DIY: 3SGTE TIMING BELT KIT VIDEO

Rebuilding my 3sgte engine timing belt kit (seals, gaskets, water/oil pump and timing belt)
DONT FORGET TO PUT BACK THE TIMING BELT GUIDE "METAL WASHER" BEFORE THE TIMING COVER.
Tq spec for the water pump and oil pump housing is 9ft lbs
SORRY FOR THE LONG A$$ VIDEO. I was doing it and explaining it at the same time. Usually take me 40mins to do everything.

To decrease the timing belt fitment frustration, refrain from fully tightening the timing belt tensioner mount bolts prior to fitting the timing belt. The timing belt tensioner mount bolt holes are "egged" out and will allow a few millimeters of movement, thereby decreasing the tension against the timing belt pulley. This might sound trivial with the motor on a stand, but doing this while the motor is in the vehicle will spare you from cursing loudly and kicking the family dog.

[@krazybeanzmuzik4333]

Thanks for the info, the ending though dwl

[@ariesfires1]

I just picked up a 91 SW20 and watching all your videos is so helpful. Appreciate you!

[@jeanmaranello3365]

God bless you. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. You are my inspiration to continue to restore these very special cars. Its hard for us to learn without going through the bumps in the road. But this is education material for any MR2 builder. Excellent work. Please keep the university going. Have a blessed day and enjoy your beautiful family.

[@RC11759]

Great job and video. Thank you for your time in helping others understand the steps. A+ step by step info.

[@bastian9653]

Super clean work! Many thanks for sharing it !

[@nrsawh]

Very good video, impressive, used specifications which are rear to see off most technicians.

[@albaro08a]

I don’t even have this engine but something about engine repair just gets me

[@toiy2]

Thanks! Very well made video

[@ajd2003]

An easy way to copy those marks on your timing belt is to use 2 long nails and a board. Drive one nail in and put both belts on it with their sides touching. Stretch both belts until pretty tight and then put the other nail in the board to keep them stretched, then copy the marks. Simple and quicker than counting teeth.

[@justintowers8230]

its advisable that you check clearance on the oil pump with feeler gauges, to know if you need a new one or not... SST = Specialty Service Tool. One click is good with torque wrench, clicking several times will apply more pressure than you have set on torque wrench. finally got around to watching the whole video.

[@mr2scroll538]

thaks for all your help , cant wait to get a 3sgte 4 gen, cause na 5sfe sucks no power

[@jlmarco7552]

great information ;-) thank you for all

[@paintballkid20]

Great video, very informative. When I replaced mine, I didn't set the timing back to top dead center, I marked where the timing was previously, changed the belt and cranked the pulley one full turn. Next time I replace it, I'll refer back to your video. Thanks!

[@danielsandoval5252]

You technically don't have to set at tdc. It just makes it easier for starting and for a reference to see when something has spun out of time in relation to the other compnents.

[@michelleeykenboom926]

outstanding video

[@deanstevenson6527]

Michelle Eykenboom : Thats how I feel too. Gen 3S-GE here.

[@eNigma22223]

Thanks! Awesome video :)

[@MuffinMan0521]

MR2 for life!!!

[@rickitlor]

Hey Bob I know that when doing timing belt you have to line up the 3 dot mark but when you put on the crankshaft pulley (harmonic balancer) there also a grove mark on it too how would that be mark at?.

[@alexk8583]

To make Your life much easier I recommend to install the tensioner after belt is on.

[@demonspeeds1]

great video

[@youbreakemwefixem7209]

Nice method of pulling the seals flush rather than tapping them home. Seems to give a little better control.

[@dickieboy007]

nice 1 Bob... 👌👍

[@arefmtenga3057]

keep going bro... good job

[@BobPham]

ThAnK YoU 😀😀!!!

[@Shmagmar1]

Hey Bob do you have a video showing how you remove/install the motor?

[@StefernOKioni]

How do you retract the tensioner and install the pin prior to now installing on the engine????

[@maarten332]

How do you get the crankshaft bolt loose while the engine is out? I only have hand tools and a long pipe

[@michaeldaub9476]

so the crank sensor in same spot as well for normal beams?

[@nammikallinn]

You mention that you're not running the AC bracket, how do you tension the altenator belt? I've removed my AC compressor but I'd like to get rid of the bracket as well...

[@theeverydaycarguy348]

I am having a hard time lining up the timing marks on my gen 2. Any tips? thanks, awesome vids.

[@cincomorales]

Hi how can i get a 2002 to 2007 toyota caldina ecu diagram? Would you know ?

[@Kelevra52]

Hey bro, the pulley 3sge (no beams) st202 its the same that 3sgte st205 ?

[@Jmarquez43]

How did you remove the crank pulley bolt?

[@josephmaravilla7481]

Which bgb are you referencing? I have the 2nd gen bgb but Idk if the torque specs are different from the 4th gen. Thanks!

[@seanusmcmaximus]

Hey Bob, im doing this myself on a 3sge, basically the same process. I just wanted to ask, when you undo the cam bolts and oil pump nut, you have the belt off and your power tool makes light work of it..i dont have a power tool though..Do i need to get a tool to hold the pulleys while i undo the bolts/nut or should i put the belt back on and see if that gives enough holding power?

