[@Juicespec]

I have a single cam can I set the crank to tdc and rotate the cam forward or backwards so it lines up to the mark safely without contact? Thanks

hey if i replace my intake cam timing gear do I need to replace my timing chain? 2012 toyota camry rattle noise when i start n drive also when i start it kinda sounds like its flooding? if that makes sense. one shop said my timing chain is loose I take it to toyota they say my chain wasnt stretched but it could be something within it but my intake timing def needs to be replaced.Was it possible for me just to replace the gears without the chain? Im potentially spending 4k on a repair i might not even need man this shit sucks. Said its too late to put the old chain back on I have to go thru with the chain + the gears but told me the gears was the cause of the rattling. Does that explain how my car starts rough too? ugh any reliable answer would be appreciated atp im pissed cause this couldve been a huge waste of money

[@train4905]

Superb😊

[@camlobesvtec]

I threw off my timing on a kseries, rotating the crankshaft pulley the wrong way to find tdc lol lesson learned

[@Teeskates]

How did you fix it ?

[@yomomma5421]

You dont

[@camlobesvtec]

Sorry for delayed response. I went back with Honda OEM timing chain, auto tensioner, chain guides, all worked well. Everything is marked on the k series in regard to timing. Find top dead center, lock the cam shafts in place, install the new chain, I think the chain has markings too. Easy but a pain. After installing rotate the engine manually and check the marks. Everything should be aligned or very close at tdc.

I have a 2009 ford Taurus 3.5 v6 with only 58,000 miles it started making a weird noise coming from the upper compartment I think one of my phasers when bad causing my timing chain to skip.what you think?do you think is worth fixing or should I trash the car.

[@youdontknowmyname6956]

Do you have a video on how to do a compression test like you mentioned towards the end of the video?

[@youdontknowmyname6956]

I was doing a timing chain on my 2007 f150 4.6 2v. The driverside cam sprocket shifted on me when I torqued it down. I moved it back to what I think is the correct location. The chains lined up and I was able to get everything in place. I used the crank bolt to turn the engine without any of the covers on and I didn't receive any resistance. I checked the cylinders to make sure the pistons & valves weren't hitting everything looked and felt good. I just want to make sure everything is correct before I put everything back together and try to turn it over.

[@hkdwee4200]

Will it crank and no start have an 04 acura tl probably i moved it changing my alternator cause i had place my alternator wrong to where whenever i started the car the belt would just slip off lol hopefully its just the timing

[@gregorytosh8372]

Hello thanks for the info 👊🏾💪🏾 Just want to ask if the timing chaîne fails is the motor dammaged ? . Or better à New motor ?

[@Top5AutoRepairs]

It will fail for an interference engine.

[@abelgonzaslez2103]

[@amethystaquariusglendagree1070]

After having a serpentine belt installed my Subaru Legacy GT Limited ran great but next day is missing is it possible the guy accidentally hit it somehow? Totally different car from first day after installation to the second day. Acts like it has bad gas which it sat for a month. I'm so tired of dealing with this crap but I love my car.

[@hjkjccdggjhvb]

how do u move the sprocket back to the mark if it's off... ?

[@sannishaibu2716]

Thanks I for this video I learnt...pls what about often cutting of timing belt 🙏😩

[@1uZed_]

will misfires be random or can it just be 1 cylinder

[@nicholasotero-andrews3642]

Changed both camshafts and O2 sensor which read on the reader…. It tries to start but won’t turn over… any idea?

[@rstuff1605]

My 2ar-fe motor sounded like it had advanced timing after I blipped it at 4500 after revs were falling while in neutral or did I bend a valve so u can hear the intake more but sounds slightly unsmooth going to redline 😐

[@Top5AutoRepairs]

Stay tune for the next video "How to tell your valves are bent."

[@bigfeetsmallbody7027]

Hi i have a 2005 Acura TL and I put the crankshaft at where TDC should marked, but both of my sprockets are off by 4 teeth to the left? Do I just move both sprockets to the right where they should be aline while leaving the crankshaft at 12 o’clock ?

[@Top5AutoRepairs]

Correct. Go clockwise.

[@Jose-wq9nv]

I have a 2001 mitsubishi eclipse gt v6 3.0. While putting the timing belt back on, the left rear fire wall cam jump a quarter turn to the right clock wise due to the pressure from the valve spring. Do I just turn it back counter clock wise which will be a lot of pressure to move back?

[@Top5AutoRepairs]

It's fine. You can turn it counter clockwise.

