Excellent video series (three videos) that allowed me to do this all on my own. My only critiques are that you don't address re-installing the lower pulley, particularly the amount of torque to put on the bolt (125-132 ft./lbs, it turns out) and the torque for the timing belt tensioner (32-41 ft./lbs., it turns out). Thanks for the otherwise thorough instructions.

[@DK1102]

Dont drain the radiator via the orange plug. Take off the lower rad hose instead. If you do take the plug out, Go buy a new one. They are stocked items at most dealerships. It always happens where the old orange screw snaps off when you go to tighten it. Either buy a new one at the start or drain via thge lower hose. The old plug is almost always brittle and unusable after the constant heat cycles.

What an AWESOME job you did on this video project for us!!! I really appreciate the time and bother you took to make this quality tutorial. THANK YOU!!! I pray the Lord's great blessings on you and your family my friend. :) You are a blessing.

[@jeffreysandahl2597]

This is a great instructional! It saved me a ton of time figuring out the tricks and made this job sooo much easier. One additional tip for others, when you get all the way to the difficult wp gasket cleaning step, remove the motor mount bracket on the side of the engine. 3 bolts and the whole water pump gasket face is wide open to clean off.

[@myRatchets]

it all depends how long it takes you to clean the gasket for the water pump. If you dont take that into account it would take me about 1 and a half hours.

[@myRatchets]

Hmm, maybe the ac belt is loose? If you hear any loud chirping noise from the belt areas when you start the car or turn the wheels that could be it. Also whenever they take off that motor mount sometimes they dont torque it down enough so that could be it aswell. As far as if its acceptable or not, it all depends on your tolerance level and how bad it is :) GL

[@jacob4155]

Great video! I used nothing but the video to repair the timing belt and water pump on my 2005 Hyundai. Took me 5 hours but I got it done! Lucky the gasket for the water pump came right off and I didn't have to clean it at all. I didn't torque anything down according to specs, but instead winged it.... even though I probably shouldn't. Thanks!

[@frankd8204]

Thank you for your time and very detailed explanation and demonstration on how to perform this job. I just completed this work and it took my 4 and one half hours. I want to share a technique I used when reinstalling the water pump and alternator pulleys. Since the space is very limited, you will have a hard time aligning the pulley holes with those of the water pump as you indicated. I fabricated a guide from an old bolt that had the same threads as the water pump by cutting of the head. Then, I threaded the headless bolt onto the water pump and then slide the pulleys on. This ensured that the remaining three holes were aligned properly and that the pulleys were supported without me having to hold them in place. Then I screwed in three of the bolts, removed the threaded headless bolt, and then finished off by installing the fourth bolt. It worked perfectly as I was abkle to have not only the pulley supported by the small headless bolt, but also ensured that the holes were lined up, saved a lot of headache and time.

[@drew1965100]

great video - very clear and visible, good instructions

[@peterbowers2674]

Thanks for the great video. A couple of things I found when fitting the pulleys to the water pump. I made up a small guide stud, then put a small bit of white grease on the first pulley (this helps to hold it in place on the water pump), then fitted the second pulley, then fit a nut to the guide stud. This held it all together while fitting the bolts. Removed the nut & guide stud & fitted last bolt. Sounds like a bit of stuffing around, but those damn pulleys just wouldnt stay there. Cheers

[@BorderPaps]

Peter Bowers They were a bear! I jacked engine back up, then got one holes lined up. I put a small piece of newspaper on the head of each bolt and jammed the bolt into the socket with and extension attached. Then I started it by hand using the socket on the 1/4" extension. It's like having a magnetic socket to hold the bolt.

[@desertmango2458]

Is there a way to just look at the timing chain easily to see it's condition? We replaced it at 60,000 and have 140K now. What would a reasonable price be for replacement? Thanks for your expertise!

[@chriswithers568]

This engine has a timing belt. Timing chains very rarely need replacing unless they stretch or break completely. Belt life differs depending on the car but a rough estimate is usually around the 100-150k km mark or 60-90k mile. And price wise i couldnt answer that as i am outside the states in australia

[@yaderbustos4901]

Hello there! I like to ask you why did you changed the Water Pump and timing Belt. Was the Car Overheating? The timing belt that you removed to me looks like it was Ok!. I have the same car and for some reason water in the cooling system is not circulating and Keep blowing my radiator.

