@@DIYKAI i just went to napa and they dont have at... Looks like i couldnt make one with a old socket a small plate and a couple strong pins... I will still look for one
Doing another timing belt here soon on my 1ga, Did you fab a bracket to take off the crank sprocket without it spinning with the belt off ? Or wedge a screwdriver between the teeth ? Thanks
how often should you replace the timing belt ? did it last in 2016 and have driven only 5.000 miles since then and the waterpump? can it stay in if it s not leaking etc?
We generally change interference motor timing belts every 50k or so for good practice and change the pump while in there. Not to say it can’t go longer we have done 100k before with no issues. If your not hard on the car then you should be fine.
Realistically speaking how difficult and timing consuming was this? I'm going to buy a 95 2ga 2g eclipse swapped to a 97 2gb. I assume the engine is the same but anyway, the water pump went bad so he wanted to do the timing belt too, and the mechanic cult the belt without locking the gears so it lost timing. I would want to do the repair before I buy the car and drive 10 hours back to Montreal with the car, repair it, and let's say find out its seized or something. Any info would be awesome and thanks a lot in advance
So this are interference type motors....DO NOT spin it over with the belt off it will cause damage..... Do you have some type of cam locking tool? Also the tensioner takes a special tool. If you dont have them you could use needle nose and locking pliers. It really depends on your mechanical abilities. For an "average" mechanic I would say it's around 3-5 hour job.
@@DIYKAI alright cool, shouldn't be too difficult then. Tore down and rebuilt my engine myself so I should be able to handle it. I'm also 10 months into a 16 month mechanics program
How are you am replacing the timing belt on a 1993 Plymouth laser 2.0 I see that you show a hydrolic tentioner that's different from the one in your car is have bought three of them the last one looks like the one you show on the video am hoping it fit on mine I also bought the tool but am going to have to get the camshaft one I done it before with out the tools but I haven't been able to do it hope this last hydrolic tentioner fit
I could not find the right one for some reason. If yours is not leaking reuse it. You will need a bench vise to compress it bad slowly and put a small drill bit in it to hold it
@@DIYKAI two late I forgot that I can use the press Wich is what I did when I rebuild the motor the first time and I throw it in the garbage I can believe I did that but I saw a lots of parts on ebay and other sites so I didn't worried hopefully this last on is the right one thanks for replying and thank Jesus that I finally got it on time know all I need is the hydrolic tentioner
I have a 420a and this was way more informational, then the 420a timing belt videos thank you very much ❤️❤️
Your welcome!
@@DIYKAI I’ve got pretty much every thing I need to start the job, it’s my first time attempting a timing belt so should go great
@@seekthecargeek2877 it's not to bad go slow double check and everything will work. If you run into any issues just comment and I will help.
I wish you didn’t skip over how you removed all the belts...... literally all I’m looking for. Stuck on how to remove the AC belt
I can run out real quick and take a look
@@DIYKAI thanks brother. This is for a 96 2g talon. You can send me videos on Instagram hashtag__vic
Oh this is a 94 it may be different...
Looks fairly simple. I am doing one today on my 95 eclipse... Supodedly the tensioner went out at startup... We will see
It’s not too bad take your time do you have the special tensioning tool? If not it’s cheap better to have it

hope this helps!

We have the special tool
Awesome video
Well done!👍💯
Thanks!
I'm putting a timungbelt on a 1995 eagle talon 2L turbo. The cams line up and the crank and oil shaft line up but not to each other.
Not sure would have to check the service manual
how often should you replace the timing belt ? did it last in 2016 and have driven only 5.000 miles since then and the waterpump? can it stay in if it s not leaking etc?

@@DIYKAI mainly drove it in town not on the autobahn and i shift early so u go after miles rather than years? btw thanks for the fast reply
btw i have a non turbo GS
@@marcoh.6345 yes you should be fine than we drive like its stolen lol...anytime we are here to help!
Easy to just point and give instructions. This doesn't help you to do the job efficiently effectively and with ease.
Yes it would have taken 10xs the amount of time lol....most know what they are doing already this was just a quick guide I guess lol

This looks like a scary job to do. Also need to replace the water pump as well. I’m anxious.
Take your time if you have questions we will be happy to help
@@DIYKAI Thank you, my car currently has a p0300 code so that’s my main priority but I just can’t find out what’s causing it.
That code is for random misfire:
Check plugs, wires, coil pack, fuel filter
I would suggest a full tune up if it’s been a while

So yea i had to return that tensioner and use the old one. It did fit bolt holes were off.

What kind of headers are those?
El cheap Ebay...lol...literally the cheapest set we could find but they fit really well
@@DIYKAI how's the difference? I have a 92 GS I'm working on so looking for some direction on the N/A platform
We like them nice and smooth flow it’s on a stock exhaust so not loud at all
