Nutz About Bolts Prius Maintenance Videos

I guess wasn't tight enough. I used an impact. Loosened over a week. I drove two hours to visit family. Next day I went to weinerdogs at the drive thru I could smell oil burning. I had some trans leaking from seal but the smell is different. Pulled over and I see oil everywhere. Check oil on dipstick ok I have enough. I baby it home side streets. It was spraying oil from crankshaft seal. Pulley bolt I was able to remove with my hands. Now I marked the bolt and pulley hasn't moved. I never found the key. My uncle said the crankshaft might be no good. I used Loctite 660 let it sit for a couple days before reassembly. It's been almost 30k no issues. Im happy didnt happen two hours away from home.

Local-to-you dealership would be able to get it in too.

 

You are lucky to cought it in time. It should be fine now if you can tighten it right. Crankshaft seal are already renewed and the rest of the engine should be fine.
I won't worry if we have no wierd knocking or rattling sounds from VVTI, mai bearing, or lifter.
Respect for opening the timing cover. it is an expensive jo

 

The kit does come with the timing chain cover seal. Please kindly read the description of what is included to ‘nut’ get confused As for the valve steam seals, exhaust manifold gasket and EGR gaskets there is an option to add to the kit

Just doing our best to help the DIY’er get what is needed and not get stuck with unused parts
