Hi Peter, Thank you for doing an excellent job of referencing the steps for timing belt replacement and your video work is good as well, thumbs up to you! Just a note, I purchased my 1997 Toyota 4 cyl. 2.2 liter engine Camry, a returned lease car from a Toyota dealer back in 1999 with 40,000 original miles having put over 317,000 miles on it myself with now over 357,000 original miles to date without ever going inside to do cylinder, bearing, valve or any head work and it still runs like a clock! I keep the oils and all vital fluids changed/flushed, the brakes up to snuff, tires rotated, battery replaced, two alternator replacements and two CV joint replacements, 2 ea. ignition coil replacments, these models are meant for long service, best vehicle purchase I ever made!
Cheers to another 500k plus miles.
370K miles on my 1997 4 cyl Camry and the powertrain is still running like new.
Here in the UK, the recommended change interval was 100k miles if you live near the coast or somewhere with extremes of temperature. Had one of these for 10 years, bought it for 1k and sold it for 1k. Just had oil and filters in that time and nothing else. Superb car!
These cars are solid. Cheers
I like that you put the catalogue of all the work performed on the same Camry in the description.
There could have been a few i left out but for the most part, it should all be there. Cheers
when the mark on crank lines up with 0 mark .. it doesnt mean top dead center. you can verify it by taking out the number 1 spark plug and visually see the piston at the top .. sometimes you need to make 1 more turn of the crank shaft to go around again to 0 and achieve TDC . .. always spin the motor clock ways . I just did this job on my Camry .. not too bad
I'm just now needing this video to change my belt in my 2001 Camry, great video and very informative. Thank You for showing the part number that was very helpful.
Thanks for taking your time to explain the process along with a great video. Recently bought a 1997 Camry for my son and the water pump starting leaking. Bought a timing belt kit and will be a good learning experience for my son to do this project.
Wow you make older adults look bad Soy if you have your son doing this job. Thats what up
Nice job Peter! There are timing marks on the bottom crank gear, so you can set it up without the harmonic balancer and cover. Great video.
Yup, I did the notches on the timing gear and case without needing the cover and crank pulley on. Way easier.

For 200k, That engine is super clean.
Thank you. I wish i did a video of before when i first got this car vs. Now. It was trash when i got it. Cheers.
@@PeterZafra Funny enough I'm in the same position mate. Bought the car and Ive never seen something so dirty before. Was a pain in the ass but slowing cleaning and fixing everything. Just done my valve covers and now I'm worrying about the timing belt. 🤣
@@JacksonAndLouane Yup same here. I paid 1800. 135k miles. One thing at a time with me..First Job is changing the valve cover gasket.
@ Peter Zafra, 2001 solara, 178,000 timing belt broke, Toyota charged $1200 to replace the belt and the water pump. 110,000 miles later, because of your video, I now know it’s time to replace my timing belt. This time I’m doing the maintenance myself. I have already replaced my exhaust from the manifold to the muffler, spark plugs and wires, replaced both front calipers, brake pads and brake shoes, rear drums, and rear all in one shocks struts springs. I’m also going to replace valve cover seal, and clean the engine after I watch your video on how to do that. Thanks for the great videos, I’m definitely going to subscribe to this channel.
Awesome. Glad i helped. Cheers!!!!!
Why didn't you show taking off all the stuff from start to finish , that's what people what to see who have never did this before but have some mechanical skills
Sorry.
Hey Lilyan page if you really need to see it all this may help ua-cam.com/video/2kQLMP9AYGs/v-deo.html
Yes, for sure Lilyan page, that's what I thought.
Probably because he doesn't have 4 arms
Great educational video. You must love your car since the engine bay looks amazingly clean considering the age of this car.
Thank you. I just like to take great care of my things. Cheers
@@PeterZafra it is a good car worth upkeeping. Those engines from those years are the epitome of reliability. They are easy to work having easy access to the starter and timing belt if needed to be replaced.
Because the timing belt spins the water pump,it is recommended that the pump be replaced with the timing belt. Previous owner on my car replaced the timing belt only. After I purchased it the pump bearing failed and broke the timing belt again. My car has 220K miles,I'm anxious to see how far we can go now. It's a 5 speed, I really enjoy driving it !! 😁
Nice. Yes. Mechanics will always push for water pump replacement. These are great cars. Cheers
This motor 5sfe and the 22r motors are the most reliable engines ever made by Toyota.
