Workshop manual style how-to video showing how to replace your timing belt, idler bearings, front camshaft seals and front crank seals on a Toyota Hilux 2.8 - 3L diesel
I used your video to change my timing belt and I can’t thank you enough for the break down! Mine was a little different due to the AC but I got her done!
Хорошее видео ! Я владею Toyota Hilux 5 поколение 1991 г. 2,4 дизель 2L на одометре 278 000км.! Как мне знакома эта работа и приятен звук работающего мотора ! Автору крепко жму руку ! Вас смотрят в славном городе Тюмень !
Awesome thanks for this video, just what I needed! An easy way to get the crankshaft bolt off is the starter bump method; long breaker bar resting on the frame rail, then turn the ignition on for just a sec.
Hi, today I changed timing belt succesfully watching this Video. The only thing i had to do was to make a tool with 2 Holes in it to immobilize crankshaft pulley passing 2 bolts of the 4 smaller it has and Hold it to chasis. It worked ,the Bolt was very hard but could take ir off. Sorry My bad english, lot of thanks.
Hello from Southampton, Ontario, Canada! Great video. Your video will sure save me $. The only garage that works on these around here is 3.5 hours away and charges $130 per hour. I look forward to seeing all of your hilux videos.
Brilliant video, that is my engine and I have no history on it so I am going to change the belt and water pump as a matter of course. I have a small oil leak under that area so I will purchase both oil seals. You made changing them look easier than I imagined so thanks.
nice vedeo and a great explain how is doing a lot think"s!! great job mate!! a older TOYOTA engines is the one of the best and easy veihcle for fix cheers from norway
Absolutely superb video which im sure has helped thousands of 3L engine owners around the world. But i would like to ask if there is an obvious way of knowing for sure if your camshaft seal is leaking? What should we look out for?
Generally its good practice to replace the camshaft seal when you replace the timing belt, its cheap and pretty easy to do if the timing belt is already off, even if it isn't leaking now it probably would be the next time the belt needs replacing.
A good magnetic tray is awesome for keeping things like pulley keys from going missing. Also a good thing to remember is replace any worn Welsh Plugs if they are in behind the timing cover.
Thanks for posting! Very informative and you have great attention to detail. I’ve got a Hilux coming over from Japan and wanted to see what it would take to do this job.
Hey Marty T. You need a slight edit. I did my 99 hilux yesterday All went well. I did replace the water pump in the process. It took a few internet searchs to find out EXACTLY how and where the spring mounts on the lower water pump bolt. Maybe a picture edited in? Other than that a great video. Next job in the exact same job on my Landxruiser diesel.
So where did you pick up that alternator adjustment bracket? I can't find them anywhere. I removed the compressor from my 2.8 3L and now I'm stuck with that 20 pound chunk of metal that is now just a glorified alternator bracket. Killer video by the way.
Hi Marty, can you tell me if your what year is your Toyota Hilux , and is it a 2.4 diesel, also is the power steering pump mounted on a cast Iron bracket that also has a engine mount on it. I am doing a restoration on a 1988 Hilux 2.4 diesel, and fitting power steering, and need to know if the power steering bracket for my 2.4 diesel is the cast iron version. Thanks.
Thanks, need the bracket that is attached to engine block to fit the power steering pump to on my Toyota Hilux 2.4 diesel engine. Been told by one chap I need the cast Iron bracket, that not only is the power steering pump attached to it , but also the engine is attached to the chassis using the same bracket. It quite common on probably most Toyota Hilux models , but their is also on some models a pressed steel version, that is for the power steering pump only. Think the power steering bracket on you vehicle is the cast iron version, from what I could make out . Thanks again. .
Should the crank oil seal just push in with fingers....will it pop back out from crank pressure....I used Curil k2 on the seating to help it in but I would have prefered to have to tap it in or used a curing product like loctite? Can anyone help?
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. Here in the USA there is very little known about these engines and even fewer people who know how to work on them. Are you able to share the torque specs for all of the necessary bolts? Any chance you have a part number for the timing belt kit? Thanks again :)
hi mate I can't removed a crankshaft bolt!! I tried but the engine moved! I need finding a form for stuck a engine!! the bolt must going back for release right? moved to left side right? like a normal bolts? damm is really tight!! great vedeo mate cheers from Norway I appreciate if someone help me thanks cheers from Norway
hi mate thanks for putt this great vedeo!! I need change a diesel pump on my Hilux 2.4D (2L) 88model you think I need take away all front stuff's like you showed? great job mate I love that noise TOYOTA is a King of the 4X4 cheers from Norway
@@MartyTthanks for the reply. it's 243 loctite. Stops vibration loosening of nuts, prevents corrosion, seals against leakage, stops backlash in keyways and splines, Parts will dismantle with normal hand tools.
