In this video I use a "Time-Sert" Part # 2200 Kit Approved by Toyota / Scion for cylinder head bolt repair, to repair a 2004 Rav4 with stripped out head bolts. Please refer to your shop manual for the proper repair.

Never A easy job .till it's done 🍺
Another great video as always Eric. Love watching all the "special " repairs and trouble shooting you do.
The dowel is only there for location purposes, and has no other job, so as long as it mats up with the head, and the gasket, you are good to go.
loctite on threads. My question: loctite site says temp range okay up to 300°F, and to remove with hand tools, heat up to 450°F. So, how much does the loctite actually help hold the inserts in place in the hot engine block???
Having a loving family makes work worthwhile. It’s great to see a dad who truly enjoys his family as well as his work.
nice videos you make i like too watch them greetings from the Nederlands
If it is an 04 Rab4 you would think it would be cheaper to throw a junk yard engine or just junk the Car. I'm sure with the price of the strip down, the tapping and rebuild would come to more than the value of the Car. I get your nerves and I thank you for releasing this warts and all. Great video Mr O.
Pretty good video, So what's the case with the dowl pin How are we supposed to get that back in
Someone on eBay, is offering a replacement bolt set that requires no drilling or tapping to fix the problem. Not until I see the video.
I hear ur phone ringing all the time I'm at work and the telamarters call aii the time stop what I'm doing then hang up dern that makes me mad
I've seen building houses for 40 years if some body told me some crap like that I d tell him I built more houses in my sleep go freak ur self to love ur shows
Don't worries some jerk that doesn't no how to fix sh.. ur an ace and a professional do it thewayu no how
duuuuude clean those shavings with a magnet
WTF 720p
Little tip: in addition to putting oil in the hole, put some on the bit also to keep the whole bit oiled up
Love these videos.
The issue is something called metallurgy. Same issue the Cadillac Northstar v8s had. A fine thread bolt torqued into soft metal. Then the dealer insists that 1 qt oil consumption in 800 miles is normal.
It was only when customers with 70,000 miles and the extended warranty escalated to Toyota North America that Toyota started to address the issue. An otherwise good car with a pos engine.
The head bolts fail because of the lack of amount of Threads used and The hot and Cold cycles from the head makes the Head Bolts Brittle Eric O @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
Nice work thank you!
Eric I love your videos. You might be able to remove those hollow dowel pins by filling the cavity in the dowel pin hole with grease (it can be melted). Then with a punch or bolt that just fits inside the dowel pin drive the pin into the grease and the hydraulic action should move the pin. Hope this helps I’ve used it on pilot bearings etc. and it works well.
Many Blessings to you all,
David
My experience with drilling into blocks is drill until you hit water. Then go home.
A fine job then as now. Heavy on info and personality. I’m not sure that there is any better channel day in , day out on YouTube. Others do some, you do all.
Wouldn't you be better to vacuum the waste metal rather than blowing it all over the car ,you never know where it goes into and damages .
a h00ker can do a head job, too
I remember a recall while working at a chevy dealership in the 80's Wrong type of headbolts broke or streatchedwhich caused head gasket to blow or warped heads….Had to do a few even though I was the shops only alignment tech…..I didn't stay on that job long even if they did sponsor my late model stock. That red loctite is almost as good as sleeve retainer loctite.
What size tool fits head bolt
I’ve got a 2006 Camry with the 2AZFE engine, which is the same as the rav4. I hope this never happens to it.
What I’d like to know is what causes these bolts to strip? They naturally strip themselves out due to pressure?
On a 4.2 inline g m engine, you will break 11 of the 14 head bolts. That is a job. The kit to repair it is somewhere around 6 to 8 hundred dollars if i remember correctly. I turned the job down.
Kind of a random question Eric. If you need that special tool to complete that job do you usually charge that to the customer the price of the tool. Or let it eat into your profit from that repair job? Kind of a weird one. Yea you’re the mechanic and need the tool but it wasn’t your fault that the bolts stripped. That was bad design or because of heat cycles or what have you
I think I missed something cause I can't find the video of the head removal
That air drill is crap, way to fast. No control.
It's cheaper to fix it than buy a new car. Duh.
Terrific,loved it .
Try to keep that brake parts cleaner off your skin, it's called "routes of ingestion",
Skin is one.
"T" handled tap wrenches are handy, smaller swing and better feel.
In the trade they call the straight ones "tap breaker" wrenches.
A nerve wrecking job indeed. Great job.
For your kids indoor BB gun target just a piece of paper or a standard size cardboard and an old pillow that's all you need I like watching a show take care
AWD Rav 4 can go thru some mud.
I'd have thrown a second hand engine into it!
You don't have to tell me twice to use brake cleaner
Haha Eric, “kindof spendy, but…the box”
I had a guy come to my shop. He had over heated his honda so he wanted me to put new rings bearings and head gasket. I got it all done and went to put the heat on, and it had been so hot it annealed the block so bad it stripped ALL the head bolts. I Heli coiled all the bolt holes. What a fun day that was.
Eric, when I did this I used a shop vac while drilling and that sucked up the loose chips as I drilled and evacuated debris in hole, just a tip, I am not in your league, great videos, THX.
Just a thought: the air drill might not be the best tool for this job because it is high speed and the larger the bit the lower the rpm for optimal drilling. Think of the speed/pulley chart on a drill press. A variable speed electric drill might be a better option. Are there any machinists out there who can speak to the subject?
2az-fe = 2zz-fe backwards. Same engine that is in the 2003-2008 corolla. The 2003-2004 versions had bad piston rings. Change them to stop the oil burning issue. It is a known issue with these engines
The Rav4 are manufactured up here in Woodstock Ontario Canada. I work in the south plant that builds the RX 350 Lexus SUV
Wow quite tecky for sure NICE JOB 1000 POINTS
I would have put a used engine in.