True that bro. Yes. I totally agree
mine leaks like a siv
Oil seals do go bad. Try some at-205. Stopped mine from leaking. Restored the rubber rear main. But mine wasnt severely leaking...have to maintain any vehicle for it to function properly
@@wildchild1161 . There's a mystery leak on the right hand side of the valve cover, is hidden by the bracket that holds the ignition coil, get a flashlight and if you see a paddle of oil on top of the transmission, just go under the car and look for the ignition coils,if they're wet that means that is coming from there, I'm on my second 1998 Camry 4cyl. And this is how I fix, remove the fat air intake hose, and a few vacuum hoses just keep track of everything you remove you might also have to partially remove the throttle body, so you can have access to the bracket bolt on the right side, once you remove the ignition coil bracket you'll see like a round seal and if is all oily that is one of your problems, anyways get some brake cleaner and clean it dry also scrape off any old gasket material with a blade carefully, get some permatex ultra black gasket maker is very cheap at Walmart carefully apply the sealant around the leaky seal, apply enough of it but don't overdo it, wait a half hour to let it dry, put everything back together, give it at least 20 hours so it cures before you drive the car again, I've this procedure twice and it has worked to perfection, now if you have the V6 engine I'm not familiar with that one, but if you have a 4 cylinder like mine that's one leak you can fix yourself, another big leak is the seal and the spider web gasket inside the oil pump housing, but is better to wait until you do a timing belt replacement job, there's videos on UA-cam on how to replace them the cam and crankshaft are also fairly easy, for the rear main seal, just get some at-205 reseal,it works pretty well, is better than separating the transmission from the engine to get to it, the rear main seal is kind of big so at 205 reseal will easily renew it again making it more pliable and flexible stopping the leak, I used it on my 98 Camry and it did stop the leak it was pretty small but I hate oil leaks I'm just glad that on this 4th generation Toyota Camry 4cyl. 5sfe engine, I practically know most of the common issues and how to fix them, is very easy and cheap to maintain and the best thing is that is very reliable very few problems .
600$ just to replace the water pump and the timing belt
Thanks for the video. I'm not sure when or if my timing belt was changed. My 97 has a new odometer that replaced a broken one. Shows 54,000 miles, but given the age of the car who knows the real mileage. Glad its a non-interference motor. If it does break, I will try to replace it myself...
Hey queston!!??? I just finished Replacement of waterpump,thermostat, n oils seals n timing belt!!! Get this all done n we test drive!! Runs great !! Not bad gouges, not overheating everything looks n runs better then it did before!!! Get bk to her house ,! Shut off car!! Then the radiator blows a Crack in upper plastic casing!!! Why????
These things happen. You may have also had an air bubble in the system that created pressure and resulted in a crack. Especially if the radiator is old. They usually last 7 to 10 years. Anything longer is a bonus.
Great job! FYI, however if the engine overheated because of the thermostat, that could cause the cam to drag and strain the timing belt. That could have damaged your timing belt and caused premature failure. That’s because The heat causes the head to distort and push the cam journals out of alignment until the engine cools.
Thanks for the feed back. Cheers
I've done this myself. There are marks on the sprocket the timing belt goes on for crankshaft to get timing correct. IF, you're doing this to your car, I'd recommend changing the cam, crank, oil seals. You'll want to change the gasket for the oil pump assembly too, it's like an o ring type material, shaped weird. These parts are fairly cheap at the toyota dealership and they do leak eventually. Mine did finally at 232,000 miles. I'd recommend them 2 idler pulleys too be changed. It's simple and saves you from doing this again. The belt he took off looked TERRIBLE, cracks everywhere. The belt at Toyota is under $50 and they hold up GREAT. You'll get out of this car what you put into it. I'm gonna add this, get a repair manual at an auto parts store, or online. It's a great source for help. I love them, especially for torque specifications.
Thank you. Cheers
Changed out my original equipment the other day at 185000 didn't want to keep pressing it
Watching from the Philippines..👍👍✌️
Cheers kababayan
A Toyota sponsorship would be so cool ! Thanks
Wow, that is a clean Camry. I would keep that forever. Mine is very rusty from NE Ohio but running great @ 293,000 miles.
I have the same car engine and my water pump went out I think but it have over 233 k on it and it runs great and it's fast I just brought the car two months ago I love her toyota has the best engine reliable
Get it fixed and that engine will last forever. Cheers
Thanks for this excellent video, I don't plan to do the belt change myself, but its good to know what is going to be done.
