Easily the most clear and concise video for a timing belt replacement on these 2.4l engines. Much appreciated!
this video is how you know you found a pro. when you see this kind of auto mechanic repair video on the internet youll start to understand the youtube hype from the pros. scotty kilmer make note, never mind, just get off the internet. this is a awesome job. mitsubishi should love you. keep up the great help.
This video save me so much $$. My timing belt broke. Did the work my self with the help of this video. Car fired right up after installing a new water pump and timing belts. Running good now. Thanks again!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Seriously though, thank you for taking the time to do this. My timing belt at a red light this past week, and I had to get my car towed an hour from where I was back to my house. Of course everyone was quoting us a $800-$1200 price to get it fixed, and my dad was convinced he could do it, although he knows nothing about Mitsubishi or timing belt replacements. We did get everything fixed & IT RUNS great now!! There are a couple little things that I had to find out outside of this video - maybe commenting about the major one will get this answered for someone in the future.
I have a 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 4 cylinder 2.4L engine; When you said we need to unscrew the bolt "directly behind the exhaust manifold", we could not figure out which bolt it was in my car; we unscrewed the one we believed it was, but there was absolutely no space to get an allen key in there to check if it was blocked. There was not alot of space between the bolt plug and the exhaust manifold for us to do so; we ended up just doing the other timing test, where the gravity will pull it the right way, regardless if it looks like the white mark is lined up with the arrow (I found it on another video). It's probably just in a slightly different place than this cars' is, which makes perfect sense. So if anyone has this problem too, try doing the gravity trick and see if that helps.
Other than that, these videos helped out so much and saved me alot of time and MONEY! I appreciate it very much!
Thanks for the tip! I'm repairng my eclipse right now

Hey! Just wanted to say thank you for these 3 videos. I know you said this shouldn’t be my first timing belt job but my wife’s car is due for maintenance and I’m doing it myself to save the shop charge. Your videos have been incredibly helpful and you explain everything so well. Thanks again!

I bought a 2009 Facebook Marketplace Eclipse special a couple of days ago. The last time I did a timing belt was on a ‘88 Honda Gold Wing using Dad’s shop manual back in the mid 90’s. So needless to say, this is one of the better UA-cam University videos that will help me accomplish this task. The timing belt tensioner has me worried a bit and checking the cam through an access behind the exhaust manifold surprised me. Thank you.
there are so many videos on this same exact job on this exact engine. However, yours is the first one i found that clearly explained how to install the timing belt easily. great job and thank you for your video.
You gave me the exact info I needed. I've done several timing belts, but the special tool needed for that timing belt tensioner is something I don't have so I was worried about this job. You showed me what I needed to know that the tool isn't mandatory. 👍
This will be my first timing belt, and your video was an awesome explanation of what to do. Huge savings!
Well Done and thank you! The suggestion to break loose the water pump bolts was missed by others and a great help to me. I was impressed - thank you again
Great series of videos on this subject. I have the complete set of factory repair manuals for my Lancer and your clips were 4 times more useful than the manuals. Good quality video, just the right pace, each important step was covered, and nice editing to a watchable length. My gratitude to you for taking the time to make the series.
Hey np, glad to hear it was useful to you. Cheers
Absolute legend, thank you for this video, very helpful. Just done timing belt replacements and waterpump on my 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer CH. Took my old man and I a weekend to do but once we watched this it helped us complete it. Thanks again
That was a good ass video.
HI!
Thank you!! I `m going to replace the timing belt on my Galant 2003, I have seen many, many videos, but this is the best:)
Lisa.
To mirror what @Dax_Johnson said, there are so many videos on this same exact job on this exact engine. However, yours is the best and most informative! Thanks for the share!
Thanks for having the number one Video about correct Replacement sample in Water Pump and timing Belt correct change out, now your next Video steps should be how to correctly replace cam shaft seal replacement,. Once again thank for the number one video it is my first replacement and your way is very clear. I save the cost to be the boss. D.V.Marable 11-16-2014
Darrell Marable Glad to hear the video saved you money, thanks for watching. cheers