Thanks Marty Another noob question, please - when adjusting the crankshaft/camshaft/injector timing marks, do you always have to rotate the engine clockwise to align or is it permissable to rotate anti-clockwise? Will rotating anti-clockwise rotation damage the injector pump or camshaft? Cheers Tim
Great video. How many times have you done this. Your a pro👍🏼 how many miles do you have on your Toyota? Don’t get to see these in USA though their out there
Couple of tips ..... Crank shaft bolt ( bolt in the centre of bottom pully ) : Undo : fit a socket to bolt with a good breakerbar & hit with hammer in anti - clockwise direction with handbrake fully on and gearshift in 4th gear When re-assembling : Re-tighten to 170 foot pounds in clockwise direction
@@bensearle2232 use 4th gear because it is the gear with a 1:1 ratio. This means the gear will give a good resistance when you undo the bolt. Pull on the handbrake to help.
Do you have a part# for the kit? I am in Canada with an import right hand drive and cant find a thing. Or direct me to a web address that will ship to Canada please??
Hi Marty Thanks for the video. I have a Toyota Toyoace with a 3L 2.7 motor. Replacing the crankshaft oil seal I noticed a groove on the crankshaft (caused by the oil seal). I want to put a Speedi sleeve/Ready sleeve on to cover the groove - do you know the right sleeve to fit? Is it a SPEEDI SLEEVE 99169? Thanks
Hi Tim, No sorry not off the top of my head, best to get the vernier guage on it and talk to the bearing shop. Cheats way to do it is put the seal not quite all the way in so the lip is not in the groove.
Hi, very good video, my question is how do you do to immobilize the crankshaft when removing crankshaft bolt at 3:39 , do you put 1st gear in gearbox or it´s any other way ? Thanks, it`s an excellent video.
Another way to immobilise or stop the crank from turning whilst undoing the bottom crank pulley is to insert a tyre lever thru the front uni joint, or put a 50mm open ended spanner thru the rear uni joints . The cam shaft has a hex for 30mm open ended spanner . Just loosen the cam pulley lock nut and give the pulley a couple of whacks .....Hope this helps guys >>> PS I had a badly cracked head and needed to replace the head with a 2nd hand unit ,,,all went well RT
Hi my Truck Engine is the same like this. But the Crankshaft pulley has eaten out 2 times. This time I will put in a new key. The old Key is stuck. A mechanic changed the Crankshaft seal in front last 2 months and the Crankshaft nut and pulley fell off this week. Could be that the crankshaft is bent?..... Thanks!!!
I had replace my toyota hilux 1999 timing belt yesterday but since then when i started my car the whole car body was shaking and its sounds so noisy.somebody please help me..
You just remove the small black grommet in the clear instrument screen next to the trip reset and press the reset button with a small precision screw driver.
how to changhe oil filter on a 2 C diesel engine its too tight space i tried to use a chain tool but i couldnt turn it? its on a corolla last oil or service that shows on the previous owner card was 266 k and now its nearly to turn 275 k i check car info web site says every 10.000 kmh
Nope! :) It's the same here in Finland, with all timing belt intervals, oil changes etc.(with all cars) Beacuse of our cold winters it puts a lot more stress on bearing grease, the rubber of the timing belt, oil in the engine during cold starts and so on. Did a headgasket on my hilux last fall, not even two years on timing belt, and very moderate mileage. Noticed the idler pulley bearing was leaking grease when I was reassembling. No way that would have survived another 85k or so miles :P I know a lot of people that ignore the recommended service intervals, and they're usually the ones bitching the most when shit hits the fan, or in this case when valves hit the pistons ;) (Not saying you're that kind of person, just find it a bit funny :D )
@@I_M_Nonno Yeah, that was exactly what I was telling you, we're not getting screwed its a safety featire. Getting screwed would be to have same interval and ending up with s blown up engine :p I was giving an example of why it differs in different regions. Just beacuse we use metric I have no problem grasping the imperial system ;) My point being was that my car that runs mayby 15k kilometers per year, would not have survived the american-standard timing belt interval, due to the idler pulley bearing leaking grease already after 3 years, around 35-40k kms
PT Cruiser timing belt replacement. First, remove the engine. 2 days work at home. Nah, let it die. Riddled with electronic gremlins. Pity, as it's tidy, with a low mileage, but the dash is always celebrating some new disaster by lighting up like an Xmas tree, I kid you not, and they'r e always intermittent warnings, so a scan tool is pretty useless...
Why Loctite the crank and cam bolts. surely if they stayed tight after 100 000 klms they wont come loose again after being torqued correctly. Won't is just make it harder next time you try to do this job. I'm a massive fan of Loctite used correctly and in the correct place.
Plus parts ex-USA. And then there's the Jeep. I can see why Chrysler, (or Fiat-Chrylser, or Daimler Benz), crapped out. Jeep and PT made in Austria. Not Australia, but Austria. Bloody rubbish. Pretty bad deal for the money. A 4.7 V8 should last a whole lot longer than 250,000km, but I won't use it anymore, as they're prone to dropping valve seats at about this mileage due to poor design. I don't have the disposable income to buy new heads from the US, and to have them recontidioned in NZ is $2000 minimum, and the $800+ for a gasket set, and while its apart, you maight as well replace the OHC timing chains... I think not. I'm so paranoid about it, having seen the outcome when the HO engines eat valve seats that I haven't started it since it got it's last WoF, and now the battery is flat-as. Gonna get me a Hyundai.
