When doing the timing, make sure to set the crank pulley to zero to not get any VVTi problems.

Jonny The Car Doctor kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWqyqmaQa6d7fqs can you help me

[@gmen0521]

Jonny The Car Doctor i recently bought an 01 is300. had timing belt service done by my buddys shop. but gpt it back with a check engine light on and trac off flashing read the code and its a vvti solenoid code. you think they might have set it at 10 and this could be causing the light. i already replaced the vvti solenoid 2 times with new one and light wont go away.

[@morrie4489]

didnt you set it to 10 in this video?

[@mtejada1]

You don't understand how helpful this video was. I'm doing this next weekend because my crank seal is leaking oil. The timing mark part was confusing reading it off of alldata. But now that I saw you explaining it! I'm 100% ready. Thanks again for doing this video. Im sure it'll help thousands. All the other video on here don't really explain the steps well and the quality sucks.

[@transnd]

Dayco is not OEM, and you should vacuum out recess before removing spark plug. A complete job would include cam and crank seal replacement, as well as thermostat (all included with oem kit). Since the valve covers come off for cam seals, you may as well replace plugs, wires and coil packs since they have to come off for valve covers. Also a chance to clean throttle body and flush radiator and engine (just need a garden hose).

[@jcup2sumthin]

Just saw this episode. I have an '04 IS300, and from what I saw, this was pretty helpful! Keep up the good work, bro!!!

[@dirtyvet5404]

You have a strong following who appreciates your info. I began today the 'tear-down' of the engine and separation of the transmission for all necessary maintenance before install. I have not found a video on the oil pump replacement yet. I would like to. Thank you for your video. This is going to save me a lot of time.

Hello did u set the pulley to 10 degrees or 0 degrees

[@zakkrick]

I Just did my timing belt and everything else, I’ve paid 700 for the job at the shop, might be a lot but it’s worth it. They did a great job, no more oil leaks from the oil seals, the timing belt got 235,000 miles it, so it about time it was changed. Better the shop do it than me messing it up

[@rigzz]

So I'm doing my timing belt. I've read and watched countless articles and videos on timing. The cam gear is set on the dash mark (not the dot) VVTI gear is also on the dash mark (not the dot) Crankshaft Pulley is also on the dash All three are aligned to respective markings. I rotated the motor by hand. First 360 degree rotation, both cam gear and VVTI gear marking where at the bottom. Another 360 degree turn (720° turn) and all marking are TDC. While rotating the engine, it was smooth. Didn't feel like valves touched. I understand this is an interfering engine. Just want to make sure. First time doing the timing belt on any car.

[@andrewlachapelle4]

Huge thank you for this video I was having trouble with my 2001 IS300, engine rumbling and stiff brakes. Brought it to a mechanic and he told me Mechanic says it's leaking oil into the engine at a bad rate and that the VVT Solonoid needs replacing and he says that pil is leaking bad into the cam sensor and it needs a new chain, as well as new spark plugs and oil filter. He gave me an estimate at 2100 which is way too expensive for me! Been watching some videos and other forums and it seems obvious I can save a ton of $ by doing it myself. Also I'm a little skeptical when it comes to the leaking oil, as I haven't seen oily smoke out of my exhaust not seen oil leaking at all, so we will see when I take it apart.

Good job kid....looking good!

[@carstuff4260]

FYI, for vvti 1jz and 2jz motors there are 2 sets of marks which are slashes and dots. Line up the dots with the slashes on the back covers. Put the timing belt on and tensioner. Rotate the crank twice by hand and the lines should all line up with the slashes and not the dots. If you dont do it this way you can bend a valve because the piston is at tdc. The VVTI gear may be slightly off and thats why there are dots. It moves the piston of of tdc placing a gap between the pistons and valves.

[@ayeitme6773]

Car Club Auto ... do you have a video of this ?

[@zaytyga]

I'm curious as to why not align up the slashes on the cam gears first along with the slash on the crank gear.? Because from I've viewed and heard from various sources, that's actually the wrong thing to do (align with dots)

[@MB-rv9dx]

Jonny The Car Doctor is the Dayco kit good? I'm gonna order one not sure what brand

[@hansgruper872]

Quick tip for people doing this themselves.....order a kit in which the tensioner pulley has a red ring around it. The OEM pulley has 2 sets of bearings inside of it, and has a red ring. The green ring pulley only has one line of bearings and tend to fail earlier.

