I was more interested in his work than the music. Great job my friend, very helpful! I appreciate you taking yiur time and means a lot of the person you are. Thank you once again!
Don't know why people are asking about the cam, it's the crank he's using. And you only want to move it to set the timing marks (the big nut he used is just a spacer to help secure the bolt to move crank). Once you remove the belt you don't want to move the crank or cams or you'll screw up the timing mark alignments. And the trick he used to remove the crank (shaft) bolt is a socket and breaker bar wedged up against frame. I quick crank of the engine (do not start) loosens it. Typically there is a locking pin near the flywheel (with most cars) then you remove the bolt with a breaker bar or impact driver. But this method works fine without having to find a "special" locking pin tool. I recommend replacing the crank bolt with new since it's usually tightened at a very high ft lb torque spec and the old one may have been stretched and or stressed to failure if reused.
OK so you recommend a new bolt on crank shaft pulley with the new timing belt. What else needs replacing? Water pump? tensioner pulley or tensioner itself? any rubber hoses?
Got it, tensioner is hydraulic ,lots of pressure. Remove 2 bolts and to push it back in, i put on a jack between the car. Actually lifted car a bit before going in. I used a peace of coat hanger to put in hole. Worked.
Awesome music, ending with Depeche Mode...awesome. I've got new heads, new gasket set, now to order timing belt kit....jesus, it sits in the driveway looking cool, and lonely....
Your awesome man thanks!!!!!!!! my Montero has 326000 miles on it and the water pump just went out on it, all this time i thought I had a timing chain lol, and the old belt didn't look that bad when i pulled it out. So helpful Thanks again!!
Did you say that your original engine that you bought new lasted 326 000 miles? seriously that is over half a million km. How did you do this, are you a taxi driver or some long distance delivery service? Are you saying that the timing belt lasted 326 k miles????????
If he needs to tell you then probably better if you don't mess around with a timing belt if you don't have experience. Or just go on a Mitsubishi forum they probably have more info. Though I rather have him talking then that annoying music.
thanks for video very helpful.. but after replacing the belt on mine got a loud knocking noise on the right side very loud sounds like bad lifters or broken valve springs.. any ideas???
The loud ticking noise means there is something up with the oil level... I use to have it... I spoke with someone at mitsubishi who told me that the oil wasn't flowig through the engine correctly and usually cleaning it, which entailes putting 0 weight oil in the car during oil change, letting the oil run through the car then emptying it would fix it... Mine stopped after I added oil.. But you may have to do the oil change thing to clean the sludge out of your engine..
I got a 2001 mitsubishi montero sport xls 3.0 if the timing belt broken so the motor need to be rebuild?? If so would it be better to rebuild or put a LS in it 🤔??
One question I have to measure the compression of my engine, it needs the engine oil because I took the oil out of the motor or did I have to leave it to be able to measure thanks
Very helpful video. Unfortunatley i am trying to take my clutched engine fan off and you dont really show how you did it. Just all of a sudden took it off and when you "show it" mostly off screen... do i have to unbolt it with a wrench? I cant find anything on it.
I remember my sister bought one of these brand new in 2002 and I liked it... but I liked my other sister's 2000 Xterra much better! I'm looking into these again because the second generation Rodeo is my all-time favorite SUV. They just are more fun to drive for me than the 4runners and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen Pathfinder ( although I did love my 95 Pathfinder) but the Rodeo can have transmission issues, and the Xterra feels too small for me in the cabin. This leads me to the Montero Sport. From my recent research I'm hearing that they have little to no transmission issues and have a ridiculously reliable motor apparently. Sounds like they're quite possibly somewhere between a Nissan or 4runner from that time period... is this true?
@coolhand447 There is a special tool I did not have so I had to manually do it, I did not want to show the wrong procedure, here is what I did. You leave the pin in the auto tensioner, loosen the pulley and rotate counter clock by way of 2 holes on pulley until the tension pressing on the auto tensioner allows you to slide the pin out easily. torque the pulley to 35ft/lb spin engine 2x and recheck pin if it still slides out easily then your good.
i know this is an old thread, but the video shows he puts the belt and then jumps to the auto tensioner. When i rotated the crankshaft pulley the timing marks did not end up correct. What are we missing? before he jumps to the next scene you see him grabbing a wrench to the camshaft sprocket, what did he do?
Michael Bateman did you ever figure it out? I’m doing a timing belt on one and I can’t get the camshaft marks 100% where they are supper to be. Every time I put tension on the belt it mover the cam sprockets 2-3 mm and it’s driving me insane.
