One thing that grated on my nerves as i did my belt change was that he skipped on how to orient the thermostat when installing it. Theres a weep hole on a radial of the thermostat. I saw a video that said put it at 12 o'clock to let air eacape and someone else said to put it at 6 o'clock to let the coolant get through. Not sure which is right but i put mine at 12 o'clock. After a mistake with the coolant and an overheat. All is good now after coolant is filled with no air pockets in the block. I would go with weep hole on top. Seems to work for me. Also, guess I got lucky as my oil seals, which I thought were going to screw with me no end, were the easiest part of my timing belt replacement experience. Reminders: 1 make sure you seat all the seals flush with the surrounding surfaces 2. Make sure you plug the CAS wire completely and correctly or your car will not start. Ask me how I know. 3. Make sure you have proper installation instructions for the thermostat weep hole position. Make sure you KNOW it's in there right. 4. If you're using a digital torque wrench, make sure you know when proper torque has been reached, what the tone is supposed to sound like.

thanks

thank you so much for this

I have had my car for years and I should’ve asked you this a long time ago. Where did you get the book from with the diagram and everything in it for your 300zx 1991 to 1993 …..,, need your help. I need a copy of the book you use.

I wish Squaw had green runs like this! Squaw is terrible for beginners and no descent green runs!

It goes a lot faster if you use a philips-screwdriver that fits in between the teeth, than you can just keep on turning it without having to grab the next tooth with the flathead.

CAS not a design flaw its how you adjust timing. You didn't need to remove those bolts anyway. The mounting bolts are behind the T belt cover this enables it to remove the CAS without having to reset the timing.

The way that you enjoyed the scenery just made me feel like I was at that moment. Such a great feeling.

Good info 👍

I just watched the whole thing. Can you do this for all the other resorts in Tahoe?

Thanks. its a pain in the butt to work on 1IS.

Yeah picked up a 300zx last week got it running and the timing belt exploded at 6k rpm i looked in the cylinders no damage watched this video put the new belt on and it started right up thanks bro

Thank you for reminding me how well and positive internet looked like in 2009.

Crazy stuff!

What if you found a way to leap thru time to change the date of the timing belt? And your next leap took you home. Thats makes me question everything. Think about it...

Sometimes timing belts arnt needed if you use the right weight of oil

Hello, do you guys know what this sound is? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5qWqpmAmre8e3k.html

Thanks brother ..from México I don't know how to do this ...

Where did you get that timing belt guide book?

That particular style of key is called a Woodruff key. I must of installed 40,000 of them on diesel engines.

Thank Max. This helped me a lot in changing my cambelt. 1990 Nissan 300zxtt.

Has the dog been delocalized, sounds like it, I don't think but is cruel at all.

In the middle of this job right now . No need to remove CAS. Covers slides right over it . Also I haven't replaced my pulley bolts yet . Going back out to do so now .... Wish me luck . Wish I could find a video showing how to remove them with out snapping them in half.

How reliable are the non turbo Nissan 300ZX in your opinion for a daily driver?

Lol i'd replaced it myself. You don't need two people.

I had 93 300zx na and couldn’t find a mechanic that would work on a 300zx

Nice Vid. You still have your Z? I did my 91 Z na also. It was fun doing it the first time by myself. Need to get back into replacing the intake cams. Those dame oil leaks... so annoying.

It is supposed to run in hot air- not cold.

Ok I just don't see the helpful tips of this video at all because all the fame and glory is seeing how you actually did the belt amd not how you expailn it. But oh well

I have started the process of changing my timing belt, water pump, main seals from the instructions in this video. Thank you for this GREAT video.

My god... then number of times I say "crud" in this video. I was trying really hard not to swear in the video since I was sending it to my college professor.

Well, in creating a different brand account I somehow lost all my comments on KZfaq. Oh well. Thank you everyone for your kind words and appreciation.

Forget the Hornet, im more surprised you still have your battery cover Lid

thank you

Great explanations!

So, the adjustability in the CAS isn't a design flaw. It is how you set the timing. Maybe you were kidding. If anybody does this they should really replace the crank and cam seals (and water pump). You can't tell their condition by looking at them.

Thumbs up for speaking slow and clearly. English is not my native tounge : )

You misplaced the thermostat,you must mount it with the little tab upwards.

Detailed video. Great job.

Does anyone know if those accessory belt part numbers also apply to the twin turbo model??

4:25 is a piston

Again thank you sooo much for this videos I have no Words to deskribe how helpful tis is .I will start this Projekt as soon I have the Parts .

Tank you sooooooooo much for this Video I am not a Mechanic and I do not have the Money to Pay one couse the want so much Money for this Work and some of them do not now how to Work on the 300ZX .Mine is a 300TT but there is not much diffrence Greetings !

7:00 how exactly did you tention that power steering belt anyway?????

Really good review !

when rotating the engine, doesn't the tensioner gap change?

what book are you using?

Just a small correction. The plugs you referred to as "freeze" plugs are not that at all. They are called welch plugs or core plugs. The only purpose they have is in the casting process of the heads or block.
