I did one today on a 2004. Watched your video for a refresher as I've been out of the automotive field for 5 years and my tools have seen little use. Came out of retirement for a friend of mines son's first car. I've fallin far since my glory days of whipping these out in 45min. with a water pump change if I might boast. I sucked hot air today. Triple digits in North Texas, on my back in the garage, standing up/laying down/standing up........ WHERE IS MY LIFT TO GET THIS CAR IN THE AIR?!!! Yes, yes I am spoiled. You did a pretty detailed job with this sir. I would add: As cheap insurance of your time. Replace the water pump and thermostat while your doing this job. The water pump WILL NOT come out without removing the timing belt. You'll have to redo the whole job if that pump starts leaking. Save yourself the headache. My opinion, not everyone's.
This is the best how-to,you will find anywhere online for a belt replacement on an early rio.Thank you very much For the time and effort you put into it all those years ago.I spent over 2 hours looking for the crankshaft bolt rotation,with no luck,then this just popped up and its so easy to follow...Cheers.
Hey! Great video! I am working on my brothers KIA Rio, and this is the best how to instructional video i have found. Great job! i am confident that i can achieve the same results after watching your video, guiding me through step by step.
I've debated on changing my timing belt myself as it has been due for about 5 or 6 thousand miles.. Your video was very helpful and I might actually try to attempt to do this myself. I am very mechanically inclined, but seeing a video step by step of how it is done has dramatically improved my self-confidence in doing it myself. Thanks :)
Gave it some thought. I think that you can leave the crankshaft bolt in place and just remove the 10mm bolt holding the pulley/harmonic balancer on. My alternator gave out after 175,000 miles. Rebuilt alternator was designed to fit multiple makes of vehicles. Went to tighten the long bolt on the bottom, it never got tight. Ended up finding a longer 3/8ths stainless steel bolt at Tractor Supply. Used a 3/8ths locking collar as a spacer and a neoprene self locking nut to tighten it up. Works good.
If you live in a region where they salt the roads in the winter be sure to check the bracket on the coolant bypass pipe that runs behind the exhaust manifold. The bracket is welded to this pipe and is held in place by one of the nuts for the exhaust manifold. My pipe had rusted under the bracket where it is welded onto the pipe. Started leaking antifreeze when I was replacing my exhaust manifold and cat. New pipe cost less than $50.00 .
Just wanted to say "Thanks" your video was perfect I just did my first front wheel drive timing belt and it's purring like a kitten, I also did the motor mounts (all 3), a new CV axle and spindle and hub (drivers side), almost feels new but it only has 76,000 miles.
Awesome video! My 02 Rio has 138k miles right now, and I just replaced the radiator yesterday, but then I found antifreeze leaking from the water pump, so that's my next project, hope this video helps me!
The crank shaft bolt is stuck on my car. I used the fork method you used except I used bricks to support the handle. I'll have to take it to a mechanic to get the water pump changed.
Tensioner pulley has a spring that should put enough tension on the belt. I don't entirely trust it, so I use my hand to push the tensioner a little more on the belt before I tighten down the tensioner assembly. Just turned 190,000 miles and still running strong. People who drive it always ask me if I want to sell it. :)
Thanks for the upload, it gave me a push and a bit more confidence to do it on my car. It's not a very complicated job, but the room is a bit tight. Done other stuff but never replaced a cambelt before i always thought it was a babadook. Took me 4.5 hours. Somebody did the crankshaft pulley bolt up so tight had to get a 3/4" impact gun to undo, otherwise no dramas.
Thank you. When you do tackle this, just take your time and make sure everything is right, before you reassemble. If the timing is off, even just a tooth, you will have problems.
try crossing zip-ties between the cam gears to help hold them from rolling in. I worked for Hyundai and KIA for years. I never used the cam too you mentioned.
