Finally a tutorial that isn't 2hrs long. Thank you. Your videos come in handy
Great video. You're a great mechanic with good attention to detail and awesome personality. I need to do my 3.4L 5VZ timing on my Tacoma. Thanks for the motivation!
Wtf man
Thank you very much. This has been quite helpful. Just a tid bit to add for anyone who might benefit...if you have the time to take your time and if you're also replacing radiator and AC Condensor, it can be helpful to disconnect both the Power Steering unit and AC Compressor from their respective brackets and lift them up and tie them up towards the front passenger headlight. That makes getting at the 4 bolts discussed @ ~11:20 minutes so easy. But, thanks for being so cheerful and insightful with your videos.
Even people that do not work on their own cars/trucks should enjoy your videos. The shortcut you show is priceless. Removing the radiator is a good practice to protect it as well as extra room.
You are truly a breath of fresh air and an inspiration Fay. Bless you.
Wow! That timing belt tensioner removal looks like some patience will be required. Thanks for the tool tip too!
Your cheerfulness is something I need to work on when I work on vehicles. Plus, you have a lot of good info on your videos. Keep on rolling!
Though unsure you check older videos for comments, I'm still gonna thank you! This 2 part series was so detailed, and full of tips that I pulled it off without a hitch! Thank you so much for this!
Great tutorial Faye. I like the fact you are passing on the short cuts and procedure in which these jobs are done.
Very impressive. You clearly know what you are doing. Excellent step by step instructions. Thanka for the tip on Identifix and Repairpal that you mentioned on your other videos. You are an exceptional mechanic and a natural actress-a rare combination indeed.
I'm not doing this job,but i like the amount of detail you go into other people post videos ,that don't let you know were those hard to see bolts are or what size they are very helpful stuff saves a lot of time.
What a happy mechanic 😁😎
Excellent video 👍
"Get Mommy's prying bar" - Lisa Simpson. I love the chicken foot yellow gloves. How chic. Faye, my worst disaster was rolling the "creeper" onto my 2ft. ponytail and getting my hair all wrapped around the wheel. I saw you secure your hair. Must've gotten you too. Lots of details and helpful hints. Excellent as always.
Thank you for this tutorial video! Even if some of us have done timing belts before, it's encouraging to watch this step by step. The cool tips like getting to the tensioner from the bottom is great. You and the chickens pets remind me of anime characters. This was meant as a compliment your an awesome lady. 💗
Just found your channel yesterday and I really love your videos. I’ve subscribed! You have a great quirky way about you and explain yourself very well. Love the way you laugh, I can tell you love working on cars.
Thank you so much for working so hard to provide this awesome, up close, bolt for bolt knowledge bomb! Dang! I look forward to learning more about this and more on Toyota engines! Stoked🤘🤙
I miss working on these! I’ve done hundreds of head gasket jobs on the 5vz engines back in the day with the Toyota recall when I was a dealer tech. Used to do 2 in one day and start on the third before I clocked out, awesome engines!
Glad you don’t seem to hate being a technician. Other auto tech TH-camrs seem to wish they were in a different line of work.
Omg this was so helpful. I was dreading having to take off the ac pump and knew there must be some other way, and you explained it so thoroughly and showed it well too. Thanks!
Great video. Love your style and how you show each bolt. I had a mechanic replace the timing belt on my 97 4runner the first time, now I'm going to do it and your video will be a huge help. Thank you for taking the time to make it and the others that you do!
Oh wow!! I am so glad it helped!!
Hafa adai faye all the way from the island of GUAM.great video VIBES to learn as you go,your video makes it a lot comfortable to work with my 3.4 project as well,I look forward to continue to learn and amaze how down to earth a mechanic can be verses myself back yard mechanic👍👌
Hello Feye, I have a psa. I did my timing belt last year, you got me through it like a champ. I did not have a way to put 180 ftp on the harmonic bolt. Barley engine tight. That bolt came out yesterday on the freeway. Made to work and home and the harmonic balancer came off the key, i coasted into my parking spot. The bolt was still in place and i was able to reassemble the harmonic balancer and key and it was still in timing. This time i had a lot longer wrench and extra bolt into the harmonic balancer and used the power of leverage and was able to get it crazy tight. Tonight ill have torque wrench and it will be set correctly. I have a black T100 4x4 extra cab. 😊
Faye I wanted to thank u. just from watching your channel I just purchased my first 4runner. it's a 02 last year of the 3rd gen it's body's nice. It's due for timing belt service and the bad part needs rear differential the play in yoke is very loose so loose at first thought was a u joint.
FABULOUS video, full of great info ,to the point, and great info, great on the visuals editing,and explaining what is going on and what you are doing.
it's interesting to see that job done with no short cuts, you are the bigger man.
It’s a good thing to overhaul the front of motor every 90k miles. People tend to neglect this so much. You can have such peace of mind knowing that everything is ok and the engine runs smoother too! Great video!
