WARNING ⚠️: DO NOT TORQUE THE TENSIONER AND PULLEY BOLTS TO 40/37 FT/LBS!!! 15FT/LBS PLUS 138 DEGREES!!! YOU WILL SNAP BOLTS.

@jamesmilliner3739 Год назад

Can you guys help me with this statement. I'm researching and preparing to do this job on my car. The tensioner and pulley bolts should not get the 40/37 ft/lbs of torque?

@OneTrickTech Год назад

no it was a mistake. only 15-20 ft-lbs max.

@austinlord2839 Год назад

So torque is only 15lbs? Everything I seem to read says 15lbs plus 135 degrees. just want to make sure I get this right

@Shoefly007 Год назад

What a great video! Thank you so much for this. My wife just finished an hour long drive after getting the timing belt/wp/thermostat housing/etc done. I have done timing belts before, but never felt so prepared. No running around for tools etc. the cam/crank locking tools were the best $16 I ever spent. I struggled a little bit with getting the timing belt on the right teeth until I used a clamp to hold the belt in place on the intake sprocket and then used a ratchet to gently align the exhaust sprocket. This also aided with getting the cam lock in and out.

@daisy9152 Год назад

Great Video, BUT ALWAYS TRANSFER THE TIMING MARKS ONTO THE OLD BELT, and then copy over to the new belt. That way you have the right number of teeth between all the timing marks which is the correct timing measurement. Often you will have to back the crank up slightly to catch the correct tooth on the belt.

@shinobusensui9395 Год назад

When I did the timing belt on my Miata , I did not do that. I did however confirm through the manufacturer manual the correct number of teeth, but does it really matter if you set the engine to tdc? If you have a non-interference engine and the belt snaps, you would have to reference at all. If I set cams in their proper position (usually marked by cam sprocket) and set number cylinder 1 to tdc, wouldn't it always be correct?

Thanks for the video Mr. Tech guy. I was quoted $1,200ish for parts+labor & $800ish only for labor. Versus $150ish for parts (including camshaft locking tool kit) Saved me more than $1,000.. thank ya... also, the extra bolt i had to order came as a torx.. but the one that came with the kit was a hex... hex bolt was thicker though. So no problem. Haha plus timing marks on my sh*t was really confusing. Was good to have my mum help keep a second eye on the marks on top to see if they actually line. Ugh.. dumb that there are marks everywhere that didnt make sense. And now we made a few more. Lol.

@NORIaquaCh 3 года назад

Thank you. I'll be using this to do my timing belt, tensioner and pulley kit on my Z18XER next month. Just a note to anyone reading this, the flywheel tool is only required if your car is a manual transmission. If it's automatic, then skip the flywheel tool setter. Update: To further clarify, you still need to lock the engine for automatic transmissions, as the engine will turn when you torque the crankshaft bolt. You can insert a long thin gauged metal pin or rod into the opening holes at the crankshaft area. This prevents the crankshaft from moving, and physically locking it from moving when torqueing the bolt.

@OneTrickTech 3 года назад

yes thank you for that!

@blessedredeemed1359 2 года назад

The kit also includes left and right cam phaser locks, a timing belt tensioner pin and a cam lock (locks the intake and exhaust cams, you need to take the valve cover off to do this).

One huge mistake: Water pump is difficult to access, so you replace it while in there. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE is why it's in the kit. With that, the missing aluminum bolt is ridiculous! Get the tensioner and serpentine belt also. Insanity to not get it all. I have this engine, 2012 Sonic 5M. At 76,000 miles I trust it to go anywhere, 100%.

@willstarttomorrow7131 Год назад

I have the same set of cam and flywheel locking tools, but after positioning the flywheel locking tool in the same place as you did I tested it and it did not hold the flywheel nor the crankshaft from turning. Did you test this out after installing your lock tool? The manual recommends this before placing the camshaft locking tool in place. I believe this is because they don't want excessive force put on the camshafts alone when trying to turn/loosen the crankshaft pulley bolt. Thank you for posting btw! Very helpful.

Excellent video !!!! Thankyou for the time it took to do this . My question if I put the flywheel locking tool in does that mean I don’t need to lock the cams? I have the kit and it comes with a cam locking tool. I have a standard transmission Cruze if that matters .I guess I should specify I mean the cam locking tool that goes under the valve cover .

@OneTrickTech 3 года назад

for standard transmission you just need to lock the cams. no need to lock the flywheel, I don't think the tool would fit either. hope that help!

@MTorn 2 года назад

You only need that locking plate if you need to remove the camsprockets (f.i. to change a leaking oilseal). So NOT for timingbelt alone. The fixationtool for the flywheel can be left in untill you fix the crankshaftbolt to specifications, but than you can't check the belt by turning it twice....

@OneTrickTech Год назад

Depending on the locking kit you got, the tool that goes on the valve doesn't always fit correctly and sometimes doesn't fit at all. The tool to lock the camshaft is enough to do the job but locking them at the other end to is for extra precaution, but you will need to replace the valve cover gasket as well.

What is the hypothetical mileage you could get out of the stock belt? Before trading in our 2012 sonic it had a little over 130k miles on the stock belt. It was mostly highway driven miles so I'm sure that possibly helped.

@OneTrickTech 2 года назад

Most timing belts are due at 100k miles. You can get more miles out of it all depending on the conditions of the belt. The belt can be good but the tensioner and idler pulley could be on their way out so that's why 100k miles is the safe number.

Not the safest thing at all, and yet.... on one car or another that was a standard transmission.... when trying to remove the crankshaft bolt without an impact gun.... and because with turning the crankshaft bolt with the breaker bar the motor would turn because the clutch would slip... at the beginning of the job I had a breaker bar/socket on the crankshaft bolt then used the starter motor to spin the motor.... WHACK...whirr. Very dangerous..... but if it is cold outside as you lie shivering on a cold cement floor, and you ran out of swear words. AGAIN.. determine whch-a-ways that breaker bar is gonna swing. This is a last ditch effort of a desperate person.
