MC_Bob Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Hi guys, Ive just pulled the motor (2JZGTE VVTI) to carry out some work, and mostly fix oil leaks that have plagued it since buying 5 years ago. I'll be doing valve cover and sump gasket, but theres so much on the engine its hard to trace. Ive seen front and rear crank seals are common places to leak? After pulling the trans there is wet on the rear seal, I assume this should be pretty much bone dry? I havent pulled front crank pulley yet to inspect the front of the engine. Im single turbo so that area is quite easy to check, and will be redoing the oil drain plumbing just to be sure. Any other reccomendations to do at the same time? Ill be doing the valve stem seals, so almost tempted to pull the head off..? All help appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Oil pump I would 100% do while the engine is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Small water pipes to the oil filter housing. 90 degree coolant pipe from the back of the head. Perhaps swap the engine brackets and mounts to the early/prefacelift type or fit new facelift mounts if yours are originals. Rear crank seal is probably worth it yes if weeping, front can be accessed with the engine in the car so optional, some say if it ain't broke don't fix it re these seals.

MC_Bob Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Thanks Guys, The water pipe, are you talking about the rubber ones I guess? Always a bit sceptical about those, theyre nigh on impossible to alter once fitted!! :o Motor mounts are vibratechnics and in good nick. I'll do rear seal and cam covers. I dont think there is any head gasket fault, as on inspection most of the oil is quite low down. Ive noticed the front crank pulley has a crack in the rubber, is that a failure point? Will be removing to inspect the front crank seal regardless but I know theyre not cheap either. Cambelt isn't old but will do whilst its off.

Swampy442 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 If the oil pressure is good Id personally leave the oil pump. Front and rear crank seals, cam cover gaskets and washers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