Cheers.
I had this belt snap on me at a red light years ago, in my '97 camry.. I had to have someone rear end push the car past the green light. Then a cop thought I was running a red light. When I told him that my car was inoperable and I needed to get the car off the road, he left me alone. I had to get that car towed.
I got another camry, and made sure this and the water pump were the first things replaced in this one. The drive/serpentine belt and transmission fluid are next. I was told my transmission fluid is orange.
These cars are solid cheers
Shepherds chapel
Dude u really hv a very clean motor n undercarriage
Haha
Yeah man. My ocd won't allow me. Until today it still looks like that.
I suggest when you replace your timing belt to use a larger diameter timing belt idler bearing.
Stock is a 13503-63011
Off the top of my head is
10mm bolt hole size
Width 29mm
Diameter 57mm
There are bearings available in Europe that are 60mm in diameter
3mm larger that will allow the belt tensioner to have some available travel to adjust the belt so it's not loose.
Manufacturing issues from Toyota for replacement belts and Mitsuboshi belts also.
OEM belt 13568-09041
Crank seal 90080-31022
Cam seal 90089-31023
Oil pump o-ring 15188-63010
Oil pump shaft seal 15165-70010
Replace all of those every time.
Only use Aisin water pumps
Mitsuboshi timing belt or OEM
Drive belts are
5pk1110 Alt/AC
3pk760 or 750 for Power Steering
Replace the power steering pump O-ring when apart
The feed elbow will leak or better yet get reseal kit for the pump. Easy to reseal. Main housing gasket only fits one way ( correctly ) or they leak.
This engine 3SFE or 5SFE are non-interfance engines. If belt breaks or is apart valves will NOT hit the pistons.
Thanks for the input. Cheers
@@PeterZafra even with all new parts the timing belt tensioner will max out. I worked for Toyota for 32+ years.
I just fixed a " helicopter " yesterday for a retired gal with almost no money.
Fixed her leaking oil seals, water pump, timing belt and tensioner and idler plus the radiator transmission lines that leaked since the installer didn't tighten the radiator fittings enough. Had a trans leak. Trans was low. Also flushed the power steering too. Cleaned all the Rat dropping pressure washing the engine compartment for the sum of 450.00.
She's making payments.
@@PeterZafra if you have noise in rear suspension over bumps the rear sway bar mount bushings were a common failure.
I have replaced alternators, radiators, valve cover gaskets, and rear brake cylinders. I've even installed transmission coolers and in-liine transmission filters but, the timing belt replacement is not a DIY job for me.
It's actually not that hard. Just make sure you mark the belts so you can replace in the same spot. Mark old belts while still on the gears with some white out or paint. Then once removed, mark the new belt exactly like the old belt while next to each other so you will know its exactly the same teeth. Other than that, other ones just bolt on. Cheers
im going to do this this weekend thanks for your video
Cheers
great video quality !
Cheers
Thanks for the video; it would help to see the routing of the belt, if it isn't obvious. thanks
Thank you for the view. Next time will show routing. Cheers
@@PeterZafra thanks. It was very helpful.
That motor clean Bro.
Thank you. I try my best to keep the heart clean.
I’m gonna clean mines too.
What happened to the grounding cable that went from the alternator to somewhere near the windshield squirter tank?
That was an added wire I installed years ago. It actually goes down to the radiator support that connect to another wire to the battery
This would have been a great video if he would have shown how he removed crank pulley and show how he set the timing belt tension without it getting out of timing. 🤔
I agree. Except some people would have caused injuries to themselves by doing what I did since I did the good ole breaker bar and starter technique. Lol.
You don't need to put the timing cover back on to set it to TDC. There's a mark on the block...a little notch and also a notch on the crankshaft sprocket
Yes. Found that out afterwards. Thank you for the input. Cheers.
If you don’t use the mark to set it on,”zero” you can remove the number one spark plug and bring the piston all the way up, it would be TDC,also. Right ?
I am not sure about that. Just use the markers. It's the best bet. Also, if you want to set to tdc, you can mark the inside when it's tdc on the cover so you wouldn't need to set to tdc with the cover on again.
You would need to use a tdc peg to find exact tdc. Assuming these engines have one. You remove a bolt, insert the peg and turn crank by hand until it comes in contact and is stopped by peg.
