Richplug 0 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Hi Guys and Girls I have a 2004 Yaris with the 1.0 1SZ-FE engine The timing chain was very loose and now has jumped therefore the engine is not starting (it jumped on turning off at idle) i have bought a new timing chain kit inc the VVT gear and on going to fit same I have come across the way over tight crankshaft bolt which whilst trying everything to loosen i have managed to round the head off ( stupid i know) and now need any suggestions on how to remove the damaged bolt, I dont have workshop access but was thinking of grinding the bolt head/washer off. Is this something someone has done and can advise me on? I know it is an old car but it has just been put through an MOT which cost £380 tyres etc so really dont want to scrap it if i can possibly help it. can anyone tell me if these engines are safe/ non interference(valves kissing pistons etc) engines as having invested MOT money and now a timing chain kit i don't want the expense of removing the head unless absolutely necessary. Awaiting suggestions Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
