just did this on a friends Kia... FYI - if you want to make your own breaker bar for crank pulley, use a 0.25" steel flat bar and make three holes on the same centerline, Hole 1: 10mm diameter Hole 2: 31.75mm diameter (for a non impact socket outer diameter) Hole 3: 10mm diameter Hole spacing Hole 1: 0mm Hole 2: 34mm Hole 3: 68mm

Good video lesson. I'm learning I'm just to old school for the modern cramped spaces and excess component removal required to replace consumable parts. I'll just stick to the old stuff. I did polish up and mount the dwell meter on the wall as a surrender to the times.

doing one of these tomorrow.... vid helps tremendously... I am using the same exact Toshiba laptop with the exact same wear mark on the mouse pad!! hahaha

I've replaced the timing belt 5.5 yrs ago but only 15k miles. Should I still replace the timing belt & waterpump? Can the crankshaft be rotated 2x w/o removing tensioner pin to make sure dots line up, and if needed, I won't have to compress tensioner again? Excellent video. Thank you.

Great job .I'm doing mine this weakend. Need to do one on my volvo s80 t6.thank you.

I appreciate your time in making this video. At 13:17 you talk about taking out the black metal shroud behind the cam sprockets. From what I can tell I am not able to pull the shroud unless the cam sprockets are removed, correct?

Actually showing compressing the tensioner was helpful.

great job!

Thanks for the video... I got a question regarding oil pump on this same engine (2.7l V6 in a Tiburon), does the oil pump come out with the pickup nozzle or will I have to take the oil pan out to replace it?

Great video! Wished you could have been more detailed showing taking off and putting back on parts like crankshaft sprocket and water pump. Really everything. I know it would have been a longer video but it would have helped me better. (not being a real mechanic) Other than that it was a great video!! Good job! Thanks!!!

Great video

Hey I have a 2002 Kia Optima I was hoping you might be able to help with a problem I ran into with my harmonic balancer

does it matter when you time everything as long as its time is good when you put the new belt on,cause i see everybody setting the timing when there taking everything off,lets just say the crank moves a little down the bottom,will yolu be able to re set it as long as the belts off...cause imma about to do my first job,shit looks scray but i got to bust my timing nut some day,i did everthing else on my girls 2005 kia spoartage 2.7,from rear valve cover you name it,shes at 215,000 miles

Hi this also covers Hyundai trajet 2.7 V6

this video is good to wash

If the cam rotates clockwise can you rotate it back.

Another great video which is tempting me to do my timing belt myself. One question .... the pulley wrench you used on the top pulley ....Can that also be used on the crank pulley as well? And what part of the bottom of the engine did you jack it up to support it? Thanks again

If you are talking about a wrench to hold the cam pulleys in place while loosening or tightening the bolt in the center then I would say no, you need a different way to hold crankshaft pulley. bolt sizes are different too. They make strap style wrenches you can use to hold crankshaft pulley in place, or if you can get to the flywheel teeth and use a screwdriver or prybar to try to hold engine in place while breaking loose bolt for crankshaft.

​@@rodger6940The knock sensors are located under the intake manifold

Do you know where the two camshaft positioning sensors are located in the V6 engine? (04 Kia Optima)

Very good question I really need to know the answer to that one myself thanks in advance.

Hi my daughter has same car but son thinks she broke timing belt if so did she smak the values, is it a interface motor.

2001 Kia optima 2.5L V6 Serpentine tensioner does not have the 3/8th square hole (well at least mine didnt) you need to use an open ended wrench or vice grips to release the tension. Just an FYI if you're doing this job.

What happens when your camshaft won't turn to line everything up

I've got a 2002 Kia optima lx 4cylinder. Have had it on so many machines trying to find out why the ABS light came on by its self.I have spent atleast 500 or more trying to locate the problem. Help

Try pulling out and cleaning your Wheel Speed Sensors

Prolly the easiest timing belt to replace

Nah man ford diesel 2.5 WLT is the easiest

That seems like a lot to do as a woman who doesn't know how to fix cars 😭 I feel like I want to try to do it but I don't think I should lol so I guess I have to take my chances of my car turning off until I get more money soon ughhh

Hi how much belts in the car please??

I HAVE SET THE TIMMING MARKS 0N THIS KIA 2.7 3 TIMES AND IT STILL IS OFF BUT IT STARTS BETER EACH TIME WHAT THE HECK DO I NEED TO DO.

I don't know how to do the release for the tensioner on my 2001 KIA Optima. I need to slip the belt off the pump but it doesn't have a hole to stick the ratchet in. Is it possible there's a cover plate that needs to be removed first? In order to reveal the square hole?

Skipped the cam gear removal and talks way too much.

Do u know what bolt he's using too turn the crank?

he is rough. why do american mechanics wear gloves

15 minutes of exactly how to break it down followed 4 minutes of wishy washy horse-shit about putting it back together.