[@MB-rv9dx]

Hans Gruper which kit you recommend? Does the Dayco kit have this?

[@hansgruper872]

M B The Dayco kit only has one set of bearings. I recommend the Gates kit, or kits with GMB parts. They are very good and are actually stock parts on some other vehicles. You can go OEM Aisin, but that's kinda pricey. I ordered the DNJ TBK952WP. It's a reputable brand for a good price.

[@MB-rv9dx]

Hans Gruper I was told GMB and other Chinese parts are not that great, is DNJ Chinese? Never heard of it

[@MB-rv9dx]

Also does it cost a lot more in labor to have the crank and cam seals replaced during timing belt and water pump replacement? Also replacing valve covers?

[@hansgruper872]

M B GMB is an OEM supplier for some companies. DNJ is Japanese. I have run things like oil pumps and bearings from them. Always satisfied. As for the seals, yes it will cost more. You have to take off most of the intake to access the valve covers.

[@ruleroftheundersky570]

Heh... Shit... My 2000 GS300 is nearing roughly 209,500 miles... No maintenance records anywhere to be found... Not even a timing belt maintenance sticker... The car is still going strong even with the odds stacked against; 20+ year old timing belt, and oil leaks. Yes. I'm working towards getting the timing belt, oils seals, and water pump, etc done here very soon hopefully. Been buying up the parts which are OEM; this is why it'll take me longer - they cost more, and can be hard to find at times. I'm also going to be refreshing the front end suspension as it has a clunking when braking off, and on. Hunting down OEM suspension parts is hard, and expensive... What can I say... I'm stubborn. Here's a picture on the ol' thing. Still looks good for being 20 years old in this picture: scontent-ort2-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/87455604_2748303235206624_288474128430661632_o.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=2&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=tyj1jRZIaRQAX9bRwSk&_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-2.xx&oh=a52bc148b122ca5ecc634147d69f353f&oe=60215AFC

If my timing is over advanced, what is the correct way to put it back to TDC? Simply rotate the cam gears or crank pulley with no belt on back to TDC?

[@chompymac2943]

Where you get pliers?? What size are?? Only left that for change my water pump

[@NinoSwavae]

What kind of gasket maker were u using

[@TheRacingEar]

I own an IS 300 and it is awesome to see the work being done to replace the timing belt. I have an oil leak that is coming out of the cam seals and I have to replace the timing belt and water pump in order to get the cam seals changed out. So a timing belt job on the 2jz engine should be replacing the timing belt, water pump, and cam seals. Is there anything else that should be changed out? You should also wear eye protection!! Great videos!!

[@JonnyBarajas]

A bad pulley would also need to be replaced, but only in the event that the pulley is bent or is causing vibrations.

[@TheRacingEar]

Cool.

[@250plate]

Why didn't you line up the crank pull Top Dead Center mark with the 10 degrees mark on the lower timing belt cover? I know it doesn't matter since it should be still on the right timing but when you go back to work on it, the pulleys will not line up.

[@JonnyBarajas]

I had no idea the timing had been advanced manually from the stock config. After lining up the timing at 0, some of the pulleys didn't line up. I just wanted to explain that in the video for those people who bought theirs second hand.

[@JonnyBarajas]

It's a job that can be done by a highly skilled mechanic, but there is a possibility of the timing skipping a gear. Both cam gears need to be removed it attempted this way.

[@anikateganju5084]

The Car Doctor so today I tried doing what I wrote^^^ and unfortunately, I wasn't able to remove the cam pulleys or get the timing belt back on. the pulleys aren't set to the mark on top, and the timing belt is already off the top part. what do you suggest I do to save my timing? my belt is not connected to the cam pulleys

[@anikateganju5084]

just an add on: I removed the top part of the timing belt(on top of cam pulleys) without removing serpentine belt or anything. just opened the hood, marked my timing(didn't set to 0 or anything of that sort), and pulled off timing belt. no gears moved. am I OK? to continue removing serpentine and all the other accessories and replacing timing belt?

