Please crankshaft and camshaft full timing mark sent thank you Sir
Hey Scotty, I've checked AutoZone, O'Reilly's, and Amazon for number 12 but I can't seem to find it being sold anywhere. Can you provide a link please?
Geezez, its cheaper to take it to a mechanic ! 😆👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺❤
L
i cant seem to find number 12 do you have another link?
The fastest timing belt change ever. This guy is a pro.
Teqo7 never did one before. I have only put a timing belt on an engine that was out of a car on an engine stand. I guess when I have that experience It will be more like nothing lol
Well, it is because Mr Kilmer choosen an easy engine to do it. I have an 1998 ford contour and i had to take out the camshaft cover, wires and spark plugs off, and had a hard time taking off some pulleys, in order to reach a f*king screw, and the water pump pulley had three screws. Besides, i had to lift the engine to unscrew a motor mount, take off the antifreeze tank and so. Then i had to align correctly both camshafts with the crankshaft, lock it up, unscrew and tight. A real pain in the ass, and everything done in the outdoors and during winter time.
+Jossejagguar he didn't choose it was just available
partially because it is a well shot, planned, and well edited video. But a lot of details are left out to help keep it short. This is done because most folks get bored really fast these days. No attention span Unless they are entertained. Thus goes the old saying; "Anything you enjoy, you will excel at." Which also means that anything you don't enjoy is next to impossible to learn.
Proof is check your old school grades. Scotty is obsessed with making good videos, so he really excels at making very very good ones.
Thumbs up Scotty, You make us smile. Methinks I would smile longer with the added details. You are a great teacher.
MUDDy
muddymuddymuddmann ...SQUARRIAL!
the heck with awards, I already have an emmy. Just watch the advertisements before the video fully and I get paid money for that.
Done sir.
this guy changed a timing belt in 4 minutes, my dealership needs 4 hours.
hey hey it's always a four hour repair.
These are just quick videos to give you the gist of what the job consists of. Most timing belts take several hours, and many timing chains can take all day or more.
hey hey my dealership needed a week
First of all, why take a car to a stealership
I personally used 4 weekends. First time doing the job. 19 year old bolts actually get stuck (who knew?) , and a TON of stuff is in the way...
Only if this job can be done in the amount of time this video took...
He cheated and used an electric wrench lol
Wow, you make it look so easy here. Recently I changed the timing belt on my 2002 Honda Accord and it was quite a job, definitely something from the Busted Knuckle Garage. While I got help from another video on how to change that particular timing belt I give you, Scotty, some credit for motivating me to go ahead and actually do it myself.
When i do a timing belt, I don't just replace the timing belt but also the other stuff like the tensioner, waterpump and other pulleys. If one of those parts seizes, the timing belt will break and you may have to pull the head off
My 99 accord is making a small ticking noise and i don’t completely know if it’s the timing belt or not was wondering yours made a ticking noise
I don't recall it making any noise. I replaced it for preventive maintenance, knowing a failure could not only leave me stranded but also ruin the engine. Back in 1988 I had a timing belt break on a 4 cylinder engine in a Ford Pinto. There was no noise warning me it was soon to fail.
Scotty Kilmer makes everything look easy.
You didn't show us how you made use of the paint marking. That would be the important part.
After rotating 2 times by hand, ensure that the paint marks all match up again. If not, the belt has skipped a tooth somewhere and will need to be repositioned.
Great video Scotty! I like the paint technique for marking the gear placement. I have used that technique for years, and I found marking the belt on the gear works great too.
Your a real asset to the mechanic community, as well the weekend warrior.
"Where's the harmonic balancer?"
"Right next to the henway mark"
"What's a hen weigh, mark?"
"About 5 pounds."
Hahahaha, ok that was good!
You made me laugh out loud! Wow..you posted this 3 years ago. I can’t help but wonder if you’re still alive or if you’ve.... met your Grim Dark End..?🤭🤭
Just wanted to drop a line to thank you. I have a 99 mitsubishi mirage that was neglected severely. I recently changed the timing belt water pump and crank seal. I never would have attempted it if it weren't for your videos. The car needed a lot of tlc. So I cant thank you enough for all your knowledge. God Bless
Im in love with this chanel ..i can't believe it i missed for so long..im not mechanic..but now im very interested in cars👍 thank you SCOTTY KILMER 🙌🙌
Come check me out buddy, im uploading newbie vids soon also
you have to make the automatic tensioner be in the loosest position, then feed the belt on the crank at the bottom and work all the way around the pulleys, keeping the slack part on the tensioner side so it gets tight when you loosen it back up
I love it when Scotty goes into excruciating details to explain every step.