PS your chicken has wonderful eyes😊
Hi Faye. Man, nice video. Ive done lots of timing belts and chains replacement. I always refer to a specific manual for the vehicle. You are the only woman ive seen tackle this job by yourself. Good job. Rev. P.S. cool shop chicken.
I feel much better taking long drives with a fresh new timing belt. Nice demonstration. Thank you.
You are so welcome!! Thank you for watching!!!
Great job on explaining all the details on this t- belt job.
I love you enthusiasm.
I'm just an easily frustrated garage troll.
It's so hard for me to jump into a big job, it seems like I hit roadblock after roadblock, problem after problem, I get so angry.
Attitude is important.
Well there gal I just bought a 2002 4Runner w/ a 187,000 on it and like you I’m going thru it to up date all the parts that should be changed , the last sticker on the timing cover said it was done at 67,000 so I think it’s due, the thing I learned is that while the everything is open it’s a lot easier to change for whoever is working on it and will be expensive as you’ll be changing out alot of parts but it will save you more than having things done separately on the labor end of it. Ima old dude now so I’ll have an ASE mechanic friend of mine do the work and it’s a plus he’s an ex Toyota mechanic that has his own business, after seeing all that’s involved I guess I won’t feel as bad when I get the bill 😄 , love the vid’s so informative and you do such a great job ! 👍
Many thanks! just finished my first timing belt change on my 97 4runner! especially the pointers on the inner belt tensioner bolt were super helpful. (Whoever did the job before me decided that one wasnt worth it and they just put the tensioner in with a single bolt (YIKES). Needless to say I did it correctly! haha
Great attitude. Snap on tools tend to be thinner, I own sockets for that reason. Great video, especially using the engine on the stand!
I really appreciate the effort you went to just to show exactly how to do this job!
Glad it was helpful! :))
You bring up so many good points that you wouldn't know until you work on it.
Thank you!
Hey girl really nice job ... You're a very good professional. Loved your "zip zip tool" description. Cheers from Brazil!!!
Thank you for this one Faye. You are the best don’t ever change.
AWWWW thank you so much, what a wonderful thing to say!!
You are a JOY to watch!!! I have learned a lot from you. Thanks!
I been dreading doing this because it's the crank pulley bolt and not having a big impact. I'm going to try that home made holder trick. Thanks!
Excellent video. One tip on a wobble ext. What I do is put electric tape on a swivel. It allows it to swivel where you want it to .
Yes! I have seen people do this. I still think my swivel is a better option, because the wobbly can be too thick/wide to get past the AC bracket.
Hi. I have tape on some, no tape on others. It keeps it from flopping around, while still working.
That’s a real nice trick for accessing that timing tensioner bolt.
Great job again Faye love your videos! Can’t wait for part 2!
Thank you so much for this video Faye!! You saved my life and this timing belt job!!
The clutch can and radiator gave me a hell of a time last time I did a timing belt. Made me feel kinda dumb to be honest. Moral of the story: take your time and think things through :) great video and well thought out!
I'm blown away at how clean this Runner is
Shoulda seen it when I bought it 😓🤣
I watched part 2 first. Thank you for the fun video.
Your awsome videos are awsome. Actually got my first 4 runner at auction for 800.00 love it..
you have way to much fun Faye for a timing belt 😎 good to watch though 😃
My 2002 Tundra has that engine. I think I'll do the timing belt myself next time it needs it. Thanks Faye.
So cool! I think it was like my 4th or 5th one when I figured out I could access that tensioner bolt from underneath.
I have an extension with a wobble end and this worked great! Thank you.
Great information!
I would put the flat side of the puller away from the crank pulley so the bolts pull straight.
Lol thank you for not mm making this job magically easy like other channels that edit straight to the removal and skip the talk and not so magically easy removal. I like to get the harder bolts first and leave the easiest for last as a treat. And chicken got a well deserved shower lol !!.
Well done. I'm ready to give it a shot this weekend!
Faye is just so lit !! Keep up the good work dude
She reminds my college art teacher. So much energy.
Not watching your videos for tech info cause I'm a mechanic and most of stuff you show I either know or don't need i know cause have or am working on different cars.....however I wanted to say how bad ass it is how much you explain the job and give what size bolts and nuts are most videos you watch for tech info don't do that so just ANOTHER reason you ROCK!!!! I know I'm a broke record by now.....but come on who doesn't like compliments and hearing how gorgeous and smart and awesome they are....? Not trying to simp juat saying you rock and compared to most women and most channels on TH-cam......your a rockstar....😘🤣😘😍👍🤩💯
Awww thank you!! I appreciate that ☺️
If I was an aspiring mechanic, I am certain I would find these videos invaluable. I have never even seen a timing belt in real life until this video, and this confirms for me why I am happy to pay an expert to do this work rather than mess with this sort of thing myself. Ever!
You stay up in San Antonio. I'm down in Houston. I really enjoy the videos it's a life savers.