Great video I’m in the process of getting my timing belt replaced when it get replaced will it break again ?
The belts if done right are good for 100k miles. I would say change at 90k and use only toyota oem parts
Hello Peter, is there any washer with the under drive pulley?
I am afraid to drive my car because this happens to me all the time.
Sometime two weeks intervals and not anywhere new 100k miles.
I have yet to attempt fixing myself, but, I am considering a complete kit.
I don't quite remember, but it's not a hard job if you are a little mechanically inclined. I would suggest changing the kit not just the belt.
I have all the bolts out and its catching on a sprocket and the power steering hose that goes inbetween the bulkhead and the engine is also in the way
Thanks bro... You re helping me
Cheers
That belt was old and dry buddy great video
Man that's what i said. But....it was only 51k miles if that and only 4 years old. Crazy aftermarket stuff. Thanks for the sub and the view. Cheers
Same thing happened to me. My belt snapped while going to work. Didn’t know what is was till I checked everything and I checked my timing belt and it was snapped
Just glad it's a non interference engine. Cheers
Where else can I find the chassis number if the one on the windshield is not there and the one at the driver door is not visible
There should be one on the transmission
@@PeterZafra please where exactly are the transmission?
Should the Camry timing belt be changed at 60K mile intervals, or just when it breaks?
I hear 90k but you change at 60 if you like. I do suggest to use only OEM Toyota belts and parts though.
Which is aisin correct? @@PeterZafra
Wow. I’m gonna try it for sure
It's not bad at all. Cheers
عمل جيد ومفيد جداً
Well done .
Cheers
Just asking cuz my Kia Sportage has an non interference engine also and my belt broke going 80 and it’s all messed up the can’t get compression over 70 and then I went out and bought a 2001 Toyota Camry already did the timing belt so thank u for your video
I'm glad you ended up with a camry. The most dependable engine in my opinion. Be ready for a very long journey with your car. Cheers
Depending on the year of your sportage, a 2001 kia sportage i believe is an INTERFERENCE engine. I'm not 100% sure but pretty sure it is.
Question i just got a 1997 camry le 2.2 and i would like to know how many quarts of engine oil and the correct coolant fluid and how many gallons of quarts thanks
did you make a diy on how to remove the thermostat for the Toyota 2.0l motor?
Thanks helps alot
Glad it helped. Cheers
If the marks don't line up after turning the engine 2 revolutions, will it hurt anything to move the pulleys independently? I took off the belt before lining up the marks.
No it won't. That's the beauty of a non interference engine. You can remove a spark plug to make turning the crank easier. Cheers
I just bought an 01 2.2l w/ 225k for $1k and I was paranoid about the timing belt since I thought these were an interference motor...thankfully they got it done @ 175K. Why are there soo many 2.2l w/ blown engines online then?
Only issue with the car I need to sort is it's not reaching full temp while driving (I assume a broken open thermostat) and the car has a misfire at idle (not sure why yet) but drives butter smooth otherwise. Hopefully it's an easy fix.
People just neglect oil changes and the biggest is the fact that these motors burn oil and people forget to check levels. Missing at idle can be bad plugs or a bad upstream 02 sensor.
@@PeterZafra I only got misfire codes (I forgot to screenshot them but it was one cylinder and one generic like P1300), but it feels fine once driving.
i have a 2001 camry 4 cylinder--i get a bit mixed up on the final turning of the crank from tdc and go one or two wrench turning to make the harmonic balancer mark line up 45 degrees before tdc then tighten the roller that the belt rolls over. Does the timig mark on the case of the plastic part at 45 before tdc..or did you just as you showed 4 turns to TDC then tighten up the bottom crank nut to 37ft.lbs or what ever it is. i hope that all made sense. there is a up and down mark on the lower plastic cover where the notch in the flywheel below lines up at 45 btdc on the front of the plastic case bottom half.
K B keep in mind, you need to turn 4 full times to get a full rotation. Then check tdc
You want the top crank and harmonic balancer at tdc before installing belt and tightening. Then rotate 4 full times and check to make sure it's still at tdc top and bottom.
Peter Zafra so as long as the top markers for the cam after 4 turns and looks good.then I can tighten the bottom bolt. so when tightening it at bottom how do you keep the the balancer from rotating as you torque it.?
