Yes, that will make it non-interference as long as you're still running stock camshafts.

It's to help relieve the slack in the belt. You can do it by the book and have a harder time putting the belt on and getting the timing correct. Just a little shortcut. You go to school as a child and follow the teachers directions because it's the first time you are doing it. After doing it 1000 times you don't think you find a way that helps make things easier?

@@PowerDynamix piece of cake to follow the service manual!! Set engine at 60BTDC, cams on the dots, check the vvti rotates 30 CCW and the belt goes on easy with slack in the tensioner side. LMAO at the video and hack mechanics.

@@jdub6797 yes very great we know you can follow the service manual. So how does the service manual tell you to time it without the timing cover and crank pulley on there? How are you going to set it 30 degrees back without the crank pulley on there? You could use a degree wheel and dial indicator, but most people don't have that. The timing gear on the crank only has the tdc mark. Also have you installed it with a kevlar racing belt? Those have a lot more tension and require you to compensate for the slack in the belt. What about with aftermarket ATI damper, or a race engine with a billet front cover? This is a general guide for people to do it via the timing gear directly. I've done over 1000 of these 2jz. Please report back when you have built at least 100 engines making more than 1200hp. Thanks for watching.

@@PowerDynamix LMAO with you trying to justify not doing the timing belt correctly. The timing gear on the crank has a mark for 60BTDC. That is your starting point and the cam gear align to the dots. Again LMAO at this video and replies from hack mechanics!!

We can reweld the gear back together if you need it fixed.

@@PowerDynamix true, however I have to pull the motor anyway. The oil pump failed, as well as cracked main caps. Gonna replace with billet main caps and a PHR billet timing belt gear.

@@DeanBKK let me know if you need the block line bore and machined. We offer those services as well.

@@PowerDynamix I'm overseas, got a bunch of machine shops local to me. Btw I just uploaded my latest video and used a 10 second snippet from your video in it. Hope you don't mind 😅

@@DeanBKKok sure no problem, just tag us. Link me to the video when you post it so we can give it a like.

Turn the gear to the left past the 15 degrees until you get all the slack out. You should then be able to have the gear stop on the mark when turning right.

@@PowerDynamix car is running good Thanks 🙏

Non vvti pretty much the same procedure as this. You just don't need to worry about the intake vvti cam moving around because it's just a fixed gear on the non vvti.

@@PowerDynamix thank you 🙏🏼

@@PowerDynamix is there any other torque specs I should know? I can’t seem to find a guide anywhere

You can use the stock ECU to control the trans. You will need a good standalone for the engine for best results.

@@PowerDynamix do you have any experience with the Ecu masters black ?

Did you fix it?

Never had in issue. The belt position is locked in by the cogged teeth. Kind of like how a bike chain is locked in place by the teeth, and those have plenty of chain grease on them. Only way the painting could cause slipping if it was a smooth pulley like the power steering or alternator pulley.

@@PowerDynamix see that’s what I thought as well, but everyone online said not to. I’m going to do it as well then.

They are painted stock cam gearz

its a service he sells, they paint your gear you send them

Yes that's the Teflon sealing ring. It's supposed to have he split in it.
