Well i ended up doing this job myself after getting a $1200.00 quote from a mechanic in our town,i bought the aisin parts and the tools to do the job. Took me 3 days because of my lower back injury but ive saved myself about $800.00 in labour costs! The hardest part was getting the rear camshaft seal out-i had to make a tool to lever it out and made my own seal driver for the new seals. The other part that wasn't easy was getting the timing belt all lined up correctly,had to get my wife to help with that part. Its good doing the job yourself because you save a lot of money obviously and a feeling of accomplishment and knowing that its been done right. Thankyou care care nut,without your tutorial i couldn't have done this job 👍

Your videos are awesome, many thanks. from Orange County, CA. I just did my daughters 2005 RX330 with 217,000 miles on it. Timing belt, tensioner, water pump, cam shaft seals, crank seal, Idler rollers, thermostat, temp sending unit and all belts and hoses. The biggest issue i had was the two water pump studs with torx heads, they stripped. I ordered and replaced them as well. I had to laugh at trying to install the studs along with two other bolts with the motor mount with very little room. The studs kept falling out every time I went to angle it down into place, I finally had a thought and use two valve stem caps over the studs to hold them from sliding through and this trick worked like a charm. This is the first dual over head cam belt I Have done. I am 57 and I was not going to do mechanic work any longer but when I got quoted $3,000, I had to first pick myself off the floor and made an instant decision I was going to do this. I haven't done much mechanic work for 30 years except minor stuff. Between the book and your videos this was very doable. Again many thanks, I wish you lived on the west coast my friend.

I have a 1999 Avalon XLS and last year I got the timing belt, water pump, cam and crank seals, ps belt and alternator belt, valve covers, spark plug wires, spark plugs, intake gaskets, plenum gasket, knock sensors, iac valve, and thermostat all replaced. I used all Toyota OEM parts which was expensive but car starts up like new and runs smooth! I do intend to do a restore on it. Next it needs power steering work (not sure if it’s just the lines or the entire rack). And then suspension components and finally we’ll address exterior and interior items that have worn out. Currently sitting at 299k miles and I would love to make it go another 300k if not more! These videos make me want to go out and wrench on it but have to work and go to school. Love these kinds of videos to say the least!

Hey Guys, I just completed this job on my 2001 Camry and I think for the DIYer that has done things like valve covers and plugs, brake job, water pump, starter etc can handle this no problem. Just watch what Ahmed does, he explains exactly what you need to do and what to watch out for. The only thing I did differently was to remove the over flow tank for the coolant just to have more room to work with. The only problem I had was getting the crank bolt out, I had to take the inspection plate off the bottom of the transmission just above the exhaust pipe and lock the flex plate with a screwdriver and use a long breaker bar to get the bolt loose. My air impact would not budge it! I hammered on it for so long I ended up replacing it because it rounded the bolt off enough that I was not comfortable reusing it. Just remember to put the belt on exactly how he does it and you will have zero problems. Also use the ASIN kit, it comes with everything you need. I got the kit that included a new hydraulic tensioner that way you don't have to collapse the old one. You can get it off of Rock Auto for $180.

Initially I was thinking this would be a more complex operation and would require a more professional hand when compared to my 4-cylinder Focus. However, it turns out that in some ways it was an easier and more simplified job. You didn’t have to take the cam cover off and lock the cams at TDC, didn’t have to screw in a special bolt into the block of the engine to secure the crankshaft. It was commendable to see that the belt came with special markings, and the tensioner didn’t need to be tightened to a specific torque setting. Instead all it took is releasing a pin. All in all I have to say that this was a cleaner process than what I went through on the 4-cylinder Ford engine.

I have one of these engines in my Lexus. The valve covers had an oil leak coming out through the rear center spark plug hole. The tube seal was completely deteriorated. After I fixed that problem oil started leaking out through the rear camshaft seal. I think fixing the tube seal caused the pressure in the crankcase to be redirected onto the camshaft seal. I'd advise on a high mileage engine that the camshaft seals be replaced anytime the timing belt is replaced. The last thing you'd want to do is have to go back in there later just to change the seals.

I just did this job on a 2003 Camry first timer. Here are some tips. First I didn’t have the tool to put in the cam seal in the back where you can’t hammer it in. I fabricated one by driving the pulley bolt through a pennzoil oil cap. Then I stacked the 2 old cam seals on top of the new one and the cap then used the pulley to push the new seal into place with the oil jug cap. Also the power steering pump adjusting bracket has to come off to get to the tensioner. The rest is about the same very helpful video! Don’t worry about spinning the difficult back cam around because it’s non interference just line it back up with the arrow when assembling and putting the belt in place and follow his tip of using paper clamps to keep the belt ridges in place. Try your best to burp the coolant and then check the levels the next few times you drive the car.

Great video. Thanks for this. I need to do the water pump on an '04 RX330 (plus, of course, timing belt, pulleys, etc). After watching this, I'm considering adding cam & crank seal replacements to the job. You mentioned that this procedure is almost the same for the 3.3l engine. You should probably mention that that engine is interference, meaning that it's a bit risky to move the cams and/or crankshaft independently of each other. I suggest rotating the engine until the belt is in the position you want it for installation. I.e. with the gear marks where you can line up the belt on the gears. I would also like to request that you add links to the puller, cam holder tool, and cam seal installation tool to your Recommended Tools list.

Thats amazing you got the cam gear bolts off that easy. I did one today and I had to rest the ratchet on my shoulder and pull the camshaft tool with both hands, and even that was tough. This one had been done at least twice before so I assume the previous mechanic over tightened it. But this is a very easy job if you have some mechanical experience.

So I ordered one of the tools that is all welded up and that worked to get the last one off.

It's easy as he said, I have never done a timing belt before but after watching a couple of videos on how to do it. all of them do not show some steps but you can figure it out as you go. in the beginning I hesitated but I went for it and it's done. the only thing that I found out that you might need help with is aligning the timing belt because the pulleys kept moving on me but we second person it went well. by the way, the dealers or other mechanics want around 1000$ for the job it's ridiculous because if they charge 100$ per hour it should be around 500$ since that's not going to take 5 hours to do the job. I appreciate those who show and provide tips for fixing any car as I have done to the cars that I never took for machines unless I can’t or do not have the right tools.

AMD, I have only owned one car with a timing belt. It had the 1.6 Mazda engine. When the mechanic changed the belt, I followed the standard advice to also change the water pump. About a year later, the new water pump failed and it all had to be taken apart again. From now on I will stick with timing chains. BTW I expect videos like this will be a lot easier to record in your new shop ;-)

Was that an aftermarket water pump or OEM water pump?

An aircraft sheet metal Cleco clamp works fantastic for keeping the new belt on the cam pulleys. Just a tip that I used when I did this job.

I always thought. 1 day I will go back to Chi Town and have AMD do the timing belt job, even when having Faye H. Here in town but both mechanics are great. Maybe I will just make a bold move and tackle this job.
