A easy replace even if you have never done 1 b4 marks line up perfectly and
nothing was tore up. And my belt had 210,000 + miles
So did you bend a valve when the old belt went?
Hello friend that I write to thank you for uploading videos and aprobechar
important to ask a question: I have a 2003 nissan frontier v6 does not
serve the detonation sensor I want to change but I can not locate where I
could say is that I have heard that this sensor under the intake manifold
but I removed the distributor can not see anything so I ask guidance. now
let me thank you for the infformacion you can ofreserme. greetings.
@e3068 There are bolts which hold the covers on, they must be installed in
the same location from where they were removed because they are different
lengths of threading. Check out my video and you’ll see what I’m talking
about.
That’s because you have turn the crank back a tooth or the left cam forward
one tooth. You usually can’t install the belt on the marks because the
tensioner takes up the slack and puts it out of alignment by one tooth.
nice engine:)
How many miles were on the belt which was replaced? Was the engine damaged
at all? I just did one on a pickup and the timing marks don’t line up
exactly. In my case the right camshaft (from front) was off about a half
tooth. It was like that with the original belt still on, and the engine
runs just fine with the new belt being off about a half tooth.
Engine is the VG30E. I had same issue with timing marks not lining up on
camshafts. The mark on the right camshaft, viewed from the front, was off
by approximatly half a tooth. The engine did sustain valve damage. It’s now
a project vehicle that I work on when I have the time. The belt tension is
correct if you can twist the top section of the belt between the camshaft
90 degrees (1/4 turn) with your fingers – tip I learned from Pathfinder
forum. Wayne
@chansonbird you buy another Honda. The valves are bent now, guaranteed.
Unless you got lucky.
how do I put my car back on timing when the belt brakes its a 1998 honda
accord lx
WOW! nice job you made there I have a question from my 1990 same engine
VG30E in order to set the engine on time the two sprockets marks must be on
corner, the crankshaft pulley must be on the first tick mark on the left
“0” and the distributor on the #1 point at 9 o’clock? and that easy to set
on time the engine of the pathfinder?
Thank you, that was exactly what i needed
Thankx for your video very helpful . How did u removed all the metal covers
specially the buttom ones????
how do I put my car back on timing when the belt brakes
The 92 Mazda 3.0 was similar setup. The left (pass) cam must be turned back
CW a smidge so the timing marks will align after the belt snoogles over the
tensioner pulley. Great, quiet engine, but practically useless, although
quite complex.
@DanielJaegerFilms lol that’s called timing adjustment, daniel. you should
know that, you’re a self-proclaimed mechanic, aren’t you??