You make it look so easy Scotty, but something tells me is not. :-)
It's not. I've done this job on the street and a shop it wasn't easy in both setting. But a lot easier on a lot lift.

I know how to do most of the things in these videos but it's still so enjoyable to watch Scotty do it. This guy is good! Respect!!!
Timing chains break sometimes, too. This happened to me on an 85 Toyota pickup, an $800 repair. I decided to replace the one in my 90 Dodge Dakota DIY. I was told the chain on it would be more robust than the Toyota, which was more like a bicycle chain. However, the Dodge had 192,000 miles. The old chain had some play in it, but the new one is nice and snug. The motor is quieter, too. If it weren't for a little lifter noise, it would be pretty quiet for an American made truck.
You're freaking awesome. You deserve a RUclips award.
Makes it look so easy...when I was a young mechanic I had a car (believe it was a chrysler 2.7, FWD) with a bad water pump. Had never even heard of a timing driven water pump at the time. It was a Sunday, so a couple of us less experienced guys were on duty(the A Techs had most weekends off...hell, they earned it). Car comes in on the hook and we and the rokkie advisor take it in figuring its a water pump...how bad can it be? Well...when I was tearing it down when I first heard/saw those four cams (V6 DOHC) snap into a different position I knew I had screwed up. This was in 2008 and me and that car are still married to this day... 😆
its always a good idea to replace pulleys and even the tensioner and water pump too.
Especially the water pump.
"replace pulleys"? you mean pulley bearings?
Pulleys.
They are usually included in timing belt kit.
Kit usually includes : Belt, tensioner pulley, water pump and one more little pulley (no idea what's it's real name is)
@@carleynorthcoast1915 the bearings are in the pulleys lol. They come as a whole when you buy them.
If the water pump breaks, is it bye bye engine? Cuz it’s an interference engine.
I've watched a few of your videos already and I love them. I'm 16 and I just love cars trucks and engines. I'm a beginner and I'm learning so much. Your videos are amazing!
did this on an '89 nissan truck with the 3 liter engine. Used up a three day weekend but the car ran fine afterwards. really satisfying to start it up that first time but man... scary stuff
thanks for all you're videos scotty, you're always a huge help
Very interesting video. I thought a timing belt change was much more complicated and a 2+ hour job for a professional mechanic. Thanks for a clear, concise demonstration
+Michael Hendrix For Japanese cars (especially the older ones) its a fast thing to do. Experienced mechanics with right tools do it in 1 hour, some even faster (like this guy). For some other cars its a harder job and even experienced mechanics might have to spend 2-3 hours to it.
Well we can’t really tell how long it took him
reset it correctly, and be sure to get the slack when you do that in the belt to be slack at the tensioner pulley. Otherwise tightening the pulley will often move the cams a couple teeth off
Really well made video! Thank you for putting these together. Cheers!
I love this guy ..makes every jobs looks easy get a lot of confidence watching these videos
God Bless you man Scotty
On most cars it isn't this easy...not even close. He gives you a general direction but prepared to spend several hours/a day if it's your first time.
+mike blaz More than one reason why I hate front wheel drive vehicles.
mike blaz That's why I love older RWD carbeuratted cars. Easy and cheap to fix. It literally takes less than an hour to change a timing chain if you know what your doing.
I already have, just type "ignition timing" in the search on my scotty kilmer channel opening page on youtube. It's the little magnifying glass, you click on that near the top middle.
Thanks Scotty, your videos are the best and i appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
I love tutorials like these. Cuts right to the chase with no stupid intro or anything. Way to go, guy!
Wow didn’t realize a timing belt was so easy! I think I’ll paint 5 or 6 places to make sure 😂
this guy is awesome lol.
your the man Scotty! Raw and to the point love it.
great video sir, love the enthusiasm! Thank you
This guy is crazy, but I like him. lol
i have a question for you
what is your drug dealers number
Lmao
It's probably 1-800-ThePresidentofAmerica press government for fast service or press FBI for delivery options
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
good idea if high mileage, or if an interference engine.
Scotty- I've used this vid and the paint trick plus other advice you've given. All I can say is tusen tak, which is Norwegian for a thousand thanks. You've made my now informed auto brain much happier! Thanks so much.
you have to lock the flywheel from moving then, they make tools for that.
why am i seeing so many where there not even yours??
some engines you need special tool's to change timing components which mass majority or DYI'rs don't have (example the newer 2.0l Volkwagon diesel motors)
Do a lot of research before attempting or you might make a costly mistake!!
Especially fords
Scotty, you are great. Thank you for all of the information and opinions on your channel.