Thank you so much. Great video. I learned everything I needed to know for this job from this video. I'm not sure if you've answered this yet but what camera did you use? I was able to see everything very well. Thank you!
Nice vid. I am doing this exact same procedure right now, but my problem is after i set the timing, and rotate the crank, the crank pulley spins until all the slack is out of the belt without cams spinning, so after i spin 2x, the crank is 1 tooth ahead of where it should be. Also what is up with the crank sprocket? It slides back and forth? When its all the way back as close to the block as possible, it has play in it, but when you pull it outward seems like itlocks into place?
I get all the part of takin everything apart after i get first knotch to its point how do i get the top ones to match? Not really a fan of mechanics but would be nice to know how to do this. My timing belt and water pump were replaced about a month ago now i have to tear her down to replace harmonic balancer. Smh and that was paying a mechanic to do it.
does the noise go away after warmed up? if not were the timing marks lined up correctly after you rotated the engine by hand 2 times? if the noise goes away then its valve lifters which are plugged up, if not then you may have engine damage to mis-installation of the timing belt
Thank you very much for making this! I am doing the same job on a 200 montero sport. I also replaced the cam and crank seals. It was a bitch getting the cam sprockets off! I read some info on a Montero Sport forum that showed pictures of water pump replacement, It said not to forget to put new o ring on water pipe before installing pump. But there is no water pipe on my sport 3.0L. The pump just bolts in, I don't see any water pipe, and no o ring with kit except for thermostat o ring.Whats up?
I just had my timing belt changed on my 02 montero sport 3.5 but they didnt replace my water pump. I told them not to because it only has 85k miles on it. But should it have been done?
I have 97 Montero SR with 171K that needs timing belt service like the video. Additionally tune up valve cover gaskets, Spark plugs etc. However the most in depth is valve stem seals. What do you suggest. Oh we could do without the cool EDM and have your narration for the repair. Tony
T Clark valve seals are a long job. I have done them without removing the head but you need a good compressor and the right tool I used a similar tool like the Neiko 50646A along with the Lielse 36050. If your going to do this yourself become familiar with their operation
Jason Pez do you live in Northern Virginia around D.C.? If not can you recommend a technician? Although their pricey I feel stronger going to the dealer with at least a 12 month warranty? Timing Belt are very involved, you need the right tools and know how not someone making a quick buck. Additionally, I need valve cover gasket and tuneup. Have you heard of cam seals leaking in the rear of the head and in the front. The Montero is a solid truck except for the valve seals. Sure wish you were around for us to negotiate the repairs. I have access to a full garage with most of the tools??? Tony
Thanks for the video it has helped me a lot so far. Getting the harmonic balancer off was way easier your way. If you get a chance add some great music like - Living with Video (Richard F Dub), The World Is Mine - Deep Dish Remix, Lollipop Machine (Original).
22:44 still not sure how to push in timing tensioner. My cam seals are leaking, AGAIN. I dont want to take off crank pulley. May have to. Maybe ill get breaker bar at home depot then return it. Lol. I have one at work. I forgot.p.s had a hard time tightening crank bolt w/o proper pulley holder. I think i used extra large oil filter pliers
Very heplful video! Is there a timing belt inspection window somewhere? I need to check mine. What's the easiest way to inspect it, or how much needs to come apart?
There is a small inspection window on most. Its on the RH (pass) side cam belt cover. But to be honest its useless to inspect this way. Timing belts don't usually show wear unless they are way overdue and coming apart. The manufacture recommends changing the belt every 5yrs or 60,000mi.
First and for most, I'd like to thank you for putting up this vid. I understand that you moved the crankshaft to TDC, but I did not see how you got the timing gears to be at the needed marks in your vid at the time of 11:50 I am going to replace all the gaskets, o-rings and seals, even the rear main seal, and of course the timing belt, she just got over 250k and going hard, she is leaking from two valve stem seals into two pistons and from the valve cover. Please advice.
I have a 3.0 engine and I bought a timing belt for it and can't seen to get it in. Is there a trick to this? The part number for the belt that I bought was a Duralast #95259. Someone shed some light on this please :( Thanks in advance.