[@emmacosier1487]

Hi I have a 1.9 astra timing belt snapped whilst pulling out of my road I changed the belt car starts but there's a gun shot type of noise and puffs of smoke and then car dies

[@irisbaez1972]

Hi. I have a question for you: What if the camshaft mark is aligned with the sprocket and the Crankshaft mark is aligned with the mark at the oil pump, but the mark on the Balancer is not aligned with the timing cover plastic mark called T? ---- The car is Elantra 2008 2.0L. could this create a vibration on the steering wheel? No code or Engine light on ever.

[@Top5AutoRepairs]

It should be fine as long there is no reluctor ring on the harmonic balancer which is for timing for some vehicles like Ford.

[@CrotchetRocket]

@@Top5AutoRepairs can u explain a little more on this?

[@alvarolopezjr6635]

I had my oil changed, and the people that did it didn't put enough of it on my 08 tundra, so I rode on it on low pressure without noticing till I had a rattle when I cold started it, it goes away within 3 seconds but it's still annoying, has anybody ever had that issue? If so what was it? I'm trying to get it fix even though the engine runs good

[@dudebud007]

what is most likely going on when Im hearing miss-fire like noises (was told it could be fuel knock) during acceleration but only ones the car gets to operating temperature ? ? ? its been like that a year drives me f-ing nuts ! help man !

[@dsavage8751]

I forsure got jumped timing on this z32 I bought from the auction. I thought it was fuel cause it was crank no start but when you squirt gas in the throttle bodies, the shoot flames out the throttle bodies and the compression is all over the place

[@Forever_abis]

Shit I'm definitely gonna try that after knowing the symptoms of jumping trimming

[@Forever_abis]

Timing

[@AppleAK47-sf4ev]

My 2006 Honda Accord Ex jumped timing by 2 or 3 teeth due to a failed tensioner. It had a weird knocking type of sound. I replaced the timing belt and tensioner and boom, the car ran fine after I adjusted the timing back in time of course. I was worried the engine might of screwed the engine.

[@dannp9026]

I was hearing my car do the same thing it would shake hard. After I did spark test and air compression using brake cleaner it started to knock then it went away the next day I recently did get a water pump and timing belt replaced I’m thinking maybe my timing belt wasn’t set correctly it lasted a few days then it picked up a p0344 code then my car lost power and it eventually wouldn’t start.

[@Oladapofrank]

Car engine was cutting out, it would jerk and then a few seconds after the jerk the engine went off like it was shut off by the driver, I'd turn it back on and it would start back up instantly and still repeat few minutes after, this happens regardless if i was idling in traffic or just have it on to warm up in my garage. So i got it scanned and it was a crankshaft code, replaced it and the same issue still persisted, prior to this a mechanic replaced the fuel pump and that wasn't it. Scanned it again and then it showed some CAMSHAFT code, i think P0011, they were changed and the random engine cut outs stopped, but this came with new problems, hard starting, and the car hesitated to move when i stepped on the gas, also would shake if in Drive D but in traffic (stationary) shaking would stop if engine ran and engaged in park P or i started to move, also the exhaust was shaking, not violently but it was. I took it back home feeling unsatisfied but then the next day i restarted it and it wouldn't start back up, what's weird now is i hear an usual sound while cranking the engine, i see the belts roll the accessories but it won't start up, this sound i speak of is around the head of the engine, i have a 2009 V6 Hyundai sonata, I'd appreciate your advice, I'm thinking the timing chain, now i have P0335, still a timing code

[@shaneomac5074]

Yep my 4.6 town car jumped timing yesterday and started backfiring real bad, don’t even know if it’s worth trying to fix, if it’s just timing chain I can fix that but if it damaged valves and pistons id rather just get a junkyard motor

[@catsmeow3478]

My timing belt jumped last year on the highway with no indicators lit, trashed the header and overheated the engine. Replaced with a used engine, same number of miles 74k, now I'm having the exact same problem with the "new" engine. 🙄

[@howardbelden-yb1vs]

My2006 V6 Ford mustang is off timing my crank shaft is tdc but my cams r not even with the heads how do I fix

[@Top5AutoRepairs]

Rotate the camshaft until timing is aligned at the mark

[@jimmybiller1119]

Changed timing belt one cam shaft off how do I fix it

[@ambermay4098]

Is the car supposed to run hot also?

