    The video of the removal process is edited very well. You get the sense of how many fasteners need to be removed without having to sit through the entire process.

    1uz engine has to be one of the easiest engines to work on a timing belt. Lexus/toyota been doing it for a long time now and still going strong. Glad this owner is trying to keep this relic alive.
  • @Clamlifenc
    That’s a lot of work, I appreciate your time to show us how it work, thanks
  • @JonnyDIY
    Great job Eman! 👍 that lil AirCat seemed to really speed up the job and thanks for sharing the tip about lining the stuff up in order of removal. Problem with me is I've never had a garage 😆 just a driveway and I put all the parts back in car or box. I usually take pictures though. And now make videos so can always look back through footage if stumped
  • @youtubeuser1110
    Dude thank you so much this video is so detailed great work
  • @williammouri1096
    I think that belt was counterfeit. That would have been a disaster for someone with less experience. Great video as always!! Excellent.
  • @stevec5657
    That's really strange the painted timing marks don't line up. I looked up the part (Mitsubishi CD190) and it appears to be the right belt. Very cool video series btw 👍
  • @kxmikalbot9639
    1995 currently in the process .. you said to do the timing i have rotate until the marks meet again? its a fun one.. taking apart all its components .. mine is extremely dirty. bought it off for 900 and all it needed was this exact job. and the radiator. everything else is good . but also doing the oils. yeah.. its a fun job (no sarcasm) thankful for what you do man.
  • @johngracia8914
    I'll be honest with you. That looked like a pain in the * with that giant LS V8, but you showed her some love.
  • @ZayedGR
    Did u changed front main seal
  • @MyWolffy
    Yea I’m pretty sure the marks didn’t line up only because the belt was backwards lol but you’re right it doesn’t matter at all lol. But I think they referenced them where you’re looking at it not as sitting in it so left cam would have been passenger side. Just for ease of install on inexperienced techs lol if ya got the marks lined up then it don’t matter
  • @themechanic6117
    This just happened to me doing a timing belt on a toyota v6 , the belt marks didn't line up because the belt was installed backwards . I know it's not necessary but I just removed it and flipped the belt around and all is well again lol
  • @Sanghax3
    Hey, do you recommend changing the crankshaft seal while everything is apart? I know the camshaft seals you should leave alone. But it seems like the crankshaft is right there so it would be easy to replace it. Thanks
  • @rmedal4594
    Your right, the belt marks would line up if you had put it on with the arrows facing toward the engine. But yes, it doesnt matter.