Regards. I doubt everything as you explain in the video but change pulleys cams will put the E where R and R where E is there a problem with that?They are different or the same?
the reason im trying to change the timing belt is because the rio just stoped all of a sudden on the side of the road and it wouldnt crank since then any input would b very apreciated since i think it has something to do with the timing belt or camshaft the timing belts not torn as far as i can see with the top cover off
+Fabian Villa Since you were driving this when it happened I would prepare for the worst case scenario. There is always a remote possibilty the engine is ok. You will not know for sure until you tear into it. Sadly odds are in favor that your engine is a goner. A used motor will cost around $1000.00, then of course labor. I wish you the best. If you move onto another vehicle (especially a used one). Check to see if it has a timing belt and when it was last replaced. They are typically good for about 6 years (yes they can dry rot) or 60,000 miles. Some engines out there like the 2.2 Ecotech used in a lot of GM vehicles have a timing chain. They did have some problems with the tensioner breaking on earlier engines. Just found a 2004 Saturn Ion for my sister in-law for $800.00 on Craigslist. Had 169,000 miles but still runs great and is a basic 4 door, 5 speed manual sedan... Very comparable to the Rio. Anyway it has the 2.2L Ecotech motor. No issues that I have found with it yet. Of course it was one of those GM ignition switch issue recall cars and there are some other minor concerns, but it is hard to go wrong for the price. I spent that much for tires for my 2002 4Runner.
+TheBGravit This might not be an interference engine. My 2002 Kia Sportage is a non-interference engine but that may be a completely different engine (Mazda FE3).
Thanks for the info thebgravit i came to the conclusion that the pistons are shot now since i cnt turn on the camshaft if i would have known u was supposed to change the timing chain at 80,000 miles i dont think id have this problem i went ahead and sold it for $300
Have a video on how I re-adjusted my rear wheel bearing on my channel and I have around 10,000 with no issues. Bought my bearings, races and seals at NAPA. Important to replace the races along with the rear bearings. Need to buy new nuts for the spindle from dealer to achieve proper torque. Also use a synthetic hi-performance wheel bearing grease. I would also buy new dust caps. Still on my original front wheel bearings with 160,000 miles.
Good video helpful, i just had problem when installing belt could not get it on because of tension from the spring, so, took of spring, lined up all mark again, put belt on then put spring on anchor pin the pulled spring on to tensioner with extra long needle nose pliers 13 inch, tightened tensioner bolt, cranked the crank shaft with socket and ratchet, three marks lined up nice did it twice to make sure, harbor freight 4 dollar tool made the difference.
Great video. Got into a little trouble. When I took cam gears off I did not notice each gear is marked I and E. Plu not sure if I have cams 180 degrees off on both. A pin oriientates gear to cam by slot on the gear. BUT! both gears have two slots. I think they did this so cam gear can be I or E. Thing is how does one know if each cam is 180 degrees wrong?
i guess the question is when crankshaft is tdc, then I suppose #1 cylinder should be tdc. Then turning both valve cams I should see tdc follow firing order. One revolution of crank should produce 4 tdc in the firing order
Great job! From experience, I gather its almost as much work making the video as changing the timing belt. I have done this similar change on two 2 litre Fords (Escort and Focus) and I am surprised at how similar the steps are, including taking the washer reservoir off!
My way to unscrew the crankshaft 21 mm bolt is to place a wrench key and turn it clockwise until it supports any fixed part of the car and then i give a small crank using the electric starter.Woks well , but this is of course if you don't have those special tools.
THANK YOU for the tips! I'm planning on doing this tomorrow. So... that car needed a coil pack, right? My Rio sounded like that, with misses and you could hear sparks jumping. :)
loosening the main crank pulley vibration damper ?one thing ive done many engines turn in the direction as to simply put a good half inch socket and breaker bars onto the crank bolt and simply hit the starter it will spin the bolt off so easy but you have to get your socket and bar proped right, and square; this is before you loosen any of the belt stuff ok? also if its like some nissans you will wont to heat the bolt as it may have locktight but not on most crank bolts ok? thanks !
I had the head rebuilt and was wondering if anyone might know what the torque is for the head bolts for my 2002 kia rio? I'm also replacing the timing belt while I got it down this far, so this video is a MAJOR help. Any other tips I might need to know would be a help too. This is not my line of work, but I know how to turn bolts and bust knuckles real good. A jack of all trades and a master of none!
Dell Russell Not sure what the torque specs are, but when I went to my local KIA dealership for another project. Their service department printed out the procedures for me. Hope that helps and good luck with your project.
if the crankshaft bolt won't budge you can put your socket on it with the extension bar touching the ground. Go get in the car and give the key/starter a quick go . Just on real quick goose. Thats what I had to do.
