SORRY FOR THE AUDIO, BLOWER ON FURNACE WAS ON ITS WAY OUT AND WAS LOUD :/
As promised here is the last and final part. Sorry it is a bit long I tried to chop it back as much as I could. Didn't realize how much I talked and rambled until I was editing it. Hope you enjoy it, don't forget to comment, like and subscribe 🙂
I used 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.

That would’ve been nerve wracking job, but as with everything you do, fantastic job. 👍👍
Your way past my talent level.
I'm years behind here but I loved this series of videos, warts and all. Great videos Mr O and job well done. Mind you I bet the strip and rebuild cost more than the value of the Car. My Brother has one of these, 18 years old and still running fine. Appreciate all the effort you put into doing these videos for us.
Ignore the haters, your providing great help to me, especially the electrical diagnostics
I didn't think much of Toyota Packing Sealant until I got my 2004 Avalon. I tried unsuccessfully 3-4 times to remove the oil pan to replace the oil pickup tube. I had all the bolts out, and I even bought the wedge pan removal tool JTC 1315 and I couldn't get enough clearance to drive it in. I had a mini hammer from Harbor Freight too. I finally took it to a mechanic and warned him that that Toyota sealant was a major pain to remove. He actually had to bend the oil pan to remove it and went to O'reilly's to buy a new pan. I think he felt guilty that he had to destroy the original pan but I totally understood because I contemplated running the engine with no bolts to see if I could blow the pan off the engine (that's stupid). I had provided him a new tube of the packing sealant and he really liked the JTC tool so much I ended up giving it to him. That sealant from Toyota is no joke, it sets up and becomes every elastic but firm. It's not like regular Permatex at all. It's like the black version of Spider-man's web shooter goo.
helpful video. Thanks
Chain company called tires Plus gets the asshole of the Year award as they stripped the oil plug put it in so tight I couldn't remove it with an impact wrench

L George,
Most onuseral for me to come to. I admire your approach an honestly being an Auto mechanic for a few decades I enjoyed your approach.
I totally agree on putting each components removed capscrews or bolts or nuts 🔩 in a container or With the components removed if there is room for laying them out separately.
And a big explicit ** * to the haters as you are a absolutely awesome mechanic and I know this as I have been one for around 40 years.
Remember what I said as you are absolutely awesome and ignore the haters or explicit ** * them and if you use these little asterisks as I did above that way they can only imagine what you may have said.

I avoid using a gasket with a stamped metal oil pan, if the factory didn't use a gasket. Because as you know the metal around the pan bolt holes tends to be pulled, and distorted up, leaving a "not flat surface", on the pan. It's difficult to get that oil pan surface flat and level, all the way around. Plus when you use a gasket, the potential for a leak includes not just the gap between the pan, and the engine block, but now with a gasket, the potential is between the gasket and the pan, as well as the gasket and the engine block. I also don't use brake clean, to clean the surfaces, beforehand, as some brake cleaners DO leave a residue, that the silicone doesn't bond well to. I use acetone, and white lint free paper cloths. You can start cleaning, a smooth surface, this way, that you've already wiped down with some other recommended cleaner, and then use the acetone and white towels, and you'll see that you're still pulling oil off of that smooth surface, that you thought was clean. Just keep doing this with acetone, until the white towels appear to be clean. Usually it'll take at least three times around, but I guarantee you, that pan will be sealed, when you then apply the silicone. I was an auto mechanic, for nearly ten years and then got licensed as an aircraft mechanic, and worked for Delta Airlines for 32 years. Not bragging, just giving you my bonafides. You become very familiar with technical specifications, and proper applications of chemicals along the way, as an aircraft mechanic. I've had conversations with engineers, and have submitted recommendations for technical document changes that have been accepted. A lot of it, is just experience. I'd like to hear from you, if you feel like replying. If I don't sound like a "no-it-all" by now.
I know this is an anal retentive thing. What a bout a helper cleaning the major parts (Head cover, intake manifold etc.) If the customer is paying big bucks for the job, seeing the things that were worked on cleaned up be an added sign of the care involved in the job.
Asian coolant; ah so.
Thats the problem with long ones the phone battery goes.

