Awesome video yours was the only one that talked about keeping the belt loose on the tensioner side. And helped me alot thank you!!

[yeyolara]

Really well done video very well explained, clear instructions and the right tools. That little tool for the tensioner saves lots of time.

Great tip about putting the cardboard against the radiator I have done that for several years when working on any vehicle that requires removing the fan and or the water pump or whatever is on the front of the engine. 👍

This is BS!!! Why don't you have more subscribers? C'mon people, get your shit together.

One of the best and most informative videos I've ever seen on the 3.4 . .
Well

so is it ok if you should turn one of the cams off mark to turn it all way around to the timing mark again? I did this and now am worried it will mess it up. Love your video sir.

Good video. Can we star up the engine in dead top center after replacing the timing belt?

I love you was struggling it’s like my third one but this one wasn’t going on until I seen this and left the idler out

The thermostat jiggle valve is supposed to by at the 6 o’clock position. Isn’t that true for all 5vz engines?

[MiguelAngel-gt]

You used a couple of tools that you don't use their names and where I can borrow, also if you can use more light and lower the volume of music. It will be very useful.
Otherwise, it's a great video...😊

Hey drew, when the cams gears are lined up with the markings and harmonic balancer is at zero, but the crank gear dotted mark is not line up with the nipple, it’s off by a tooth, how do you get it to all lined up?

[Maukaboi]

Hey drew I have a question about the thermostat bleeder valve I seen manuals say to put them in with the bleeder valve in the 6pm position which is better the up on down position I am about to do a water pump and timing set with the new thermostat as well

[raoulclemente]

Is it necessary to do a coolant flush n when doing this?

[raoulclemente]

One of the 12mm nuts of the 4 from the fan is rounded on mines. What’s the best way to get it off?

[jmachado]

Great vid thanks! Better than TRQ's video😎👍

[jimbeauxwalker]

When you were reassembling and doing the 1 rotation, why did the right cam mark wind up on the left cam mark?

[davidcooper]

Can you replace water pump without having to touch timing ?
