Setting timing marks
Cool vid on how to set the timing before removing the timing belt. You guys may point out how I have the arrows on the camshaft sprocket facing down instead of up...........the arrows can be facing up or down, does not matter. Thanks for watching!!!!!!

  • My hubby is doing a water pump replacement on my '01 PT Cruiser. (Lack of money is a real motivator to learn how to DIY.) The thing ended up running out of time when he tested it before he put the motor mounts and stuff back on. He says, "After this, I should be able to do almost anything. Let's get a "vintage" Model A Roadster for our last car and just have fun." I heard him laughing and caught him watching your video. "This cat's cool," he says. So, according to him, it's back to finding TDC and aligning the cam sprockets. "Keep the faith, baby" is what he says. Thanks for making him laugh at a situation that had him coming up with new curse words I've never heard before. Peace.

  • Thank you for explaining it the way you did I am a suspension mechanic and have never had to work with the timing or the actual motor before and I've been stranded for 11 and 1/2 days now trying to figure out how to do the timing so thank you again for explaining it how you did the sockets and everything else was amazing and you just saved me a lot of money and a lot of time so much love from Kansas City Missouri

    • I just have one question though when you take the old belt off of the actual pulley mine does not turn I'm not sure why but it does not turn and I don't know how to get it lined up the guy that came out here and looked at it told me I had to take both of my valve covers off and loosen up the rockers and that that was the only way to do it but then he busted three of my coil packs and I had to go get new coil packs but I'm still having difficulty with the water pump pulley and getting it to turn so that I'm at top dead center

  • Just something I found out because tdc the arrows will be facing down if facing up the the timming is way off if you do from the bottom instead or down arrows on cam shaft cranks will be facing up but thanks to you I was able to get mine back running ps. To rest dont mark with a sharpie Mark's wiped off on me so great video keep up great work bro with up arrows will turn over and not start

    • Neither one of you are getting it.......he is at TDC on the exhaust stroke, not the compression stroke, when the marks on the cam gear are up that is true TDC on the compression stroke. You can still align the marks down because it's in the same cycle......if he would have turned the crank over 360 the marks would still align with the other marks up......the only time being 180 out matters is when you have a distributor

  • For one the 2.4 is a non interference engine meaning the valves won't hit the Pistons I've done a few just did a head gasket replacement in less than 4hr and a lady pulled out in front of me total the car so I picked up another one for 500 the young meth head had attempted to replace the t.belt went as far as removing the intake amongst prying the head light out so when I started on it I found the crank pulley bolt Brook off in the crank the crank pulley was destroyed along with t belt sprocket. It took me 4hr to get the bolt out he let it rain on the engine and it was frozen up I dumped transmission fluid in and let it set over night I got freed up put on a new belt valve cover gasket and plugs put the intake manifolds back on it and got it running but wasn't charging so off with the intake and replaced the fussable link that's why it came with 2 batteries replaced missing and bent bolts timing belt covers missing and broken inner finder cover missing repaired head light opening removed greáse from interior now it fires right up oh and someone stole the converter had it replaced but they cut the wie plugins lol even though I've checked the timing marks over and over it wiil only rev to2200 rpm yes the key way is in the crank timing marks are dead on and arrows up but getting a miss alignment codé the cam lowbs where up when I did the valve cover gasket this is a nice looking car with a hundred and twenty thousand miles I'm tired tomorrow I'll pull the cam sprocket bolts and check the key ways and there seems to be some kind of odd movement in the t. belt tensioner there is a tension spring and lug to set which no one seems to mention if these items fail me I'll be checking the cam position sensor and crank position sensor aka pick up coil for you old schoolers. I accept prayers and advice lol ps please dear women don't let your methed up hubby work on your cars

Hubby's uncle still has the 1968 Bonneville two door with rag top that he bought new! On it's second full engine rebuild and who knows how many tops. That old so and so. Hubby has the vinyl disc of "One Nation Under A Groove" that he bought on a dare way back. He loves Parliament. He has some seriously weird shit in his record collection.

  • I feel bad for this mechanic because more than likely the person that fucks up will find someway to blame him because of there lack of experience or understanding. See I work in the ghetto where everyone tries to push responsibility on someone else because of there screw ups so it's hard to fix cars for a certain type of people in a certain age group. So they'll blow there timing belt and bend the valves and someone from the ghetto where they did a timing chain in 1970 will say,"have mechanic put new timing belt on"! And Rasfucia will call a local mechanic and say,"how much fo a timsiyn belt"? And we will ask,"whats the year,make,and model"? And she will say,"why yalls axin so many dam questions cuz yall it shouldnt matter". So she will bring it to you bent valves and all and expect you to put a new dam timing belt and when its fucked up cuz damage she did before she really go off on you like its your fault. THE MECHANIC IN THE VIDEO KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT IM SURE!!!99% OF YOU WATCHING THIS VIDEO PROBABLY SHOULDN'T ATTEMPT THIS JOB UNLESS YOU HAVE DONE AT LEAST 5 OTHER CARS BEFORE THIS 2.4 BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A NOVICE REPAIR BUT THAN AGAIN IF YOU'RE AT 130,000 ON ORIGINAL AND IT HASN'T SNAPPED BUT YOU DONT HAVE $800 OR MORE THAN GO AHEAD BECAUSE YA DONT HAVE MUCH TO LOSE ANYWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BE SURE THAT THE MOTOR IS AT TDC BEFORE YOU SLACK THE BELT BECAUSE IF YOU DONT THAN YOULL BE TAKING A CHANCE AT BENDING VALVES WHEN YOU TURN THE CRANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO A T BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS!!!!!!!!!!!PREPARE THE MOTOR FIRST OR BE SORRY WHEN YOU TIME 180 DEGREES OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AND YES IT WILL START 180 DEGREES OFF BUT IT WILL RUN HOT AND FUCKED UP!!!!TRUST ME A MECHANIC AT WORK DID TIME IT 180 DEGREES OFF AND IT STARTED BUT RAN REAL HOT AND WARPED HEAD!!!!!!YOU'RE PROBABLY ASKING WHY IT WOULD MAKE IT RUN HOT RIGHT??????BECAUSE THE INTAKE WILL BE TIMED TO THE EXHAUST AND SO ON AND SO ON.
