2005-2010 2.7L Kia Sportage timing belt water pump replacement

[@josephradack284]

I am an experienced "tree jacker" but I am pretty sure I could not have not this job without the clear, concise video with great camera angles, torque specs, and general commentary

[@volcanoman7260]

You’re a lifesaver man, first the compressor and now this. Was able to do both jobs thanks to you

[@renof2505]

Great job on the video. Appreciate the socket sizes and everything. I have worked on cars a long time and never heard to carbon on valve story. I would have figured he warped the head and written it off.

[@RustBeltAuto]

Ya. Usually it just idles a little funny, until it warms up. Then it cleans out. This was really bad, and I should have known better. Then again, nothing like a little youtube drama.

[@dvjvbv]

Great walk through. Good images and commentary. I appreciate you actually taking the time to put it all back together rather than just saying "the build is the reverse of the teardown" as. Thanks for the torque information as well. Using a socket extension as a cheater bar was a good tip. I just put the laptop on the air-cleaner and worked right through it. Great job. Thanks for the help! For others - > Get an organizer box with about 20-30 compartments. At each step, take all the bolts and clips for that component and put them in a compartment, filling left to right. Then when you put them back, you work right to left and you have exactly the right bolts, at exactly the right time - rather than trying to keep them sorted on a work bench. > at 26:10 - the right idler pulley. The offset lobe should be up as pictured. it's very easy to put that part on upside down. The pin can miss the hole and go off the side of the back of the pulley. It installed flat and torque down fine, but the offset lobe was on the bottom. I didn't notice it until I tried to put the lower cover on and it just would not fit. > To fix that, I had to remove the tensioner and compress it with a 5" clamp and replace the pin as mentioned earlier in the video. Then reinstall the pulley and the tensioner and pull the pin again. > Other thing was the lower cover and upper cover share a long bolt between them, so when putting on the lower cover, I thought I'd misplaced a bolt until I got to the upper cover and found it went through both. > If you're torquing down the crank pulley by hand, it's easier after the motor mount is installed. Keeps it from moving around.

Dude your commentary was epic! I just did this on my 2005 Sportage with a Gates kit. Your video helped me. Thanks for putting it up.

[@RustBeltAuto]

Welcome.

[@CesarMagana-z3i]

Thank you for the video, I was able to tree jack my KIA Sportage LX 2.7L V6, with all your help!!!

[@careful7951]

You’re videos are the best. And I like your accent and comedic sense.

[@davida871]

Best video I've watched for this procedure. At least the owner didn't waste good money on oem or Gates parts. 😂 It's a shame he kept driving it with just water. What a waste. I only buy OEM or Gates for timing belt kits. When you pointed out the melted lower shield my gut said he roasted the head gasket. Great job with camera and commentary. If you care about those sorts of things 😂 👍

THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE BRINGING THAT DEAD ENGINE BACK TO LIFE BEFORE REPLACING THAT T/BELT AND WATER PUMP. AWESOME VIDEO AS I AM TECH WITH 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE AND HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BRAKLEEN TRICK.

Thanks for being DIRECT TO THE POINT AND and wrench size and torque spec. !!!!!!!!!!

[@denverbroncosmilehighview9897]

"Tree-Jackers" Love it. Thank you so much for the vid. BTW.. That "special tool" to hold the pulley in place while you loosen / tighten the crank shaft nut is called a 'spanner wrench'. The KIA Sportage was 'engineered' to use that tool to take on and off the crank shaft pulley. Personally, I wouldn't use an impact wrench to put that nut back on. Also, I wouldn't turn the engine over (before starting project) with a wrench and socket lodged to loosen that nut as Scotty Kilmer suggested. The pulley was 'engineered' to use a spanner wrench to take it on and off with.

[@RustBeltAuto]

@@denverbroncosmilehighview9897 that Scotty Killmore fella must not have an impact, and a torque stick. Whatever works, I suppose.

[@denverbroncosmilehighview9897]

@@RustBeltAuto I also like when you say "the victim". I don't know what these car / truck owners are thinking. They're not. They are a 'victim' of their own stupidity and laziness. I have a 2009 KIA Sportage with 110K on it, and everything looks 180 degrees from this guy / gal's Sportage.

[@spicolisupreme]

2008 kia 2.7 Both of my cam dots are 1 tooth ahead of the mark, I've triple checked I'm T on the crank. Vehicle seemed to be running just fine, had it 3 years no issue, only doing timing belt because of failed water pump. Any thoughts? Put the new belt on with Both cam marks ahead of the groove by the tooth ??

[@RustBeltAuto]

Sometimes that happens when the crank jumps a tooth, or it was not assembled properly. It should have a camshaft correlation code of somekind.

[@williecooper1116]

😂😂😂 I can spray some break cleaner down in the throttle to clean it unless you cooked it so bad it don't want to work ever again❣️ He made the really bad sound funny AF making the headache of a job more tolerable! 😂😂😂😂😂

Hey its been a while. Miss your videos :) . I guess the customer better invest in bus tickets now. Thats pretty bad to let it go that far with that car.

Hell of a job!!!

[@markovalenzuela3315]

hey man thank you so much for the video, so i had this same problem but it started as a cam shaft position sensor. Went ahead and changed it and as the engine was about to turn over it made a pop and smoke same from around the serpentine belt. I was about to do this replacement but i see that at the end you say that the engine is cooked. My question is how can i tell if this engine is no good before i go ahead and do this replacement?

[@RustBeltAuto]

@@markovalenzuela3315 if you think you overheated it, and wrecked a head gasket, or something, you can do a block test. It needs to be running to do it. Cmp sensor codes might happen because of a timing belt issue.

[@markovalenzuela3315]

@@RustBeltAuto honestly i have been up to date with my cooling and oils both engine and transmission. it was running perfect even the temperature was good and i went to get gas, turned off the car and then it doesnt want to turn back on. Towed it home and swapped the sensor then a loud pop happen and smoke came out by the side where the timing belt is

[@RustBeltAuto]

@@markovalenzuela3315 if i was me, i would see if the timing belt is properly aligned.

[@mohamad-ms2pb]

Let me see if I understand this correctly. Are you saying that it is a good idea to do a block test before replacing a water pump and timing belt?

[@RustBeltAuto]

@@mohamad-ms2pb this dude overheated his car bad.

[@mohamad-ms2pb]

@@RustBeltAuto Yes he did overheat his engine but if I tell a mechanic my engine overheated and I need a new radiator or water pump, shouldn't the mechanic check if the engine is damaged before going through that trouble of replacing the water pump? Also I'm curious, did that victim have to pay for all the labor you put into the job?

[@RustBeltAuto]

@@mohamad-ms2pb the victim was a friend. He used some jedi magic to make me believe everything was fine, then he had his daddy buy him a new truck.

[@wullahblack6452]

That's always the trick, trying to scrape the old gasket off without scoring up the surface. I just did this on my 98 Camaro Z28 with the LS1. Aluminum face, you don't wanna mess that up. Plastic scrapers and a bunch of gasket removing gel that barely seemed to work.

[@RustBeltAuto]

I am fond of carbide gasket scrapers, and razor blades. Regular scrapers must be very sharp, with no nicks.
