@@Zacchaeus58 yeah, if I was doing it in the future and I had some help. That is definitely a way to go. Thanks for watching!

@@billm6294 I’m glad the video helped you, I’m also glad that your Saturn is cruising along nicely. They definitely put thick paint on those camlock, it would be my one complaint as well. I think it makes it harder to get everything to line up. Thanks for watching!

@@dustincercado those are MOOG sway bar links. Part number K750382, they carry a lifetime warranty through rock auto. Currently, they’re $19.41 each. Thanks for watching.

@@copenhagenblue8417 thank you and thanks for sharing the video.

@@joerichardcycles69 thank you! I appreciate not only watching, but the compliment.

@@k3ma.l you’re very welcome. Hope it turns out great! 👍🏼

Make sure you sand all the rubbery material they put on from the factory first. Then I found that a rust-oleum spray paint designed for use with plastic, worked really well. It has been over a years since I did this and it is holding up well even with constant UV exposure. Thanks for watching!

@@copenhagenblue8417 Thank you

Yeah drivers side comes off the same way. Once you remove the center piece, both side ones are held in with a screw and then should pop out.

On the rear cylinders closest to the firewall you have cams one and then two towards the valley of the engine. Then you have three and four with three being closer to the valley in the engine. I don’t have pictures anymore of the cam gears, but I do have pictures of the cams and their relation with the dowel pins. Let me know if you need them.

That would be awesome. I appreciate that. I guess I should have paid more attention when I tore then engine down. A broken timing belt caused a valve to break and get stuck in a piston.

@@tylerhamilton181 no problem, I just need to figure a way to send you the pictures. I don’t want you to necessarily post your email address on UA-cam.

Thanks for the compliment. I actually have learned most of the things I have on this car by just tackling it head on. But in your case I would just replace the post catalytic O2 sensor for bank one. But since the car is a 4 cylinder you should only have two O2 sensors. I wouldn't waste the money if you don't have to. Now, that being said, there is always the possibility that the other one could fail, but since it is for the heating aspect, I think you should be fine. Thanks again for watching and let me know if I can be of any further help.

¡Gracias! Espero que te haya ayudado

I'm kind of confused, what key?

It's where I was born! Toledo always holds a soft spot for me :-)

You’re very welcome, glad that I could help you out. Good luck working on yours and I hope it turns out great 👍🏼

Nope it is just the gasket on a clean surface. No leaks to this day and I am getting ready to drain and fill it again. Thanks for watching!

Glad I could help you out! Thanks for watching

Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

13.5 should still be well within specs for providing a good charge. It might be that it's giving issues when under a heavy load? Hope you were able to get it figured out!

Well I am appreciate your positive feedback! I worried that I might have done this the hardest way possible, but I think it is better than removing the upper radiator hose. Maybe a little more work, but less mess and no coolant system to bleed. Thank you for watching and keep that Caravan going!

I honestly always forget that trick and I'm not sure if I had nuts that fit. But that is a great trick for removing a stud! Thanks for watching!

I can see why they would do it, but I personally don't want extra work to do. LOL Thanks for watching!

@@copenhagenblue8417 thank you for your quick feedback, let me ask another question: do you think a pry bar could replace the strut Spreader tool?

@@andreacaldarone4909 honestly with the inconsistencies in the ability to apply leverage, I wouldn’t use a prybar. You could probably make it work, but I think it’ll be more of a fight.

@@copenhagenblue8417 I've asked since the tool you used isn't available in Amazon Italy

Glad I could help! Don’t know that I’d throw those out, there’s torque specs in there. Lol. Thanks for watching!

Well, I’m glad that my video helped you out. Really glad that your timing belt didn’t break, I’ve done cylinder heads on mine and it’s not exactly a fun job. Really glad you have your L300 still on the road! Thank you for taking time to watch.

It’s a 3.7 gas motor.

Sorry I never saw your question. I am a little confused on what you're asking. Can you clarify? Thanks for watching

You do not have to remove the tensioner to replace the water pump. I honestly don't remember how many bolts there are sorry, but I believe it is around 8.

I honestly have no clue. I think the clip either wasn't secured or the cable wasn't fully seated. Either way since I put if back in, I have not had the issue again. Knock on wood! LOL Thanks for watching!

No, I did not replace the thermostat. If it was something I had to remove to do the job I would have. Thermostat has never given me any issues, knock on wood. Lol.

Yeah, I thought about doing that. But the old stuff came off so poorly. When I originally did it, I was worried about adhesion. This has worked well and hopefully never gets all gummy like the original cover. Thanks for the comment and for watching.

I do like the way that you did it, It definitely takes longer to flush out all the fluid with repeated drain and fills 3 1/2 quarts each time. But hey, thanks for the extremely positive feedback. 👍🏼

The other side is a little bit harder. You still use the same idea, but have to press the control arm down further, it takes more effort to get it out. But it is the same basic concept.

@@copenhagenblue8417 okay. What is a control arm in german? Antriebswelle?

@@blackjack9863 my lack of speaking, German does not help me. lol But Google says that it’s Steuerarm. :-)

I have seen a few people use zip ties to hold the cams in position once they are aligned. This at least ensures that the cams wont accidently turn and hit the pistons. If I couldn't find a kit, that is the method I would use. I wonder if you could find someone who could 3D print it.

On my kit the paint was THICK on the cam locks. I took off all the paint with a wire wheel and they went in much easier.

I know several people have asked a similar question but for me it's specifically the filter I'm wondering about. I don't know if it's better to keep the old filter with your change and allow the stuff in the old filter to mix with your new fluid + some of the old fluid still in the transmission or if it would be better to go a little cleaner and get a new filter and allow the remaining old fluid in the system solely do the 'mixing' part.

I guess it really depends on what you believe will happen. Some people think that it will ruin the transmission because all the little particulates from the clutch material is what’s giving your transmission “grip” the clutch packs. The other thought process is that if putting in new fluid causes your transmission to fail, it was really already on its way out. I have found that changing out the fluid completely including a filter has worked better for me than changing it without replacing the filter. There’s a video I have on here of a Volkswagen beetle that had some shifting issues when I bought it, I replaced both the filter and the fluid and it has done extremely well. I seem to only make smaller gains on the transit by doing the fluid and no filter. I also would think that the mileage at which you decide to make the decision matters. If the car had close to 200,000 miles on an original transmission, I’d probably change the fluid but not the filter. If you’re catching it a little bit after 100,000 miles I would do both.

Okay. Thank you for your input!

You’ve been trying to find one? Or you’ve been trying to get one out?

Thank you very much for the comment. It is hard to sometimes keep making videos, but when I know that it helps someone, it makes all the difference. So, knowing that it helps makes it all worth it. Thank you for watching!

@@copenhagenblue8417 ya I see it's hard to film everything n still explaining. But it's very much appreciated. This beetle is my final stage enemy. I did already a lot, but it seems it has its own life. Every day comes something new 🤣😜
