The video of the removal process is edited very well. You get the sense of how many fasteners need to be removed without having to sit through the entire process.

[@Clamlifenc]

That’s a lot of work, I appreciate your time to show us how it work, thanks

[@curtismorrison8171]

Although I am not fixing vehicles, I still love these videos.

[@wesfields9322]

1uz engine has to be one of the easiest engines to work on a timing belt. Lexus/toyota been doing it for a long time now and still going strong. Glad this owner is trying to keep this relic alive.

[@ZayedGR]

Did u changed front main seal

[@williammouri1096]

I think that belt was counterfeit. That would have been a disaster for someone with less experience. Great video as always!! Excellent.

[@mikepotter4141]

I commited to doing mine today and all the hoses and plugs are brittle. Age really turned this into trading problems. That said, I'm glad videos like yours exist to help the job along.

[@SickAddictions]

9:19 The reason the belt did not line up is because the crankshaft line on the belt is actually supposed to go on the underside of the sprocket, there is a little dot on the bottom at TDC. 2nd time doing a timing belt on a 1uz and I reference your video all the time!

[@JonnyDIY]

Great job Eman! 👍 that lil AirCat seemed to really speed up the job and thanks for sharing the tip about lining the stuff up in order of removal. Problem with me is I've never had a garage 😆 just a driveway and I put all the parts back in car or box. I usually take pictures though. And now make videos so can always look back through footage if stumped

[@MyWolffy]

Yea I’m pretty sure the marks didn’t line up only because the belt was backwards lol but you’re right it doesn’t matter at all lol. But I think they referenced them where you’re looking at it not as sitting in it so left cam would have been passenger side. Just for ease of install on inexperienced techs lol if ya got the marks lined up then it don’t matter

[@Juntasification]

Can't see it from video, but usually the belt rotation is marked on the belt also. I would have try'd it other way, but it probably doesn't matter. One Honda engine I did, the belt had no rotation marks, but it try'd to walk off the cam the other way, and not the other so go figure.

[@myRatchets]

No if you put the mark for left camshaft on the left cam than the mark for R cam would be towards crank

[@johannriedlberger4390]

Manufacturer torque spec of the harmonic balancer🤣

[@johngracia8914]

I'll be honest with you. That looked like a pain in the * with that giant LS V8, but you showed her some love.

[@Sanghax3]

Hey, do you recommend changing the crankshaft seal while everything is apart? I know the camshaft seals you should leave alone. But it seems like the crankshaft is right there so it would be easy to replace it. Thanks

[@themechanic6117]

This just happened to me doing a timing belt on a toyota v6 , the belt marks didn't line up because the belt was installed backwards . I know it's not necessary but I just removed it and flipped the belt around and all is well again lol

[@stevec5657]

That's really strange the painted timing marks don't line up. I looked up the part (Mitsubishi CD190) and it appears to be the right belt. Very cool video series btw 👍

[@TimDyb]

If the belt is put on with the lettering facing you, the marks would line up. But, it doesn't really matter if all the "pulleys" are properly in place.

[@adambennett2176]

Hey hey!!!!! Do it your selfers!!!!!!

[@RotoRCol]

at 2:22 what did fall into the coolant?

[@Mattschindig]

Timing Belt Cover Spacer.

[@youtubeuser1110]

Dude thank you so much this video is so detailed great work

[@rmedal4594]

Your right, the belt marks would line up if you had put it on with the arrows facing toward the engine. But yes, it doesnt matter.

[@DearSX]

I see some of these water pumps come with a gasket in the package?

[@kxmikalbot9639]

1995 currently in the process .. you said to do the timing i have rotate until the marks meet again? its a fun one.. taking apart all its components .. mine is extremely dirty. bought it off for 900 and all it needed was this exact job. and the radiator. everything else is good . but also doing the oils. yeah.. its a fun job (no sarcasm) thankful for what you do man.

[@danielgobrezzy6092]

Did you need any speciality tools ?

[@tetttettamilli6761]

@RnW - Sidenote (important) - So did u get that "although changed leaking ECU capacitors vehicle still had driveability issues" sorted?

[@myRatchets]

I got another rebuilt ecu for it but that was bad too so now waiting for another one :)

[@JackdeDuCoeur]

Nice work

[@stansbruv3169]

Wait! The old paper towel in the socket trick? Please pardon my ignorance but what’s going on there please?

[@myRatchets]

That way you can have the bolt in the socket and hold the socket upside down if need be and it won't fall out.

[@razaq7712]

What happened if the camshaft during 180° the crank it's up on piston number one

[@MrMaybe-mv9cs]

How much would u charge for something like this like what’s a good price to pay

[@spiridondimaris465]

Good job my friend

[@carlosmunoz7934]

Great video

[@Paradoksis]

Thank you very much for the video, I am from the Russian Federation and we have a bad literature on the repair of this engine .

[@bigdogpete43]

Timing belts and chains are a real failure point for lots of engines. It seems like an integrated gear driven component would be a much better way to go.

[@Billy-rr7re]

hey hey hey do it yourselfer

[@CarlosContreras-gk9gp]

❤ you are awesome ❤

[@Lordvoldemore]

Heck yeah LS400

[@perfectpeanut3244]

The belt didn't line up because the crank mark actually goes right under the crank. The line gets lined up with a circle under and then lined up to the hole after it. The timing marks didn't line up because the belt was placed too forward.

[@joshlampe3458]

13:20 YOU DID IT WRONG! It is required that you say "click" when torqueing fasteners with impact wrenches. Even the drug addicts at the auto body shop know that, come on man.

[@gabinorivera1460]

You used the wrong mark on the crank. The marks on the bottom

[@jamesklinckman2363]

Genuine Chinese counterfeit knockoffs Toyota parts.👍🏼

[@MyWolffy]

I absolutely HATE seeing RED rtv 😢 makes it look like such cheap work using red rtv …. So much better looking to use grey. I can’t say it’s worth buying oem Toyota sealant but why do people use the most hideous stuff when working on engines. What’s so hard to use grey lol

[@myRatchets]

Grey is not as coolant resistant as red rtv
