Can I replace just the rubber gasket out the old oil pump
Oil pump bearing is ok no play
How would you change the timing belt on a eclipse 2002 Spyder GT
噢哦
Uuuuuh I'm pretty sure if you rotate the timing belt with the tensioner pulley NOT applying tension, the belt will slip and you will no longer be in sync with the crank arm... BAD
This is what I like about these guys: no camera shaking, no personal family comments and just straight to the problem fix. Thanks 1A.
Great video. Don't forget to install timing belt retaining washer between crankshaft sprocket and harmonic balancer. I noticed he forgot to install it in this video. If you forget this, the harmonic balancer will sit too far back and the serpentine belt will not line up on pulleys correctly.
Nice catch I noticed it too, 24:15. 👍
You guys skipped all the cursing and swearing when getting to those hard to reach bolts lol
and losing a 10mm
Seriously dude, those two dogbone bolt were killer. Extended milwauke 3/8 ratchet would have came in clutch. I only had the standard one.
@@jakobgrey breaker bar did the job for me just took forever to get them off 😂
Hahaha no kidding
@@jakobgrey I have the half inch Milwaukee impact. About to start this job I just took the lug nuts off on setting one 1 I can't wait to see what else thing can do
Few things to add to this great video: Torque crankshaft pulley bolt to 80 ft-lbs and also camshaft sprocket bolt to 40 ft-lbs with aid of a pulley holder in case of replacing camshaft seal. Highly recommended to replace both seals and also oil pump seal, o-ring and gasket during this effort.
Replace oil pump as well ya think?
I heard these engines are non interference so if the timing belt breaks, you won’t move on the road but the engine is still safe.
I appreciate the fact that there's no unnecessary talking such as joking,profanity, drama,etc.Hes all business.
Well the one thing I definitely learned from this video was that I don't want to do this repair anymore 😂😒
You aint lying lol
I feel the pain on this. might just bite the bullet and get a pro for it.
Liam Darden I did $550 not bad
after about 15 minutes into the video, I decided to pass
Same, only saving $200ish doing myself but this is such a pain in the ass and hard to get to that I'd rather pay the extra cost for someone else to take 3-4 hours doing it lol. Generally I enjoy fixing things myself but this is one of the more annoying things that could really bite you in the ass later if it isn't perfect
These guys make one of the best DIY videos and that's why I always source their parts to show them my appreciation for their videos.
All who watch this please be aware that he did not install the timing belt retaining washer before installing the timing cover and harmonic balancer. Youll be sitting there wondering why things arent lining up until you read this and then youll need to get that puller back out.
Very Thorough video; by far the best video I have seen in terms of explanation and procedure. You guys are great.
You guys took the time to make a video, thank you
I am definitely ordering my parts from you because of this video.
Will be ordering the timing kit for 2000 Toyota Camry at this moment for the simple fact that you made this video. Thank you.

Great instructional video! Finished mine today and everything went well. Only thing I had troubles with was getting the harmonic balancer bolt off. Ended up putting a 1/2” ratchet up against the frame and quickly hit the key to start it. Bolt came off and everything went well. Thanks to this video for the successful job done!
Great video (I did this same procedure myself four years ago (2016) on my '95 w/345K miles on it and a broken belt, did complete kit w/all seals)!
However, you guys SHOULD have done this video to INCLUDE R/R of the crank main seal, oil pump shaft seal, oil pump cover seal and the camshaft seal. Replacing all seals every other belt change (especially the oil pump cover seal) is pretty much mandatory. Also, replacing the thermostat cover is not necessary unless it's cracked/damaged, a kit with the water pump w/o the t-stat cover saves money, labor and time!
Diving back in in a few minutes to finish tearing down my daughter's '97 Camry for a belt kit w/seals and w/p, her timing belt just broke at 190K (bought the car used last fall with 179K and unsure of belt status, was going to change it out next month (April) when warmer out. So much for best laid plans!) Just watched the video for a refresher for the memory.
+Husker65td Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
I agree, this is best time to replace the oil seals, as my newly acquired 99 Camry with 226k miles leak oil from this area. The previous owner said the timing belt was replaced, and now to replace the seals, one has to repeat all the labor once more.
