Nice video. I'm an Australian gentleman loving your forthright style. You talk with no bullshit, you're straight to the point. That's a style most Australians really appreciate.

[@Songbird86]

You are a life saver my goodness my husband and I have been fighting with this freaking car for two days trying to figure that darn thing out. Thanks to your video the car fired right up. Many thanks we still have hair left LOL

[@1588mo]

Thank you so much the process for adding the belt and turning the crank gears slightly to get the idler pulley in was spot on. I had so much trouble with this timing belt the other day. I tried it your way and bam it fired right up. Thanks again.

[@stuartcunningham8672]

Great video....thank you for not talking too much like so many do! Everything you say is informative and necessary, and you make the steps very clear. Nice work!

[@michaelmarquez1188]

ThAnk you my friend.. this is one of the best instructional video I’ve seen these passed a few days trying to understand the details on replacing a Camry timing belt ...

[@themfnnitrorooster7619]

Thank u im 30 own my own shop and usually I take about anything then later find myself learning this new b.s. but my sissy died a week ago and gave me her car and it was out of time so thanks for the help you helped me fix my sissys car

[@BobKontak]

The crankshaft toothed belt drive unit is to line up with the engine casting BETWEEN the two bosses. There is a tiny circle. It will line up with the left boss perfectly if you have the belt on backwards.

[@precisionbay6899]

Lmao yup he got his motor all off time

[@tantrictoa]

You seem like your the type of mechanic that is worth every penny. Your gonna do it right with the correct part and check and recheck your work. I would trust your skills on my car anytime. This may seem a bit trivial to you or others reading but the clamps you used are a Eureka moment to me! I never thought to use clamps to hold belts in place.............DUH!!! thanks a million for teaching me something and good vid btw.

[@mikemoreno1545]

Thank you sir, your video helped a lot

[@vwdarrin]

good tips this one goes in the favorites, thanks for the video

[@treblarefils]

Thank you !!! this helped me. Toyota timing chains also have the marks to line up the belt the chains have different links that match up. ill be ripping into my es300 real soon the belt is so bad it has cracks I can see on the top and its freaking me out lol.

[@homotorsports]

No problem i`m glad you enjoyed the vid.....

[@elitecamaroz28]

I appreciate this.

[@pirihern9329]

I will survive great song for today no need to say more stay safe

[@stephenkern6523]

damn it you S.O.B, thank you after watching NUMERUS videos and wondering why my shit kept going out of alignment when i would put the tension on. NOBODY ever said it was like a chain where the belt has dedicated marks too. yup sure as shit as soon as i put the marks on the belt with their marks it was in time.

[@sfitz-rp4du]

Thanks for your video. So in your method you match the belt to the marks on the new belt to the cams and crank marks regardless of the top dead center position, correct? Also, I like your truck of putting the pulley on last. It's a tight squeeze putting belt on with that part installed.

[@andrewthacker114]

Good clip , thanks

[@alanfarias2923]

Not to skip the subject and yes the video on the timing belt is awesome, helpful to the “T”. But your HOT ROD... American Rambler 2 door wagon is freakin’ Bad Ass. That’s something you don’t see everyday. Please make a video on that. Thanks again for the video.

[@steverayrapp]

I'm doing one right now and the instructions contradict your instructions. It says to line the bottom pulley up to that mark in the center, which I did. Engine marks all line up after two revolutions, engine runs great. I'm also using a Dayco kit and have used them before without issue. As far as the marks being wrong on after market belts, don't know what to say about that except the writing on the belt has to be upside down and arrows pointing away from engine when looking at the belt over the passenger side fender. This 99 Camry had the tensioner bolt back out and basically cut the belt in half and the engine would start but ran horrible and was noisy. I won't do one of these jobs unless customer agrees to do all related components, waterpump, idler pulley, tensioner and tensioner pulley, cam and crank seals. Great vid by the way, Thanks!

[@homotorsports]

+Steve Raymond Carefull theres 2 marks on the bottom gear

[@alexmendoza4183]

if i want to move the cams to line them up to TDC; does my car need to be in NEUTRAL; can i turn cams individually untill they are aligned?

[@vaman86]

u can turn the engine over with a wrench on the crank bolt while the car is in park.

[@willdabeastindy]

Good vid, thanks ;-)

[@finpainter1]

good vid&motown music.