That bolt on the crank can sure be a pain. If you have a pneumatic impact wrench you can probably get it right off. There are other ways to break it loose, but they sound a bit scary. My Rio has around 175,000 miles and I am still on my original water pump, but your situation may be different. Good luck with your project.

Thanks Yes it is a fairly easy procedure....Hmmm Ford Escort....I wonder if the similarities are because the engine in this Rio is based on a Mazda engine. Ford and Mazda worked together since the 70's (Ford Courier Pickup) and it was Ford that gave KIA its start in the U.S. with the KIA Pride/Ford Festiva. Very interesting.
Hi great video , so I have a kia rio 2002 too and I have to replace my belt water pump and alternator & power steering and air conditioner , I just wondering to know if I have to loose the crankshaft bolt 21 mm and bolts 10 mm too? or is only if I have to replace the timing belt. Thanks again
I just did one today and those marks on the cam gears where not the marks for tdc there are dots on each gear at least on the 2005 Kia Rio I did today I noticed there were the marks you shower an lil tiny dots also
Emilia Martirosyan The Hyundai Sonata engine is similar, but different than the KIA Rio. If it is slack between the top 2 gears, then I would think that is a problem. Does the engine even turn over?
Done mine by changing water pump, camshaft oil seal, tensioner and Idle Pulley, timing belt. All marks are set correct, the camshaft Intake/Exhaust marked to arrow back of the camshaft pulley and crankshaft curve marked to the arrow on the engine block. Unfortunately, when started the engine vibrates...the exhaust sounds unstable....any opinion....?tq
It sounds like the timing is off. Perhaps it jumped a belt tooth? However, the sensitive wiring could have been bumped and sent a sensor haywire like on my 02 Kia.
I would double check your crank timing mark first, then the intake and exhaust timing marks. When the tensioner is snugged up and you manually crank the engine over once completely, all timing marks should line up. When you set the timing with the belt loose... and you tighten the tensioner, it can throw the timing on the cams out a bit. If you had one cam...thinking the intake off a tooth... It might look fine when the tensioner is loose but be out when you snug up the tensioner. Hope this is helpful.
Another thought. Do you get a check engine light? connect a live data scanner and watch the timing advance. Also check that all cylinders are getting a spark. Doing a vacuum test should show 21-23HG at idle. Short term fuel trim should be between -5 and 5. It might be something other than the timing belt like something that may have forgotten to get plugged back in. Or a failed crank or cam sensor that is throwing off timing.
You can also pull the valve cover off, line up all three timing marks on timing belt then check the camshaft lobes for the #1 cylinder (closest to the timing belt). When cylinder 1 is at top dead center TDC the high spots of the lobes will be off lifters/tappets (whatever they call them). Taking the plug out for that cylinder and placing a long rod, dowel or screwdriver down into that cylinder will allow you to tell when the piston is at the top of its travel. If it is running rough this could be caused by many things. If the engine broke the belt while running you could have bent the valves or even worse punched holes in a piston or pistons. If it overheated you could have cracked, warped the cylinder head or blown a head gasket. Could be something minor like the firing order out or a bad plug wire.
Bom dia ! Muito bom seus videos , parabéns ! Preciso de uma informação sua caso tenha , vc tem manual sincronismo da correia dentada do Kia Clarus 2.0 16V ano 97 ? Se tiver favor me passar
Thanks...Sadly the Yugo was a great idea and a decent car (essentially a Fiat), but with horrible Quality Control. Believe Malcolm Bricklyn was responsible for bringing them to the U.S. My girlfriend had bought one new and as she drove it away from the dealership she turned on the windshield wipers and they fell off. Knew a guy that had a Fiat X19 and he replaced his engine with one pulled from a Yugo.