If you’re not supposed to turn the harmonic balance how can you take off the bolt? Does the impact just spin too fast for it to move? Sorry if the questions dumb, I don’t have an impact and don’t wanna ruin my Camry😂
10/10, really great video. Appreciate you guys showing the reassembly as well; a lot of these fix videos will get the new part on and end it there, for how complicated this fix is, showing the reassembly goes a long way.
just finished replacing the timing belt on my 92 . i couldnt get the crank timing mark to line up exactly at 0. it wanted to kind of spring into place at the five degree mark and if i tried to go to zero it would jump way past it was feeling impossible to get it to zero and since it felt like it wanted to be at 5 ... i sent it. its running fine, thanks for the help.
Like most of the 1AAuto productions, this is a very well done video. Anyone can do this job if they are younger and have flexibility. I've done this job on three Camrys that I have owned. This car is nice and clean and they have a nice indoor shop an every tool required! It's a nasty job if you do not have a lift and if the car is actually driven in bad weather.
I flat out refuse to do this job ever again! When the timing belt finally snaps my car is going to the scrap heap to be reborn as a tuna can or Honda! In the year 2023 the dealer wants no less than ten hours at $127 USD PER HOUR to do that job! My American made POS Camry isn't worth that much! I will go buy another used Japanese built one to replace it. The American built models were trash heaps made with inferior Mexican products and this car was one of them. At 160K its totally done! My 1999 Japanese model went 360K and would still be on the road if not vandalized beyond repair.
NOTE: Use ONLY Toyota red coolant! NEVER EVER USE PRESTONE It will screw up the cooling system for certain! Ask me how I know! It has to do with the metallurgy of the engine versus the chemistry of Prestone products. You've been warned!
Also, the only way to truly bleed the cooling system is either with a pressure system or by raising the front end way up and letting the air burp out. Sometimes, it takes several tries to get it all out. There is a design flaw in the cooling system that creates an air pocket that takes a lot to overcome. The engine may need to idle for over an hour on the more persnickety cars. Been there! Done that! Bought the T-shirt! Got the scars! LOL
FWIW!

This is the absolute best video on replacing this timing belt. Wish he had done the oil pump seal and gasket. Thanks
Nice video, I have grown real skeptic of auto shops telling that they will replace parts, but put back the old stuff and charge for it !!. Great help for DYI projects.
+Guru H Thanks for watching. If any of our viewers needs to make this repair, we carry the auto repair part shown in this video on our website. Here is a link to them www.1aauto.com/toyota-timing-belt-kit-with-water-pump-gates-tckwp199/i/gaeek00001?RUclips&CTA+Comment&QLMP9AYGs
thank you team. I have half done and this video gave me a lot of peace with what's to come. I appreciate you guys
Incredible detailed repair , now I know why I took it to my mechanic for a timing belt change .
Great videos. Thank you. Please keep them coming, especially videos for part replacements on vehicles from the 80's and 90's.
+Will Bernd Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com
Three things:
1. Why is it so important NOT to turn the engine counterclockwise while setting the timing?
2. What is the significance behind the 1 & 7/8 turn before torquing the tensioner pulley?
3. The timing marks will will only align when rotating twice because cylinders 1 & 3 fire at the same time. And to correctly check if the timing is correct everything is aligned with TDC to #1 cylinder for the project. Correct? I ask all three questions because if it is a non interference engine, then what does any of the first two question subjects matter?
This guy's very smart. He did it exactly like I did it about three years ago. I have another Camry now and it's nice to have your memory refreshed. I want to change all the seals also.
My advice is, it's best to do everything. That means belt, idler, tensioner, water pump, camshaft seal, oil pump seals, and the crankshaft seal. Use good parts and do it right and you can go 100,000 miles and change on it. Nothing wrong with a timing belt system if you use good parts and install them correctly.
Unfortunately, whoever had my present Camry before me was the victim of an M.M. job and now I have to fix it right myself. "M.M." is an allusion to that iconic cartoon mouse. Nothing against cartoon mice, mind you. But when you do a quick and incomplete job, that's what it's called.
I have noticed that you do not mention the dust shield behind the harmonic balancer or the gaskets that SHOULD be applied to the back of the timing covers.
I made an error in my last comment. Apparently, the two holes in the arms of the harmonic balancer can be different sizes. Why? I don't know. I just had one that used M5 X 0.80 pitch threads and another with M6 X 1.00 pitch threads. I triple checked and they were indeed different even though the two identical 1999 Japanese built Camry LE cars were made only three weeks apart. Amazing! (すごい/Sugoi).
I love your videos! Whenever I want to try a car repair for my 1993 Camry Wagon, you guys come up first on the search list!
