The only one who actually shows how that crank tool works, LEGEND!! Thank you sir

Simple and short. You are the best!

Such an informative video! Thanks for all the details!

Tightening the pulley bolt the right way is a biiittch. Gotta have a special tool to hold the pulley in place, and the torque to degree it 90 is absolutely insane! What I would do.. put it to 75 ft lbs, then mark the bolt with a paint pen at 12 o clock, then use the impact to get it to 3 o clock.. make sure the the hole is lined up with that hole in the timing cover, otherwise your crank position sensor will be off. Has to be exact

Crank pulley bolt has to be tightened 75 foot pounds and then a further 90 degrees. If it comes loose on you you’ll most likely destroy the engine. Using an impact and hoping for “good luck” is amateur.

Plain and simple great video.

Awesome bro! Always lovin your content

Easily the best video on timing for this motor, saved my ass!

Did you remove engine+transmission from top/front of car? If so, did you leave the cat in place? Just about to do the job on a CX7...

You don't loosen the camshaft sprockets then tension the chain?

What's the break in period for the timing chain before you can beat on the car

Dude that looks way easier than i thought!

This was a good one! Nice job Steve

Nice video very thero and clean straight up to the point clean work brow

Awesome awesome reference video. Torque specs on everything would have been the icing on top! But look forward to rest of build man.

Big mistake on that crank pulley bolt sir. I learned that lesson the hard way when a friend of mine used an electric impact gun to tighten my crank bolt. It didn't tighten nearly enough! That is a torque to yield bolt and it's used for a very good reason. It's very easy to do and can be done with the engine in the car if need be.

Love your videos, I cant wait to take my engine part, she has leaks.

Where did you buy your timing kit parts? What’s the part number? Thank you.

Thank's for useful instruction.

Nice vid!!!

dude, great video.. i enjoy learning about cars and this is very simple yet very informative. Excellent learning guide

Hi Steven, I have a 2018 Mazda 3 2.0 here in Thailand. It has 71K Kilometers [44,100] miles. My timing chain sprocket is needing replacement, [I can't believe this]. I have had a similar problem before where the car had little power going up semi steep hills, it had to be downshifted [auto] sometimes to create enough force to go up the hill. Mazda repaired this under warranty, now we seem to be here again with a worse problem. it needs to accelerate up to 2500 rpm to shift gears. Is this possibly normal? or is there a solution, the cost of replacement seems high and the damage unusual for a low mileage car, we have changed the oil at 20-25K intervals. Would really be thankful for you quick diagnosis and possible solution. Thank you very much!

On this engine - can you drop the oil pan easily while engine is in the car? It looks like some of the timing cover bolts goes sideways into pan - is this correct? I need to check for rod knock.

Finally 🔥🔥🔥

Excelente trabajjo

I was told i can damage/crack side cover by holding the crank pulley with the bolt you put through the hole on the pullet to hold it. Maybe a no issue with impact gun

I have a question, I can see how to line up the cams, thanks for that helpful information. However, on my engine(which happens to be in a range rover evoke, but it appears to be the exact same engine which I think is a Ford engine) the cam sprockets are not keywayed. Does this mean the cam sprockets can go on any way? If there are alignment marks for the cam sprockets, please tell me what the line-up is for them? Thanks!

Hey mate great vid, I've just finished rebuilding my 08 cx7 2.3 turbo, I noticed the pin on your vvt sprocket was at about 12 o'clock position, I never marked mine and I've set it to 1-2 o'clock but are getting p0012, wanting to know if you ever had any problems, cheers Dave

Do you have a link to these parts and tools mister?

Can you recommend a good place to buy the timing chain? I've seen a lot of cheap ones out there. Not sure where to get a good one.

J'aime beaucoup votre travail et merci pour

The weird method your talking about is using a angle torque gauge with a breaker bar ( 1st the brand new crankshaft bolt pn LF01-11-406 ) is to be torqued to 70.9 -76.7 ft/lbs then TWICE to 87 -93 DEGREES this is stretching / pre-loading the bolt that's why your supposed to replace , if you did not do this it's wrong !

how do you align the camshaft? since you can flip it over 2 ways?

Nice one

Can't wait to hear this thing fire up!

You didn't use any sealant on the timing cover?

