Vibration (feel)not really a noise but yes have used broom handles and screwdrivers to the same effect over the years.

Thank you

Bump to the top, if this is in the wrong forum can a moderator please move it. Thanks, Kevin

Bump to the top. Is this in the wrong forum and if so can a moderator move it for me please. Thanks, Kevin

Good morning folks, Long read but trying to provide all the info I can. I'm dealing with an 04 4.0 2wd 4Runner with 410k on the clock. 3 or 4 years ago I did the head gaskets including resurfacing the heads and a complete Toyota timing chain set up, had a P0012 that ya'll helped me work out...

SO what you're saying is that it is theorically possible. :) I know little about the valve but was thinking if it opened in such a way to release/dump the oil it MIGHT be possible. Right after it happened, I did pull the sending unit and clean the tip good and have not seen it since and again it...

Thank you for the definitions, muscle cars have none of the above. :) Any chance it could have caused the oil light to flicker a time or 2?

I believe it may have been what caused my oil light to flash once after the first 60 miles of driving as well, I'd love someone to clarify if that is even possible. I'll ask in another thread if no one responds on this one.

The camshaft position sensor is mounted through the timing cover and is an inductive pick up that reads the exciter (the 3 pointed star) on the intake cam gear hub. The variable timing sensor, I should have called a solenoid and is mounted in the head a few inches from the front and controls the...

It's 04 with 355k+, in my thread I posted the conclusion. It ended up being a bad brand new variable timing sensor, the diag tree I used had sensor as the last choice and of course I assumed camshaft position sensor but my son mentioned the timing sensor would cause it. I walked through the diag...

Just to close this out, since it irritates me when people to post the solution to their question, I was questioning all this due to a P0012 code as mentioned at the start of the thread. The diag trees I ran across started with low oil, I checked it again but since I changed it after the work, I...

I started my own thread for my questions but I'll supply the answer for anyone that runs across this thread. The answer was 2 revolution as I am use to for the engine to end up back where you started, however it can take 20-30 revolutions to get the painted links to line back up. The set up can...

Thank you, that has been my experience as well. Every other engine I've ever played with I just used the marks and gave it no thought, the painted links although were incredible for the set it, threw me for a loop on the double checking. Eat too much today so I'll play with it tomorrow. Happy...

After doing some more research in the tutorial section, I may want to clarify one point of my question. When I am referring to the marks lining up, I am talking about the about the painted links, I thought they were a great idea for set up and I am trying to get them back in sync so I am at a...

I recently did the chain on my 04 V6 with all Toyota parts and it runs fine but throws a P0012 code on close inspection I think I may have my cam chain on the passenger head one tooth off. My challenge is I can't get the marks to line back up so I can check the cam chains. The primary seems to...