Excellent video. Have no idea how those mechanics do this in couple of hours, took me a few days. My 2000 V6 was a little different, need to fabricate a special tool to release the tension. Old belt and water pump look like it could go for another 100,000 miles. Bought OEM, don't need to do it again or chase the right parts.
what an awsome video .. my belt just broke on my 99 camry .. will tackle this myself i think .. good thing its a non interference engine .. thanks
Great video. How much should a mechanic charge to do this in 20023?
i just installed the timing belt on my 2001 Camry, Thanks to you. And RUclips.. 😎
I did a 1996 4 cylinder highly recommended couple things.
Change all oil seals or at least the one on the crankshaft and the camshaft if you can.
Before I remove the timing belt, I cleaned off the edge of the belt, where it meets the cam gear and the crank gear.
Using some brake clean wipe it off real good and then I took some paint fast drying fingernail polish paint in made two hash marks on the edge of the belt and on the crank in the cam gear so if I had to put it back together line it up I could use those jewel marks on each Gear to re- correct it.
And lastly it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to go to Harbor Freight and pick yourself up a oil seal install Kit of some kind in order to put them back in squarely so you don't beat him up when you put them in.
An extra $40 or so, and once you got it you got it forever!
Leakage is the most common failure of most automotive water pumps. The main reason for leakage is that the seal is not in place, so that the cooling fluid infiltrates into the bearing of the pump, which flushes the lubricant on the bearing, leading to bearing damage. Such leakage belongs to internal leakage. External leakage is also the main cause of pump damage, including aging caused by long-term use of engine seals and gaskets, internal leakage of heater, leakage of oil cooler and so on.
Great videos. Mine is a 6 cylinder '96 Camry. Will I basically see the same mechanicals/steps/procedures on mine? Thanks much!
+s. fitz Thank you for checking us out. Most of the steps in the procedure will be the same between a 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder, but there are a few differences because of the larger engine. 1aauto.com
After installing the timing belt and removing slack. Im noticing that the crankshaft pulley timing mark is aligned right. But the camshaft mark IS NOT IN ALIGNMENT. ITS CONSISTENLY FORWARD BY 2 inches or so...again this is when the harmonic balancer is at the zero mark. Is this okay?
Im referring to the 'camshaft gear'...the camshaft gear hole is past the camshaft vertical notch/camshaft seal area. ie. on every 2nd complete 360 degree turn of the crankshaft gear...the camshaft hole is at 1 o' clock versus the camshaft vertical mark which is 12 0'clock. I want to know can the car still run okay despite this?
I can tell that the camshaft marks are off because I made marks with white out before installing the belt. I have not tried to start the engine yet either.
To be honest the car already has 276,000 miles on it. And doesnt have a check engine light or any codes. I decided to replace the belt because It was very loose (yet fully intact. I know how bizarre right?) I bought a kit and changed the water pump, idler pulley, tensioner pulley (I think this was the main culprit, as the spring felt weird and the tensioner pulley had VERY limited movement. Im gearing the bearings inside the tensioner pulley were worn. I checked the records for the previous owner and the timing belt was last replaced at around 185,608 miles, oil pump seals, camshaft seal and crankshaft seals were replaced then too). Yes its toyotas 5sfe engine, If I can get the car to last me another 40,000 miles Ill be more than satfisfied
Can I rotate the camshaft gear counter clockwise about 45 degrees before the camshaft gear TDC#1 timing mark....rationale: so it COULD potentially line up correctly after I reinstall the belt and rotate the crankshaft a few times?
As another commenter said, now is a good time to replace the oil seals, as my newly acquired 99 Camry with 226k miles leaks oil from this area. The previous owner said the timing belt was replaced, and now to repair the seals, one has to repeat the same labor again.
Tony is a great choice to the repairs in the videos.
Got a question. Will a bad timing belt cause a misfire? I have a 2000 Camry with this motor that has a p0300 p0302 and p0303 codes. I’ve changed the plugs, wires, and the ignition coil for cylinders 2 and 3
Check your variable valve solenoids.
Good job love your videos and parts.I do have a oil leak in this area.the crank and cam seals were not done.Any special tools to do them and do you have the seals.
Great video and thanks for the informative instructions. Will be working on this project with my son on his 1997 Camry.
great informative video , but your forgot to mention before installing the lower cover to Make Sure To Install the Keyed Belt Guide Thin Washer Over The Crankshaft Hub-my opinion Very Essential Item!!
Is this applicable to all 5S-FE engines? 1980-2001 production.
