@Tony, Yes Tony, those two items are also good to use for lubrication on
hoses. And silicone paste or silicone spray is good too for rubber. Not too
much though because of the O2 sensors.
I also use liquid dishwashing soap or something like Armor all to lubricate
the inside of hoses and the O rings.
I actually forgot about using vaseline on rubber hoses to get them on and
off easier, and to help prevent leaks. Lately I’ve been using silicone
spray, though vaseline was used long before the invention of silicone
spray. Nice job!
Actually Joe, I’ve never cleaned the engine. Down here in the South we have
some pretty warm winters. When it does snow and salt goes on the roads, I
just take a water hose and rinse the salt-water solution off and it’s good
to go. I wouldn’t put a pressure washer on it. Just get some engine
cleaner, follow the directions and rinse her down. Salt on aluminum will
really start to corrode, so you may have a little trouble with that. That’s
for the comment Joe and for watching!
How do you clean your motor to sparkle that good? Did you just power wash
it or? I have an 06 and it is so dirty and corroded. Every single part from
bots to oil pan has been effected by the Ohio’s road salt.
i hate to ask how mush did all the parts cost for this. i have a 2005 and i
have a knock on the side of engine where the timing belt is at and the
machanic told me it would be over 2000 dollars to fix so took timing cover
of and i was able to take timing belt of with my hand very easy with no
effort. and there were metal flakes around tentioner pulley, but it was
knocking like if a valve was broken but after i got up to speed in it it
would ease up.
Thanks Dave, I appreciate it!
Hi gahunteroutdoors. If your belt was loose as you say, then you have a
very good chance that you got some valves bent. For a tech to pull the
head, get it repaired with new parts, etc. I’ve heard will run from
$1500-2000 dollars. If you do the work yourself, it will run you about
$700-800 dollars which is quite a bit of savings if you can do the work
yourself.
I think that after watching this video even a monkey can change Suzi’s
timing belt. I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you.
Hey man,This is an extremely helpful series.Highly appreciate your effort.
Thanks Joe for the comment and for taking the time to watch the videos.
Yes, the Suzuki is very easy to change the timing belt. And if you have to
pull the head, it’s really one of the easiest that I’ve worked on. Lot of
room to work around the engine to get at parts.
I’m glad that you’re liking the videos. As I mentioned earlier in the
series, these videos are for yourself and others in the hope that beginners
who want to work on their cars can see everything that’s involved. As you
can see with a little bit of detail, I feel that anyone who is mechanically
inclined can do this work. Thanks for watching Azim!