thanks for the video its been alot of help working on my 02 rio im at the part where im trying to line up the marks moving the cam shaft but around 2 inches from lining up the camshaft siezes solid i cant move it at all do you know what this might mean or is there a way around this problem
Important!!! This is interference engine!!! If the pistons are not moving then the valves are coming down... opening... and hitting the top of the piston. If you try to force it it could bend a valve :( . If the car was running before this was done then you are most likely ok. If it broke the timing belt when running then probably not. Sounds like you are trying to turn the camshaft too far and the valves are coming in contact with the top of the piston. Recheck to make sure you are using the correct timing marks. Hope this helps :)
+TheBGravit Sorry about the extra replies... Phone was acting screwy. At my computer now... If you were replacing the timing belt then at about 4:07 on this video you saw me lining up the marks with the old belt still on. I have heard that newer engines have different timing marks, but mine is what a 2002 KIA Rio would have and the engine was never replaced. Notice there is a "E"and a "I" on both camshaft sprockets. This is because they are interchangeable. The intake camshaft is on the back side of the engine and the exhaust camshaft is on the front side of the engine. At 6:40 I show the crankshaft timing mark, still with the old timing belt on. This is TDC (Top Dead Center) for cylinder 1. That means the #1 piston is at its upper most point of travel and both intake and exhaust valves for this cylinder should be closed. The other 3 cylinders are at different steps in the process. This is a 4 stroke engine so you have 1-Intake, 2-Compression, 3-Power (Combustion) and 4-Exhaust. Cylinder 1 is at the very beginning of step 3. The other 3 cylinders at one of the other steps in the process. Now when you say you can not turn the camshaft because it is binding. This leads me to believe that you have the timing belt off (or extremely loose) and the pistons are not moving so some valves are hitting. If the car was running before you began this process you are ok. If you are attempting to replace a broken belt, then you may have damage inside the engine causing your problems. Interference engines are wonderfully efficient, but when the timing belt breaks they are very rarely ever able to run again unless rebuilt. Possibly a new cylinder head as well. Since I do not know everything that happened leading up to your problem, I have to make a best guess. At 7:16 I am trying to align the Exhaust Cam sprocket. It is on the front side of the engine and has the "E". At 8:03 I am aligning the Intake "I" camshaft sprocket. It is at the back side of the engine. If for some strange reason this some how got all messed up, then you could pull the spark plugs and turn the crankshaft until all pistons were down the cylinder away from the valves. You could check this with a pieice of long wire. Like a welding rod or coat hanger. This would allow you to turn the camshafts to get them close to where they need to be. Then bring the crankshaft back up to it timing mark. Hope this helps.
+TheBGravit the car just stop running on me and it wouldnt crank after that ,the timing belts looks intact as far as i can see with the top cover off and it moves when i turn on the crankshaft to a certain point then it wont turn at all
If it jumped timing down on the crankshaft then the top 2 camshaft marks may look fine but still be out of time. Had a friend with a Yugo that could not get the motor to turn over one winter morning. Snow had got inside and caused it to jump time on the crank and when he tried to start it he just got a clunking noise from the engine. I was able to pull the belt and realign and luckilly he did not damage his engine. Take your Spark plugs out to make it easier to turn over by hand and look for the timing marks on the crankshaft belt pulley. There are timing marks on the bottom plastic cover you can line this up with. Then look at your camshaft timing marks to see if they are aligned.
Having the timing belt go is typically very bad. Do not know if you had the engine torn down after it happened. You could ave a bent valve or damaged piston. 2002 was around the time Hyundai got involved with KIA, so your 2003 most likely has a Hyundai engine. Do a Google/online search for... kia rio forums A lot of good info/threads on that website and the people are pretty helpful.
Timing belt should be done every 60,000 miles to be safe. I have had as much as 80,000 miles on one but would not recommend anyone going this far between changes. Engine is junk if it goes. It is an easy job for a decent garage and should only cost around $300.00 to do it. If you have the water pump replaced while they are in there maybe $400.00 to $500.00.

On loan to my sister in-law. Still running strong with over 200,000 miles. We are all quite happy with it. She keeps wanting to take it off my hands. :)
If you are concerned about being a tooth out, just manually crank the motor using a wrench on the crankshaft until the timing marks line up again and check to see if they are right. If not move the belt enough to adjust the gear that is off with a wrench. Then crank it over again and check. I find on my engine there is just the right spot where the cams do not move and allow me to get the belt on. I tend to hold the wrench on the intake cam as I am slipping on the belt. Hope this helps. Here are some various ways to hold the cams in place... www.google.com/search?q=camshaft+timing+sprocket+lock&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=KqDUVI1diKqCBP-bgiA&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg&biw=1680&bih=924

try crossing zip-ties between the cam gears to help hold them from rolling in. I worked for Hyundai and KIA for years. I never used the cam too you mentioned.