Ok so every 2nd belt change you recommend a new water pump right? How long before you have to change a timing belt every 100 000 km?? or 100 000 miles??
replacing the the metal ring for the position sensor behind the timing gear sucks . the half moon key is a bitch once it falls out and lining the metal ring up and hoping it lands in the right spot is ruff..lol timed it twice just like this to find out the metal ring was wollered and wouldnt sit right.. but sweet video man now for fun set a two stage holley on a 85 k20 350 small block at high altittude cant seem to find that video... much love
Jason Pez I've changed countless water pumps on gm products but never tackled a job that involves the timing belt with it. A lot of this vid shows the back of his coat or his sleeve when you need to see what he's turning and where. I'll figure it out but it's always good to be able to see it first to shave time.
tideivlife1 the water pump that was replaced was just the impeller half you can purchase the entire assembly but this was more cost effective. Once you remove the timing belt the pump is pretty straight forward.
i tried changing my timing belt but ended up getting high on ecstasy. maybe next time try country music, i might have ended up learning how to ride a horse and just selling this stupid truck.
hey buddy how did you get all the slack out of the belt ive read that you shoud move the right sprocket a couple teeth counter clockwise is that what you did, cuz the video got interupted right when you had the wrench on the right sprocket. did you use the special tool that fits on the tensioner pulley along with a torque wrench to set the proper tension to 32 in lbs, help a brother out, cool music btw
Anyone know the size of the crankshaft bolt?? Needing to replace my timing belt and can't seem to find the size of it. Gonna replace the bolt as well but I need to buy the right size socket to fit it.
hi there man i have an issue right here i have a mitsu montero 2000 3.0l 2wd its the 6g72 engine so i want to change the water pump but i find 2 different pumps one that is counter clock wise and one that is clockwise so i was wondering what pupm will it fit my truck i have a mechanich that is going to do the service but i want to buy the pump online not in autozone or something like that
i tried changing my timing belt and i know for a fact i can do this but the second i tried removing the bolts behind the fan they immerdiately started stripping. how can i get this stripped bolt off?
+Jason Pez Hey! i dont have locking pliers but i got some channel locks that worked after squeezing the ever living crap out of them. im actually doin this to replace the cam seals but im doin the belt too while im in here. the shop quoted me 2100 for the seals, belt, pump, etc... so im doin it all myself. im not gonna lie, when that bolt stripped i was seriously thinkin about just savin up for the shop repair, i didnt think id be able to get them off with pliers. thanks alot man your a life saver!
I have 2000 Montero its a great runner but they have the WORST design when it comes to engine, in order to change $20 spark plugs you have to remove like half of the Engine, my alternator died twice due to leaking valve cover gasket , in order to change gasket you also have like entire day of work,,,, I just tightened the bolts that I was able to reach and since then I still have the same alternator its been over a year, VERY POOR ENGINE DESIGN. also it has Torsion bars instead of simply shocks and springs..
if you have the proper tools you can do it in less than an hour. I changed the head gaskets and both rings behind the heads in bout 40 mins. it's all bout tools. manually would've taken longer. I barrow a friend's compressor and gun that removes bolts in a second and did it fast. the rings I had to do it manually. those took 5 mins each. But I had the same issue as you. originally thought it was the head gaskets but it was the rings behind the heads that was the issue. I had already removed the manifold so I just changed the head gaskets.
+bryan2316 Yes proper tools helps, but do you realize that other cars take 5 min of work to replace spark plugs, you don't need to remove 30 bolts disconnect bunch of electric plastic connectors that break easily and then buying and placing new gaskets just because you had to remove them in order to get to spark plugs even if they didn't leak
yes it's very true. you have to remove the manifold to get to the sparkplugs. but my wives sparkplugs are worse. she has a Subaru and her sparkplugs are on the side on the bottom of the engine. with almost no space to reach with your hand alone. it's insane how they designed in such a way
Decent video, music isnt bad.. Love "The World Is Mine".. I think what would have helped this video a lot is some commentary.. Some simple text on the video to help figure out what exactly you're pointing at and why/what exactly you mean.
Great Vid. Some people are so critical and like to leave stupid comments about music...forget them. I'm down to removing balancer but it wont budge. Any suggestions? It looks like yours just pulled right off. I went to get a loaner tool(claw puller) but the one they gave doesn't fit in the bay. Is it just floating there and it just needs some spray and a couple hits to loosen? thanks
You could try to give it a few whacks with a rubber mallet, or you could do what I did and lift the radiator up and out of the way so you have more room. I used string to hoist it up and let it hang by the hood, you could remove it entirely but if you have an internal transmission cooler (which mine has) you might want to avoid getting air in the lines so you don't have to flush it later
I have 2000 Montero Sport. I'm replacing right bank front cam seal. Anyone done this and can give me some helpful tips. The video was great by the way!