[@chriswithers568]

Could be thermostat, radiator, heater tap, blocked heater core, radiator hose, radiator cap, even your fans not working people. Can also be an air pocket in your cooling system if it wasnt bled correctly. It can be several things.

[@mendivil71]

If the timing belt broke, do you need to work on the head before you replace the timing belt or can you get away with just doing the belt?

[@chriswithers568]

If your timing belt breaks then youll have to pull of the head. Most likely you would have damaged a few, if not most of the valves, possibly other parts of the valvetrain. You also need to check pistons as you could have damaged then as well as possible damage tl cylinder walls and in rare circumstances piston rods(ive seen it happen once when a valve broke and fell into the cyclinder on compression stroke and it jammed the valve between the piston and top of the cylinder jamming up the rod and bending it. Its a castastrophic engine failure as youd be looking at a full engine rebuild

[@michaelsev.8042]

Finally a video that doesn't do the work for the step then say " I already did it, but just do this". Watched this 3 part a few times making sure to make notes, and another video where I learned a different trick or two. I was nervous to do the job, but have plenty of experience in working on my vehicle. Basically rebuilt it. Once the engine goes, I'll buy something new and try to rebuild the engine and look inside transmission. One trick I figured out since I didn't have the boxed ratchet wrench here at job time was to loosen the water pump bolts. Then after belts removed, use my 10 mm boxed end wrench (short because of size) end to go onto the pump and turn the pump in clockwise direction by hand to speed up removal. That area is sure tight like you said. Took me a lot longer, but the job got done. Awaiting new belts now to call it completed 100% but she runs so much nicer!. Just under 240,000 km (150,000 miles) on engine. Previous owner hadn't maintained anything. Lots of small cracks throughout the belt. I think I got it done just in time. My issue was using a comment of 32- 41 ft lbs for tension bolt. Mine snapped off at 36. Had to order new one from dealer. Proper torque is 16.6 to 21 as per printed sheets from dealer shop. Thank you again for taking the time and putting in so much detail in all of your videos.

The Hyundai dealer wants to change my timing belt for $500, even though there is nothing wrong with it. My car has 35,000 miles. What should I do?

[@myRatchets]

John DeMeo 35K miles is way too soon! I dont know what year is your Hyundai, but generally its every 60-80K miles. You might want to do a google search and find out what its the exact interval for you year/model. But I seriously doubt its 35k. gl

[@johnd1216]

RatchetsAnd Wrenches It's a 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring GLS. I bought it in December 2009. I drive only about 8,000 miles per year. I did a search as you recommend. They say 60,000 miles or four years, whatever comes first. The dealer wants $500 for the job. He also wants $90 for rear break service, even though my brakes work fine. I never know if they are playing me. Thanks for your help!

[@ereeves116]

John DeMeo I still think that sounds too soon for your timing belt. Every 4 years is probably just to be safe but I think that's a little too early. If you have rear drums, a brake service is a good idea. It will keep your drum brakes quiet. They're going to clean it all up, grease the moving parts, and adjust your shoes properly.

It would be easier to just replace the timing belt only , it gets confusing for rookies Mechanics when the water pump is included.....I know how to line up the marks on top , do you keep turn to the right to line line the lower marks ??? And when those lines are line up ?? You are done with the time belt ???

[@popcornshiner3937]

+Jose DeJesus yes it is easier and saves time. BUT then you bolt it all together drive for a while then your Idler pully gives up then your water pump shit's it's self, good practice to save time and money will tell you to do the lot in first hit then you have piece of mind.

[@jacksonhokanson7130]

I need to do a leak down test and need an air compressor for the leak down test kit. I figure I might as well buy a compressor that can power future tools instead of a small one that only works for leak down testing. I noticed you use a lot of harbor freight tools in your videos. I wanted to start using air tools. I was thinking of buying the earthquake impact I saw in your video. I repair my own vehicles, engine and suspension work mostly. Which air compressor would you recommend? Did you get the harbor freight air compressor for that impact? Which impact is the most useful (1/2, 3/8, 3/4)?