[@gardenstateflatlandb]

This looks like the same enigine as in the 2000-2004 Avalon, yes? I am thinking of buying a used one soon. This a good reliable engine? Everything Ive read says its good, but would like a mechanics take on it. Also, think its a good idea to buy a used one with just over 100k miles for around $5k? Will I get my moneys worth out of it, granted its been previously maintained, and I also keep it maintained. Thanks.

[@angelisone]

Which way to turn the Crank Pulley? And if you removed the 22mm Crank Bolt out & cover removed how do your turn, you didn't say or show on video? If all three showed marking, would that be Top-Dead-Center? 2004 Camry XLE V6 3.0L spark plug number is in the back, don't even want to remove those nightmare items out.

[@kelvinquy1933]

thank you very much

[@Rob111270]

Do you highly recommend using Toyota (KOYO) idler and tensioner pulley as well? How good are the aftermarket pulleys?

[@jamesnorwood7500]

2002 camry xle 3.0 by knockseser bank 2 ,also my abs is off.lack of power doest want to shift correctly.its definitely needs help.

[@faceinkgmc2692]

how did you guide the belts on the pulleys....that seems like the hard part that no body can show

[@Rob111270]

Thanks. Also, who makes the belts, hoses, and shocks/stuts for Toyota? I have the XREAS suspension system on my 04 4runner V8 4x4. I was told I have a leaky shock. Any suggestions?

[@dalewhitmore143]

How did you get the top timing cover off I can't get it over the left side pulley and I'm doing my head in

[@red59rider]

Great and informative video.... Question....would you advise replacing water pump while your that deep in the engine? Car has 130k + miles on it, replacing original timing belt, figured while I was there, to go ahead and replace both the idlers, the belt tensioner and the water pump. Sound like a plan to you? Thanks, Bill

[@homotorsports]

I would change the pump it`s cheap insurance.I have never seen the pulleys or tensioners fail on these engines..

[@irideyoulook7073]

Wich other common brand would u use? I live in Austria pretty hard to get a original timing belt so does somebody maybe have a website or smth?

[@ronniehopper2726]

You didn't mention the fact that toyota is set at 5 deg btdc and having those marks aligned is extremely important. Also on a non interference engine the valves are less likely to be damage if you over rotate the cams vs an interference fit .

[@abdallahalhadry783]

[@1glancingthru]

Hi. I got a 1994 Toyota camry 3.0 l v6 and I need to replace the water pump but the other half of timing belt cover is in the way. I was thinking of taking out the two cam pulleys to get to it, but that would probably affect the timing on cat. Do you have any suggestion on how to go about it. Thanx

[@hawerddolbee1278]

I'm thinking with all the advancements in computers we can't design a decent affordable timing belt . At an affordable price

do you have a video that shows how to remove and install the camshaft seals on the 1996 toy camery/ 3000... also the your video on the Timing Belt On A Camry 3.0l it only shows installation, and video on tear down?

[@mr6g6g]

Hi there Could u tell me how much it cost to replies timing belt to Camry v6 ?

[@eugeneblackard3620]

Thanks for the video, easy to understand. At the 7:25 mark, you removed a pin. When and where was that placed? And what’s the purpose of it?

[@Jeff82556]

I would also like to know, but if he didn't give you an answer after 1 year, I don't think he will ever reply. Too bad.

[@minimat098]

@@Jeff82556 with a brand new tensionner like this it come spring loaded with a pin that you remove when its install if you keep the old one your not gonna do that

[@Jeff82556]

The music that started at 4:10 is as distracting as a gnat buzzing. I enjoyed listening to you speak, including the "mawk" accent. The music is almost like when you're talking on the phone and cars start driving by - making it harder to concentrate with devotion to your lecture. FANTASTIC video otherwise. (oh, turn off your right turn signal)

[@adamgray2070]

Toyota is genius.

[@leonarddroneview6947]

Can the tensioner be replaced without taking the belt off?

[@ChuddleBuggy]

I suppose you don't have to go by the marks on the gears and the belts if you just mark them yourself with touchup paint before removing the old belt.

[@zeroking1038]

I spun the crank over twice an it didn’t stay I have the belt correct the time correct B UT the timing marks don’t like up after the 2 spins

[@ewzm]

Between 4:24 & 4:36 in the video, it seems that the lip that keeps the belt from slipping off of the rear camshaft sprocket is on the outboard side, away from the block. But this lip is on the inboard side of the front sprocket. I wonder if one of the sprockets got flipped over previously. Shouldn't these retaining lips be on the same side for both sprockets? If so, should they be on the inboard side or the outboard side

[@fanplant]

Michael Westlund he has them on correctly. I guess they keep the belt centered.