You mean you never changed the timing belt during 320kmilea driving?
Did you say that your original engine that you bought new lasted 326 000 miles? seriously that is over half a million km. How did you do this, are you a taxi driver or some long distance delivery service?
Are you saying that the timing belt lasted 326 k miles????????
Thanks for posting, I did my 1997 Montero LS with the help of this video. Very minor differences in my engine and yours.
Which engine do you have? which engine was this?
Nice video. I wish you were talking and telling us what is what... Not everybody is a mechanic..... Very helpful though Thanks
If he needs to tell you then probably better if you don't mess around with a timing belt if you don't have experience. Or just go on a Mitsubishi forum they probably have more info. Though I rather have him talking then that annoying music.
Thank you Mitsubishi for placing the crank sensor in the most difficult f*#$ing place.
Lol. Love how people complained about music instead of just muting it. Thanks for the video. I copied what you said. keep it simple.
You fucking imbecile... he didn't say anything.

Hey, great video I had changed my belt but was having trouble with the timing you helped me fix it Thank You 😊
thanks for video very helpful.. but after replacing the belt on mine got a loud knocking noise on the right side very loud sounds like bad lifters or broken valve springs.. any ideas???
Idk what's better the music or the fact imma be able to fix my mitsu haha
ThX for taking the time to make this video... luv the music w. it. Question: why didn't you take the fan off before removing the belts?
The loud ticking noise means there is something up with the oil level... I use to have it...

@TheChev98 Oil leak into spark plug tubes causing plug wires to swell and pop out. pull up your cyl 1 wire and check for oil leaks down the hole
I get all the part of takin everything apart after i get first knotch to its point how do i get the top ones to match? Not really a fan of mechanics but would be nice to know how to do this. My timing belt and water pump were replaced about a month ago now i have to tear her down to replace harmonic balancer. Smh and that was paying a mechanic to do it.
Hello- 10 minutes into the video, you showed a tool that fits onto the crankshaft sprocket in order to rotate to TDC. Where did you buy that tool?
Please make this video available for viewing in Australia.
does the noise go away after warmed up? if not were the timing marks lined up correctly after you rotated the engine by hand 2 times? if the noise goes away then its valve lifters which are plugged up, if not then you may have engine damage to mis-installation of the timing belt
Thank you very much for making this! I am doing the same job on a 200 montero sport. I also replaced the cam and crank seals. It was a bitch getting the cam sprockets off! I read some info on a Montero Sport forum that showed pictures of water pump replacement, It said not to forget to put new o ring on water pipe before installing pump. But there is no water pipe on my sport 3.0L. The pump just bolts in, I don't see any water pipe, and no o ring with kit except for thermostat o ring.Whats up?
There is a o ring behind the water pump assembly I have pics

I just had my timing belt changed on my 02 montero sport 3.5 but they didnt replace my water pump. I told them not to because it only has 85k miles on it. But should it have been done?
How long does this job take with a couple of friends
how do you know if the auto tensioner is bad? when I put mine in a vice, it springs back out pretty quickly...
I have 97 Montero SR with 171K that needs timing belt service like the video. Additionally tune up valve cover gaskets, Spark plugs etc. However the most in depth is valve stem seals. What do you suggest.
Oh we could do without the cool EDM and have your narration for the repair.
Tony
T Clark valve seals are a long job. I have done them without removing the head but you need a good compressor and the right tool I used a similar tool like the Neiko 50646A along with the Lielse 36050. If your going to do this yourself become familiar with their operation
Jason Pez do you live in Northern Virginia around D.C.? If not can you recommend a technician? Although their pricey I feel stronger going to the dealer with at least a 12 month warranty? Timing Belt are very involved, you need the right tools and know how not someone making a quick buck. Additionally, I need valve cover gasket and tuneup. Have you heard of cam seals leaking in the rear of the head and in the front.
The Montero is a solid truck except for the valve seals.
Sure wish you were around for us to negotiate the repairs. I have access to a full garage with most of the tools???
Tony
Thanks for the video it has helped me a lot so far. Getting the harmonic balancer off was way easier your way.
If you get a chance add some great music like - Living with Video (Richard F Dub), The World Is Mine - Deep Dish Remix, Lollipop Machine (Original).
How did you loosen the crankshaft bolt? Did you brace the breaker bar and start the engine
Excelente video amigo , gracias
I have a 1997 Montero Sport XLS. Owners manual said change Timing Belt every 60K miles. Is it necessary to change it at that short of interval?
