How to replace a timing belt, water pump, and valve cover gaskets on an IS300.

I found out that the water pump and valve cover gaskets on my is300 started leaking. In this video I'll cover how to replace them and share some tips and tricks for doing it on your own car. Dealing with timing components seems a bit scary when you've never done one before but don't let that stop you. As long as you have a reliable repair manual and do your research beforehand you should be able to get through it with no problems!

Damn Irvin are you training to be a mechanic? Just realized this vids 2 years old but been watching your vids and progress and this was one of the most legit easy to follow straight to the point while adding your sense of humor in there.

[@johns6331]

Thank you for this nice video. Just wondering what your various torque specs were, especially for crankshaft bolt and cam bolts?

[@zakkrick]

I just paid $700 for the shop to do this timing belt job. I bought the GATES timing belt kit for $380

[@RotaryDaddy]

Not a bad price! I just have this mental inability to let anyone else work on my cars lol

[@zakkrick]

If know how or know a friend that knows how to change the timing belt then it would’ve been a lot cheaper but it’s cheaper to let the shop do it than for me to buy all the tools to get the job done or to make mistakes along the way and mess up the engine then it would cost me more to replace the whole engine

You really good

big thanks!

[@cristiannataren9773]

Nice bro.

[@Diego-dv2rg]

yo love the video. where did you buy all of the water pump gaskets from

[@RotaryDaddy]

Thanks man I appreciate it! All the gaskets I used are toyota gaskets from the dealer except the water pump which is an aisin pump(also purchased from toyota) and gaskets for the pump came with it.

[@tonymolina2523]

Great video man, really appreciate it! Question, what gap do you use on your plugs and what would happen if I used the "dot" instead of the "line" to time my car?

[@RotaryDaddy]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it! If you got factory plugs they should be pre gapped to spec for a stock engine (about 1.1mm or .043in) Make sure you have the right timing marks, not having it timed right could make the car not run and you run the risk of bending valves.

[@tonymolina2523]

@@RotaryDaddy You think i bent my valves by setting the timing to the dot? Car runs like crap and got a po300 cel.

[@RotaryDaddy]

@@tonymolina2523 if it's just set to the wrong marks like 3 or 4 teeth away I wouldn't think so but it's possible. I mean you'll know once you set the timing right!

@@RotaryDaddy cool thank you

[@HOTRODRICO]

@@tonymolina2523 if you use the dots it will be 30 deg off timing.. peace

Hello ! How do you block the cranck pulley to tighten the bolt ? Thanks.

[@RotaryDaddy]

I put the car in 4th gear and tightened the e brake pretty hard. Works if you have a manual but automatics need a special tool for holding it. amzn.to/2LpXqEy

[@xSakaii]

What size/part number were the small o rings you used that wasn't included in the water pump kit? 8:59 for reference

[@RotaryDaddy]

They aren't part of the kit, part number is in the description they're the water outlet o rings

By replacing the timing belt, water pump and head gaskets. Will this stop a previous oil leak I had?

[@1jz_gte]

Check your vvti seals

[@pedroescobar6788]

Just had the timing belt serviced. Purchased a timing belt kit which included the tensioners, water pump, serpentine drive belt, gates racing timing belt, etc. The mechanic completed the job and the car now makes a tapping sound. Mechanic says that maybe something is rubbing with the timing belt cover but it doesn’t make sense. I’ve seen a few videos out there that have experienced the same issue but there is no answer. By any chance would you happen to have an idea of what the issue could be? Much appreciated. The mechanic will be taking the cover apart and see if it noise goes away. I’ll post an update once that happens.

[@Papicodone]

Any update?

[@mateuszkrol3784]

Please tell me how tight you tightened the crank pulley?

[@mateuszkrol3784]

I mean 11:40

[@RotaryDaddy]

@@mateuszkrol3784 mine is a manual so I was able to get away with putting it in gear with the parking brake on. For autos you're going to need a tool to hold the crank pulley while you tighten it. The link for it is in the descrtiption

[@skippypeanutbutter9136]

If you're going that far in (including the valve cover gaskets) you may as well get some cams (and a cam gear) and lash your valves too. Seriously, there is no better time to do this. OH yeah, and your front main seal. literally just do these together, you'll thank me later

[@aaronjames8547]

how did you keep it in timing when you were getting the crank bolt loose? You were moving the cam gears and all that shit while loosening the bolt. Did you have to turn it back or something before taking the bolt out?

What city are you in? Can you work on my is300?