How do you know which is the compression stroke vs the exhaust TDC on the crankshaft or it doesn't matter once the belt has snapped? V6 engines have numbers usually like the Hondas, if you're on the wrong TDC, the number shown will be wrong, etc.
It will align at TDC on the cover when you spin the crank. It's 4 full turns and it's at TDC. I took off one spark plug to make it easier to turn. That is why I put the cover to see TDC but it is also marked on the crank.
@@PeterZafra Cam and Crank should align every two full turns on the crankshaft, hence the 2 stroke engine. I was just curious as the alignments are a different story when the belt is still on since two full turns on the crank is 1 full turn on the cam.
do you have to take out water pump to change timing belt?
No. But....it wouldn't be a bad idea to change it since your already there. I didn't change my water pump this time around.
Liberty you do not need to remove the water pump.
What year is your car? Mine is a 99 5sfe and has totally different timing marks for the cam (you need to look thru a hole in the cam gear to see tdc. Also, do you remember what brand the old t-belt was?
mine is a 01 5SFE. i used Toyota OEM. The one that broke was a gates.
Good job bro, thank you.
Cheers
Ave watched your video on how to replace a timing belt,my question is how can I get an original toyota carry 1999 model timing belt,my car is the same as your car?
Get it from the Toyota dealership. It's worthit.
Can you help me to do that;because I don't no the original belt
$800???? I drive a 2000 Camry with 453K miles. I changed the timing belt around a 100 K - 120k ( Mostly highway) And the only thing I know how to do is fill the gas tank, The washer fluid, And check the oil. I'm funny about the parts my mechanic uses so I insist On only OEM parts and I and I have never never never paid more than $400 that's including the entire timing belt kit with pretensioner and pretensioner and water pump. IPhone this car since she was almost almost brand new (700 miles) And have never had a timing belt issue but I did have a 1989 Camry DX That snapped a timing belt at 5:30 AM Down the pitch black Florida turnpike. I had head Had the timing belt changed just a couple weeks earlier but but the mechanic didn't replace something called the pretensioner which caused the new belt to to snap. Luckily the non interference engine was wasn't damaged so the Mickey the mechanic's face didn't get damaged either.
HAHA. glad it all worked out in the end. cheers.
I have to change my timing belt because part of it is already ready, still runs but it's ready to bust anyday now. It constantly leaks radiator fluid but i just put in a new radiator. Still can't figure out where it's leaking radiator fluid from. Also how did you get your engine so clean.
I suggest change the belts along with water pump and oil pump and all seals. The fluid leak could be from the weep hole on your water pump or the water pump itself. Trace back to see if you can locate and pinpoint leak. (Weep hole is on the water pump itself. Its a tiny hole above the pump. Follow the radiator hose where it connects to the passenger side of the engine). I used simple green to clean my engine. You can watch that video in my channel. "Easy engine clean "
Great job, THANKS!
Thank you. Cheers
Can you please get the original toyota camry timing belt 1999 model for me?
At the dealership, you five them your Vin number and they will know which part you need exactly
Where dealership and how please......
Please help me,I changed my timing now almost every two two months intervals I don't want to that car is very good but now almost fed concerning this issue of timing belt,no original belt here
Is the top cover easy to remove for inspection?
Yes. Very easy
Hello sir do you know if this engine time interference?
It is NON INTERFERENCE. Cheers
@@PeterZafra thank u so much 😁.
I got the same problem but i dont have marks on the pulley so its complicate to put it right timing
There is a Scotty Kilmore video showing where to mark points on the belt track when changing the belt if you are still looking for DIY.
I see you are running the green coolant. Not a good idea if you plan to keep this long term. Best to use the toyota red.
Well, the Asian car makers specify POAT type coolant. I use Honda coolant in my Toyota no problems. As long its the correct formula color does not matter.
Hey I'm just wondering. If you can possibly get back to me on the asap as to I got work in couple weeks.
Anyway
My Toyota camry LE just started smoking on the side where the timing belt is However i cant seem to find out where the smoke is coming from? My step dad says it's the timing belt. But I did find out it could be a PCV valve. I do not know. I can you give me any suggestions? Anything helps
Awesome, thanks!
Cheers
I want to hear the engine how it sounds after you done your work
This car is a charm. My favorite ever. Plus its a very rare 5 speed manual transmission.
Umm watch the video he starts n runs it @10:45
Wonderful
Thank you. Cheers
What's the best oem parts to order for 2001 camry 2.2
Just order from the dealership directly.
