Watched this video exactly this same time around last year and I’m just about to do mine now 😅🤣🤦🏽‍♂️ but ive been watching it ever since I don’t even think I need to watch it anymore great tutorial I can’t literally find another one like this one

[@CorneliusVeee]

Hell yeah!

[@alcantarainterior8078]

Man not all heroes wear capes! I truly feel encouraged to get this job done myself on my is - Thanks bro

[@jorgleo0078]

how did it go?

[@GaMeLeSS80808]

Gave me the guide and confidence to do my wife's IS. Thank you very much for the details step by step 👍👍👍. Subscribed!

[@CorneliusVeee]

Glad it helped! I’m sure it saved you a lot too!

[@xiii_centuries]

how did it go? i was thinking about doing this myself

[@GaMeLeSS80808]

@@xiii_centuries I still have yet to do it. Currently the center bearing for the drive shaft went out. Part should arrive .today

[@josiahkauhane9323]

Tip:if you don’t pull the valve covers… loosen the cam gear bolts while the timing belt is tensioned , if your replacing the cam seals… If it moves at least everything moves together so u don’t have to line them up individually that’s ass. Thanks homie for the video!

[@mikesnowpants8920]

Just like the other comments, I feel better about attacking a timing belt job on my 2jz Toyota Crown. Thank you!

[@paulchilds5302]

How many clips breaking and hoses that took 30 min to get off are edited out of this video

[@CorneliusVeee]

Surprisingly not much!

[@TattedTommysTv]

Brother ounce again you helped on my is300 and what's that socket wrench I really like that nice and grippy abd solid looking thank you again brother

[@louietabullo208]

Good shit corn, very informative!

[@josiah172]

I know this is an old video but damn bro, you are speeding up my is3 build so much it’s crazy. Thanks for all the great info!

[@CorneliusVeee]

Im glad these videos help!

[@keemy1boo]

CorneliusVeee it did!! I almost sold my car because I thought it was something hard to fix

[@takcleberry]

Bro it hasn’t even been a year

[@ArtistryAuto]

When u cranked the car to break the bolt and moved timing how did I get it lined up again?

[@AJ.Flims.]

What are the torque specs for the cam sprockets?

[@s5loh974]

whats good, do i need a timing belt cover gasket? im purchasing new valve covers gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, 3 o ring gaskets, the timing belt kit Water Pump, Timing Belt, Tensioner, Pulley, Gaskets from aisin. what else do i need boss?

[@The503Mac]

I am about to do my timing belt and cam seals tomorrow. Any tips or tricks learned after you made this?

[@CorneliusVeee]

Take your time! When you pull the crank gear Don’t forget the the tiny tab holding it in the way or it will break a tooth on the gear.

[@daniel.m3257]

@CorneliusVeee question when the car is off. What should the timing be. White mark isn't on the left side west instead on right east north. This is the vvti gear.

[@abdomar0528]

Did you replace the cam seals?

[@justinmacsanet124]

What’s the part number for those 3 o-rings that goes onto the coolant bypass pipe ?

[@dannydevito6485]

Would you be able to Paste Links to all the parts? Or if you bought a kit link the kit?

[@CorneliusVeee]

I just added it to the description

[@dannydevito6485]

CorneliusVee My Guy 💪🏻

[@cammm69]

Has anyone been able to remove the cam gears without removing valve covers? I just did my valve cover gaskets and don’t wanna do it again to do the cam seals!!!!

[@lucianojanzen2171]

Can this be done in one day?

[@sym6oI]

Do you know where I can find a OEM 2003 is300 water pump? Like a legit website. Or is this kit a true OEM??

[@fcbrian2297]

Nice vid I used bump method but how did you time gears once pulley bolt was off?

[@CorneliusVeee]

I was able to grab the crank by hand and move it

[@lol-dw9ny]

Was all your parts oem?

[@AnthonyLivesTwice]

My advice if you want those cats to last long and continue to work when needed is to take them off and save it

[@kamaysun4140]

Great video! Im going to buy one within 2 months, this is defo a thing i wil do first🙌🏾 if i have any questions left, is it fine to give u a message?

[@eazzymoneyyy9271]

around how much to get a mechanic to do this vs doing it myself?

[@denizdemircan9928]

2000-2500

[@mackhouston6]

Question I have a Gs 300 do I time it with the dots or the lines I’m sure I can do it but I want to be sure where to line it up “2jz ge”

[@CorneliusVeee]

You can actually do it with either. Just make sure you remember which one you used and time it exactly to the same spot

[@mackhouston6]

@@CorneliusVeee how many times did you have to bump start it cuz I can’t get me crank bolt off for nothing lol

[@CorneliusVeee]

I only need to bump it once. But on a different motor I had to use the proper tool and a breaker bar

[@mackhouston6]

@@CorneliusVeee thanks for the info

[@Mirage1k]

Line it up with the lines

[@mozymi4399]

How'd you get it back to tdc after taking out the crank bolt?