[@hustlerforgita7538]

That what I call timming belt with a beat

[@xXRedneckXGalXx]

so, im working on my buddies toyota pickup 3.0, he had the motor rebuilt 100k ago, anyhow went to go put a timing belt on it and the people who built it did some weird shit, they marked on the cam 2 different places, theres the stamp on the cams and then there is a paint marker mark on the cams and backing. what do i go by? so lost, i went to the stamped one and it seemed like it lost power climbing, then i went the marked one and it had a high idle? wtf do i do

I have a 1995 Camry with this motor in it and the PO had the timing belt and water pump replaced and it now sounds like something's rattling around in there right around the front cam gear, "clunk clunk clunk" (narrowed down the location with the stethescope). Is there anything they could've done while they were in there that you think could cause that? It's not loud enough to be a rod knock and it's too low of a tone to be lifters. I was thinking a loose dust cover or incorrect timing belt tensioning, but I've never had one of these apart so I don't know.

[@williamwalters9403]

there isn't any lifters in a camry it's an ohc engine

[@williamwalters9403]

+Robert Nugent yes,just some people don't know

[@ziggassedup]

I know you work for Toyota but have you ever done a timing belt on a PT Cruiser.?One of the worst I recon..Not because of the belt set up but because of the access.

[@homotorsports]

I did 19 year`s at Mitsubishi also and they had the 2.l(420a) in the Eclipse (Same as your 2.4l)Very very poor set up between how you have to remove the balancer and the front engine mount....

[@johnbleau9379]

@@ramblingrebel6883 I have an '02 toyota highlander 3.0L and thought the same thing until I bought a $50 O2 upstream sensor from amazon and it didn't work. I did some research and found out that anything but the original OEM O2 sensor wont work. I returned it and bought the $150 toyota OEM O2 sensor and everything worked great.

[@johnbleau9379]

It had something to do with the fact toyota uses a wide band sensor and other brands weren't wide band. They even went on to say it can screw up the computer by using the wrong part. I am about to change the timing belt on it and bought the kit on amazon. I hope it works out even though its not toyota OEM. It has 200k on it so it really owes me nothing if it does break.

Your video noticed a mistake the mark on the gear lines up with the mark on the Block putting your top dead center it is not the front mark But the back Mark that tells you top dead center I noticed the car I am working on I'm guessing they put the belt backwards because it is three teeth out of time

Toyota says to line the crank timing sprocket to the small bump on the oil pump. The timing belt marks are less important than the marks on the cam and crank sprockets. Belt marks are less important than the real timing marks.

[@FEETLE]

yeah he line the crank gear on the wrong bump

[@donjrkocielko9295]

Hanes repair manual says rear head cams match 2 dot with 2 dot on cams but that puts dot on belt pulley at bottom instead of top. What is the use of a book that argues with itself ?

Do you believe Toyota manufactures belts? If so, I own a Toyota Bridge you might be interested in purchasing. Toyota buys belts from manufacturers such as Gates and Misumi, just like every other car manufacturer.

[@homotorsports]

You are so right ...weres that bridge i`m looking for a long term investment

[@Qman06]

Joe, you are correct. They do not manufacture their own parts; however, they supply the suppliers with very specific parameters for "their" belts/ parts to be manufactured by. This does not necessarily translate to their aftermarket production due to costs and other factors. There is something to be said about OEM parts. Much more than a "feel good" about keeping the car pure. Experienced this MANY MANY times with aftermarket parts vs Genuine Toyota/ Nissan/ Honda/ Ford/ Chevy/ etc parts.

[@BenotzJoe]

homotorsports Quinton Cheatham Please allow me to eat this crow. I purchased an aftermarket belt and saved a few dollars. But it was MARKED INCORRECTLY. I aligned the marks carefully, twice, but could not get the engine timed. I was stumped, and ended up taking the car to a professional mechanic who had seen this before and was able to figure it out. I wish I had taken your advice and bought a belt from Toyota. It would have saved me a headache and money. Your advice was good advice, and thanks for making this video. I will be jumping off my bridge now.

[@Qman06]

That sucks. I learned the hard way too- Went through 3, THREE clutch master cylinders on my 03 Maxima before I finally went to the dealership and got their part. It's the only one that's lasted.

[@jonathangonzalez327]

Quinton Cheatham Same boat here with a CV boot on my VW. Had to replace it twice in less than a month. Bought the original german part and no problem after that. With some parts you can get away with the "cheap" stuff but when it comes to oil seals, belts, electrics... is better go OEM.