I felt I was being sold, but soon fellt more trust. Well that was a sweet belt and pump repair. Parked the car, went to RUclips, 1A Auto, Changed into some better clothes and shoes, wrote all the tools needed. Parts list. Noting steps. Raided the refrigerator Got my fluids level up. And begin...... 37 minutes later...... Completed ....... Mission accomplished. I am done, saw THE WHOLE VIDEO, even a few silly commercials. Now like so many of you commenters. I Don't want to screw it up and now have acute 68+ mechanical anxiety. Should I spend even a lower $50x5 rate or hear worse. Sure if I take a full day. I can save maybe $300, but Its Nov 1 and shorter light hours can I be done in 1 day. Will I not break anything? I have done similar on Kia a year ago. I just hate crawling. This i as bad as choosing a tooth to loose. or filling in for a groom at a wedding and honeymoon, and I have seen the bride on the A1 repair video.
This video helps in discouraging people doing mechanic
So I was busy and the water pump replacement took a few separate days. I've misplaced a 12mm bolt on alternator bracket. Any idea what size that is supposed to be?
Swapping the TB and water pump this weekend on a Camry. Can the oil pump be accessed as well from doing this job without removing the oil pan?
Braden Conrad yes
If you do the whole assembly, you need to remove the pan...but you probably don't need to do the whole assemble, just the O ring(spaghetti) gasket and maybe the seal, if you don't have a new pump.
My 98 Camry 2.2L is due for a timing belt. Beginner mechanic here - I've only done oil changes, spark plugs, filters, and a valve cover gasket. Am I in over my head trying to do this on my own? Any advice is helpful. Thank you.
+marvarvelous Generally it is not difficult to install the timing chain. Good luck with your installation!
I noticed that the Camry in your video is gold in color , My 97 Camry is Blue . Is this gonna be an issue ,or will everything be the same ?
When tightening the crank pulley to the required torque, how do you keep the engine / crank from turning? Is there a special tool needed to hold the crank pulley still?
Use an impact. It will still slightly turn
pulley holder
did you show at which point you tourqued down the harmonic balancer? and how that was acomplished?
Hi,
PLease help !!!
My parents are old and they bought a car (2006 VW Touran 1.9TDI) and were advised to change the tensioners, belts and the water pump and immediately after the change, the car no longer idles smoothly, it has some ticks, but only when idling, from what my father told me.
I am thinking, the proble is only from these parts that were not used in the propper way with the propper tools, because will be too much of a coincidence to be something else right after these were changed.
Can be a belt too tight, or bad Water pump ( it is a HEPU pump) even if its new...?
Please HELP, what do you think?
With respect,
Gabe B.
I just got a 1999 Corolla with 48,000 original miles. It belonged to an elderly lady who lived across the street.
Should I replace the timing belt?
Excellent video! My only question is this: Are you supposed to use RTV gasket maker with this water pump? My water pump did not come with a gasket. I installed it without a gasket and now it is leaking. Thanks.
+intercomtken Hello, and thanks for watching! Water pumps do not require you to use RTV gasket maker. All water pumps should come with a gasket, that will keep it from leaking. If you look at this kit on our site you will see it comes with a gasket. www.1aauto.com/toyota-timing-belt-kit-with-water-pump-gates-tckwp199/i/gaeek00001?RUclips&CTA+Comment&QLMP9AYGs
Good job👍 but i do wanna know the reasons why dont we do as following 2 methods,
(1) why dont we remove the entire engine from the car ? That could be easy to replace timing belt.So y not?
(2) To do so (1) Isnt easy to lift /move.. off the engine from the car herself,is it?.
What i think we cant do that(1) bcz we have to connect many tubes on the car,its dufficult to do so, while replacing the belt,but timing can be made in properly by no problem.is that right?
Thank you so much.
What about the tensioner? I seen that it was pushed down to extend the spring and bolt was tightened. Now was the bolt loosened it can get tension on the belt?
Once the timing belt is routed and the tensioner pulley is applying tension is the timing belt suppose to have free play or should it be tight
+Jesse Thanks for checking us out!
A great video. He should have checked his timing Mark's again after using the impact wrench to remove the balancer.
I'm having a big problem with the timing marks , I had both marks aligned and done 2 times around and the 1 7/8 around then tightened the tensioner pulley ....when doing the next 2 revolutions the timing mark on the cam doesn't line up??? I've done this 4 times with the same results....PROBLEM SOLVED=I started over and lined up the timing marks and held the belt tight with the slack below the cam sprocket while releasing the tensioner and then i tightened the tensioner to specs....Heres what i discovered with this motor=2 revolutions the timing marks are correct.. 2 more revolutions the cam mark is a bit off...then 2 more revolutions and the timing marks are correct again!!!!
