[shoaibmallick]

[Xulfiqar]

this one has the 4 spd auto. btw - this engine never was bolted to any 3 spd autos. which camry do you own?

[shoaibmallick]

lol i am not sure then it must be 4 this is my car the previous owner ruined it he just kept the engine and transmission ok but he swapped the bonut with the saudi camry that is why the grill is different and also he had taken out the clockspring and said the mechanic threw it away it was a big pain because new clockspring was expensive and my father was not sure that it would work after installing a new one we went to junkyard after searching nearly 40 scrap dealers we found 1 camry le Alhumdullilah he gave the clockspring at a cheap price we installed it and the cruise worked now the car just requires a paint job the engine and trans is smooth Masha Allah its specially a good one for me because before i used to drive a 2e engine corolla thanks to Allah for everything.

One question regarding the drill and tap. .

Why the need to drill? Plus how can you hold the drill steady..

And what is the best way to identify the kind of tap (thread) needed?

I needed to completely wipe out the old threads (hence drill) - the drill is held steady in the jig that you see - its centered from the alignment pin in the stripped hole and held steady from the headbolt and spacer in the other good neighboring hole. The total length of the pilot then becomes quite long and the drill steadies itself - lots of tapping oil and slow rpm on the drill cuts the threads like butter (they are soft aluminium threads)

the drill is a 17/32
the threads I cut are 5/8 coarse
the insert has these threads on the outer side while the inside has the original metric m11x1.5 threads - so you can use the original head bolts - the inserts are long and engage twice the threads on the head bolt.

Can we easily convert our Toyota Corolla 1981-1982 into an All Wheel Drive Vehicle with a new 2.0D or 2.5D engine with manual or automatic transmission?

Please elaborate in details with option from doing it through Indus Motors Company.

[Proverbial_Slang]

thanks.

I wish I had someone to take pictures while I work - because when Im working I dont like to get distracted with cameras - I lose the rhythm

Beautifully done! and I agree with you on the camera thing. I haven't posted many DIYs just because of this reason. However, my DIYs have never been on this level I am a mere Gearhead who likes to do stuff with their own hands every once in a while.

Thanks for some inspiration

thats a better idea - I was thinking of a parrot type setup where I mount the camera on my shoulder

There are already several types of cameras fitted on helmets, wristwatches etc available for both photos and videos. They will make your life easier.

Aoa @Xulfiqar bro need your help and advice.
Bought camry 2005 2 months back .
Initally there was no problem with the vehicle but one week after the purchase I open the radiator cap to check water in it and I found it milky[seems oil and water mixture] and when I purchased it obviously it was washed or I dont know but it was clean. I went to nearby workshops they told me the engine has been reworked and now u will face no problem this is probably because some of the milky mixture was left in the radiator. I drove it further for 1.5 months. Everything was running fine until 4 days back it starts to overheat. I stopped the car for 5 mins check the heat guage fans of radiator are working. Took it to workshop topped the radiator with water. I guess only one glass of water was poured in total. The car is normal drove it for 50 kms no sign of overheating.
After 2 days this happens again this time radiator demands water and when it is filled then no overheating happens. Today again the water was short filled it up and drove 100 kms without it overheating.
Workshops boys are saying its head has been reworked already and u have very less days. Change the engine asap. Its 2 azfe.

Previously I had driven a same model camry for 3 years and it was a official vehicle and it had 4 lac kms on it and it seemed like it will go on forever. However in my case I guess I am not so lucky. Your help would be appreciated because it's my first vehicle and worked very hard to buy a ride but I guess my first purchased has turned into a nightmare. They are saying new engine is like 3 lacs. Read all the international forums and they say this engine is a nightmare. Head bolts issue oil consumption etc.

[Xulfiqar]

The 2005 model may still have the old style block which is prone to this issue, (this thread) - once this issue is solved the engine will run for an eternity. Its quite a nice engine.

The 3 middle headbolts on the intake side of the engine strip out and the engine loses coolant and overheats.

This repair is 100% successful and I have gone over 200,000 kms with this repair and the engine has been running flawlessly.

Do you have a good mechanic that can also do machine work on the block?

[pwuser162457705760]

Bro I am from lahore as of today all are telling me just to change the engine.

[helper_learner]

You should visit @syncview, he is there. And do tell he about the @Xulfiqar sir's post.

[Xulfiqar]

If you change this engine, there is a 90% chance you will get a faulty engine again.

The later 2az dont have this fault but have bad pistons and rings from the factory, so unless you find an updated engine you are gambling with your money.

When repairing it, do not face the head by an mm or so you will end up with a timing tdc error that cannot be cleared.

[pwuser162457705760]

@helper_learner i will visit him today in sh Allah.
@Xulfiqar bro u mean if i get the 6 gen camry engine from 2006 to 2009 then this issue is solved but oil consumption issue is there.
Well I will try to repair this one first and I have no knowledge of the timing tdc error. I HOPE @syncview knows it.
