Timing Chain Cover and Seal

2RZ-FE and 3RZ-FE Engines

This is a difficult and lengthy procedure requiring removal of many components including the front differential assembly and the cylinder head. This procedure can also be performed with the engine out of the vehicle, which may be an option, depending on the equipment and facilities available. If other heavy engine work is required (for example, a failed timing chain may have caused valve/piston damage) it may just be easier to remove the engine as an assembly and perform the work on a suitable engine stand.

The following procedure is based on Toyota's Tacoma in-frame procedure.

SEAL REPLACEMENT

Cover Removed

1. Unbolt the timing chain cover assembly. Be careful to loosen only the correct bolts.
2. Pry out the seal from the cover with a flat-bladed tool.
3. It is a good idea to remove the oil pump from the timing cover and replace the O-ring.

Fig. Remove the seal with a flat-blade tool and hammer

Fig. Install the seal using a proper sized driver

To install:

4. Clean and inspect the timing cover area. Install new gaskets around the dowel areas and pump spline.
5. Apply multi-purpose grease to the new oil seal lip.
6. Tap the seal into place with SST 0922350010/60010 or equivalent, and a hammer. Do this until the seal surface is flush with the cover edge.
7. Install the cover; tighten the bolts as specified for your engine.
8. If the oil pump was removed, install a new O-ring behind the pump prior to installation.

Cover Installed

1. Unbolt and remove the oil pump.
2. Using a knife, carefully cut off the oil seal lip. With a flat-bladed tool (with tape around it), pry the seal from the cover.

To install:

3. Apply multi-purpose grease to the new oil seal lip.
4. Tap the seal into place with SST 0922350010/60011 or equivalent seal driver, and a hammer. Do this until the seal surface is flush with the cover edge.
