Noz Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Any idea on estimation on hours? Just using a stock belt ok? Is it recommended to swap any other parts while I'm doing this that aren't obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Realy all depends if your pully bolt comes off easy Mine took 2 days because of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14PPA Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Just finished mine. Took me 1.5 hours to do. Crank pulley bolt is the worst part. I used the new snap on gun i bought and it undone it easy. I would change the tensioner and the guide aswell. But for some reason the tensioner is sold seperate and is £100. Heres how my car looked yesturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Did you find rolling the car on to its side helped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Did you find rolling the car on to its side helped? Those Snap On guns must have some torque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 starter motor and breaker bar on the floor has always seen my crank bolt come off in seconds , remeber to pull the main fuses though as you wouldnt want it to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Actually using the part revolution starting ability twin cam position sensors give the 2JZ-GTE one can usefully use the firing stroke as additional torque, if they are really stroppy. - - - Updated - - - Those Snap On guns must have some torque Good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Does the 2JZGE not have such turning capability then I take it doesn't matter where I buy the parts from then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger NE Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Whenever I've changed a Cam Belt it's looked perfect ! So personally, I've stopped worrying about changing them routinely on engines that are NON-interference types (like the 2JZ) . . . it can be more trouble than its worth. Actually, for the same reason, I don't think I would EVER buy a car that had an interference engine ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWT Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Those Snap On guns must have some torque I got mine loose with an IR 2131, but it took 110-120psi from the compressor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulley Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 As above, depends on crank pulley I'd recommend using a decent large ring spanner and lump hammer as breaker bars have too much give and absorb most of the shock If crank pulley comes of easily it takes me 30 mins start to finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the 2jzgte is interference And most the time I find the tensioner bearing is the part that needs renewing most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
