    Good stuff. I was hoping you'd have changed the cam and crank seals as that can be a lead to timing failures if (or when) they leak on the belt.
    Most times it's good insurance especially when you don't know how long the seals been there.

    Don't set the crank sprocket dead on. If you do that it will turn about a tooth before the CAMS start moving. I normally set the notch like I said, a tooth to tooth and a half prior. I have done numerous timing belts and got it down to less than 2 hours from start to finish without a lift. Make sure you do the washer mod and do not pull the pin until rotating a couple times. Is also a good idea to put a socket in between the crank sprocket and crank bolt. You don't want the bolt to bottom out.

    • @MiguelDsm

      Set the crank sprocket a tooth counter clockwise. Also did washer mod. Video comes out Saturday

    I just did this a couple months ago. A lot of work but all worth it at the end. I ended up doing the alternator while I was in there too. Was thinking of doing the ac compressor delete but kept it. Hope it runs great when you’re done.

    The blue is the gates racing belt an upgrade from OEM and usually goes together with a solid tensioner due to the racing belt not stretching like the oem does

    Couldn't make out in the video, but hoping you didn't use a jack and the wooden block on the bottom of the sump? If so then check you haven't pushed in any part of the sump as that's where the oil pickup is and you can cause issues.

I just got my 92 sl back after 7 months of it being with a mechanic who couldn't find the issue made it home without breaking things at least i think... tell me why i found out its the radiator lol. it's boiling hot and only one fan takes a while to turn on so soon ill be replacing things hoping to find an aluminum one with hoses and water pump. Trany broke on me twice on my journy without even abusing it along my journy:(

    To anyone watching don't do what happens at 7:59, use some small tarp clamps to hold the belt to the cam gear. Release tension on 1 at a time so valves don't smack pistons.