Good job bro
Thank you!!!
Is the timing belt also known as a cam belt??
Well kinda but it's called a timing belt. It does go through the cam gear so yes but it's called a timing belt
How can you tell if the Timing belt broke on a 97 Toyota Camry?
When you try to start it, the engine sounds like it's not cranking like it usually cranks before it starts. You can also unbolt the top side cover of the timing belt on the passenger side of the engine compartment and see if the belt is broken. I hope that's not the case.
Can you tell me what gas mileage you're getting? I am trying to determine if there's a difference using the crank pulley dwell 0 mark you used or the crank cog alignment mark you're supposed to use (according to the shop manual) for setting crank alignment when doing the timing belt. I believe they're a few degrees off from one another, but I don't know why this would be. Both alignments seem to work, but the school that did my belt change used the pulley mark. Now, my car is not getting the mileage it was with the original OEM belt that was changed last November (I have a low mileage creampuff 99 5SFE). I was getting 30-32mpgs highway. Now I'm lucky to get 26mpgs. The engine is peppier, tho.
My car is a 5spd transmission so i get close to 36 on the hwy and 29 in the city mixed with a little hwy. I would bet that your timing is off especially since you said it happened after the belt change. When placed at top dead center TDC, you need rotate the engine 4 times and if it's in the same TDC, then it's good. Other than that, the timing will be off and will cause the engine to run poorly. I hope this helps. Let me know if your able to fix it. Otherwise, check if check engine light is on and see that it's not a bad 02 sensor or catalytic converter. The chances are small that it's coincidence but it could be. Cheers
@@PeterZafra This is sort of a big story, so sorry for that. I had it done at the tech school my wife works at, cause they do it for free and well equiped to do it. I bought the best parts, they installed them. Upon getting car back, I heard belt flapping when cold, but couldn't have them look at it for a few days. Car ran great, tho. Brought it back and explained problem. I also asked the same question I asked you.... is pulley mark vs. cog mark the same? They said yes, they can't see how it'd be different. They removed top t-belt cover and said belt sliped by one tooth b/c student didn't tension the belt properly, so they fixed it, again using pulley mark, not cog mark for crank alignment. End result, car runs great, gas mileage down a bit. I drive 400-500 miles per week, so this is not great. Can't look gift horse in mouth a 2nd time w/o proof pulley and cog marks are different. No one seems to know for sure, not even Toyota web sites. Like no one's ever heard of this before. I believe books say use cog mark. Thanks for listening to me whine. Any suggestions appreciated.
@@PeterZafra Well I had an upstream air/fuel ratio sensor issue right after the belt was reinstalled to correct the timing, but I bought a new OEM f/a sensor and installed it... no change in gas mileage whatsoever and it's fine to this day... no codes. The engine is still running great, infact it's better than ever. Just gas mileage is down. The engine is so zippy that I recently bought a K&N washable air filter and installed NGK Ruthenium spark plugs plugs in it, and it's even more zippy, but still no change in gas mileage
Really good video
Gibran Carrillo thank you. Cheers
Good

I was charge 465 for my timing belt & oil pump seal good deal or no?
Some people charge double that
This video doesn't give enough details on how to set timing belt tension properly. Also, it doesn't mention that this effort is a good opportunity to replace water pump, oil pump seals, camshaft and crankshaft seals and perhaps PS and AC compressor drive belts. Toyota manual or Aisin water pump kit says, with both upper and lower marks at TDC, turn crankshaft bolt clockwise twice to make sure camshaft pulley mark is aligned at TDC. Then turn crankshaft pulley bolt 1 7/8 turn clockwise which is going to put crankshaft at 45 degree mark on lower plastic timing cover. At this point, you have enough belt tension and can tighten tensioner bearing bolt to 31 ft-lbs torque. There are many better videos that cover details like exact steps, torque amount, wrench or socket sizes needed than this video.
Thank you for the input. You should make a detailed video on this job. It would really help a lot of people. Sorry for not being detailed enough. Cheers.
If you would of been going say 80 mph and your timing belt snapped do u thing your engine would still be good
Yes. It would be because these engines are non interference. The valves and pistons will never hit each other.
Excuse me but if you're already in there, why not replace everything including the tensioner bearings and all of the needed seals and other drive belts.