That is an excellent tip. Thank you :)
Hey Matt how would I use the zip ties to hold the gears in place?
Multiple zip ties between the opening of the intake and exhaust cam sprockets while the old belt is still in place and tight.
It is hard to describe but the ties would form an "X" between the cam gears.
Yes. Good strong ties too. :)
Glad I could be of assistance. Happy motoring...:)
Regards. I doubt everything as you explain in the video but change pulleys cams will put the E where R and R where E is there a problem with that?They are different or the same?
Awesome Video! This gives me the confidence to change mine soon. Thanks for the detailed info!
the reason im trying to change the timing belt is because the rio just stoped all of a sudden on the side of the road and it wouldnt crank since then any input would b very apreciated since i think it has something to do with the timing belt or camshaft the timing belts not torn as far as i can see with the top cover off

This is not my line of work, but I know how to turn bolts and bust knuckles real good. A jack of all trades and a master of none!
Dell Russell Not sure what the torque specs are, but when I went to my local KIA dealership for another project. Their service department printed out the procedures for me. Hope that helps and good luck with your project.
+TheBGravit Thanks, I might look into that.
if the crankshaft bolt won't budge you can put your socket on it with the extension bar touching the ground. Go get in the car and give the key/starter a quick go . Just on real quick goose. Thats what I had to do.
Glad to be of assistance.
That bolt on the crank can sure be a pain. If you have a pneumatic impact wrench you can probably get it right off. There are other ways to break it loose, but they sound a bit scary. My Rio has around 175,000 miles and I am still on my original water pump, but your situation may be different. Good luck with your project.

Thanks
Yes it is a fairly easy procedure....Hmmm Ford Escort....I wonder if the similarities are because the engine in this Rio is based on a Mazda engine. Ford and Mazda worked together since the 70's (Ford Courier Pickup) and it was Ford that gave KIA its start in the U.S. with the KIA Pride/Ford Festiva. Very interesting.
Just in case you are not talking about the timing belt, meaning the belt for your A/C and such...you would leave the crank shaft pulley on.
Would my engine be really screwed up if the belt broke at about 25 miles or less?
Hi great video , so I have a kia rio 2002 too and I have to replace my belt water pump and alternator & power steering and air conditioner , I just wondering to know if I have to loose the crankshaft bolt 21 mm and bolts 10 mm too? or is only if I have to replace the timing belt.
Thanks again
I just did one today and those marks on the cam gears where not the marks for tdc there are dots on each gear at least on the 2005 Kia Rio I did today I noticed there were the marks you shower an lil tiny dots also
The newer Rio's after 2002 are more Hyundai than Kia. Probably some change in engines and design.

Do I have to completely drop the alternator?
On my 2002...no. I do have to remove my alternator belt though.
Awesome video!! Thanks for your great work!
Thanks and thanks for watching :)
Very nice video i like it very much. Hop in future we see moor video. ❤❤❤💓💪👍👌
Thank you. Hope it helps.
Hi my car Hyundai sonata i just today wanna see my timing belt in side i twisted from between two drums is happen some damage or no?
Emilia Martirosyan The Hyundai Sonata engine is similar, but different than the KIA Rio. If it is slack between the top 2 gears, then I would think that is a problem. Does the engine even turn over?
Done mine by changing water pump, camshaft oil seal, tensioner and Idle Pulley, timing belt. All marks are set correct, the camshaft Intake/Exhaust marked to arrow back of the camshaft pulley and crankshaft curve marked to the arrow on the engine block. Unfortunately, when started the engine vibrates...the exhaust sounds unstable....any opinion....?tq
It sounds like the timing is off. Perhaps it jumped a belt tooth? However, the sensitive wiring could have been bumped and sent a sensor haywire like on my 02 Kia.
Thank you. Sensitive wiring bumped, which one is it? How do you correct yours?
