  • the pulleys and belt ARE marked.

  • Um, I do, all the time. Just need to take off the fans.

  • Not sure I would call following the service procedure "begging for valve damage." But yes, if you were only changing the timing belt you could try getting one of those clamps that holds the gears in place.I don't think there were spark plugs in, but it's not hard to turn the cams with a 2' breaker bar.

  • Left as in passenger side? No, the valves on that side are all closed when you put on the belt. Additionally all the pistons are halfway down the bores so the only danger is valve to valve contact on the left bank.

  • Jamal.I have the same motor and my problem is that I can turn the crankshaft spkt but how do I know that I'm at TDC. The #1 piston comes up it drops back before I get to my timing mark My question is do I set the timing mark before it drops, on the way up before it gets all the way to the top? Also my T belt hasn't any lines could you tell me how many teeth are between the crankshaft line to the top driver cam shaft the tricky side Googled this and no one says how to get TDC compression stroke

  • good video, gave me enough info for me to be able to do the cam belt on my 1990 RS Legacy, only ever done nissan rb20det and rb25det cam belts before, cheers!

  • hey my lower cam like at 0:55 was off when i was sdoing it and i rotated it clockwise to lign it up. is that a really big deal or what? i read on ondemand5 that you cant but my brother is a mechanic and he has done many and swore that it doesnt matter. i need help PLEASE. i need to finish it tomorrow and i need to know why it matters!

  • Hi, I am having problem to get the cranksaft sprocket and passanger cam sprockets off, I need to change the seals. they are leaking. thanks. I forgot to mention. mine is 98 subaru forester
