Lexus ES350 / Toyota Camry 2GR-FE V6 Engine Removal and Replacement

Has your Toyota 3.5L V6 Engine failed and you want to learn what it takes to swap it yourself at home? Well in today's video, I'm going to show how to replace an engine on a Lexus ES350 or Toyota Camry by yourself with an engine hoist, without dropping the subframe. The engine in this vehicle likely skipped timing and caused the valves and pistons to collide. Bent valves will cause a loss of compression and require an engine rebuild. In this video, the engine was swapped out for another used engine with similar mileage sourced from LKQ . Key items for an engine replacement include the removal of the axle, suspension, exhaust, flex plate bolts and bell housing bolts from underneath. Inside the engine bay, all the wires and hoses are disconnected, air box, battery tray, radiator and engine mounts removed. A Toyota 2GR 3.5L engine (with the transaxle assembly) can be lifted out the top of the engine bay in the sedans, but may not clear the windshield cowl in the Sienna, Highlander, Venza, RAV4 or Lexus RX350. Here's the engine teardown video aftermath. Hint: The VVT gear bolts broke off, causing the engine to skip time and mess up the valves in the head.    • Why this Toyota 2GR Engine Failed   This car was a 2007 Lexus ES350 with 213,000km on it. It started and ran very very poorly as it was only working on the front three cylinders.
