Thanks for the Vid! Sorry to see the Youtube police got your audio.
LOL i agree on you with this one however ive got a EJ25… and im trying to
look for a tutorial… doesnt seem that anyone has made one.
Good video mate shame about the sound
good video, except for one part – compressing the tension plunger and
sticking in the pin. Are you using a sword to ease it in? I can’t tell how
how do it in the video… I had to pull the tensioner stuff and use a vice
to compress the plunger. Not too bad of a task, though. I bet I can do it
in less than 2 hours the next time.
you are the man…Putting the timing belt on looks complicated, looks like
you need 3 or 4 hands.I don’t like the boxter setting , and it’s a tight
spot to work also.Congrats on the work , next time change water pump and
idler bearing ,you dont want to do that work twice.
well my tenshioner broke and the belt sliped a bit so i need to find out
how to line all the pullys back up before i put the new belt on
doin mine and its takin piss right now! wish it did only take 5.32mins 🙂
wheres the sound at cant hear a dam thing man
50 cent would b gud
Well i do apologise crazy, I assumed that once you have lined up your
camshaft marks before you remove the belt the mainshaft would remain in the
correct position so unless you are stupid enough to turn the engine over
with the belt off there was no need to point this out. Oh, and by the way
if you are stupid enough to turn the engine over with the belt off you
should not be attempting this job in the first place.
did you mime this… and yes, I would like to hear Sinatra….! 🙂
Read my reply on the video.
Thats what the service manual reccomends, could use a clamp to do also
excellent vid, pity no sound, im doing mine soon so might make a vid myself
as this was really helpful, thanks for posting 🙂
easier said than done
@SGTINJ I don’t know how to break this to you but…….HE’S DEAD!!!
Can anyone tell me how to ensure the valve lash adjuster contains no air?
After the rocker covers off of course.
I just had mine done professionally. The guy said you MUST also do water
pump, crank seal, both cam seals and idler/tensioner. The water pump is
turned by the cam belt but water pump shaft can break after 100000 K, not
good.
What happened to the sound, No sound :11/01/11
@BJs4MePlz I would if i knew what an ENJOY bay was.
that battery is ancient!!!! 😀 thanks for the info bro 😉
What would you like to hear, frank sinatra singing “my way” maybe?
he didnt even mention the mainshaft alignment mark
no sound ? i thought my speakers were gone lol.
my manual says to leave the tensioner bolts slightly loose when you release
compresion, theres only two bolts holding the tensioner on so you can take
it off and use a vice to compress SLOWLY. should take three minutes
according to manual.
@BJs4MePlz I would if i knew what an ENJOY bay was.
how much time would a garage take to change a cambelt on a subaru impreza ?
and what price would be ok to pay them to do this ?
You should have locked the rh cam pulleys otherwise they can make contact
once they spin when you take the belt off. But good job for using a dayco,
now i know how to put mine on to line the marks up correctly
Well done.
no sound 🙁
very good vid mate that has helped me a lot so thanks mate well done
