Kia Spectra Sephia Timing Belt Water Pump replace 

Good call. You'll be happy you did! Take care.

I have a 2000 kia Sephia. I got it in 2008 with 194,000 miles on it. It now has 294,000 miles on it. It's been a great little car for my daily driver. My timing belt did break. It bent 2 exhaust valves in the number 1 cylinder. I got the head rebuilt. I did all of the tear down and reinstall of the head, and timing belt kit. But I have not replaced the water pump. As far as I know or can tell it's the original water pump. And I have never had an issue with it or the clutch, or front suspension or rack and pinion . I have replaced 1 engine coil, the radiator, alternator, and the cv axles and in 10 years of ownership I have replaced brake pads and brake shoes... once for brake shoes twice for front brake pads.... It's been a really reliable fun to drive car...

Thank you very much

we have learned to never say never when it comes to interference motors. we assume the worst and celebrate the victories.

The Car Doctor celebrate the victory of a non-interference motor design? Lol. I guess you could celebrate that something did what it was designed to do. Maybe we should celebrate every time our brakes work too.

Is there a reliable list of interference engines? I believe my 2006 Spectra has the G4GC engine. Is this an interference engine?

Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes not but we have found that many "non-interference" engines can bend valves under the right circumstances.

this is a T8 motor,not a BP.

This is a T8d motor. Non interference. Is is not a Mazda b series motor. The b series motors were in the older model sephias. They were also non interference motors. Mazda designs, but kia manufactured them.

glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching.

+KIPP KEATING Right on! You can do this!

Not true. This will bend more valves than you can shake a stick at. But don't tell anyone. 😀

The Car Doctor the t8d is supposed to be a non interference motor, designed after the mazda b series motors.

I actually own one of these cars and when the timing belt snaps (premature failure) it bends valves. I got lucky and only had 10 valves that got bent.

Mike Klassen , you must have a different motor then. The t8d is non-interference. I had one of mine apart, put the motor at top dead center and rotated the cams without anything hitting.

+Steve Rob Don't drink the koolaid!

+Greg Wells man I haven't had Koolaid for 30 years, didn't know it was still out there LOL

+Thomas EXOVCDS it's a NAPA brand. I think it's a central tool. I really don't like it and want to get a SnapOn to replace. When I'm using the torque angle feature on a Subaru head bolt when I run one of the buttons against anything it changes the torque value and resets the reading which really sucks. The LED lights are super cool however.

+The Car Doctor Good to know, thanks for getting back to me!

Its actually a Carlyle DTW38FL from NAPA

No way.

@@ThecardoctorTV How long you think?

for cold weather. Block heater, transmission pan, battery blanket. Standard for northern areas. Not so much here but this one likely came down from Fairbanks area.

+Lone Wolf Boy I hope you didn't bend any valves. I'd its a 1.8 DOHC engine I believe it's exactly like what is shown here. Most timing belt kits will include alignment instructions. Hope it has a happy ending.

I use snapon torque wrenches. I use a 3/8" drive for smaller fasteners and a 1/2" drive for stuff like wheel nuts

No

i saw other video about kia sephia timing belt on youtube, they dont remove the big crank bolt, only remove 4 small bolt,,, ..is kia sephia have different version harmonic balancer ?

Johan Lau yes, you can remove only the 4 bolts. You would have a harder time getting the pully out though, since the ac lines are in the way.

johnathan wood true, I removed 2 support bolts on the ac lines and lowered them enough to remove it, that big bolt was just not breaking loose and.kept rotating the gear as I dont have air impact wrench

+brandon leal It's there to asist in proper adjustment of the timing belt but if done properly you could go without. Just need the right tension on the belt. Thanks for dropping by.

+David Vilchez I couldn't be further away and still in the USA. Haha. Alaska!

+estrelladelnorte1308 Yep...Good stuff!

+jesse cobern Oh thanks, its not so bad now since I got the liver transplant. Drinking that kind of koolaid really helps if you need to loose weight and internal organs. haha. Thanks for watching!

I only charged for the coolant that went into the radiator, not anything I drank. haha. I actually forget but I think its $700-800 ish

thank you so 400 is fair. If the water pump doesn't stop my over heating issues what else do you suggest I look at? i changed the thermostat already. I also don't get hear into my vehicle at all if that helps. Thanks in advance.

Well not much else besides radiator or head gaskets. Hope you get it figured out

The Car Doctor thank you
