What DIY maintenance do you want to learn about?

I appreciate the length of this video and the camera angles. I've watched 15-20 of these videos online about the timing belt change and this one is the best produced, edited, step by step one. It took you a long time to create this content and I appreciate your effort.

Hey mate, you are a legend, I just replaced the belt and the water pump. Was watching your video and followed exactly what you’ve said there. Thanks heaps mate!

Very helpful video! Watched this about a year ago when I did the belt in my 80 and it helped me out heaps 👍

Tip to anyone doing the belt, make sure you replace the tensioner too. Mine hadn't been done by the last owner when the belt was changed, and it was sticky, allowing a dangerous amount of slack/backlash in the belt. A mate who helped out had a worse story, and his tensioner literally fell apart in his hands as it was removed...he was probably about 3km away from an $18k engine rebuild. Also, I got a replacement radiator from AdRad, and the fanshroud and overflow bottle bracket holes didn't line up on the new radiator strap. Big ups to Geoff Leeson's in Bunbury (where I bought it), for the suggestion to just swap the left side strap for the one off the radiator I'd replaced (they unbolt), so I didn't have to modify the strap or the overflow bottle bracket...

The way you put the pesky little spring back on made me go thru hell for an hour or so... I finally put it the other way around (from plate to tensioner) apart from that, great vidéeo, it came for me as great help. Thanks Mate!

Great video. No nonsense and clear understandable instructions. Cheers!

I needed this thank you 🙏 I just replaced the cylinder head 👍., an wasn’t sure about the timing just needed a fresher.

Top video. My 80's 1hz is now over 700 k km's and due for a t-belt and water pump job plus shim adjustment. Original 1hz to my 80 from 1992. With water pump gaskets on the 1hz and my cars I usually use a smear of Loctite 518 on the front and back of the gasket.

Thank you very much for your info and sharing your knowledge. I have seen your nuckle rebuild video and it helped me rebuild my 92 Toyota Lj78 nuckle. I will know tackle the timing belt! Thanks again from Odessa, Texas USA mate!

Пришло время и мне заменить ГРМ на моем кукурузнике, 1 HD-T, искал видео в русской версии наткнулся на Вашу, все очень понятно, спасибо 👍🤝

[heftymerv]

thanks a million, I only had mine done professionally and really not overly happy with the service, will be doing mine next time myself

[darrylbatty]

will be doing this job tomorrow and radiator replacement, great video and close-up clarity, thanks heaps for posting it

[jackchatfield]

Guess didn’t wait for the glow plugs on start up 😂 Great DIY video 👍

[muzzaball]

I thoroughly enjoyed that - and I don't even own a Tojo! I used to think belts were crap, until I had to live with chains. Easier to do a belt I reckon. Cheers mate.

[nicko]

videos like this are what we need, keep it up guys

[gdrahcir]

Mate top video. I have to do this tomorrow for the first time because i want to replace the water pump and i didn't realise it was behind the timing case housing. As soon as i opened that plastic cover i was like bugger that ill stuff it up big time so would get my mechanic to do it for like another $500 at least. You make it look so easy that im confident enough to give it a crack. Thanks again mate keep up the good vids.

Hint: nip the cam gear bolt up a bit. Fit the belt and tensioner. Then tension the cam gear bolt. Doesnt matter if the cam turns a bit because the engine is all.turning together.

[DIFFLOCKERS]

Cheers mate just done my timing belt and saved me 800$ on my 80. Legend.

Very helpful video! Subbed and added to my library. I have a 1990 JDM LC with the 1-HDT and I will be doing the TB change eventually.