Beautiful!! This is the one thing I have been afraid to do. I helped a friend some time ago and the idea of using the "gun" to line things up deters me. By watching your video, I will change it myself soon. Thanks a bunch!!
i wish it could be that easy on a wv 2.0tdi
mrasidhu vw are supposedly easy to work on
Best thing to do is get a car without timing belt:)
with a timing chain is best!!
its all the plastic bits around that chain that's the worry and to be honest, we don't tend to have cars past one or two swaps anyway. Get your point though, seems stupid.
Eternally 1 Chains tensioners and guides wear out too and then it's big money or a lot of work.
3800, series 3 v6 in my 2008 buick with over 240,000 miles. Never needed a timing chain, never will.
Yep that's what most people think until the loose chain wears a hole in the timing cover and either causes an oil leak or worse causes coolant to leak into the oil destroying your engine. Both designs have thier issues. Neither are maintenance free.
scotty you the best!!
I don't have the guts to change the timing belt my self -_-
if you haven't done one yet.. do it.. it's good experience. One tip is to transfer the marks from the old belt to the new belt, it helps a lot.
So you measure the marks from the old one against the new? Maybe with chalk marking or a white paint marker?
@@TheLondonCyclist Yes.. not chalk, I used a paint marker from home depot. Then you just place the new belt on top of the old one, transfer them over. Use a locking tool for the cam shaft as mentioned and the trickiest part is getting it past the tensioners. a new tensioner should come with a pin that holds it in the retracted position, that makes it easier, then pull the pin out once everything is lined up.
@@zoomjoo I might have to get my mate involved as four hands is better than two. Cheers mate.
@@TheLondonCyclist definitely, i needed a helping hand to get the belt back on as well, to hold the belt tensioner in the retracted position
My little shitty Ford Fusion requires a bit more work, namely removing the engine mount as well. It's also a good idea to change the tensioner & water pump.
Also does the focus. Gotta remove the engine mount and lower the engine a bit.
@@Mike-vs3dv Ford has terrible designs try putting an alternator on one...
@@mikevigil3677 Oh i know, i know 🙁
thanks for the tip scotty. i've learned alot from your videos. thumbs up :)
You are my hero!!! You make everything looks so easy!!!
Loosen the bolt on the tension pulley "UGHH"
Whats with the paint ? To line up what ? You didnt move anything did you ? Or did I miss something ?
+librazone To set the proper mechanical timing of the crank shaft and the Cam shaft.
I suppose he did not explain at length the importance of the markings and how they can affect the timing internally if one places the belt incorrectly. By marking the spot it just makes it easier to get it right when placing the new belt, takes the guess work out of the equation and besides he mentioned that you should do a dry crank of the engine to make sure pistons are not hitting the valves above.
Thanks.
+librazone There are timing marks on the crank shaft and cam shaft, the way he does it is not the best way. pron to mistakes.
Great instructional video Scotty, really enjoy your show..
Never tried those, most gloves I've gotten worked fine, except they tend to fall apart with use on oil and gasoline messes. So I normally wear the latex throw away kind.
My 2002 Passat was destroyed after the timing-belt snapped while doing 80 something on the highway. I only had it for about a month. RIP
+knowthetruth1492 i hear yah man i bought a 93 3000gt last month ran great for 3 days and timing jumped and destroyed my engine.
Holy shit . You didn't check the timing belt if it was worn or in good condition ?
Hi Scotty you are funny ;)
I love your videos man! Best mechanical intro videos!! Straight to the point, no bullshit. Your voice is projected too, keeps our short attention span from dying out too quickly. Keep up the good work!
WOW. Scott- you are super. It only takes 4 minutes to replace timing belt. The shop charged me 4 hours labor. I discovered the car is ready less than 2 hours when I arrived earlier to the shop. The shop didn't call me when it's done. Wish I saw this youtube earlier.
Do this to an inline 6 Jaguar...
anyone with tools can change a timing belt, however, it's a part that's too sensitive. if you put the timing belt 1 inch off you could blow your whole engine. i just leave it to the pros to do that. im not risking buying a whole new engine that could cost over $1,000
they charge you about 1000 to replace the belt at the dealership.
Thats why you turn the engine over see if you did it right
Donald Trump my mechanic charges me only $200 in labor, I buy the parts which cost $150. So in total I spend $350 in getting my timing belt replaced
Thats why you should use some brain cells and turn the engine by hand like Scotty did
I assume it started before, and many things can go wrong, check for broken wires or sensors. And put the engine back at TDC and see if the crank marks line up now, cause sometimes they slip with a new belt put on.
Scotty you are the greek God of car tech. You are the best thing ever happend to dyi's. I have been watching you and learing from you for some time. Thank from the bottom of my heart for teaching us and sharing all your knowledge with us! Please keep up the good work... You rock man seriously!!!
