After 1999 the 2.0 was not offered. This video is very similar to the 2.4, however, it covers everything on the 1999 Eclipse 2.0 timing belt replacement. The video was a little long so that I could cover everything. So I put it into a part 1 and part 2. Part 2 is much shorter. See also my other videos on this Eclipse. Replacing the thermostat, tie rod, radiator cap, etc. Please click on my name under the video for all my how-to videos. Please subscribe and click like. I got the videos out of order, I'm sorry please keep watching it does cover everything. Thanks for watching,,,,,Enjoy!!!

Timing belt cover bolts wouldn’t come out. Even raising or lowering motor as much as could. Drilled two holes 5/8” with step down bit inside fender inline with bolts and wahlah. Great video. Short n sweet. Took me 12 hours under a shade tree.

@jamesbrayboy754 21 күн бұрын

You got that right cuz I'm experiencing the same problem and he did not show him removing the bolts in the video everything else was pretty much on point I've already drilled one hole and I'm about to start the next but I'm glad that you pointed that out, have a blessed day

Hey this is a great video my only question is, how did you get the back part of the cover off to get to the water pump? I've got the belt off and everything else but I'm wondering how to get that cover forward enough to get to the bolts on the water pump, any help is really appreciated!

Hey Thomas, my balance shaft belt broke and I already removed the timing belt, if I turn the crank a full rotation will it damage anything? I don't think there is valve damage but I rushed the project and now i'm nervous to continue. The teeth appeared to be off on the crank side, I don't know if that was before I put this new engine in it. Please advise

It's a little late but I see u still post vid. And I had a question on how to set the timing not on the bottom like what u did during this vid. But the top two that u said were already set, do I just spin them till there lined up or..? It would help me out Alot if I knew

@thomasbriansavingmoney 6 жыл бұрын

yep spin the cams till there are lined up. thats all for them. they just spin the once, its the crank (below) that spins twice to the cams once. so you must have the botom set on top dead center. but the top ( cams ) just line them up. good question,,, thanks for watching.

two of them can stay in the cover when you remove it, just pull them out as far as you can, then pull up the cover.

How do I move the cams in the timing I’m trying to time my neck to 97 nonturbo eagle talon 420a engine

@thomasbriansavingmoney 6 жыл бұрын

the cam marks should face each other, the crank should be at about the 1 o clock position ( see mark ) number one piston on tdc ( top dead center when crank is in that position. ( verify tdc because you dont want to be 180 degrees out. then put the timing belt on.

always seems best to turn in the same direction as the rotation of the engine, in this case clock wise. but if you are referring to the crank, its ok. the cam you for sure want to turn in the same as rotation of the engine. thanks again.

@thomasbriansavingmoney 6 жыл бұрын

You must remove the upper and lower motor mounts and use a jack to lower the engine and remove timing cover bolts. I have also pulled the bolts out as far as they can and removed timing cover with bolts still in the cover, but there is very little room to do it this way. thanks for watching.

You can take off the front Motor Mount & push the motor over,with 2 guys or a bottle jack, sideways,to get those long bolt's out.