Awesome video!! I have to do my mothers on her Toyota. I would hire you all day long!! Great video with great detail.
I love your videos and your channel too Faye. Way to go.
Faye...you are great girl....thanks for doing those stuffs....I'm backyard mechanic too...😃😃😃😃
I can't wait to see you try to get that tensioner bolt back in place. Those are the things that make me... frustrated.
You r so beautifully goofy and accurate.i think im i love!!!
Clean, to the point, great tutorial! Thanks !!
Whoa. Perfect timing
Great job like ur sense of humor
You are a great teacher!
Beautiful and smart , great job.
Love the sound of your voice as you're explaining how to work on your car all sweet and perky I'd love to hear you explain how to disarm a bomb with 60 seconds on the timer lol
Haha I wish I knew how!!!
Well done awesome detail☺
Between you and Timmy the Toolman, us Toyota guys are covered! Have you done a video on flushing the A340F 4 speed? Not a machine flush, I’m talk about using the return line from the cooler. Thanks and great videos!
I changed my timing belt and put everything back together. Ran great, no leaks squeeks. But upon further looking. I found a 2" bolt on the floor. Yup, I guess the engineers really didn't need that one....🥴🥴🥴🥴
I’m replacing my 5vz engine on my 4Runner and was going to do the timing belt before putting in the new one
That's a big phat belt!!!
I really like your informative how to videos.
Great content and easy to follow.
In your intro why don't you say something like
Hey hey it's Fay!!
Lol
Peace from Australia!!
Excellent video.
Great informative video, realy love your approach to the job, a proper mechanic. Do you do any work on deisel engines, turbos, injectors etc?
Great video, So good.
Te estoy viendo desde Guatemala, bendiciones y buena mecánica
Hi love the video! I did my timing belt but my right cam moved a little to the left how should I reset that?
Hi Faye-excellent tutorial!! I have a 4th gen with the 4.0L with 125k on it- does it have a similar design and when should I be worried or checking for replacement of the timing belt?
l love how you love your work and you love life
# 1 failure of those 5VZ engines = timing belt tensioner ...
I can't wait till you do a 1UZFE swap on that 4runner ...
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Awesome videos Faye! Can I get a part number on the swivel your using? Need to update my swivel adapter no way will my current one fit in there. Thanks Faye!✌️
Keep up the v6 runner videos!!! My v6 just started whiting smoking after driving for 110km for hour and half ??? Cheers
Hi Faye ! love the channel. So i am attempting to help my brother on his 96 4runner we are struggling with the tensioner bolts. When we got there we found previous owner stripped the bolts on the tensioner. Do you have any tips on getting them out?
I know this is an older video, but just ran across it. For what I have researched, the V6 5VZ timing belt is a 60k service. The 90k service is on the V8 engines. Please correct me if I'm wrong since my new to me 5VZ is at 100k since last timing belt service., so only being 10k past instead of 40k past will help me sleep better at night until I can get this repair completed.
My studs came out as well from the fan mount bracket thing. Is it ok to hand tighten these studs then lock them down with the nuts? Or should they be tightened more and red Loctite?
Gotta love a gal that can fix my truck!
Very important to watch to the end as never can tell when chicken will make special guest appearance
😂😂😂😂😂
Your videos just keep getting better and better.
Love your work..
So in part two of this series, I see that the new tensioner has a pin in it. Would it be possible/ make sense to compress the tensioner and re-pin it to make removal safer and remove the possibility of stripping threads?
Great video ❤️
Faye, you are a fantastic instructor. Are you always this upbeat?
Faye- how do I move the crank exactly 270 degrees for valve adjustment check? Can’t find it in the book...
Pistons and pixie dust. Nice content.ty.
Thanks for this video Faye! I'm thinking one day of getting an older 4Runner with 3.4 and manual trans. Is the 3.4 easier to work on than the 4.0? I have a 2015 Tacoma, but I prefer the older 4Runners, especially the convertible ones, but thats another story, lol. Let me know your thoughts if you get time. Thanks again, looking forward to the next video and more from you. Take care!
What a great video .
Thank you!!!
Hello Faye….. I am working on my 4runner….which is the same year make and model as yours….and I had a quick question. I am about to purchase that harmonic balancer remover tool at AutoZone and I wanted to know if you remembered the size of the bolts you had to go buy that go with the remover tool.? Thank you very much! Also…since I’m commenting I wanted to say that I reference your videos often to do repairs on my 4runner…and they are by far my favorite. The filming makes everything about the repairs your sharing very easy to see and understand….and your commentary and explanations on things are probably more clear and dead on then any other repair reference videos I’ve come across….and I mean all of that sincerely (sorry for the run-on sentence🤓). You have a fantastic channel and at the risk of sounding crass the fact that you are a chick producing content like this makes it that much more awesome to me. Thank you thank you.! 😁
I guess NEVERMIND 🤣
