt check that before. Not sure how that happened. Still won't start

Hey folks, I had a burnt valve and had to do a head removal to take it i to shop. Long story short git this back together and can't get it to start. Cranks and cranks. I took dizzy back out and made double sure alignment was good with the cam and still no go. I think it has something to do with...

Hello, I finally got my head on and engine back together after a valve job and replacement of two burnt valves. I can't get this thing to start. Took plug out made sure was lined up with TDC and distributor was oriented correctly and still won't turn over. I did notice that after I removed...

Nope, runs and drives but she ain't being driven anymore until this valve issues resolved.

I have no reason to believe head or block would have any damage from a leaky valve. If your suggesting this is possible what makes you think so? especially with 20k miles ? If it is, ill be inclined to go with GM lol

I've already rebuilt the entire engine. Five years and 20k miles ago. I played the "while your in there" game. Recently I've chased my tail trying to fix a misfire with lean code #25. Bit the bullet and took it to a good mechanic for the first time. Compression in #3 was 70 while the other 5...

mine had a clunk in sway bar bushing. grab sway bar and yank around on it and if you hear any metal get new bushings.