Where can I get that span wrench
22:44 still not sure how to push in timing tensioner. My cam seals are leaking, AGAIN. I dont want to take off crank pulley. May have to. Maybe ill get breaker bar at home depot then return it. Lol. I have one at work. I forgot.p.s had a hard time tightening crank bolt w/o proper pulley holder. I think i used extra large oil filter pliers
Very heplful video! Is there a timing belt inspection window somewhere? I need to check mine. What's the easiest way to inspect it, or how much needs to come apart?
There is a small inspection window on most. Its on the RH (pass) side cam belt cover. But to be honest its useless to inspect this way. Timing belts don't usually show wear unless they are way overdue and coming apart. The manufacture recommends changing the belt every 5yrs or 60,000mi.
buen video felicitaciones
Great video!
That was just an old CV axle nut 1-1/4 wrench size its just there to keep the washer from resting on the pin.
Hello- were you able to find a spacer? If so, what did you use?
Good video. What did you use as the crankshaft spacer to rotate it ( video@26:31)?
Good Job!. Anyone who cries about the music just tell him to kiss my arss
LoL Mute button helped me. ☺
What year the model?
First and for most, I'd like to thank you for putting up this vid.
I understand that you moved the crankshaft to TDC, but I did not see how you got the timing gears to be at the needed marks in your vid at the time of 11:50
I am going to replace all the gaskets, o-rings and seals, even the rear main seal, and of course the timing belt, she just got over 250k and going hard, she is leaking from two valve stem seals into two pistons and from the valve cover. Please advice.
how about a minor engine rebuild?
great job. i was thinking that are more parts to pull.
Thanks for detailed, is this the engine in 95 Montero SR/LS as well?
Saludos,muy interesante y didactico.muy bien.excelente.
Hello, were you able to find a spacer to use?
Found you can change timing belt without removing crank pulley.saves time. RIP OFF bottom cover. Theres room to get belt off. Can put back cover. :)
You need to see the alignment marks ....so youbhave ti take it off
Is there any way around releasing the antifreeze everywhere?
Marca do sensor do veio sentroco Monteiro
I will work on it, TH-cam blocked it because of the audio used I will see if I can change. sorry
thank you for video it helped a lot
I have a 3.0 engine and I bought a timing belt for it and can't seen to get it in. Is there a trick to this? The part number for the belt that I bought was a Duralast #95259. Someone shed some light on this please :( Thanks in advance.
Nice thanku!
was the water pump bad?and if yes, what was bad?
The water pump was not bad it was replaced for prevenative maintance the engine was at its 2nd timing belt and this was the original pump.
Ok so every 2nd belt change you recommend a new water pump right? How long before you have to change a timing belt every 100 000 km?? or 100 000 miles??
Beautiful music!!!!!!!!
replacing the the metal ring for the position sensor behind the timing gear sucks . the half moon key is a bitch once it falls out and lining the metal ring up and hoping it lands in the right spot is ruff..lol timed it twice just like this to find out the metal ring was wollered and wouldnt sit right.. but sweet video man now for fun set a two stage holley on a 85 k20 350 small block at high altittude cant seem to find that video... much love
i need help on timing the motor on my 01 sport can anyone help on where to see a video or read something about how to get everythimg to TDC mark?
Hey Jason, how did you set your tensioner pulley along with the hydraulic tensioner? Thnx in advance!
Self adjusting. The new timing belt tensioner will have a pin in it holding the tension. Once it's installed pull the pin and then it's tight.
Excellent video tutorial, no need for talking.
This was intended for folks who had a good understanding of automotive repair. Is there something specifically you did not understand?
Jason Pez I've changed countless water pumps on gm products but never tackled a job that involves the timing belt with it. A lot of this vid shows the back of his coat or his sleeve when you need to see what he's turning and where. I'll figure it out but it's always good to be able to see it first to shave time.
tideivlife1 the water pump that was replaced was just the impeller half you can purchase the entire assembly but this was more cost effective. Once you remove the timing belt the pump is pretty straight forward.
Jason Pez what brand water pump did you use and is that plumbers tape on the thermostat and water pump bolts. Thanks in advance.
A question....do you need to remove the valve covers to replace the timing belt???thanks in advance...
El Bibi no you do not need to remove the valve covers to replace the timing belt.
i tried changing my timing belt but ended up getting high on ecstasy. maybe next time try country music, i might have ended up learning how to ride a horse and just selling this stupid truck.
Oh God, this sounds like me...
