I just bought a 2000 celica gts with 184000 miles and there is a humming form the front of the engine i thik its the timing chain that is loose i would like to know should i just change the tensioner or all related parts
The timing chain should not routinely need changing, but perhaps the tensioner does.
Try first to eliminate any other causes, like the bearings in the fan, drive belt idlers, or alternator. A useful tool is a long screwdriver which you can apply to the various areas while placing your ear to the top of it while the motor idles.
Be very careful to keep clear of moving parts like fan blades.
Testimonial: "i tried the screw driver and the pulleys are ok i'll just order the entire timing kit and replace the parts that are faulty toyota gave me a quote of 899.80 for the timing chain and all related parts. "

I had the same problem and I drilled out the rivets...it does work after giving it a little time. You will be able to drill all the way through the rivet and then pull it out. You'll have to order a new hinge or door and reinstall the rivets. Can go to Harbor Freight Tools and get a rivet tool with rivets if you don't have one. They're not expensive.

You don't have to change your timing chain.. Timing chain last forever... If you don't hear any noise coming out from you engine, that means : nothing to worry about it... You can only adjust timing chain if there's any noise on the engine... Otherwise, just drive and go for fun... I have 2004 Solara and 110,000 miles already.. still runs great!.. My mechanic told me if I hear any noise like a chain noise, I have to see him for adjustment... I hope this message helps you...

i paid a friend to do it because it's a lot of work! if you haven't already treid to or got it done just know that when my friend did it; it took him like 8 hours (he'd never done one on a celica, but had done them on american cars) so if your not familiar with it... not a good idea to do alone. I watched him do most, but i'm not the best to talk to about it.(plus i have a 2000GT) Some of the parts that i can remember that he took out to get to the clutch were the front driver's side tire, the axel on the same side, ....some other parts in there....and ALSO parts on top...the intake also had to be taken out just to have enough room to do the job. parts are cheap...just ask for a clutch kit at auto zone or whatever. around $150. another random tid bit that might help is make sure to tighten the engine mounts really good afterwards or else it will jump around in there when you turn it on and cut it off. buy gear oil before you start as well because you will need to put some in after the new clutch is in. i will need to put the car on a real lift... you need a lot of space underneath and on top to work. and most likely two people. well hope some of this helped.