I agree and yes. Most mechanics will suggest that as well. What happened is that my old timing belt was an aftermarket (cheap) one that snapped at only 53k miles. I had changed all the other parts when i did the job previously so all those parts had only around 53k miles on it. I really didn't want to change it all again. I personally also have this theory that how come the cars that come with timing chains and not belts hardly ever need the water pump, tensioners, bearings, replaced? That's probably because they really don't need to unless they start a leak. Especially the water pumps. But then again, that is just my thought and opinion. I had a 96 tacoma (chain driven) with 525k miles and never changed the water pump. Just kept up with fresh radiator fluid every 3 years. Cheers.
@@PeterZafra I understand your point. But those parts already had 53k miles at that point. From personal experience, Volvo V70's timing belts rarely fail by themselves. It's actually the bearings in the tensioner pulleys that go bad and cause the belt to skip or walk off the pulley causing catastrophic failure. My point was to change everything. Trying to cheap out on a repair especially on something that is very difficult to access is never a good thing.
How fast were you driving when the belt snapped
From a stop light once it turned green it snapped.
If u were say going 70 and your belt snapped do you feel your engine would still be ok
@@louismelendrez1589 yes cause it is a non interference engine
So how many miles this belt last (the brocken one)
U want to come fix my timer belt on my Toyota Camry 2001
Aww man. This video is the best can do. Ha. Hopefully this helps you
Good video
Do you think the Blue timing Belt is better?just asking
I've learned to always go OEM unless of course your whole engine has been modified.
@@PeterZafra The OEM belt is made by Mitsuboshi for Toyota. Toyota uses several parts makers. Gates,Dayco,Bando,etc.
I used a Dayco timing belt on a Toyota before,no problems.
ماشاء الله موتر نظيف
Ok but how did you get the timing cover off?
You will need to remove the crank.
@@PeterZafra I'm sorry what!?
You need to take off the harmonic balancer, the thing below that the alternator and power steering pump belts go around.
Good job Peter so can you send me your contac
i have a problem water pump and timing belt toyota camery 2000,4 cylind
My car has been running hot but when I drive it. The car cools down now I think the timing belt just snapped
@@unforgettabletarasingh4082 if your timing belt snaps, your car won't run.
very good video, you make it look so easy!
Gotta Tinker33 this specific car is not very hard. You can do it!!!! Cheers.
Is this applicable on corona 93 model 3sfe?
3sfe and 5sfe are pretty identical so you should be able to relate. Cheers
@@PeterZafra thanks!.
Your welcome. Cheers
what do you mean snap the starter?
If you don't have power tools, you can snap the starter with a breaker bar to release the under drive pulley. It is very dangerous and that is why I didn't show it. I'm sure someone online illustrated it but for disclaimer purposes, I didn't show it. Cheers.
How long did that timing belt last?
It's still on my car. Oem is rated at 90k intervals.
The non oem I changed on this video lasted 58k miles only
@@PeterZafra the oem belt i just replaced on my 01 5sfe Camry had 127,000 miles and it still looked good, no cracks. I even folded and squeezed it and it didn't even crack.
i changed the head on my 95 but cant seem to figure out were the vacum lines go especially the 3 under the throttle body
Steven Aldridge the length of the hoses should give you an idea on where it goes. Usually to the egr valve. Let me know of that helps.
how did you tighten the lower 19 mms bolt on the bottom pulley?
K B I used a breaker bar. Then used an electric impact wrench
How many hours did it take you?
3
If your timing belt snaps doesn't that destroy the car
On interference engines, yes. But these Camrys are Non interference so if it snaps, then you just need to change the belt and set to TDC again. Cheers
@@brettduffy1992 I got 315k out of my 1995 Camry, and it never actually died. I just got a 1999 to replace it.
No wonder they charge 800$ for that
Yes. It's not a hard job but definitely isn't for anyone that doesn't have some wrenching experience. Cheers
+could you be my friend up here in oregon1 we could do my belt together and then i could show you oregon and you stay at my place for free..kev! I like your video- it's so damn clear what camera do you use man
K B I'm in Cali. Way too far. Hehe. You can get the job done I'm sure. Cheers.
Peter Zafra I’m also in Cali. Are you in SoCal?
Attempting to do job this weekend. Would love to pick your brain if you have some free time
Sure. No problem.
WHY DID YOU SKIP SHOWING US THE ORDER YOU REMOVED BRAKETS?
matt geere sorry bro. If anything, remove how I pointed them. I just wanted to avoid such a long video.