One would truly believe, in the moment, that ecstasy was a car repair portal, but no....
this!
hey buddy how did you get all the slack out of the belt ive read that you shoud move the right sprocket a couple teeth counter clockwise is that what you did, cuz the video got interupted right when you had the wrench on the right sprocket. did you use the special tool that fits on the tensioner pulley along with a torque wrench to set the proper tension to 32 in lbs, help a brother out, cool music btw
where did you read this from? im curious
Anyone know the size of the crankshaft bolt?? Needing to replace my timing belt and can't seem to find the size of it. Gonna replace the bolt as well but I need to buy the right size socket to fit it.
22mm
Do I need to do all this for a water pump replacement?
Yep
very nice job keep up the good work.:)
hi there man i have an issue right here i have a mitsu montero 2000 3.0l 2wd its the 6g72 engine so i want to change the water pump but i find 2 different pumps one that is counter clock wise and one that is clockwise so i was wondering what pupm will it fit my truck i have a mechanich that is going to do the service but i want to buy the pump online not in autozone or something like that
Never heard of two different pumps rotating in different directions. Go with the Gates kit it includes the pump
What exactly are you stuck on? installing the belt on the sprockets or getting to the belt?
would be better without music
i tried changing my timing belt and i know for a fact i can do this but the second i tried removing the bolts behind the fan they immerdiately started stripping. how can i get this stripped bolt off?
Ctrl Alt DeFeaT you will need to use locking pliers to remove the nuts that hold the fan on. Then replace the damaged nuts.
+Jason Pez Hey! i dont have locking pliers but i got some channel locks that worked after squeezing the ever living crap out of them. im actually doin this to replace the cam seals but im doin the belt too while im in here. the shop quoted me 2100 for the seals, belt, pump, etc... so im doin it all myself. im not gonna lie, when that bolt stripped i was seriously thinkin about just savin up for the shop repair, i didnt think id be able to get them off with pliers. thanks alot man your a life saver!
I have 2000 Montero its a great runner but they have the WORST design when it comes to engine, in order to change $20 spark plugs you have to remove like half of the Engine, my alternator died twice due to leaking valve cover gasket , in order to change gasket you also have like entire day of work,,,,
I just tightened the bolts that I was able to reach and since then I still have the same alternator its been over a year, VERY POOR ENGINE DESIGN. also it has Torsion bars instead of simply shocks and springs..
if you have the proper tools you can do it in less than an hour. I changed the head gaskets and both rings behind the heads in bout 40 mins. it's all bout tools. manually would've taken longer. I barrow a friend's compressor and gun that removes bolts in a second and did it fast. the rings I had to do it manually. those took 5 mins each. But I had the same issue as you. originally thought it was the head gaskets but it was the rings behind the heads that was the issue. I had already removed the manifold so I just changed the head gaskets.
+bryan2316 Yes proper tools helps, but do you realize that other cars take 5 min of work to replace spark plugs, you don't need to remove 30 bolts disconnect bunch of electric plastic connectors that break easily and then buying and placing new gaskets just because you had to remove them in order to get to spark plugs even if they didn't leak
yes it's very true. you have to remove the manifold to get to the sparkplugs. but my wives sparkplugs are worse. she has a Subaru and her sparkplugs are on the side on the bottom of the engine. with almost no space to reach with your hand alone. it's insane how they designed in such a way
did the valve cover job fix the "oil leaking onto Alternator" problem? apparently bad cam seals cause the same problem
Yet, they won the Paris/Dakar for years...
good job.
How do I download this video
Decent video, music isnt bad.. Love "The World Is Mine"..
I think what would have helped this video a lot is some commentary.. Some simple text on the video to help figure out what exactly you're pointing at and why/what exactly you mean.
excelente
Great Vid. Some people are so critical and like to leave stupid comments about music...forget them. I'm down to removing balancer but it wont budge. Any suggestions? It looks like yours just pulled right off. I went to get a loaner tool(claw puller) but the one they gave doesn't fit in the bay. Is it just floating there and it just needs some spray and a couple hits to loosen? thanks
You could try to give it a few whacks with a rubber mallet, or you could do what I did and lift the radiator up and out of the way so you have more room. I used string to hoist it up and let it hang by the hood, you could remove it entirely but if you have an internal transmission cooler (which mine has) you might want to avoid getting air in the lines so you don't have to flush it later
I have 2000 Montero Sport. I'm replacing right bank front cam seal. Anyone done this and can give me some helpful tips. The video was great by the way!
belt tenioner adjustment you put a wrench on the cam bolt and then what ???? it skip.