[@JonnyBarajas]

that sounds good, just remember that you piston has the possibility of hitting your valves. Don't force the gear too much while aligning the timing marks.

[@anikateganju5084]

I'm not going to move anything. Just going to leave everything the way it is and attach my new timing belt. As long as I do that, will I be fine?

[@anikateganju5084]

why do we need to set up the timing mark to 0 or 10? Why can't i just leave the crank and cam the way it is and put the belt on and continue the timing cycle from where I left off last?

[@JonnyBarajas]

In theory you should be able to remove and replace the belt without moving the gears, but when removed, tension is released and can throw the timing off and has to be redone from point 0 again, unfortunately.

[@anikateganju5084]

The Car Doctor when I removed my timing belt, nothing moved or anything. I didn't even set it to 0 before removing timing belt. So is my timing OK if none of the gears have moved? can I just put my new timing belt on and my timing will pick up where it last left off?

currently doing this right now, I'm at the part where I need to put my new timing belt on now, but it's such a pain in the ass! my friend and i have been pulling and prying for 2 hours trying to get the belt on, it's so tight. I know I have the right belt because it's the same size as the OEM belt and when I ordered it, it said it was specifically for a 2jzge, PLEASE HELP!!

[@JonnyBarajas]

You might have to compress the belt tensioner and place its included pin in its pin hole to hold the tensioner in place. After that you should be able install the timing belt and release the pin to hold it in place.

[@anikateganju5084]

The Car Doctor included PIN? where do I get this pin? also what do I do after inserting it in the hole?

[@JonnyBarajas]

the pin is part of the tensioner and should only be removed to lock it in place. Don't know exactly where you would get another if its missing. After inserting it, the compressed tensioner should give you enough space to install the belt, and remove it to revert the tensioner to it previous state.

If you bought the kit specifically for your car it should fit. I believe Aisin is Toyota oem. Maybe they gave you a wrong part number. Mechanic might want to rip you off.

[@cheyennemaxwell4697]

Aisin-warner is most known as a transmission manufacturer. Dayco is probably less expensive and comes in a complete kit their belts are reliable. Aisin transmissions also are made for several different auto manufacturers. Always inspect new parts compared to the old part to make sure dimensions are accurate. Auto supply stores do not always stock the correct replacement parts.

[@Mr.grubby]

I did this but now my car cranks but no start

[@HOTRODRICO]

timing is off

[@jamesbond-fe9eu]

This video was very helpful... till the part you started playing music.. Nothing from that point on made any sense... The marks for the timing belt were all off... I'm not trying to mess my car up... any chance of a do over or at least an explanation... It's easy taking things apart, it's the putting back together that's hard... and you played music...... thanks?!

[@JonnyBarajas]

The music marks the point where im just putting it all back together, nothing to talk about really. This car had the timing advanced when I got it, I just didn't put the timing back to factory settings.

[@jamesbond-fe9eu]

Jonny The Car Doctor so the timing can be put back however ? so it doesn't matter ? I'm willing to try it if you can put your rep on the line and tell me it will work and my pistons won't bend

[@jamesbond-fe9eu]

Look bro your guides for the most part are helpful and detailed and people appreciate it but this video is gonna cause someone, who's not sure what they're doing, mess up their car.... good day to you

[@JonnyBarajas]

this video is just a general Idea. I'm not a certified mechanic or anything, I've just been doing this for years. My way may not be the best way to tackle the situation.

[@MBZS500]

why did you stop explaining towards the end of the video and started playing music?

[@JonnyBarajas]

You just put it back together, nothing much else to say.

[@lucygelz]

@@JonnyBarajas what is the torque spec for the crank pulley bolt

[@hasanaldhwaea1052]

Man that's not a mechanic hand .. so soft and annoying to watch

[@Rockman__]

Hasan Amir why are you here then?

[@ArtistryAuto]

When I remove the crank pulley will it move the crank out of time? How do I make sure is good

[@GuAp_JZ]

Generally this will happen with the amount of force it takes to remove the bolt. After you remove the crank pulley put the bolt back in the crank hand tight and turn it back to TDC. There is a small dipple on the timing gear ⚙ that will align perfectly to the dipple on the oil pump when your back to TDC.
