Just did all this in my ES330. 20yo crank pulley bolts from the factory are no joke.
as always good work
Could you make an engine have VVT using 2-3 electrical belt tensioners? (3 if you want to adjust both exhaust and intake timing) Basically removing slack from one side of each cam and adding it to the other side of each cam
Some of those magnetic mechanics gloves may save you from dropping so many bolts. I would think most right handed guys would get a lot of use from the glove on the left hand. It may save lots of time and energy searching and bending over for dropped fasteners over years of doing that work.
I remember in college, it was impossible to get the timing right… You was always off by about half a tooth. Maybe it's because the belts was stretched as we never used to refit new parts to the training cars.
I can't believe someone actually got paid to engineer that thing. Freaking sadists man, some messed up stuff.
Watching that gasket surface getting prepped was 110% spine-chilling/goosebump-inducing beauty.
Hey Ray when you first did that uh-huh bit it sounded just like Austin Powers man of mystery lol videos are awesome keep them up have a great day!
Brings back bad memories of changing timing belts in my youth. Now I pay someone else to do it. Hopefully as well as you do.
Angular pry bar or adjustable ladies slipper… You make the call… 😎
I like hdr portions and must be a pricey repair that’s a lot of labor nice quick work for you
Classic 3MZ 💪
Wow took you 58 minutes. My locale shop takes two days. LOL.
Too much oil on your hands, needs more break cleaner to improve friction coefficient lol
Looks like a Gates timing belt kit – have you been happy with those? Been reading a lot of folks claiming issues with the more recent kits from them (the ones sourced from China) – I have been using an Aisin kit on the two Honda 3.5's I have done the past year (wifes Odyssey, daughters Pilot) and really like that kit
THANK GOODNESS for the POWER TOOLS ??????
Crazy.
Gravity seems to be Ray's own worse enemy
that belt has more cracks than a crack den has meth addicts
Up next America’s Got Talent, Rainman Ray singing the oldies but goodies, or not. But keep wrenching, that’s your talent sir. Thanks for sharing.
You finally got to fix something.
I was working on my 94 cavalier in the driveway as a teen. I played a bolt from a cover and gravity took over. In the garage, all my dad (30+ yr aircraft mechanic) heard was an unmistakable ting, ting followed by the universal adjective. Without missing a beat, he asks where it landed
Unbelievable
thank ray great video I have the same car this job is tight..
Hard to believe anyone would go that far in without cleaning up the sealing surfaces, AND reinstall the old timing belt…
An insane amount of work just to replace a water pump. And why a timing belt? The engineer who designed this must have had something against mechanics.
I was getting a soda from my frig, your phone rang and I was "doo-de-doo-de-doo-ing" in the kitchen.
Should of changed the cam seals? 🦭 🦭 🦭 🦭 🦭
Probably at least 150 engineers worked to design this car and I don't think any of them talked to each other. Just sayin…
This is one of my favorite videos! So many fiddly bits, engineering, brackets and studs. You also did a nice job of balancing detail with skips ahead for repetitive tasks. Great commentary on the previous mechanic too- critical without backing the bus over them, even after they mangling the bracket. Two questions: what was the total parts cost, and two, do you ever work on EVs? Your garage may not see them yet. Great channel.
WHACHU KNOW bout KC and the SUNSHINE BAND?
Noooo we need the instant gratification, (waiting for the part 2, head in hands )😄
Please don’t sing! You are a good mechanic.
Wow, that was easy — not. I'm from the points and distributor era. I seem to remember a water pump sitting on the front of the engine, basically out in the open.
HA haha 😄
All that work to get the water pump off?? Horrible engineering…..
Maybe the belt was not cracked when the other repair was performed ?
If you are DIY or you don’t do timing jobs on Toyotas very often… people should know that they should really get a cam tool for any V6 Toyota engine timing job. There is a tendency when you apply tension to the timing belt that that back side cam will jump a tooth and if you’re not watching for that, then you will be doing this job all over again. So get the cam tool and do it right the first time.
I see that Ray used some clips to hold the belt…. However I would have done starting with the first pulley so it would hold while lining up the belt for the second pulley, etc. vs. the way Ray did it … but to each their own.
Cant afford to do it right, but can always afford to do it twice.
Paul here. Love the ahum hum’s sounds like a doctor making a questionable move
The shit you have to go through to get a water pump off these days.
Green brush hurts ears new Audio hurts
I did this same job on my 2002 Lexus. The bolts on the cam shaft were unbelievably tight. Also. the two bolts on the tentioner can be striped by over tightening. I'm not the only one who did this.
I literally started on one of these Friday before I left work
Mucho grande bueno Senor
