Great tip about putting the cardboard against the radiator I have done that for several years when working on any vehicle that requires removing the fan and or the water pump or whatever is on the front of the engine. 👍
Easy way to save yourself from an easy accident.
This is BS!!! Why don't you have more subscribers? ....... C'mon people, get your shit together.
One of the best and most informative videos I've ever seen on the 3.4 . .
Well done!!!!!!
Thank you! I'm glad you found the video informative.
Awesome video yours was the only one that talked about keeping the belt loose on the tensioner side. And helped me alot thank you!!
I'm glad that it was helpful. Thank you!
Really well done video very well explained , clear instructions and the right tools. That little tool for the tensioner saves lots of time.
Ya, it is a must-have if you plan on doing a few 3.4l's. Thank you!
Best timing video ever! Putting mine back together in the morning! Thank YOU so much! Love my 3.4 Taco! :)
I'm glad the video was helpful. Thank you.
Классное видео👍👍 у меня land cruiser Prado 95 двигатель 5vz👍👍👍люблю этот двигатель и машину
Привет из России 🤝
I just deleted all my other saved timing belt videos so I hope your headline is accurate.
Most definitely is!
hey Drew i did the same thing yours is my only timing belt video! Awesome Thanks so much man keep the great videos coming.
Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video and got use out of it.
FYI I had to Google this but there are 50 teeth between the two top timing marks on the belt if you're using an after market belt.
Great vid thanks! Better than TRQ's video😎👍
I wish you would have included the air conditioning loosening and tightening adjustment.
Btw awesome videos I just subscribed 🤙🏼
Excellent idea with the cardboard
Thank you!
One thing I noticed during the assembly was that there were no torque specs applied.
Hey drew I have a question about the thermostat bleeder valve I seen manuals say to put them in with the bleeder valve in the 6pm position which is better the up on down position I am about to do a water pump and timing set with the new thermostat as well
You are correct. The manual says to install it in the 6 position. This is the only vehicle I have seen that, so I installed it at the 12 position still. I have heard that either way will not cause an issue.
@@shoptimewithdrew thank you I will be trying that 12 position
so is it ok if you should turn one of the cams off mark to turn it all way around to the timing mark again? I did this and now am worried it will mess it up. Love your video sir.
On the 3.4l, you can turn the cam completely around. This engine is not an interference engine.
The thermostat jiggle valve is supposed to by at the 6 o’clock position. Isn’t that true for all 5vz engines?
You want it between 11 and 1. Place it at the top so if there are any air bubbles they can get by the thermostat.
@@shoptimewithdrew the factory manual for my 2001 says 6 o’clock though. These engines apparently run hotter when at the 12 o’clock position
You are right. That is what it says. I have never looked it up. Everyone I have taken off was at the top, and all that I have installed have been at the top.
Enjoyed your video, I just replaced the water pump and thermostat on my 1990, unfortunately to no avail still overheating, head gasket on the 3.0. I acquired a 1996 with a recent timing belt lots of new parts shocks brakes etc but with cracks in the frame. I will be doing the conversion to the 3.4, I love all these videos as you show tricks of the trade for installs etc, I feel confident I can get it done. Going to save my second gen is in great shape otherwise.
Thank you! The 3.4 engine is a really good engine. If you maintain them, they can last a long time.
Good video. Can we star up the engine in dead top center after replacing the timing belt?
I'm not really sure what you are asking. Once the belt is on, it can be started at any time.
My left camshaft keeps turning when I pull the pin from the idler tensioner
As long as it all lines up with your timing marks, you are good. Rotate it around once and verify your timing.
Hey drew, when the cams gears are lined up with the markings and harmonic balancer is at zero , but the crank gear dotted mark is not line up with the nipple, it’s off by a tooth, how do you get it to all lined up?
You will need to remove the belt and rotate the crank slightly. If you get a factory belt, it will have timing marks on it. If the marks line up, it will be in time even if the cam and crank are off the engine marks slightly. Hope this makes sense.
Ok I’ll have to try that, hopefully it will work out for me. Thank you!
One of the 12mm nuts of the 4 from the fan is rounded on mines. What’s the best way to get it off?
A good end wrench. I have had to pull the bracket off with the fan and then get the nut off. That is not fun.
Can you replace water pump without having to touch timing ?
No, the belt has to come off to replace the waterpump.
When you were reassembling and doing the 1 rotation, why did the right cam mark wind up on the left cam mark?
If you are talking about the marks on the belt, they will only line up on the initial setup. You would have to rotate it several times to get those to line back up. After the initial setup, you go off the marks on the engine, not the belt.
@@shoptimewithdrew Thanks Drew. I turned everything one full rotation after initial setup and every mark was one tooth off. But to begin with, every mark was lined up.
I wonder if it slipped a little. Maybe your tensioner is going out.
@@shoptimewithdrew No Sir, nothing slipped. I went an entire rotation clockwise and brought all of the cam and crank marks back to TDC and it had moved one tooth for each one. It was many turns on the crank to get the marks back to the top. That is why I asked you the first question about the belt marks the other day.
I guess I'm just not understanding. Is the timing off, or is it ok?
Is it necessary to do a coolant flush n when doing this?
If you replace the waterpump It will need new coolant.
Great video! What is that you're using to clean the front of the engine as you go?
Thank you, it is just brake clean.
@@shoptimewithdrew Awesome, thank you!
I wish there was a utility that you could strip the music out of these posts, I could not lower the volume any lower, and still, it is annoying, I want to see how to change the timing belt on my vehicle but not to listen to the new wave music channel.
Awe😂
Poor baby! I hope u succeed with what u need to do all while listening to that new wave music🤣🤣