[@emptyworld86]

i need your help where can i get time belt for 3s gte n6 yamaha

[@johnfarias7230]

Hey I have a question how bad do these things run if timing slips a tooth or two cuz my car is running horrible I have a 3sgte cold it basically sounds like I have an aggressive Cam and won't rev over 2000 and barely will idle

[@carlosalmeida7583]

Hi Sir. thank you for your explanation Can you send me the Toyota code number from the cam belt? there is some timing belt kit for a ST215 (4 gen) ? Regards

[@gilbertx23]

Hey bob, great vids! where's your shop located? I wanted to get my 3sgte checked. thanks

[@andraevickers441]

How can I get one of that book to buy?

[@oguzogursenyurtaltai4652]

hello guys. which oil is safer for gen 3 jdm 3sgte engine. 5w30. 10w30 ore 10w40?

[@rcap9182]

How do you get the manual book

[@cptjockitch]

Is this the same for every generation 3sgte engine?

[@MuffinMan0521]

On the 5th gen 3S-GTE they've increased the torque specifications on the oil pump to 12 Nm (106 in lbs). Not sure about the 4th gen.

[@zero_to_1000]

Is this for your track car and do you expect it to blow up?

[@beaulornegerald2306]

I realized it just now it was actually @17:27 magically appeared in place

[@dragosionut2390]

Good job, just working on 3S-GE engine and helped me a lot with your video and with this occasion I thank you. I want to ask you where I can find that manual with the tightening measures because I opened the valve cover and will take down all the oil pump and oil bath. I hope you can help me thanks

[@Edwins001]

Compré un 3sgte igual 5th gen. Debo instalarlo en un Celica st182 que tengo en Venezuela. Tu Hablas español ?

[@burmeseguy9082]

Can be able to use NA transmission into 3sgte motor?

[@julianiwan8984]

Yes but you've gotta be easy on it, they're not as strong as the turbo transmissions

[@LIUSAAAA]

hey man you seem to be the expert on the 3sgte , i was wondering if you could help me out with a few problems im having ?

[@BobPham]

ben lunn sure what is it? I mainly do regular maintenance on them

[@LIUSAAAA]

my gen4 timing is lined up exactly how yours is in the video but the engine is still acting like it does not have enough timing ( wont rev correctly , stumbley under acceleration , high fuel consumption etc) am i missing something?

[@sharkythesharkdogg9732]

I'm assuming this problem only started after you replaced the timing belt? If you're absolutely positive you have mechanical timing correct, it's time to start looking elsewhere. Electrical timing, air supply, or fuel supply.

[@LIUSAAAA]

Have been over the wiring multiple times , all checks out , no engine code or check engine light , where would a good place be to start ?

[@sharkythesharkdogg9732]

Verify your basics. You've been over your mechanical timing marks for the belt I'm sure, but run a compression test. Make sure you're getting the numbers you expect to get. If not, maybe the engine valves/cams are out of time to the crank despite how it looks. Check fuel supply pressure. Maybe when you're accelterating/loading engine the pump or fuel pressure regulator isn't working correctly. Make sure you have the electrical timing of the distributor set correctly, etc. If all that adds up, start going over your electrical connections with a fine too comb. Make sure all plugs are completely inserted, listen for that "click". Check for any grounds you may have left loose.

[@beaulornegerald2306]

Did he forget to put back the oil pump seal?

[@BobPham]

beaulorne gerald @17:43

[@justintowers8230]

Is the disclaimer really necessary? will someone really find a way to sue you over a non interference engine?

[@BobPham]

Justin Towers I'm not sure. Just wanna be safe then sorry that's all.

[@billyc2572]

You're really brave to trust your impact driver to torque critical fasteners ie: waterpump housing. Don't copy him guys. Find and follow your torque specs especially for critical fasteners like the crank pulley. H20 pump, cam gears etc

[@BobPham]

What u mean? I do trq them down to spec base on the gen2 3sgte bgb book. Ie @26:06 for water pump. Etc..

[@billyc2572]

@@BobPham my mistake I saw you use the driver and right away commented. My apologies I will pull off my comment after you see this. I am remiss. Good work. I spoke to soon and foolishly so. I have been searching for a 2nd gen mr2 expert. I'm an independent technician and I took on a build. It's a 91 mr2 2.2L but theres no engine in the bay. It came with a 3sge but it's got a turbo manifold both in and ex. And greddy turbocharger. It's got a inlay sticker on the head that says 3sge. Not 3sgte. The transmission is coming saturday the vehicle owner is dropping it off along with CV shafts. I have some questions. Can u email me some contact info just from one technician to another ? I am a licensed tech so it's not like I'm looking for free consults just a friendly bit of info that I can finally trust from someone that's been there and physically done it. My email is [e-mail] id you could message me that would be so appreciated.

[@deanstevenson6527]

Billy C : Hey there. The Phillips screw part is just standard Toyota security. Like the one piece wiring loom and crank removal tool and before you get to the 14 job specific tools Bob Pham and Toyota imply/ show you need to do all seals. Before even this stage, I had to get seven other special tools. It takes some effort to restrain yourself on the 6th water pump screw. Adding an Allen head drive, counter sunk screw is really hard if you don't have access like on my RAV4. Nice comments.

[@texaslawdawg1902]

Says “not a mechanic”, and then puts Toyota techs to shame.

[@Jmarquez43]

How did you remove the crank pulley bolt?

[@BobPham]

I USE THE ROYOBI 1/2 IMPACT BATTERY GUN OR MY AIR IR GUN FOR MORE POWER

[@RaceLine10]

if you dont have such tools you can buy lock spacer for flywheel or make one.