[@brandon33371]

That’s what I’m thinking lmao homeboi said turn it back but we litterally took off what allows the timing to allign😂

[@THECARSHOWFEED]

You make it seem so easy. But my car is being a bitch

[@andrewgamboa5150]

Im scared

[@Patrick-vn4sb]

Lmao this comment made me laugh too much

[@jdub6797]

TDC is WRONG!!!! Use the service manual how to do this properly!!

[@jesusojeda6310]

Dam i was thinking I could do this . Looks like alot of stuff to take off

[@JuanGonzales-ef5hg]

Did you not change the VVti oring?! That will spray oil all over your engine compartment if you don’t and it goes out.

[@davidlizhiao]

Good job! I guess I gonna change my old 4runner timing belt myself

[@kyenlee8483]

how would you bump it if it’s an automatic?

[@victorf405]

If in changing the harmonic balancer I should go ahead and do the timing belt and water pump

[@shein360]

There’s sooo much just to replacing a water pump. I’m scared to touch the timing. I don’t wanna mess it up

[@BarberAutomotive]

You know you don’t have to hold the tensioner the whole time… get it off one pulley and let it fly!

[@ComprehendTheTruth]

haha i said the same thing when I saw him struggling

[@mmonty8492]

Hey man where are you located? I’m in the Bay Area and man I’d love to meet up with you and talk this stuff over if you’re down. I just got a gs300 and I wanted to do this service to it buts a pretty intimidating task to take on tbh it would be awesome if you could chat with me and maybe throw me a few extra pointers or something. If not no worries just thought it was worth asking. Have a good one man

[@angelito972]

What kind of harmonic Balancer pulley would you recommend ? I’ve already gone thru two kits none of them worked for me

[@sloth1992]

My IS 300 sprays oil all over the under part of my hood do you think this is probably the culprit?

[@titusthetitus2267]

Timing can be reset after everything is off and your ready to remove it.

[@keemy1boo]

What’s that tube called behind the water pump tht you replaced to orings on

[@jugginb9795]

what if my dashes dont line up on the timing covers?😬

[@poserantony1121]

im fucked when i gett my car, this shit is so confusing

[@dpm8763]

Did you go oem with the waterpump or after market ?

[@lol-dw9ny]

How about I jus pay you to do mines

[@zakkrick]

Whats the brand of your timing belt. I bought a Gates racing timing belt, which has a blue color timing belt too. wish i know how to do my own timing belt, have to pay an autoshop to do it

[@CorneliusVeee]

I bought gates racing

[@zakkrick]

Had my timing belt, water pump, new cams and every O ring seal done 4 months ago, no more oil leakage. Cost me 700 for the shop to do the timing belt job. I have a video clip on my page, press the purple Z

[@ManuelLopez-zl9qt]

What size breaker bar ?

[@amex7434]

How long did this take you

[@matteoramos5061]

Hii good vidéo ! Where have you buy the extractor for the pulley?

[@CorneliusVeee]

I rented it at my local autozone

[@LaosToaster]

Would you be able to replace the water pump with the exhaust manifold on the engine?

[@CorneliusVeee]

Yes! I just took it off to do other things

[@camaro7444]

Hey man great video but do you happen to know what size bolts were used with the harmonic balancer puller?

[@keemy1boo]

13mm on small bolts Nd 14mm on the balancer bolt

[@nando1736]

Do you know if I can do the bump method on an automatic 😬 lol looking to do this soon, watching you’re walkthrough got me hyped to tackle on the timing belt

It should work just make sure it doesn’t start

Thanks for this video brother, just hit 160k and ghata get this handled soon, this was very informative

[@OT_concerned_citizen]

Does crank pulley have to be at 0

[@srtwil9386]

Bro quick question. To spin the engine to top dead center. Did you have to put the rear tires off the ground?

[@CorneliusVeee]

Car needs to be in neutral but wheels don’t have to be off the ground.

[@srtwil9386]

@@CorneliusVeee great thanks man.

[@srtwil9386]

@@CorneliusVeee thanks man. How did you toque the damper bolt without the engine spinning. Last time When I did it engine was on a stand.

iv had everything replaced but the cam seals, is it possible to remove the cam gears to get to the seals without removing the timing belt?
