smoking from engine / oil loss - Page 3

Green7mgte · 08-06-2010, 02:57 AM

well i purchased a new cam positioning sensor packing and 0 ring from toyota.
waiting on the arrival of my accordion hose so i can replace that at the same time

side note
Cre as i went back and read the snake oil thread it looked like my post was promoting it. naw, big shocker he had some other sort of malfunction. just surprised it held as long.. just like stop leak for the rad. yea it seals up the leak.. along with abunch of other crap.
I do not promote nor use any sort of "magic fix" additive. nor should any of you.. I do however keep a can of fix a flat in my hatch just in case..

acouple other concerns is removing the cps. I never attempted to do a timing job before and not exactly sure on the procedure. the main front and rear oil seals probably need changed over also. but I cant really see any other external leaks but will go over the possibility of those. Hoping its not one of the oil hoses in the back of the engine. those arent ezily replaced.

I was going to say "wtf?".

The heater/bypass hoses possibly, how could they be mistaken for oil though?

Anyway just a point on the cps alignment, as it's already known correct & the only reason for removal is the o-ring it can be better for peace of mind to first-: mark the position of the CPS body relative to the head & secondly to remove the 3 screws and the black CPS lid & note/retain the position of the trigger wheel in relation to the sensors inside. Even one tooth out would be obvious this way.

naw i know those hoses. changed them myself.
I heard mention to something in back lower half of the engine. didn't really know anything else about it.

And neither did the person who was talking...

Don't worry, I assure you the rear oil hoses are just as they were meant to be.

my accordion hose came in today.. smells wierd. mmm molded plastic.
i have an abscessed tooth so im in a large amount of pain atm. pills help so does my antibiotic but will start work on the cps Monday.

I was waiting for my new elbow to meter hose to come in because you may recall it crumbled in my hands when i removed it to fix the 90 degree hose. some silicone and electrical tape later I got it sealed and in place. But wasn't taking that thing off again till my new one arrived..
so heres to it..

any more information about removing the cps. do i or don't I have to get TDC? or is it just a matter of marking it were it is in position atm.
thanks again.

I'd assume you could mark it and leave it as is, provided the crankshaft/camshaft doesn't move at all. If it were me, I'd just put it to TDC so that if it DOES move, it's no big deal

If you're not working on anything else just marking it is fine.... Just make sure the mark is CLEAR and won't rub off!