Changing the water pump was a little more than I was expecting and seemed overwhelming, but your video defiantly put me at ease! thanks for the help!
np, thanks for watching!
Great vid. Had to try a few times to get tension correct as it was up and down like a brides night dress. All done now, thanks from UK
Keep the videos flowing. I used this one to change The timing belt on my sons 2007 Mitsubishi eclipse GS worked out just great. I Used your other videos on how to work on air conditioners.
Just did the great wall x240 and this video helped me so much thank you
One of the better eng repair vids out there thanks for the attention to the details
Thank you! I have same Mitsubishi motor, l did the job myself, thanks to your video. you help me a lot Thanks again.
Haynes would’ve been proud of you…. Or jealous!
Very well made video. Only thing … the bolts on the harmonic balancer … they should be loosened at the same time as the bolts from the waterpump pulley.
But as Mitsubishi’s are a new world to me , this was a great guide !
What a nice video. All the information in a short video. Maravilloso.
You're vidoes are absolutely spot on I am doing my girlfriend's water pump and this timing components is all new to me. Thank you for helping us step by step I'm halfway done and know I can finish now.🙏
I literally did the C-clap part today! And tomorrow I’m going to install the timing belt.
Thanks for all your time, I wish I could bring my car to your shop.
used these videos to replace my timing belts, pulleys, water pump, and tensioner. now my car is back on the road and running better then ever. the only thing i wish these videos would have included would be putting the serpentine pulleys back on with the torque specs. but awsome video. and when putting the timing belt tensioner back in and releasing the pin. when the pistion is out and touching the bracket as long as you can get the pin back into the first two holes you are good.
I have never done a timing belt. Thanks to these videos I was able to put everything back together. I wasn't the one who took it all off, and I have to be the one who takes it off to be able to put back together. ...thank u
I need to replace the crankshaft sensor on my 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport, and am having a hard time finding any tutorial videos for tips on how to do it. But I liked this video, it was very informative and easy to understand. Thank you!
great video. very helpful, and good camera angles make it easy to follow.
Just a note for other viewers this is very similar to the 94 mitsubishi van if not the same.
Take your time, keep it clean and just follow the vid. Will work everytime.
Cheers mate.
I just did this on a 2011 galant 2.4 (same motor) & replaced the crank shaft sensor, everything looks like the video,so I go to start it & now it wont start. It cranks over & the timing belt turns & the serpentine belts turns also,while trtin to start it. Any idea's or help from anyone?? Thanks in adanvce
Great video, very detailed explanations. Thank you!
Great video. But actually it's better if you don't remove the pin on the hydraulic tensioner, and rotate the crankshaft gear a few times until a new alignment, and then just check if the inserted pin still moves freely. If it doesn't, then readjust the tension on the belt until the pin moves freely again (without ever removing it). Then after anew rotation and the 15 minutes if the pin is still moving loose inside the two holes, you're good to go, remove it and that's it. This way you skip the potential removal and new compression of the hydraulic tensioner
That is genius man!! Awesome tip! Thank you!!
Very good job on the explanation. Very nice job, i learned something, the bolt, 3/8 Allen wrench, the reason for doing this tension, able to pull the allen wrench out, with ease.. thank you sir, thank you..
I did it! Thank you for sharing the video. On my 2002 Mit Galant, I was able to change the timing belt, water pump and did run into a problem when I reinstalled the crankshaft sensor. Appears I set it wrong and it got shaved when I started the motor.(long story, took a while for me to figure it out) But, once I installed the new sensor, it started and appears to be running good. BTW, I had to reset the check engine light as the old sensor threw a code. Thank goodness for harbor freight, i got the tool that resets the check engine. All is good now, drives nicely, next I will be attempting to change the struts, shocks and brakes! Thank you again
Hey np, glad you found the video useful. gl with your next project. cheers
Great video! Thanks for the good details
Loved this series of timing belt video. Well, I loved him up until the very end… This is my first time in belt on my 15 minute break right now ha ha I wish me luck
did you have any troubles?
Great video as usual. Lots of stuff driven by this timing belt, the good thing is now manufacturers are going back to timing chains, which is convenient in a typical V6..
Interesting, I didnt know that was happening. Tx for sharing, cheers.
thank you, sir and this was my first timing belt replacement job ever
How did it go ?
@@unknownzarby1854 solid i am far more comfortable doing it again
@@221akm I’m doing mine this weekend and I’m really scared
@@unknownzarby1854 dont be
Just take your time and follow the video you will be ok
@@221akm alright thanks
Nice video. Not one of those silent videos I've seen. Nice that he mentions some torque specs. Nobody wants to publish them.
great video nicely done.. best part for me was you used the right amount of words to do the job and no more!! you should run video schools for youtube trainers. Mike from Australia
I was wondering what Ray Romano was doing these days! Really excellent video, details are excellent.
Nice job, nice detail........thanks a lot ratchets n wrenches
Amazing video series.
Excellent job and great explanation of how to fix the problem..just subscribed..
Good job very detail 👍
Doing an 07 eclipse, thanks for the info my guy 👌🏼
thanks its a good video its realy easy whit your description
Thanks! These videos were a great help!
Thank you so much for the video
I did this project yesterday on my 2006 Mitsu Eclipse. Worked like a charm. Great post. If you take your time and follow it step by step you wont have a problem. Hint: buy you a set of the metric ratcheting box end wrenches, you wont be sorry you did, I got the 5 piece set from Harbor Freight, 10, 12 14mm were the most frequently used.
Jeff Hestley Glad you found the video useful. Thanks for the comment. cheers
Jeff Hestley
This guy is a great mechanic
This is the best video I've found on timing this engine. Good job
good video very helpful. thanks!!
awesome work thanks a lot
I had he'll getting mine in time my belt was old it ran but moter died and know I'm at square one hope it didn't cause damage I've got my new kit in mail it was 159 +39.99 for air fare u have the best video yet I thought u had to have a tool to move tensioner I put the hydraulic tensioner after I put the belt on and I see that you put the tensioner on before you do the belt good job. Man
And thanks for showing using a hex key in that hole. The manual says to use a screwdriver. Works fine if you've got the exhaust pipe off, but you've saved me the trouble.
Well done great video 🙏🏻
Excellent video. Thank you.
thanks helped alot didnt know about that tensoner thanks man
This would be a real treat as a first belt change dealing with that tensioner and such close proximity.
You are always the best... thanks a lot sir.
What a perfect video. I have literature saying to remove the cylinder block plug and put a bolt in it when aligning the oil pump but it doesn't give any reference as to where the plug is located other then a poorly drawn diagram that I mistook for an Allen key plug for the balancer shaft and ended up stripping it and drilling it out. Hopefully no harm done and I can just rethread it and put in a new plug. Very frustrating to say the least. Thank you for the detailed and very easily understanding video but most of all thanks for showing exact location of that plug.
Nice vid mate.
you have a great talent. Thank you.
johnny imagen np, thanks for your comment. cheers
Very good video mate
Yaaayyyy thank you sooo much for this video!!!! =)
this is my first timing belt job on my eclipse 2002 eclipse scary