Thanks again!
in sweden it costs 700 $ to change a timing belt! wtf everyting is expensive here
+Nedews In US the dealer charges $900, independent shops around $600-650.
+transformer889 realy? wow
Yes that is for honest mechanics, last time I was at the Honda dealer for a oil change because they had specials, the shop came up with over $3000 worth of repair that had to be done right away, They did not know I am a mechanic with 40 years of experience.
And what's your level of salary?
What goes around, comes around..
Lots of simple jobs are payed quite well which makes it affordable to maintain a relative healthy lifestyle..
Try comparing to Germany, or further south, with honest differences in price level & general living standards for lower education levels..
I can't believe that!!! I'm mechanic, in Serbia, here that costs about 60 euro :D (without parts)
@ 0:35 you say first thing is to what ? i say: first thing is to disconnect the BATTERY... is this wrong ???
nah can never go wrong with doing that. its a good safety precaution!
Waste of time from my experience if you're not working on electrical stuff.
5 mins vs hours if you fry something ..
So well presented. Thanks Scotty. You are the man.....
it varies depending upon manufacturer. Anywhere from 80 thousand to 120 thousand miles (we don't use kilos in Texas)
What clever bastard designs engines with belts when chains exist, and to make it extra intelligent then makes it an interference engine.
Car companies....... they are designed to keep the service department busy and making money which is where the money is at a dealership....
All in the name of space saving and simplicity. Like it or hate it the belt is a simpler system than a chain.
@@aygwm and it's quieter from what I've heard...win win.
On top of previously mentioned things, interference engines are more efficient
the timing belt went on my car so i had to use my tights to get me to the garage
You're cute.
i love you SCOTTY !!!
I love that scotty referenced a manual here. Seems like a small thing, but a pro consulting a reference guide is pretty cool.
I have a saying "the cost is worth the convenience" meaning simply, ill gladly fork over the money to a mechanic that knows what he's doing. Luckily for me i got hooked with a dealer tech that also works in the side. Dealer level service, half the price
+Jason Rushing Money Saved = Higher living standard
+Rocketninja200 Or Money Saved = Same standard of living longer with less work to produce money
Bottom line go to a mechanic.
have your money ready.
Amr Nabil I was quoted no less than $1100 for the job on mine, for just $300 worth of parts (water pump, tensioner, pulley, actual belts) so I said hell no and started gathering parts to do it with my mechanic friend down the road on a rainy day
Bottom line, don't be a wimp and change it yourself
Jon Clarkson everyone should own a basic tool set. Its better safe than sorry even at that having a set of sockets and socket wrench isnt much.
Phil Gudet there you go
I love how every time Scotty turns a wrench real hard he goes, 'ugh' love every vid scotty!
jack it up in the air, bank one is the left side of the engine when you are standing in front of the engine with the fan belts in front of your. It bolts on the exhaust for that side
this guy is amazing! clear and super quick!
Simple fix! Got it done in less than an hour! Just in time before it snows tomorrow. Although my car is leaking a lot of fluid than before, but it’s all good my car should start tomorrow 😊
you have to get the tensioner to go the whole way over to loose. If it's still too tight, get another belt, cheaper ones often are not the exact correct size
Scotty, your worth your weight in gold. Thank you. I'll try my next one myself.
Thanks for your video Scotty, your the best!!
amazing video , he makes it very simple. thanks scotty
Thanks scotty..appreciate what you do !
I had no idea to did youtube this long Scottie. Keep up the great work big dawg
I use a universal one I got from auto zone years ago
I love ur videos.. u make it look soo easy !
You are the best, efficient and very synthetic. No waste of time. Thanks
This is a great video. I have a 98 Nissan Altima that is getting into that zone of mileage and age maintenance, and I need to do the motor mounts, the timing belt, and water pump...but tomorrow I'm doing the distributor. Your videos help to give me some know-how!
thank you I enjoy watching cheers Chris
I find all my car answers online, and now I found you. Thanks Scotty, will be subscribing to you.
Thanks a bunch for this nice video that shows the easy-to-follow instruction.
Awesome Scotty!!Man..all your vids saved me tons of cash..Thanks
Thank you! clean & great job
I thought you was a creep when I first saw your videos but now I see, your a very talented man. Love all your videos bruh...keep it coming. I'm about to do my timing belt too for my 2007 toyota tundra.
I have a good question, does the timing chain on a 2006 silverado affect the truck for not having any spark?
A timing chain will last longer than your engine. Don't need to change it.
he really would help you. love his videos.
depends on how fast you are. I could do one in about an hour if in a rush. You may take 4 or 5 hours
Scotty, I like all your videos.
20 seconds into that video I had no confidence in this man. Now he is my hero.
