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!
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.
when my water pump went, the belt slid off and shred! psngr side intake cam
spun, couldnt be sure how many degrees. it is 90 out now. what are my
chances of bent valves?
i have an 05 wrx that had front end damage.. the impact cracked a cam
gear.. so nothing is tdc. doesn’t appear that the cams/crank moved though..
the belt was still in place before i pulled cover. my question is, at what
point/mark on the crank gear are piston recessed so i can turn the cams? 1
intake and 1 exhaust is already at closed position on opposite sides.
On the passenger side, you don’t need to rotate them into place. All the
valves are closed on that side when you put the belt on. As long as your
crank is set on the timing mark (not the arrow) and you only turn one at a
time you can rotate them however you want. It’s pretty clear when all the
valves are closed on a cam because it will turn freely for 90 degrees or
so. Plus they will all want to return to that position due to the valve
spring pressure.
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
Peter – on the DOHC as shown in this video, is the direction for rotating
the right/passenger cams the same as the left/driver cams? We mistakenly
removed our belt before putting the crank and cams at the installation
marks and am now unsure what specific sequence to follow to get it all
lined up for the new belt!?
Excellent video, thanks! I will be installing a new timing belt tonight on
my ’98 Legacy. I have done other cars before but was a bit concerned with
the number of things to line up on the EJ25D.
and to think I was going to let the dealer rip me off. As long as you
follow the marks or create your own, I shouldnt have any worries. Only
problem is, mines is still in the car. Thanks for the vid man, instant help
wow that was quick thanks! I’ve changed teh belt on the SOHC but never the
DOHC but this makes it very easy.. however I will be doing this and my
headgaskets at the same time.
Thanks Peter. The reason I’m concerned is that at the moment, the Right
exhaust cam is open since I can feel the spring pressure. I wanted to
return it to the marks/closed but want to rotate it the correct direction –
if that matters on this one. Someone else said if my crank mark is pointing
down, I need to totally unload the cams before turning it up and they
explain how. Does that sound right?
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!
we just bought a complete timing chain kit and replaced all parts, we also
cleaned the oil pump as that was the main problem because its internal
vains were blocked with viscous oil, we sync time and start the car, but
suddenly in a short period of time of 3 or 4 minutes it started a sound
like if the timming chain was loose despite of the new parts and that we
have cleaned the oil pump. So I do not know if it could be that the
tensioner is not doing presure on the timing chain because of…
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.
the oil is not circulating. So do you think it may be that the engine might
be block also like the oil pump with viscous oil and it’s not sending it’s
propper pressure to the hidraulic tenssioner? what can be cause the car to
work and suddenly to cause the chain to jump the cranks and go out of time?
Good video- I like that it is short and fluid. Having the text box arrows
point is helpful too. You can pause it to read them while you do it if
necessary. The tripod is a good idea too. I move around a lot in my videos.
I see you’ve put some real preparation into this. Great job. = )
Hi, can you tell what kind of engine stand you used on that DHOC engine. I
have the same engine and planning to pull the engine. do you think the
engine stand the Harbor store sell will work? Thanks

If you combine this video with the paperwork that is included in your Gates
TCK328 kit, you’re pretty well set as far as belt installation goes.

Are the cam sprockets reverse threaded? I used an impact and breaker bar
and still cant get the thing off?????????? Is it really that tight??

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

Nice, try doing that while it’s still in the car buddy..

great info, espically about what direction to rotate the left cams
Do I really need the pulley holder, and crankshaft holder tools?
wow that was quick thanks! I’ve changed teh belt on the SOHC but never the

headgaskets at the same time.

made that look soo damn easy. *applauds* i freaking struggled D: Excellent
video, now i know the secret 😀
didnt he have to mark the pulleys so the valves dont messed up? i dont get
it…hes working it like its a serpatine belt 0_o? man im confused..

why don’t you drift off a cliff you idiot! this was an instructional video.

Excelent! I spent 2 hours before I wathced this clip. It then took me ten
minutes, wow! You’re an experienced mechanic Pete.
Wow, thank you so much for posting this. It made the belt installation a
thousand times easier than what the manual suggested.
the oil is not circulating. So do you think it may be that the engine might

Very useful demonstration!! You deff dont want your timing marks off
otherwise you will be “stranded, caught in the crossfire” 😉 I miss SRV

good video if the camera wasn’t 68 feet away!

nice
the cams on the left, do you need to rotate the top cam clock wise and the
bottom cam counter clock wise in order to avoid valve damage?
Damn handled that shit, hopefully its that easy when I put mine on