Where do you buy your friction washers, I can’t find them damn things anywhere

Sorry to correct you but cams do not go at TDC the piston does and the cams in cylinder 1 better be at the base of the lobe on intake cam and exhausts cam then you install the plate to hold the calls while you install the timing chain, also the cam sprocket should have a dot and the VVT should have a notch and both should be at position 12 o'clock before installing the chain , FYI

Timing belt alignment is so easy on these blocks

Is very cool

👍👍👍

Literally been looking for a speed 6 for close to a year now, had an 06 v6 6 speed that my brother completely destroyed when I gave it to him when he was I need, fan of the speed 3s but not wanting one, so hard finding a stock one here in NC, there’s a few but are complete junk and been messed with way to much for me to be comfortable with buying, gonna keep searching a couple states away

Can you reuse the stock timing parts?

dude i cant believe its almost done

Nice one I wish am there with you am a mechanic

Thanks

Please I want the engine to buy

What kind of impact wrench did you use?

Where you get your torque specs at?

Could not see cam placement on timing tool

Hello I have a Mazda engine that have a timing problem

I have prblum ford mustang GT timming prblum 4salnder Trbu

Cool video, what's the specs on the engine, is it a petrol or diesel ?

No lube needed?

Good job! Honestly the proper torque procedure on the crank bolt is pretty important especially since yours isn't keyed and you are relying on friction. I hope you change your mind and torque it properly. 75 FT-LBs + 90 degrees is a torque to yield procedure and is probably close to 300ft-lbs on that size bolt. You would be fine with a M18 fuel 1/2" impact, but you probably didn't get close to that value with the gun you used.

Think bro

I made the mistake of using an impact to tighten crank pulley on a eco boost today.. 5 miles down the road pulley comes loose and a full day wasted on setting timing once again.

DO NOT USE A IMPACT WRENCH ON THE CRABK BOLT FFS. you tighten it to 71 ft lbs then another 90 degrees. watching him blast that bolt in while holding only a cam made me cringe so hard i shit my pants. You litterally put over 200ft lbs of pulsating torque on the peuny timing cover bolt not to mention timing chain/ dry cam journals pressing into a cam that wants to angle, mushrooming the tdc pin and running the risk of breaking the end of the cam off where the timing plate has been. YOU SHOULD HOLD THE CRANK FROM THE OTHER SIDE WITH 2 BOLTS AND A BAR WHERE THE FLYWHEEL BOLTS IN TO JAM IT IF YOU DONT HAVE A FLYWHEEL HOLDER. You didnt mention the crank sensor which is part of the timing prosses. this is a interference motor with NO key ways what so ever so if one of thoes friction washers slip because it was not tightened properly (VERY COMMON) or reuse a old one the valves fall into the pistons taking the whole motor and turbo out. but hey if it worked for other people then who cares amiright or amiright. people who think they need to follow proper instruction or how you put it "some weird method" are morons. i really hate talking to someone like that its disrespectful but this is something someone may follow and potentially ruin there motor due to it.

I had no idea how easy timing a speed engine was

Timming fusión EcoBoost 2.0 turbo

No way the shit is that easy!!

Tu n'a présente les position de l'arbre à cane

I would HIGHLY recommend torquing that crank bolt. I made a wrench that holds it in place I can let you barrow if you want.

Hi

when you put the crank sprocket on I hope you had the hole pointing down and your 20 teeth over from the open tooth

🇸🇦👍

Yo

Hello sir, I’m a mechanic and I’m very interested with your video Is it ok? if I recap your video ,explaination with Thai language and Thai subtitle in my channel to be knowledge for Thai people who’s interested with the content like this.

Je suis un mécanicien j'ai un nouveau rencontrer

Did you have to re do this

it`s near impossible to tighten the front crank pulley bolt up as specified by Mazda , I nether got mine to the correct 90% and I had a big tube on it and it was lifting the engine out, pluse ste it a good idea to get rid of the the pipe that run`s from the pcv valve to the inlet manifold [block the inlet manifold off] and run the union fitting or remove the ball from the pcv valve and rubber pipe it up so it is open all the time, and run a pipe to atmosphere or a catch tank high up [ THE PCV VALVE IS CAUSE OF MOST MAZDA`S SMOKING ON IDLE ] .ste did you know that there is new vvt sprocket for the Mazda's, it`s been out about 4yr ? .it`s got a stronger pin inside it as the old one use to brake up inside the gear . atb john

It looks like a very weak engine, the chain is too light.

Your skill is wrong