After installing the timing belt and removing slack. Im noticing that the crankshaft pulley timing mark is aligned right. But the camshaft mark IS NOT IN ALIGNMENT. ITS CONSISTENLY FORWARD BY 2 inches or so...again this is when the harmonic balancer is at the zero mark. Is this okay?

With all those oil leaks on this motor, hopefully they fixed those. That oil will contaminate the timing belt and cause it to fail prematurely.
Can you use this for the 3.0L V6?
Could be engine oil filter be removed for better access? Or is there a disadvantage to doing so?
How are you taking the bolt off of the harmonic balancer with out spinning it backwards?
Kit is out of stock....kind of disappointing. Haven't seen a kit elsewhere as complete as this one. I'll keep looking. Very good video, thanks for posting!
Question. When changing the oil pump is it necessary to change the whole housing. When I search for oil pump my results come back with the whole housing. Which includes the water pump, pulleys, gaskets, and timing belt.
+Adoniyah אֲדֹנִיָּה Matah Yahawadah Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
good video you made it look so easy but when you do this all the time its second nature good job
+scottymizzo415 Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
It would be great if you gave the price for the kit
I realize that as time goes on that number will change
Ball park figure is good enough for us diy guys to determine wether or not it is worth the effort on what looks like a pretty involved job
Thanks for the videos you create
I have done most of my own maintenance work and I really appreciate your well done videos
You take 99% of the guess work out of the job
I don’t want to say it’s fun but it is much more enjoyable having a video to reference back to
Thanks again

What happens when you happen to turn it counter clockwise? Also after hammering my new harmonic balancer on I put on the belt and starting lining up the timing marks and now my crank won’t turn more than one rotation. It’s just the crank because I took off the belt and turned manually but still only about 380 degrees of rotation.
How did you remove the harmonic balancer bolt without spinning the motor backwards?
You can put a breaker bar on the harmonic balancer bolt and brace it against the frame and use the key to turn the engine over quickly. Scotty Kilmer did this in one of his videos, and I tried it on my 99 camry, and it worked like a charm. Keep in mind, you don't want to start the engine, just turn the key for a moment to break the bolt loose.
Asked my mechanic if I could do this myself and he started laughing.
James Vegan not that bad of a job. Just follow the instructions and make sure you have all the tools.
Depends if you have will power or not. Lol
Well he knew the answer already just from you asking him
@@EastMenloPark1650 It's an AWFUL job if you are not used to doing things like this.
@@spaceghost8995 I remember that cartoon one of best
A client called me to check is Toyota Camry 2000 model with a 5sfe engine which always have a broken timing belt about 4 days after replacement. When I examined the car the only thing I saw that seems to be faulty was that the belt was weak, not really tensioned. The engineers have replaced the timing belt adjuster but to no prevail, the belt keeps cutting off.
There was no oil on the belt that could be responsible for that.
Please help me, what could be causing the belt to cut frequently?
Will this process be the same for 89 camry 2 liter? It looks the same.
Good clip. Was that a 6 cylinder ?
Hi, while trying to remove harmonic puley bolt, the engine turned counterclockwise, i heard you mentionned in the video to make sure you don't turned the engine counterclockwise, now i'm a little scared, have i did something that could damage the engine, thanks in advance for your time
Only when you are setting the timing always turn the engine clockwise.
Removing cooling expansion tank makes the job easier.
To remove pump assembly (with cover) from the engine only 3 bolts needed to be removed
+mkrp4 Thank you for checking us out, as well as the advice. This will certainly assist other viewers complete the replacement in a timely fashion. 1aauto.com
what is the cooling expansion tank?
Forgive Repent connected to the radiator. It holds coolant in addition to the radiator. I guess the coolant can expand and if so it goes into the tank in case. And it holds extra.:d
7/8of a turn designated by long black mark on center of timing cover? Not sure which mark he’s specifying, or is it a mark he made.
I recommend breaking the crankshaft pulley bolt loose then sung it back up before removing the belts... i removed the outer belts with nothing holding the pulley, and could not break the bolt loose with rotating the crank backwards...
Great educational video, great job I'll be having a go at my 99 Toyota Camry see how I go
How did it go?
