Here is why I removed pulley locker kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osqEmKigq6yxY5c.html

This certainly holds your cams, but for actual installation, you must rotate your cams 1/2 a tooth advanced to slip the belt on, then follow up with slightly rotating the intake cam before finally slipping it over the tensioner idler. When you release it all, it will be lined up. Back in the day at the dealer, we had to go behind many a shade tree mechanic who did not know this and had their belt a tooth off. And don’t spin your balancer shaft unless you know how to retime it. By the vibration, you’ll know if it’s off.

You notice how everything's been nice and cleaned out before he puts that back on

So lock the gears in place, and before installing the new belt.. remove those locks to make sure the gears can move freely. OK GOT IT!

Never and I mean never change a timing belt without replacing the other pulleys and water pump if that is timing belt driven. If 1 of those components fails it will destroy the timing belt and the engine if it’s an interference motor.

Better replace camshaft & crankshaft oil seal together to make sure no oil leakage after replace new timing belt

Theres an even easier way.. Cut the old belt in 1/2 length ways & remove the outter 1/2.. Then put the new belt on 1/2 way, then, cut the rest of the old belt sideways & remove, then slide on the new belt all the way on.. Been doing that way for yrs now..

great tools but its weird that when he is installing the new belt that the tool has been removed and the cam gears appear brand new instead of the old rusty ones

Cuando aga ese tipo de trabajo ay que cambiar la bomba de agua y los Valero para no regresar el proximo mes a destaparlo

Nice little tool for holding the cams in place for most GM Family 1 DOHC engines, like you L91 o L95 for the Aveo Remember to replace the tensioner rollers and the water pump always while doing a belt replacement job

Interesting, you put your little red older on and then it disappeared and the it appeared again. Did you take it off because it wasn't working?

Turn the engine all the way clockwise and line the marks up again before installing the covers. That's how you know before cranking with the starter it came out to correct timing.

You need to make sure that the camshaft and crankshaft are in the correct position before putting on the new belt or you're not fixing anything.

You do great work. Full videos CLEARLY show it.

I replaced my belt on a 99 Toyota 4runner 3.4L just fine without a tool. My cam gears had dots to line up with the block and new belt but would i do it again at home? Not in a million years it was unbelievably hard to do. Next time ill pay the local shop the estimated $350.00 bucks

Wow bros! Because I didn’t have a tool like this, I had to redo the timing belt on my 1st gen Sequoia after replacing my water pump and fan bracket. About 16hrs+ to get that timing right 😅

Now do a 3 chain German motor. I could do a dual cam 4 cylinder belt motor with the roadside toolkit I gave my mom for mother's day. 🤣

Okay dont do this! He removed the cam locker after taking off the belt and you can clearly see the timming is off then puts the new belt on while it is clearly out of time. What you don't see is the engine had to be replaced after

Yo everyone! This engine is an interference model that will bend valves and/or worse when the timing belt fails!!! ALWAYS replace the water pump and all associated pullies and seals while you are in there. NEVER be afraid to swing for the fence!!!!!!

Очень полезное видео спасибо 🤝 Ещё раз убедился что ненужный фиксатор распредвала да ещё и метки ушли в конце

You should definitely invest in a higher quality cam sprocket holding device!!

То стоЯт фиксатор, то не стоЯт?!

What an awesome tool that was making changing a toming belt so easy and less time consuming !

Done many timing belts in my days. Never needed one of these

When you are taking the new belt out the box you can see there is no fix brackets on the gears. Also not the same dirty gears.

I guess that locks the gears so they don't move and mess up the timing.

Nice video can i ask where you inquired tht tools

It why I like the old V-8s . Line up the dots on each gear and go .

Once the old belt is off, sure you check all the sprockets for debris, such as pieces off the old belt.

Cambiar bomba tensor y rodillo y correa de distribucion !!

how come the plastic holder disappeared and then reappeared?

Better idea, buy a car with a timing chain.

Here’s a cool tip I learned from my shop teacher, who also was the shop foreman for Nissan for 20 years: before you remove the belt, use nail polish to mark the gears where they meet the belt. Then when you reinstall it, test its timing. Turn the crankshaft by hand to make the marks rotate around the gears three times. By the third revolution the marks don’t match up, take it back off and reinstall it.

Usually people dont think of a timing belt but when it snap its game over in most cases. Chains or str8 Gear O MONEY

That gear stopper literally cleans the gears after you remove the belt? I'm sold that's awesome!!

We didn't see the tension put on the belt and it being one tooth off from the crank!

you invented that. YOU invented everything. your a great inventor. its all YOUR idea. you are the one. tysm

You make 1 mistake , you supposed to leaved that tool on even Tbelt is off , you only removed that tool off when everything is installed and ready to tested for timing mark for 4 revolutions check , you only removed that tool if you have to replay cams seals and than put that tool back before you install Tbelt and pulley auto tensioner

Also cam gears are nice and Rusty it turns back and they're clean like they had the heads done

Aaa, Daewoo they will snap the f out of the belts if the belt is tensioned to all hell.

