00 Lexus Timing Belt part 2

[Moultrie31768]

First of all, great video !!! It is very helpful. I know you said those stud removers were at Autozone's loan area but could you please tell us exactly which will work ? I noticed there is a std and metric set and some off a link from your website. Also, I couldn't get my Toyota dealership to find those two studs on their parts lookup, does anyone here have the Toyota part number for those two studs? Thanks

one of the car's in the video was not a lexus

Great video, but how come you didn't use the marks on the new timing belt. It makes it so much easier.

I saw you had a Gates kit, and the new belt had the marks. The only thing that's confusing about the belt marks are as if you are sitting on the transmission. (L Cam is the front R Cam is the rear) and the CR mark matches up with the other dot on the crank gear at about 4 o'clock.

Спасибо.

How would you get the coolant back in the block after reinstalling the waterpump when the thermostat is closed? This is about the only part i dont understand.

[spelunkerd]

@canoeshoe You run the engine at rest for long enough to open the thermostat, and the engine 'burps' air away, pushed by the water pump, to the radiator.

[canoeshoe]

Do you have the part number for the stud extractor kit? I can't seem to find anything like it.

[KWatson1984]

@canoeshoe Autozone has it in their loan-a-tool section.

Great video and very clear.!!!!! I'm in the process of having to change timing belt and water pump on a V6 Toyota Camry.It's the same set up. hopeful wouldn't have any dramas.Keep them coming Guys.

thanks...

You might want to put some coolant back in before starting the engine....

[SilentServiceCode]

I would have just installed new studs at this point.

I always put markings on the old belt, and transfer the markings to the new belt to make sure that the marks line up

[frankie2234]

did you put any compound on the water pump or just the gasket Is it necessary to replace water pump, hydrolic tensioner; i'm a novice so wonder how long till they would come out to burn you. great vid. thanks.

@ realfixesrealfast where did you get that strut remover like what store can i get one please help

[nomocash]

Thank you SOOO muck for posting this. I almost took my Rx 300 in.

[andyandy404]

Thanks for posting this...good job

[abel442]

i would have created my own timing mark with a paint stick on the hard to see cam gear and would have rotated the engine by hand 2x just to make sure the marks are on time and didnt jump a tooth after releasing the tensioner overall a very good instructional video for double ohc.

[JDSachs]

Just finished replacing the water pump, timing belt and tensioner on my '99 RX300. With your instructions, the operation was a total success. The bit about removing the studs was especially helpfull. I used a couple of jam nuts and a wrench on the studs to help the Torx socket, so it wouldn't break off the stud tips. I had a REALLY rough time getting the harmonic balancer bolt off. I ended up making a tool which uses the two threaded holes in the pulley to keep the crank from turning. Thanks!

[cannonman172]

This vidos(s) has help me a lot THANKS A LOT KEEP THEM COMING.....

[spelunkerd]

I think I would have tried to find a replacement stud for the one that was broken, so when I had to do the belt again in a few years I would have had a better chance to get that bracket off without having to raise the engine again. But I can understand why you want to work around that problem, as it might have taken a few days to find such a specialized stud and your customer wanted his car back.

Thanks again for posting this video, which is by far the best timing belt video on the internet.

[rconner96]

Good video. Only addition would be to replace the cam and crank seals due to the fact that they will eventualy leak.

[HonkyTonkMan705]

Thanks for posting this...you and your guys are true craftsmen. It's nice to have some automotive videos on here not posted by armchair mechanics who talk down to people.

[CravinMorehead420]

nice tip with the zip ties

[sbab83]

Is that Lexus an interference engine? Like if that belt snapped, would it destroy the engine?

[Standingwithfeast]

@sbab83 it should be a free wheeling motor not an interference engine. To be sure check the timing belt book. Most of the Camery engine like the Lexus 3.0L are not interference type. I like how the video shows using tie straps to hold the cam sprocket and belt in place without any expensive tools. The stud removal kit is cheaper if you buy the whole set of metric and standard.

[dmorley100]

How much does one of those hydraulic belt tensioners cost? It looks like it'd be expensive as hell.

[Jeffmtbr]

What does the book say for timewise to complete this job?

[MPEREZZ143]