So, just to be clear if the timing belt is broken already and needs to be replaced along with water pump. I need to put the belt on first before realigning the timing otherwise damage may occur if no belt is on? The reason I ask this is because I read that turning the crankshaft without the belt could mess over the engine. Please confirm, thanks
the engine is non-interference, so having the belt off won't damage the engine.
but I'd personally just realign timing after you've got the belt on since that makes the most sense lol
🤔Question??? How long is the tensioner bolt supposed to be? The one I have is 42mm in length.
When bleeding the cooling system, can you just put the radiator cap back on and let it bleed into the reservoir?
Thanks for posting the video, guys. The Haynes for the Camry is terrible, but your video explained everything.
Just pour coolant through the radiator when the water pump suck up the cooolant add more
How many approximate turns do you loosen the tensioner pulley against the belt? Thank you mister or gal~~~
I have a question. I have a 2011 Hyundai i30 Auto, and I want to change the timing belt myself. How can I keep the crankshaft in place while I untighten the crankshaft bolt?
My knowledge is, if I want to undo the bolt, I have to turn it counter-clockwise, but I want to avoid turning the crankshaft counter-clockwise.
+C J At this time, we do not have a video for the install you are inquiring about for your vehicle. Please try searching further on RUclips. Thanks for checking us out!
Has anyone noticed that most DIY's 1Aauto videos are usually 4 cylinders?
Because 6 cylinders are way more difficult and time consuming.
Kelvin David they have a video doing the timing belt on Honda Pilot 2005 and its 6 cylinders
Around about 14:25 I stopped and went to look at my chase account balance... I have replaced my starter before so I considered replacing the water pump... Smh yeah... No... Chase says that I can afford to pay a professional to handle this one😂so I will happily hand over that few hundred dollars to replace this wp and timing belts. I dont have the patience... But I DO appreciate this video. Its very informative and at least I know what Im paying for. The mechanic quoted me 250.00 and I think thats fair.
+I AM Thanks for checking us out, glad we could at least give you an idea of what this repair would entail! 1aauto.com
What if the bottom notch lines up but the top doesn't? I assume I just need to remove the belt spin the top pulley clockwise till it lines up.... is that right?
Because the 5sfe engine is a non-interference meaning the valves and pistons can never touch even when out of time, then yes.
I was told, and have never used an outside-jaw puller on the harmonic balancer due to the likelihood of damaging it. There are 2 threaded holes for the proper puller type to connect to without causing any damage.
If it's really stuck you would be correct, that it is a gamble. As you see he did not even need anything but his fingers on that one, so no harm, no foul. I've done 2 of these used the 2 jaw both times. One very easy the other not so easy but all went well. Those bolt holes you mentioned are very small. The threads were missing on one of mine. You could probably take a piece of stock metal and drill 2 holes for the bolts, insert balancer bolt and leave some space. Then use 2 longish bolts and tighten down to pull it off..but the bolt holes are small..5mm or smaller, I think.
I also injected a little PB blaster around the shaft the 2nd time..so there is that to consider too.
If the marks don't line up after turning the engine 2 revolutions, will it hurt anything to move the pulleys independently? I took off the belt before lining up the marks.
No just make sure u rotate it till #1 piston is up on compression stroke then rotate to cam is in the correct location boom its in time
Those two holes in the pulley are for M6 x 1.25 thread pitch. A normal harmonic pulley removal tool will work if you get bolts with those threads. It is also possible to run a tap through the existing holes and create threads with a more common pitch.
+O Darn Thanks for the tip!
all cars I work on, I put a bit of grease on all bolts, on the pulleys, and on the cv-axle schlitzes. No water, no rust, easy to remove, and easy to tighten. On a couple occasions I used these two holes to fix the harmonic balancer in order to loosen the big nut. However, these are 6 mm, and very deep. If I need to, I shall drill to 7.2 mm and re-tap it to 8x1.25.
At 8:48 you say not to rotate the harmonic balancer backwards. I did that by mistake. How bad did I mess up?
Does it matter how much twisting I do with the timing belt pully? Does it automatically time?
excellent video from a true professional
I need more information how I do setup the time for the motor please, we appreciate your help, thank you
What was the torque specs on the harmonic balancer bolt?
do i need to prime the pump before running it?
Well it took me a lot longer than 37:11 minutes! lol! Great video!!!!
Thanks guys for the video, great camera work and commentary,it made the job so much easier!!
You skipped the re-tightening of the harmonic balancer what was the torque value?
I justvwant say thank you for this video it help a lot when I replaced my timing belt it saved a lot of money thank you guys are best