You could also spin the engine and run a knife lengthwise along the center of the whole belt, all the way around till the belt is split in half Then. You slide off the 1st half of the old belt and leave the back side on Take new belt and slide it on half way Cut off the rest of the old belt Then, u slide the new belt on the rest of the way.... Bam.. nothing moved... No jumped gears. No fancy tools Timing belt changed

Only seen mechanics use tippex to mark belt position ? This is a good tool 🔧

This is why I love the Toyota/Lexus 2GR V6. It has a lifetime chain

This happens when the customer asks, I just want my timing belt replaced. Everything else is fine !! Lol 😆 🤣 😂

The way I solved misaligned camshaft problems ruining engines is by buying a Sixties vintage Ford Comes with a real timing CHAIN. You merely run the engine 200K miles and rebuild the engine while installing a new chain.

You either replaced the 2 cams and cover or your working on 2 dif cars

Good time to replace oil seals on cam shafts and replace water pump.

🤔 hmmmm Presenting a cam gear lock tool as if we're seeing slice bread for the first time...

He just installed the belt without the tool😂

Split the belt in half lengthways with a stanley knife then cut the first bit off put the new belt half on then cut the remainder off 👍🏻

Were you hoping we wouldn’t notice the tool was missing during installation? 🤦‍♂️

You make it look like it's very easy, but there are many details in your video. I tried this product sold on aliexpress and it doesn't work. but I give a thumbs up because of the quality of the video shooting.

A little too late for me I was changing my timing belt on my Nissan hardbody and when getting the teeth to line up one of gears got away from me and the valve spring spun the cam and bent one valve then seen this tool for the first time the next day

Locking pliers works nicely

Don't watch this before you replace the timing belt. Just follow the instructions of the car manufacturer, not him ☝🏻

all very well but if you have a floating crank pulley ffs use the correct locking tools

That is amazing you shoulda started it BEFORE YOU THE WHOLE THING TOGETHER😁👌👍

That ol belt still had a good 40-50,000 miles on it 😅

Except you gotta spin one cam to get the belt lined up

I'm convinced all the haters on here are the mechanics that charge an arm and leg, there will come a time everyone is going to become a diy person thanks to the greed of the mechanic industry.

Two wrenches on the bolts held with vice grips works better.

Water pump and check pulleys along with changing timing belt.... Is recommended

Everyone talking bout the tool disappearing and not the magic cleaning of the cam gears.

Where did the cam locking tool go when you slipped the new belt on !!!

bruh, every single car manufactured has alignment marks for the timing,...you also need to hand crank the several revolutions to see if the new chain or belt is stretched out during installation...

Awesome, thanks

Good video thanks 😊 👍

Great Video, just wish you would have shown belt tension ing procedure But Well Done.👍👍

What’s wrong with aligning and marking all signs before taking the belt off? Been doing that without error regardless of how many cams or diesel injection pumps in the mixture.

Muy buena asi no se desincronisa el motor

Looks like a PT Cruiser. First cruiser t-belt I did, I bought the special cam sprocket locking tool, but soon figured out it's actually easier to do without.

The cams looked out of time when you were putting the top cover back on. Just my observation.

You goofed up there... The clamp that locks the main timing cogs disappears mid video but then reappear after...

This looks easy enough for me to do 😊 but I know it is definitely not as easy as it looks. Or is it? 😅

Smart tool.

Timing marks warnt lined up properly, that engine will run roughly

Did you replace the tensioner?

change that out for a time chain, and get rid of the belt altogether.

We dismantle and rebuild all kinds and makes of vehicles in downtown Los Angeles we have need needed that tool.

Instead of buying a tool you could also use zip ties, or cut an old cam gear in half, or use a block of wood....

Honda charged me $650.00 for a new timing belt.

I don't know what that thing is supposed to do but if you watch closely the timing is off by two teeth when he puts the belt back on. I will change timing belts and chains the old-fashioned way thank you.

Its two different motors

Link for this tool included in your video or? That's a sweet one.

Didn't have that little tool on there when you were putting the new belt on then magically it's on there after you have the new belt on

Im pretty sure the cam timing was out after you released the tool

wtf why cut the video when replacing the belt. it's a totally different motor and everything. then boom the locker is back on and old motor again. smh 😂 🤣 😂 🤣

We all know the tool is not working right? Because I have the same one before

Bro, you changed the sprockets so, the tool was pointless

Iam mechanic yesterday a chevy aveo arrive same engine like the video and the funny is that the water pump is your tensioner put every mark aligment like need to be then finally adjust the water pump ant tied 3 bolts

Wat was the purpose of the orange tool

You have 2 different engines in this video and in one you use the cam locks and the other you don't.

Yup, valve springs will make cam gears move without tool. Need to do it a different way on a v engine design. M

Don’t waste your money, the important parts of cam timing were neglected in this video

Like a boss 😎

So it cleans your camshaft sprockets while you replace the timing belt??

I've always wondered why they don't use something more dependable, like motorcycle chain.

For such an expensive engine. Seems very lackluster to put a piece of rubber and wire on it to keep the cams and crank in step.

What was the point of installing the cam gear lock tool and then not have it when installing the belt?

Prob got a price. Jam a suitable size bit of wood in there. Then cut the belt. Cams don't move much. do it slow and steady. Watch your marks.