Hi Erica this is Mark I watch you all the time but I just thought I’d mention this on part five of your RAV4 replacement of the oil pan gasket on the engine and strip the studs out of the Cylinder Head I did notice while you were spraying the gasket and had the pain in your hand you spray the gasket on the BLOX side not on the Panda side don’t know if anybody else got that I just thought I’d throw it in there just to make your day while you’re laughing at me you do a great job thanks buddy bye
Great videos.
Last I checked, there is about 2,500 different models of cars on the American roadways. Been a mechanic and viewer for years, Eric is a pro automotive general practitioner. I learn something new in every video, these videos are invaluable to me.
I missed Mrs. O lunch!
Mrs. O doesn’t stand a chance against your moms jelly she just needs to give up and do her thing that she likes to do and be done with it something other than jelly. In my family it was Moms meatloaf my wife just doesn’t stand a chance.
I did notice that the "diaper" is supposed to have 3 of the stick-up parts and that one only has 2 so it's missing bits anyway.
So I just started watching all of your videos in order from oldest to newest. I tried finding that first hater comment, but I was way too late lol.
She Sounds Like She Running Smooth Great work Eric O glad to see everything is good at the end @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
I either use Zip Lock bags and write what the parts or bolts are Or I use Old Tupperware for Bolts and nuts and just label the containers I always Get the Hilshire Farm Lunchmeat and they come in Plastic Containers I keep for bolts and Wires and Stuff so I have things to remind me where things go cups are a great idea Eric O @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
THE ultra Black Or Ultra Grey Is Normal On the oil Pans On these Rav4's but the Felpro Oil pan Gaskets Work just fine If ya don't want to use the Form a Gasket Eric O @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
Would be nice to know the pinout of the solenoid to activate the pin to re-install the motor. The most important is to put the motor back in.
Iam an animal I put it on everything lmfaoo..
Eric this is from the future. Joe Biden is president!! LOL!!!!
Listen for Burping when adding antifreeze, Great tip
Stop worrying so much about the haters…. there not on social media with there asses exposed to everyone
You are the best I have seen
I love SMA videos just for the Zen.
I’ve this bookmarked for the day my 2006 Camry experiences this issue…. (Fingers crossed, only 130k km’s!)
uh.. i hope you still answer questions on old vids? what drop light is that? is it magnetic? where did you get it ? TIA
Looks like an expensive repair more than cars worth
I think you are one of the best mechanics I ever saw. I worked in a government fleet for 30 years, met a hundred mechanics, and not one in 10 has the mad skills you have. If you want my 2¢ , consider hiring on with a government fleet. Half the work and (usually) a lot higher pay. No panicking about getting your check that week, or layoffs when business is slow. No getting fired over a misunderstanding or somebody's stupid personal grudge – and some of them get pretty bad if the guy's petty, for instance,
One guy (Guy 1) I knew in a non-gov't shop, got mad at another mechanic. He felt the other guy (Guy 2) had taken the high paying work on somebody's vehicle and dumped the lower paying stuff on him, AKA something stupid and petty like that. So when Guy 2 was gone the next day, the first guy drilled a hole in guy 2's locked toolbox and threaded in a grease fitting. Then guy 1 attached the cimpressed air grease gun and zip tied the trigger closed. Guy 2 came in the next day, saw his tool box filled from inside out with several gallons of grease and just quit on the spot –
Wish they would show some of these video in high school in a class called life lessons. Kids need to understand what different professions do and the difficulties in running a business. Our kids need more practical information and experiences growing up.
Sorry about the problem with the master-hater! A master-h8ter is a master-b8ter. You are a super-dee-duper hero guy!
Just discovered you nice job explaining everything nice video to! Happy New Year!
If you can do it,I can view it,happy new year.
I am a firm believer in Sea Foam. Been using it for some forty years.
The black silicone toyota uses for the oil pan is some AWESOME stuff. My cousin used to use it on his oil pan for his race car. You take the bolts out and then the fun begins. You dont need oil pan bolts with that stuff on there.
If you don't have one get a Milwaukie fuel right angle grinder and some 3M Bristle lock discs to clean your surfaces. The discs are awesome and will not gouge your surfaces.
When you need more silicone than a booby doctor on a fryed egg job ???
Tiger Grip Gloves 👌🦾
The open intake is bothering me
The best thing that I can think of with the throttle body gasket having that thing on it. Maybe it actually has something to do with fluid dynamics. Like maybe volume going in breaking it up so there's not any kind of turbulence I don't know. Or maybe it's just like you say to prevent a large objects from going through the throttle body.
Why do they mount the engine the wrong way?
I can see it in the small front wheel slide cars, but, in an SUV they should be mounted traditionally, pulleys at the front and transmission at the rear!
Much easier to work on and service the plugs.
It also looks better…
