2013 Tundra 5.7 Tensioner Repair

Does anyone know how to get Factory Service Manual to complete a Driver's side Chain Tensioner replacement on my son's newly acquired Tundra. I am a competent mechanic in my pre-retired life but have not dug into a Tundra and need some assist just to make sure we're doing all the correct steps. Thanks

 

Try searching google for a link to the service manual. I had it on my old computer but lost it. Maybe someone here can post it.

 

Youtube wouldn't be my sole go to for a job as involved as the time chains but some of the videos look pretty solid on info.

 

I just barely got done with replacing the timing chains , tensioners, guides , hoses, seals etc on my 2007 5.7 tundra . Take lots of pictures , get some cardboard and layout all bolts as you are taking them off and based off what they go to . Each valve cover , water pump , etc . I paid 90ish dollars for a month of toyota tis . There is one floating around for a 2009 for free on the forum . It was well worth it for it . Lot of step by step on taking apart the motor and putting it back together. You can download anything you want , print , etc . That's what I did mostly for torque specs and such . Also do not rush doing this . Make sure to clean all loose debris before opening up the motor so shit doesn't fall into it . These are a few helpful videos.

Apollothetundra - thanks so much for info. Figured out TIS (haven't subscribed yet) - watched and took notes on DanSmallEngine You Tube earlier this week. SUPER HELPFUL!
If we're this deep into replacing tensioners, should we keep going to fix the notorious leaking cam towers? This is a newly acquired Tundra for our son. Hadn't planned on replacing timing chains because they aren't the culprit far as we can tell. 126K miles on truck.

 

I'd do as much preventive maintenance as you're wallet will allow

 

Next question - does anyone have any thoughts on differences between Gray RTV sealant vs. Toyota FIPG black sealant for the Cam Tower reseal and the Timing Chain Cover reseal? Toyota recommends FIPG but Haynes manual says use Gray RTV sealant.

 

If you have a Honda dealer near you grab a tube or 2 of Honda bond rtv. Great stuff and have used it for years even after no longer owning a Honda.

 

I would definitely use the black that's what I used on mine . I'd trust what toyota calls for . I'm sure the gray would work but not worth finding out if it doesn't. It sets up really fast so make sure you have everything ready . Make sure the oil pump that is located on the bottom of the timing cover lines up with crank shaft. Do a dry fit first to make sure it all goes together smooth . Then apply the black rtv and bolt it together. There is a bolt sequence when installing all the bolts . When I took it apart I labeled each bolt a , b etc . Make sure the surface on the block and timing cover is perfectly clean and free of oil . I fucked up on my first go with the rtv and it set up too fast before I was able to get it down all the way so I had to clean both surfaces back off .

 

There is one permaseal RTV that holds same specs as Toyota rtv. It’s what I used for this same job.