I would double check your crank timing mark first, then the intake and exhaust timing marks. When the tensioner is snugged up and you manually crank the engine over once completely, all timing marks should line up. When you set the timing with the belt loose... and you tighten the tensioner, it can throw the timing on the cams out a bit. If you had one cam...thinking the intake off a tooth... It might look fine when the tensioner is loose but be out when you snug up the tensioner. Hope this is helpful.
Another thought. Do you get a check engine light? connect a live data scanner and watch the timing advance. Also check that all cylinders are getting a spark. Doing a vacuum test should show 21-23HG at idle. Short term fuel trim should be between -5 and 5. It might be something other than the timing belt like something that may have forgotten to get plugged back in. Or a failed crank or cam sensor that is throwing off timing.
You can also pull the valve cover off, line up all three timing marks on timing belt then check the camshaft lobes for the #1 cylinder (closest to the timing belt). When cylinder 1 is at top dead center TDC the high spots of the lobes will be off lifters/tappets (whatever they call them). Taking the plug out for that cylinder and placing a long rod, dowel or screwdriver down into that cylinder will allow you to tell when the piston is at the top of its travel. If it is running rough this could be caused by many things. If the engine broke the belt while running you could have bent the valves or even worse punched holes in a piston or pistons. If it overheated you could have cracked, warped the cylinder head or blown a head gasket. Could be something minor like the firing order out or a bad plug wire.

awesome vid!! i have a 1988 Yugo BTW!
quiero que me ayude tengo un carro mía río 2003 es de 4 cilindros lo que pasa seme apaga ya cuando le aselero
good job l follow you from Iraq keep going 👍
Is it normal that when changing the timing belt and when accelerating sounds like a toy car? Notice how it sounds in the video when you accelerate.
keider cruz duque Camera I used does not have a fuzzy mic. Does not sound this bad to me or anyone else who has heard it.
Thanks...Sadly the Yugo was a great idea and a decent car (essentially a Fiat), but with horrible Quality Control. Believe Malcolm Bricklyn was responsible for bringing them to the U.S. My girlfriend had bought one new and as she drove it away from the dealership she turned on the windshield wipers and they fell off. Knew a guy that had a Fiat X19 and he replaced his engine with one pulled from a Yugo.
Thanks for the input.
thanks for the video its been alot of help working on my 02 rio im at the part where im trying to line up the marks moving the cam shaft but around 2 inches from lining up the camshaft siezes solid i cant move it at all do you know what this might mean or is there a way around this problem
Important!!! This is interference engine!!! If the pistons are not moving then the valves are coming down... opening... and hitting the top of the piston. If you try to force it it could bend a valve :( . If the car was running before this was done then you are most likely ok. If it broke the timing belt when running then probably not. Sounds like you are trying to turn the camshaft too far and the valves are coming in contact with the top of the piston. Recheck to make sure you are using the correct timing marks. Hope this helps :)
+TheBGravit Sorry about the extra replies... Phone was acting screwy. At my computer now...
If you were replacing the timing belt then at about 4:07 on this video you saw me lining up the marks with the old belt still on. I have heard that newer engines have different timing marks, but mine is what a 2002 KIA Rio would have and the engine was never replaced.
Notice there is a "E"and a "I" on both camshaft sprockets. This is because they are interchangeable. The intake camshaft is on the back side of the engine and the exhaust camshaft is on the front side of the engine.
At 6:40 I show the crankshaft timing mark, still with the old timing belt on. This is TDC (Top Dead Center) for cylinder 1.
That means the #1 piston is at its upper most point of travel and both intake and exhaust valves for this cylinder should be closed. The other 3 cylinders are at different steps in the process. This is a 4 stroke engine so you have 1-Intake, 2-Compression, 3-Power (Combustion) and 4-Exhaust. Cylinder 1 is at the very beginning of step 3. The other 3 cylinders at one of the other steps in the process.
Now when you say you can not turn the camshaft because it is binding. This leads me to believe that you have the timing belt off (or extremely loose) and the pistons are not moving so some valves are hitting. If the car was running before you began this process you are ok. If you are attempting to replace a broken belt, then you may have damage inside the engine causing your problems. Interference engines are wonderfully efficient, but when the timing belt breaks they are very rarely ever able to run again unless rebuilt. Possibly a new cylinder head as well.
