@@Megatholis I’m just saying that you don’t have to change all the shit if you only need a timing belt. That being said pulleys and all that stuff is warranted but if your serpentine belt is fine then there’s no need
Well usually some transversely mounted engines have a engine mount keeping everything together plus timing belts and chains are commonly sold as a waterpump/pull kit
If i didn't click on the video to find out more, i would've assumed the creator to have been one of the biggest idiots on earth. As in: OF COURSE you should replace your timing belt, it's part of regular maintenace as well! But yes, a lot of times you should replace other necessary parts along with it, such as the water pump, idler pulleys tensioner ect. I replaced my chain, guides, exhaust cam gear and the tensioner. I didn't do the water pump, because it's separate from the engine timing, so i will proooobably do it while i replace the coolant and the thermostat. Y'know, to ensure an optimally operating cooling system.
Nah, just some seals, water pump, tensioner/idlers, valve cover gasket, and new accessory belt. Pretty standard, but definitely "while you're in there" stuff.
To an extent every timing job is jus about the same... I just finished a 06 rx330 timing job and I can say Toyota added extra steps like having to remove the timing gears and rear cover to take out the water pump vs Honda less brackets and less specialty tools needed very simple... I did a Chevy 1.8 timing belt last week needed to lock the crank and cams in 3 different spots ... All same install and removal procedures jus different ways you interact with the cams
Because you have very little room to work on the engine. To remove the alternator in my car involves either removing the radiator. Or unmounting the engine and lowering it to wiggle the alternator out. Do you see how much room he has to work on in the video? It's a fraction of that.
@@Greeko_Poloz yes but the workshop i work at people told me that cv axles are the reason fwd cars suck that why i mentioned it and i also understood your part space on the engine bay its tight to work in there i brought cv axles into the conversation because i heard they suck
If it's a PT Cruiser then you have to evacuate the AC refrigerant and remove the AC lines so you can remove the engine support bracket in order to remove the timing belt. It's also a good idea to replace the AC accumulator after having the system opened for that long. 🙃
I love how this dude went from step 1-3 he goes from 1 ,5 ,10, done like bro most people don't even know how to take the belt off in the first place and this dude skipped that and went str8 to taking off the pully on his little fat canned exhausted car lol I'm dying
This is a lot easier said then done. Just did my timing chain and timing belt along with all tensioners and belts for accessory water pump and clutch fan, it is not a task for the average
If you have this engine and this amount of room yes .. try doing that on a modern turbo diesel with a sealed up timing chain right up against the wheel arch/shock tower.
I always tell people to get a timing component kit. Especially when it's a vehicle that has components like the water pump and oil pump that runs off the timing belt. Even more critical on difficult vehicles like a pt cruiser that is the hardest timing belt job I've ever done so I replaced everything while I was up in that mess they call a car.
I only did plugs on my moms car but it took me 4 hours to remove the intake manifold 3 brackets against the firewall 05 rx330 nightmare holy can’t imagine doing this
I have an rx400h same kind of process and I didn’t even install those back two bolts. Completely useless and annoying and it makes the job so much easier now. Only thing I’m not gonna do on that car is the timing belt because I’d rather not fuck up my car 😂. I agree though bank 2 spark plugs are a nightmare. Almost want an in-line 4 motor, it would be so nice.
New water pump? I guess if it's a garbage Miata engine. My Honda factory pump has 345k on it and two belt changes... Operates perfect and doesn't leak...
People are so offended by good advice. He isnt saying you HAVE TO hes saying you SHOULD! And hes completely fucking right, if you can you should absolutely have the seals and water pump replaced while the motor is already torn down it WILL save you money in the future if you plan on keeping the vehicle for years and years.
Changing the belt is a massive job costing 3 or more hours of labour for what are cheap parts. My latest car has a chain and some new cars have shaft drive. Rubber bands are a bad idea.
I could not find any of the necessary parts at my local Advance Auto, AutoZone, Napa, CarQuest, or O'Reilly's... I had to order parts from FCP Euro, ECS Tuning, UroTuning, Amazon, and AliExpress. Oh, the joys of owning a late 90s German car...
True, and it only takes about 45 minutes more to change all of that other stuff when you are changing the timing belt.(I won't warrantee the job if you don't atleast change the tensioner and idler pulley with the belt.)
I changed my timing belt, and the water pump bolts were seized. Only do what you are physically able to do on your own. Worst case you can’t do everything.
I've been there. My 4runner was on its last legs, and the cost for a top end rebuild was nearly as much as a JDM engine... So I got a new engine, and then my transmission exploded! X3
I replaced the timing belt, the tensioner pully, and the idler pulley, belt wasn't tight enough so I turned the motor over with the starter to get it to center. The job took me 9 fucking hours, I ain't got 4 days to take the entire engine apart to change all the related components and reset timing. Car's been running fine.
Like when I found out my impact wouldn’t fit on the crank bolt even with condenser / radiator was out. Turns a breaker bar and ustiliizing the starter worked good
For almost 20-25 years i did change ONLY the timing belt on my pickup, and still every thing is perfectly fine im paying only the fuel and the oil on my pickup.
@@leightonlawrence8832 TDC would be cylinder #1 every engine is different so find info on said engine. The reason you want it on TDC is to see where the cylinder is and to line up the timing marks without doing that your gonna mess the engine up

Timing belt job on that engine is relatively simple compared to on a transversely mounted engine with dual VVT's.

Cam-lock Tools aren't mentioned at all.
I think this could prevent a lot of swearing and bent valves just in case sbd. Sticks to this quick guide
You see him using one
Miata engines are non interference, so no bent valves
He took the cam gears off to do the seals….
Issa miata so the cam lock tool is two large crescent wrenches and a zip tie

If you have an interference engine make sure cylinder 1 is at TDC when aligning everything.
You do that regardless of interference.
Thats what the locking tools are for
"Torque everything"

Meh, unless I’m leaking oil, I’m just gonna replace the belt. And to be honest, even if it is leaking, I might still just replace the belt 😂
Place RTV where needed. Not like my dad who put it around the whole freaking seal
Drain coolant, remove the thermostat housing may have been missed along with filling coolant after repairs

Always remember to lubricate your timing belt with washer fluid before you slap it back on