JEnri1984 glad you liked it, cheers.
Thank you very much you are the Man....
Parabens otimo video
grateful for this
2007 Galant
Loved it man thanks
Thanks, just had to re-due the Oil Shaft Balance Yesterday, after just lining up the Timing makes as some other posts Said (they never mentioned the Balance check)
Good work
nice job bro!
ty, thanks for watching!
you saved my life
You can use a pair of right angled pointy nosed or better still a pair of right angled circlip pliers in the two holes of the bearing to adjust the tensioner bearing on the main belt instead of a screw driver, works like a charm. Also if you are doing the water pump why not replace the crank shaft and camshaft seals while you are at it especially if the belt is being replaced for the second time. To be real fussy you should also check the hydraulic tensioner by compressing as shown then let it sit for 20 minutes or more without the lock pin (I use a pop Rivet) to see if the little rod comes all the way out under its own steam, this way you can be sure that the tensioner is not weak or it is ok.
Good Job, thanks
hope you can make a video replacing head gasket on 2.4l 4G64 engine
very good video man thanks alot
Jon Black Np, thanks for watching.
Awesome video my man! I believe you answered my question and problem. Yesterday my 04' Outlander spilled its guts of coolant but it was coming from the left side of the engine, instead of the radiator or reservoir and i couldnt figure it out. Car of course over heated and when i turned on the heater, no heat came out. Eventually after an attempt to limp home with stop-cool-go's ..she finally gave up on me and croaked along with what im guessing was the timing belt. Im sure the water pump died, but i still need to find where it was spraying and leaking from.

When putting the timing belt on, I left too much slack on the idler pulley side of the belt. That's what caused the sprockets to move off the timing marks. Just make sure the slack on the timing belt is on the auto adjuster side. Thanks again for vid. Been a month and car is still running
save me time and money...cheers!
brownhornetseventhre Music to my ears, thanks for watching.
I have to this job on my car and I believe I can do it the only problem is putting the right amount of pressure on each wheel when tightening the bolts, that's my only concern but then again you have this pin that's inserted and once you take it out it has to go in easily as well. In all accounts wish me luck and if I mess up I'll call you buy you a plane ticket and have you do it for me ....lol. Great video.
i plan on doing this in the summer but on my lancer hahah gonna do it as do it myself project but im kind skeptical
Im gonna do it on 2003 mitsubishi eclipse and im skeptical dont wamma ruin my engine
Great job!!
tyty

+Carlos Gavino Glad you liked it, thanks.
Thank you very much for this help Mechanic tryed to charge me 2.000$ saying it’s a bent valve but it’s just the timing is off only problem I am having is finding the bolt behind the oil pump but I’m pretty sure I got all the timing marks correct
2020 thisvideo save me a lot $$$ if u read this thanx a lot dude 🤝👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Awesome video
Brian Williams Glad you like it, thanks for posting.
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much
ขอบคุณมาก
good job
Good job
this video was super helpful. i had to put it back together on my ute. i bought it off my mate with it in pieces because he tried to replace the water pump. i think im missing one of the long bolts for the pump and he snapped the small one that goes in the little spot. Any ideas on what to do after then get rid of the car
Would love for you to explane the oil pump gear better
When testing the mark alignment with a 2004 Lancer with a 2.4 motor, all the timing marks only line up on 3 rotations, not 2 or 4. The only one that does not line up each time is the balance shaft attached to the oil pump. I've checked the position of the oil pump gear using the "gravity" method and checking the alignment hole. Both put the gear at the timing mark as being correctly positioned before testing rotation. Should it ALWAYS line up at a full compression cycle rotation (2, 4, 6, etc)? I can't imagine it will work out every time as the ratio for the crank to oil pump gear is 4:3. Crank gear has 24 teeth, cam gear has 48, oil pump gear has 18 and the other balance shaft gear has 19 (yes, I checked it twice). Is that correct? Seems odd.
Thanks!👍👍👍