[@rajm5244]

Thank you very much for diy video, I am in process of changing the timing belt, water pump, idler, tensioner, alternator belt and a/c compressor belt. Before i take out the old timing belt, i did place camshaft and crankshaft on the top death center position and checked it about 5 or more times.Came to the part of putting on timing belt.I started the timing belt by wrapping around at the crankshaft gear, pass the idler pulley and then wrapping the timimg belt around the camshaft. Tied the timing belt to the right of UP hole so there is no slack and had a little slack on tensioner side. When i placed the tensioner hand tight before i started using the allen key to hold it and tighten it, I noticed that my the white mark on crankshaft does not align with finger on the body and the hole at UP sign camshaft have moved to the right about two or three mm. This is where i made a mistake, i put on the crankshaft bolt and turned about 2 revolution hoping to align the camshaft by turning the crankshaft. I forget to put the belt on when i turned the crankshaft clockwise .Now both crankshaft and camshaft are misaligned. The question is how do i realign camshaft and crankshaft to get "Top Death Center", knowing that the alignment between crankshaft and camshaft need to be in sync. Please provide some steps. Thank you.

[@chriswithers568]

TDC only applies to the crank. It refers to the postion of the pistons in relation to what cycle the engine is in. Intake, comlression, power and exhaust TDC means the number one piston is at the top of its stroke. The belt alligns the cam and crankshaft. The camshaft controls your valves. A camshaft has lobes in specific postions that, as the camshaft rotates, opens and closes specific valves depending on what pistons are where and what the firing order of the car is. It could be cylinder 1-3-2-4 or cylinder 1-4-3-2. It varies. The purpose of align the camshaft and crank to the correct postions is so that the pistons dont crash into the valves. At no.1 cyinder TDC both inlet and exhaust valves are closed. If the cams arent lined up properly then one valve will be slightly open. And can cause major damage depending on what design engine you have. To realign the cam and crank youd have to set the crank at no1. TDC (with the head off) and then put the head back on once the camshaft is lined up with the correct mark(and the no1 inlet and exhaust valves are fully shut)

[@MrSmiley1958]

I have a 2000 Hyundai Elantra, died on my wife while driving, thought it was the battery, so we tried to jump it, then tried starting it, ended up taking it to a garage, and they said it was the timing belt, is there anyway to find out if the valves are bent without opening up the cover?

[@myRatchets]

pretty much the valves are guaranteed to be bent, if you want you can have them put a timing belt on and see if the car runs. If money is an issue I would just buy a used cylinder head and have them install it if money is not than you should rebuild your head. You can get good deals on ebay, some good deals on rebuild ones too. GL

[@chriswithers568]

Pull the valvr cover off and turn the engine ove by hand. See if all the valves are mlving freely. Also if you cant turn the engine over 1 full turn then that would indicate it. But yes most likely you would have thrown a valve

[@CJTdavidson11]

Did you put the passenger side on a jack stand or both. Also asking Zach Sanchez's question again. If you don't have an impact wrench is this not doable???

[@chriswithers568]

Its best to jack both sides up and put a jack stand under each side. Dont put them under the jacking points, place them under crossmembers/any solid point under chassis. Once the car is on jack stands and level, use the floor jack to support the engine sump with a block of wood between the jack plate and sump. If you dont have a impact gun, crack the nuts prior to lifing the car. Otherwise your tire will just spin and you cant get the nuts undone. Also you run thr risk of shaking the car off the jack stands as you will no doubt cause the car to rock if you use too much force loosening the nuts by hand. Seen this done and it is very damgerous and very costly!

[@chriswithers568]

Also when jacking up the sump you dont have to "jack up" the engine. It is purely there to support the engine once the mount is undone. You can still cause damage if you jack it up. Once the jack is touching the sump, lock it off and leave it where it is. As well as possibly causeing damage you will add pressure onto the mount by forcing it up, so when you go to under the nuts you can run the risk of shifting the engine further up then should be making it. More difficult to bolt the mount back on when putting the car back together

[@mollym1694]

Great video! My question is,what if the timing belt fails while driving the car,does it damage other parts of the engine?If so, what other items would have to be replaced? Thanks!!

