Cam Housing Front

Cam Housing Side

Got new 5MGE cam shaft housings sent from the states. After cleaning them up with oven cleaner and degreaser they are now 90% clean. My previous ones and the cams in them had been deeply scored by grit and could possibly have seized if they were reused.

Assembly – Timing Cover and Oil Pan

mz12gt — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 01:18:15 +0000

Front Timing Cover Attached

On the 3rd attempt I managed to install the front timing cover with new oil seals. Using the FEL-PRO TCS455181 Kit and 7MGE crankshaft oil seal. I used Hylomar on the gaskets. It’s fiddly stuff but is supposed to work well.

Oil Pan Installed

Installed the new oil-pan I had got from Toyota Part in MI, using the Toyota Black FIPG sealant. Here is hoping it keeps the oil in.

Assembly – Timing Cover

Timing Cover

Cleaned Timing Cover with new water pump, seals and hardware. To installed this weekend hopefully without over-torquing the gasket this time.
