How to install the No. 2 cylinder head gasket on 2009 Toyota Tundra?

Question

Accepted Answer

The installation process for the No. 2 cylinder head gasket on 1GR-FE engine starts with removing FIPG packing followed by a check that engine oil does not reach the cylinder block and cylinder head contact surfaces. Place the new gasket on the cylinder block with the front face of the Lot No. stamp facing upward within 3 minutes of applying Toyota Genuine Seal Packing Black, Three Bond 1207B or equivalent to the new gasket while keeping the seal diameter between 2.5 to 3.0 mm (0.0984 to 0.118 in.) and refraining from engine oil during the following 2 hours post-installation. Install the cylinder head sub-assembly LH with caution because damaging the installed components can occur when the camshaft exceeds a level position. After the sub-assembly installation, proceed with the No. 3 and No. 4 camshafts using standard installation procedures. Proceed to adjust the crankshaft position by adding the crankshaft pulley set bolt and guiding the crankshaft until the set key settles in its left horizontal alignment. Before placing the camshafts on the cylinder head use a thin layer of engine oil to lubricate the thrust portions and journals. Arrange the camshafts with the No. 2 cylinder cam lobes at the outer front edge. The 16 bearing cap bolts should receive light engine oil prior to their installation by precise steps until reaching torques set to 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf) when the heads are 10 mm or 24 Nm (245 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf) when the heads are 12 mm. The engine installation requires sequential placement of the components which include the No. 3 chain tensioner assembly, camshaft timing gears, No. 2 chain and additional components until the completion of the water inlet housing and oil cooler hoses installation. The mechanical work requires assembly of the oil pan sub-assembly, oil strainer sub-assembly and No. 2 oil pan sub-assembly then installation of the crankshaft pulley, No. 1 idler pulley sub-assembly and No. 2 idler pulley sub-assembly. The last step involves installing the RH and LH cylinder head cover sub-assemblies together with the engine oil level dipstick guide along with the V-ribbed belt tensioner assembly then adding the rear water by-pass joint followed by the heater water pipe sub-assembly with final connection to the oil control valve filter before adding the heater water pipe sub-assembly. Afterward the procedure requires vehicle installation for combined components consisting of the VVT sensor, spark plug, ignition coil assembly and engine assembly along with the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly.