[@Zach-tg5of]

Can the timing cause the engine to pop while it’s running? I have that problem on my truck it just recently started. When it’s running it’s constantly popping and speeds up as the engine revs up

[@italia3929]

Did you figure this out?

[@johncollins8304]

I've got spark, fuel and compression, clean maf, throttle crank and cam sensors. 2005 Corsa C (90+k) still won't run more than a few seconds..I'm told the chain may have jumped. I've ordered a timing kit but that was before I saw videos of stripping down engines in well- equipped professional garages... Please tell me I don't have to do all that. Please..

[@panzerichi3837]

U would have lost compression in one cylinder or more if timing jumped or broke

[@johncollins8304]

@@panzerichi3837 That's great to know! In the meantime I've given up and got the garage to pick it up. After a week he couldn't find anything (checked to see if the cat was blocked). Found oil in the ECU connector. Coming from oil pressure switch which I had replaced recently since il was yeukky with oil. He cleaned the connector, after which the motor ran much longer. He sent the ECU off a coupla weeks ago for testing. France is closed for holidays in August so I have to be patient... Thanks again for your input.

[@eda8846]

I changed timing belt a week ago on my 2.0L vw mk4 2009, everything was pretty but now I hear a clicking sound when engine starts for a few minutes and after car warms up the clicking sound disappears, I feel the sound comes from timing belt or somewhere inside the engine but really hard to tell. Any ideas?

[@jan5818]

had you already solved the issue? I have the very same problem now! Would really helps if you tell me. Thank you

[@eda8846]

@jan5818 ..Yes i did solve the issue after a few inspections, my issue was that the plastic cover that sets over the timing belt was not installed properly and one of its metal locks off limit after a few tries it was all seated in right place, there could be other issues cause that clicking sound, try visually inspecting everything but if issue persist to be fixed get a VW specialized mechanic and they could easily detect the cause before getting into more damage, good luck

[@dannp9026]

If my timing is off by a tooth or two is that bad if the issue is corrected will it start up?

[@skip741x3]

usually not a problem, except for lower compression in that bank of cylinders and a small loss in power... If the engine is a non interference, no damage done, just realign the marks... if its an interference engine,,slipping any more than a tooth or 2 could be catastrophic as risk of valves hitting pistons can occur... most interference engines can tolerate a small variable in timing.. should be ok...

[@MatovuRonald-ej5vk]

Can a car hard start when the timing is wrong

[@panzerichi3837]

If timing is off etc, will it have no compression in all cylinders or just some? I have no compression in 4 cylinders half in one and full in last? Please help😅

[@Top5AutoRepairs]

If timing is off. All cylinders will have similar readings.

[@hjkjccdggjhvb]

so all the timing has to be on the mark to make the car run right, what about the timing chain, can i put the chain back on anyways ... or does it have a mark on it also

[@Top5AutoRepairs]

I don't see it as an issue if the timing chain is backward. Timing mark must be lined up prior to installing the timing chain. If you're not sure about timing marks, look at the timing chain. The link will be colored. That is where the mark is at on the timing chain.

[@hjkjccdggjhvb]

@@Top5AutoRepairs got it thanks..

[@Endless_Venom]

What happens if you have all 3 aligned with the timing marks but when you go manually turn the shaft it can only turn 180 degrees then it completely stops? Like you can no longer turn clockwise or counterclockwise? It was able to turn continuously but once the belt was replaced and all markings are were they are suppose to be, it no longer turns. only that 180 degrees I've mentioned. Thanks in advance

[@dadinasrt9996]

You have bent valves in the heads bro

I'm fucking believable I watch videos on my bike every fucking day I don't know how I never seen this video my bike just blew up yesterday if I would have seen this video it wouldn't have it was backfiring everybody kept telling me that's normal for those bikes...... It's exactly what I kept thinking I think it backfires because it's out of timing but everybody kept telling me no that's normal no it wasn't normal it was backfiring because it was out of timing and then it jumped again I see this video is old how did I not see this video before I have literally searched hundreds of times why does the Honda VTR superhawk backfire...... all I had to do was see this video and I would have known that all I need to do is fucking get a new timing tensioner and put my bike back into timing that's why it was backfiring it's so weird I literally look everyday why doesn't pop up the day after my bike blows up weird

Great video. Been driving 2000 miles with a bad timing chain. How bad is that? I’m scared I may have done dmg but let’s hope not. Only 62k miles total.

It's risky. It should be replaced asap.

Air you should replace it once you got fund. You don't want to wait long until your timing belt snapped on the highway doing 90 mph like me smfh.
