Do not follow the instructions in this video. This process is completely
wrong.
Read the manual folks then judge for yourself.
what about the crankshaft. does that have to be aligned specifically?
This part of the timing belt with cam gears would so much easier if they
used cam gear locks instead of zip ties! Just saying
so is replacing the timing belt on the sohc motor the same way just easier
becaue 2 cams instead of 4?
Great video, thanks. 🙂
dont forget to insert the special tool into the two holes on the tension
pulley and torque it to 14ft lbs clockwise before tightening the bolt on
the bearing before you let the pin out
doing the crank pully last is the worst and you never use a screw drive to
“pull out the slack lol start from crank then go to the cam closest to the
firewall i have done a t belt on the 3.5 izuzu trooper it is the same setup
and it was easy as hell no screwdriver used to pull the slack
6:37 that is ONE bestial arm. Holy forestry.
Ok on my timming gears I have the white markings with the circles but I
aslo have white lines.Which ones do I use to get it in time?Also that
little pin you slide in I dont have to do this If I do a funn service
meaning tensionors pump everything right?U said something about needing a
vice to get it out ect..But I dont need to do the pin if I’m gettting a new
hydraulic tensionor right?Thanks man for the video this guy below has no
clue how much it helps..Im a broke single dad makes it possible.
Thats a good video. Its not easy making a video in such a tight space and
trying to explain every move Thanks
Bulldog clips from the office supply store much easier than the zip ties
and you can use them over and over!
Binder clips work better for holding the belt on and they are reusable/dont
need cut off.
nice song
Great video…. and thank you for the help
very, very expensive damage.
Whats funny is this is my exact car color combo and everything.Did u drain
the radiator?
you forgot to add to rotate the engine by hand 2 times and then double
check the marks before you put everything back together to be double sure
there is no contact.
Bravo!
Will the cams sometimes move 1/4 turn like they are spring loaded? I just
did a belt on a 3.0L saturn L-series and it was a balancing act to move the
cam onto timing mark, too far and it spun out and had to rotate back into
place. All marks are now lined up and the tensioner is tight and idlers as
well. Is this normal?
How much more labor would it be if you had changed the front main seal and
all 4 cam seals?
Mitsub bitchy
il fait n’importe quoi ne faite pas comme lui!,!!il a jamais lue la revue
technique,moi je l’ai faite sans marteau ni tournevis mais j’avais une clé
dynamométrique au moin et je me suis prit la tête que lui pour la
faire.Quand j’ai vue cette vidéo j’ai bien rigoler je ne lui donne pas
grand klm à cette distrib !!
You failed to set the base tension on the belt. You must use a snap ring
tool or other suitable tool to set the initial belt deflection on the
tensioner pulley. The tensioner protrusion must be within spec or else the
tensioner strut will move beyond its range, resulting in a loose belt and a
damaged engine if it jumps time. Just setting the “happy face” is not
correct and you could damage the tensioner mounting threads by hammering it
in by doing it that way. Be warned.
i have a ticking sound in my car mitsubishi when i start it on cold
mornings. Goes away after 10minutes. I read it was oil pressure not enought
so it builds up after 10min. Will a cambelt/timing belt fix this problem? I
have had a oil change and filter change.
i meant to say zip ties arent required and one more thing you didnt show
how to line up the crank sprocket theres poeple that dont know how to do
that either
dont forget to manually crank the engine around a couple of times by the
crank bolt and make sure the marks line up.
nice video, should have made one of these for my srt shift fork and shift
selector
next time you tensioned paper clips on the belts to hold onto the cams its
what we use at the dealer much faster
thanks for your comments, that’s a good point, I wish I would have included
it in the video. We try and cover all the points but sometimes we miss a
few, thanks for bringing it to our attention.
alot of these comment ive read are true the easiest way to do it is with a
steel plate paper clips it shouldnt be a two man job i can take the same
timing belt comepletely off and have it back on in less than thirty minutes
probably even less than twenty depending what mood im in but yea no sip
ties required also you can use them when you dont have clips though ill
give you some credit for using them and about the screw driver on the crank
pulley thats not needed
Next time use large paper clips instead of those white straps. Paper clips
are surprisingly good for that purpose
How hard is it to do the 6G74 engine in the second gen montero?
Awesome trick guys. Shoulda done it that way on my 4G63 =]
at 3:45 two men hands working like one.
Good video man … thanks for info
I’ve used binder clips to hold the belt instead of the zip ties. I think
it’s a little easier.
@dtoney1182 I just can’t see how anyone could post a video like this and
then some poor sod tries leavering a “RUBBER BELT” with a steel screw
driver and takes a chunk out of it and doesn’t realise he has done it,then
puts the lot together and then in a couple of weeks as it wont snap
straight away finds the belt was broken and has clattered his valves. Yeah
help people by posting videos on “how to do it”..but show them the right
way for gods sake so you don’t knacker there engines following it.
@merryhobgoblin I agree 100% with your comment. As a Mitsubishi technician,
I’ve replaced countless timing belts from Eclipses, Diamantes, Monteros &
Evo’s and I have NEVER done it like this. Using zip ties takes to long,
binder clips is the easiest way to go.
do you have a video on miitsubishi 3l its v6 1994 magna for timing belt
replacement?
Wire ties and journey FTW !! LOL but yea make sure u have an extra hand
running the new belt around the cams, not very fun by yourself . And yes
please do yourself a favor and start with the crank then work your belt up
the back cams then front , save your self a lot of time .also instead of
having to buy the special mitsu tool for the tensioner pulley , a socket
wrench and an allen wrench in one of the holes works perfect .
i was drivin my 3000gt vr4 awd this n that was in 4th racing hi rpm went
into 3rd instead of 5th lost all oil pressure herd valve ticking and car
wouldnt start again pistons are still good but i had ripped off like 10
teeth off my belt if i get a new belt do you think it will still run i can
post a video of how it sounds
