    A big thank you for this excellent "video service manual". Just finished helping a buddy do this on his '09 Gallant with 145K miles, and although it took us nearly 7 hours, everything went very smoothly thanks to your detailed instructions (we could have shaved 2 hrs off that if we had some powered impact tools and didn't have to replace the water pump, which was a royal PIA). We didn't remove the crank sprocket; instead, we gained enough clearance to slide off the secondary belt by removing the crank sensor (again, no impact tools to deal with that bolt). Biggest surprise? While the balance belt was indeed loose (like someone else mentioned), both it and the main timing belt looked like they could go another 60K miles without drama. They literally had almost no visible wear after 145K! Again, thanks for taking the time to create such a polished video!

      @@cookiecake8448 Last reply, as I'm not qualified to advise you on this -- just a shadetree mechanic who's done exactly ONE of these. That said, as this excellent video points out (did you watch, BTW??), the belt that gets loose and fails is the secondary (balance shaft) belt, NOT the primary. On this engine, one can't access that belt to check tension without tearing the engine apart, so there's no way to know its status otherwise.

    Excellent how to, you cover everything so well and I followed your steps and had no problems working on a 2008 Lancer. The original balance belt was a bit loose too, I guess its because its a manual tensioner for that one so it never takes up as the belt wears/stretches. Thanks again mate.

    What about the front balance shaft that is behind the oil pump? How you are sure that it's at the right position? Not sure only aligning to the oil pump wheel is enough.

    • @modsobsessed
      @modsobsessed  Год назад +3

      That's a good question. I forgot to mention it in the video as I really didn't move the gear. A easy way to tell if the front balance shaft is in the right position is when you align the oil pump gear to the timing mark, then slightly rotate it left or right the mark on the gear will move towards the timing mark on the engine. If the balance shaft is in the wrong position when you slightly rotate it left or right the mark on the gear will move away from the timing mark on the engine. Another way to tell if its in the right position is to use the sight hole in the front of the block. If you remove the bolt at the front of the engine there is a sight hole where you can put a screw driver in. If you line up the gear to the mark and put your screw driver in the hole and it goes most of the way in then it's in the right position, but if the screw driver stops short then its in the wrong position and you will have to rotate the gear one more time.
      I hope this helps and understandable. I have a spare 4g69 block in my garage and will try and get a video up to explain it visually then leave a link in the description of the video or edit in a link in the video.
      Appreciate the good question.

    • @ceckoslav
      @ceckoslav Год назад +1

      @@modsobsessed Yea, that's important one. I can tell you what happens if it's put the wrong way. My mechanic did it and I drove 10k km this way. There was noticeable vibrations and later on this lead to the front balance shaft bearing was out of its position, clogging the oil path which resulted in high oil pressure on oil pump, then the pump released that pressure by activating the valve inside (steel ball compressed by spring). In result the oil pressure bulb was blinking at idle, because pump reduced the oil pressure too much. To wrap up, one can seriously damage his engine if this balance shaft is not aligned properly.

      @modsobsessed  Год назад +1

      Not necessarily. If you're 100% confident that the timing marks are bang on. I crank it just to make sure the timing is right and that all the marks line up. Just easier to check before installing everything back on. Then dealing with it might being slightly off and having vibration, misfires or even valve damage if timing is really off.

    • @modsobsessed
      @modsobsessed  Год назад

      That is a good point. If you're paying someone to do your timing belt I would say get the water pump done to save on paying labour in the long run since it's over lapping time.
      When I was replacing the timing belt I inspected the water pump and it wasn't leaking or making noise so I left it.
      I would suggest replacing the water pump if you don't want to get in there again.
      I can do these timing belts pretty quickly that if the water pump does leak/make noise it won't take me long to do it.

    • @modsobsessed
      @modsobsessed  Год назад

      Depending where on the oil pan you jack it from. Never use the jack on it's own always, put a piece of wood like a 2x4 that can go across from edge to edge of the oil pan and as close as possible to the corner, the bends are the strongest part of the pan. BUT if your oil pan is badly rusted like mine was (the oil in the pan was penetrating through) then it will crack the rust and cause a leak. Hence why I have a video replacing my oil pan. 😏

      I know what you mean. There used to be quite a few back in the day, but now they are scares. And when I see them they are pretty badly rusted here in Toronto, Canada. But did find a local CS3 chassis club that have pretty clean ones.

    After watching this video, I've decided not to attempt this 😁
    At the same time I don't trust any mechanics in my area to do it correctly. Major shortage of good mechanics in Melbourne, Australia.

      Thanks for watching the video. But sorry to hear that the video discouraged you from doing this job. Was the video not detailed enough, was it hard to follow? Let me know your feed back it will help me create better content.

      @@modsobsessed actually this is probably the best tutorial/camera work I've seen. It's more the amount of parts and bolts to remove and keep track of, and reassembly that worries me.

    Why you did not changed the oil seals? It's 120k now!

      The front oil seal?
      It wasn't leaking so why would I replace it?