[@myRatchets]

If the belt fails while driving an interference engine (most engines including this Elantra engine), your valves will hit your pistons and get damaged. There is also about a 10% chance they will also damage the pistons, you will have to remove the cylinder head to replace the valves and get the head machined and also to see if there is damage to the pistons/cylinder walls, if there is you mind as well get another engine. Tx for your comment.

[@chriswithers568]

And if youre really unlucky you could damage some rods 😬

[@FranzKrammer4746]

after driving an Elantra i was surprised that the timing belt did not need replacing on a Mazda3.... I'm curious how you would know when to replace it on the new 2L 173hp engine...guessing 5 years 50,000 miles but things could have improved since...why not a timing chain that lasts longer???

[@chriswithers568]

Owners manual should state the service intervals for timing belts

[@chriswithers568]

And also timing chain and belts are located differently. Timing belts are a lot easier and less messy to change. Timing chains sit inside the engine as they need circulating oil to lubricate the chain. Belts are positioned outside the block so that they are easier to change and no need to open up the engine to change it. On most vehicles to change a timing chain and/or guides the cylinder head needs to be removed which involves inlet/exhaust manifolds off, injector rails, throttle bodys, thermostat housings, wiring, plugs, coils and other miscellaneous items. The cylinder heads wont need to be machined if they are within tolerance but if the head bolts are removed incorrectly they will require maching. You will also require an entire new gasket set and headbolts. To change a timing belt you just have to do a lot less.

[@chriswithers568]

However... Replacing timing chains and guides without removing heads can be done be it is very difficult in most circumstances.

[@datchulo1085]

Is it difficult to replace the cam and crank seal?

[@BorderPaps]

datchulo1085 No, it is very easy. The crank gear has a "key" that has to be removed. It looks like a peg that you pull straight out, but actually it is shaped like a 1/2 moon and you pull it out and to the side at the same time with a pair of vice grips and it comes right out. I just beat a small screwdriver through the seal a couple of times and then popped it out (be careful not to touch or buggar up the edges of metal that aren't removed). Spray a lil brake cleaner in the cavity and wipe with a Q tip. Put some oil on the seal and push in. Once seated, get a large socket or 1 1/2" pfd pipe and tap it the rest of the way in.

***** Back in the early 90s my dad had a Mercury Capri and the little thing in the center of the steering wheel said Ford. By the way, is Kia owned by Hyundai?

[@frugalprepper]

Yes they are the same company, they do have separate assembly lines for them though. They are right across the street from each other in Korea. However more than half of their cars are made in the USA these days.

[@robmalcolm8042]

@@frugalprepper yeah the usa ones are horrible compared to korean counterparts. All the bad things I hear about them now is from usa models. Mines korean made and hasn't had none of that engine issue crap and mind you it's a 2005

If I don't have an impact wrench is this not doable?

[@BorderPaps]

I just did it. Do a search on KZbin for how to take crank pulley off without an impact wrench. Basically, if your engine turns clockwise, put a breaker bar on and turn the breaker bar clockwise until it stops on firm part of car (i.e. Frame...). Put something behind it to hold it against the firm part of the car without any gaps. Then remove a wire to ignition coil or unplug spark plugs or something to make sure the car won't actually start. Turn the key real quick. That's it. I had to try it 3 times and it finally broke loose. Prior to that I had tried my electric impact wrench, but it didn't work. Hope this helps someone.

If it doesnt crank you can jam a screwdriver between the pulley and block and then put pressure against the pulley and crack the nut loose

Hey

[@sweetwilliam49]

Is this an interference or non interference engine?

[@tylerross9706]

Mt man 1949 interference

[@robmalcolm8042]

All Hyundais are but many newer years have a chain instead of a belt which helps that fact. There's one older kia model from early 2000s tho that's non-interference engine and it's basically a hyundai.