Since I do not know everything that happened leading up to your problem, I have to make a best guess.
At 7:16 I am trying to align the Exhaust Cam sprocket. It is on the front side of the engine and has the "E".
At 8:03 I am aligning the Intake "I" camshaft sprocket. It is at the back side of the engine.
If for some strange reason this some how got all messed up, then you could pull the spark plugs and turn the crankshaft until all pistons were down the cylinder away from the valves. You could check this with a pieice of long wire. Like a welding rod or coat hanger. This would allow you to turn the camshafts to get them close to where they need to be. Then bring the crankshaft back up to it timing mark.
Hope this helps.

the car just stop running on me and it wouldnt crank after that ,the timing belts looks intact as far as i can see with the top cover off and it moves when i turn on the crankshaft to a certain point then it wont turn at all
+TheBGravit A very important step in the timing belt replacement procedure is aligning up these timing marks before you pull the belt off.
If it jumped timing down on the crankshaft then the top 2 camshaft marks may look fine but still be out of time. Had a friend with a Yugo that could not get the motor to turn over one winter morning. Snow had got inside and caused it to jump time on the crank and when he tried to start it he just got a clunking noise from the engine. I was able to pull the belt and realign and luckilly he did not damage his engine. Take your Spark plugs out to make it easier to turn over by hand and look for the timing marks on the crankshaft belt pulley. There are timing marks on the bottom plastic cover you can line this up with. Then look at your camshaft timing marks to see if they are aligned.
Also here is a good link about timing belts from DAYCO. Search for " DAYCO the forgotten belt "
It is on UA-cam
BUENAS noches tengo una pregunta me puedes colaborar cucuta colonbia
Also to my last comment whats up with the white marks?
Having the timing belt go is typically very bad. Do not know if you had the engine torn down after it happened. You could ave a bent valve or damaged piston. 2002 was around the time Hyundai got involved with KIA, so your 2003 most likely has a Hyundai engine.
Do a Google/online search for...
kia rio forums
A lot of good info/threads on that website and the people are pretty helpful.
Timing belt should be done every 60,000 miles to be safe. I have had as much as 80,000 miles on one but would not recommend anyone going this far between changes. Engine is junk if it goes. It is an easy job for a decent garage and should only cost around $300.00 to do it. If you have the water pump replaced while they are in there maybe $400.00 to $500.00.
Im pretty sure these are non interference engines being a mazda b5 engine. If timing belt snaps the valves shouldnt hit the pistons
Thanks for the input. I am kind of wary of the whole tap the starter thing. Just kind of scears me...:)
Thank you.
Peace be upon you I am from Egypt and with you Kia Spectra 2003 I made a kit of camper, repair, cylinder and tanks and I was in the problem of steering wheel camouflage because I was wrong in the direction of the column and I did not know the direction of the pole and the area of i and e and led to the damage of the wall and I need you after thanks for help The two pillars of the cam
U kno its super easy break crack pulley bolt loose,put socket on crank bolt,then breaker bar,place breaker bar against frame rail.tap starter,bolt comes out super easy

How's the Kia holding up?
On loan to my sister in-law. Still running strong with over 200,000 miles. We are all quite happy with it. She keeps wanting to take it off my hands. :)

That's good to hear! My timing marks moved just like yours but I cant win the battle against those cam springs!! Any advice?
If you are concerned about being a tooth out, just manually crank the motor using a wrench on the crankshaft until the timing marks line up again and check to see if they are right. If not move the belt enough to adjust the gear that is off with a wrench. Then crank it over again and check. I find on my engine there is just the right spot where the cams do not move and allow me to get the belt on. I tend to hold the wrench on the intake cam as I am slipping on the belt. Hope this helps. Here are some various ways to hold the cams in place... www.google.com/search?q=camshaft+timing+sprocket+lock&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=KqDUVI1diKqCBP-bgiA&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg&biw=1680&bih=924
I believe these are the mazda copy non interference engine.
I'll think I'll just pay somebody to tackle this job. Too much labor involved. I might screw something up.
