Good stuff. I was hoping you'd have changed the cam and crank seals as that can be a lead to timing failures if (or when) they leak on the belt. Most times it's good insurance especially when you don't know how long the seals been there.

@MiguelDsm Жыл бұрын

That completely went over my head.. I’ll pin the comment for future watchers to take it into consideration when they’re doing their timing belt service

I need to get one of those fancy impact wrenches. You made removing that crankshaft pulley bolt look easy

@stealthmanx2 Жыл бұрын

Don't set the crank sprocket dead on. If you do that it will turn about a tooth before the CAMS start moving. I normally set the notch like I said, a tooth to tooth and a half prior. I have done numerous timing belts and got it down to less than 2 hours from start to finish without a lift. Make sure you do the washer mod and do not pull the pin until rotating a couple times. Is also a good idea to put a socket in between the crank sprocket and crank bolt. You don't want the bolt to bottom out.

@MiguelDsm Жыл бұрын

Set the crank sprocket a tooth counter clockwise. Also did washer mod. Video comes out Saturday

@@MiguelDsm👍did you get the special tool to torque the pulley the tensioner pushes against? Don't over do it ornyou'll break the tangs.

I just did this a couple months ago. A lot of work but all worth it at the end. I ended up doing the alternator while I was in there too. Was thinking of doing the ac compressor delete but kept it. Hope it runs great when you’re done.

The blue is the gates racing belt an upgrade from OEM and usually goes together with a solid tensioner due to the racing belt not stretching like the oem does

lets goo progress baby! Can't wait to see the vr4 back on the road soon! I just got my 92 sl back after 7 months of it being with a mechanic who couldn't find the issue made it home without breaking things at least i think... tell me why i found out its the radiator lol. it's boiling hot and only one fan takes a while to turn on so soon ill be replacing things hoping to find an aluminum one with hoses and water pump. Trany broke on me twice on my journy without even abusing it along my journy:(

Replaced all my motor mounts with OE factory, they were all ruined in 3 months .3sx has solid rubber motor mounts, no vibration no noise, far superior to OE and urethane motor mounts.

Ended up going with an innovative mount. 3SX over prices their shipping imo

Is it possible on this engine to rotate the crank all by itself clockwise and can sprocket individually in order to line up timing marks? this would be a huge help. Thank you.

@alukaszewski Жыл бұрын

Couldn't make out in the video, but hoping you didn't use a jack and the wooden block on the bottom of the sump? If so then check you haven't pushed in any part of the sump as that's where the oil pickup is and you can cause issues.

I commented about that as well and edited it to add a link to a thread on 3SI about how this causes spun bearings, and then my comment disappeared.

@MiguelDsm Жыл бұрын

Do you have the 3SI link? It’s good to have here either way for people to watch out for. Didn’t see your previous comment

@lateapexi Жыл бұрын

I can't seem to post a link here. It is a stickied post at the top of the 3SI General section titled "Spun Bearing Causes - Please Read!"

To anyone watching don't do what happens at 7:59, use some small tarp clamps to hold the belt to the cam gear. Release tension on 1 at a time so valves don't smack pistons.
