How to replace timing belt video 3SGTE

Post by GDII »

This is a good video showing how to replace the timing belt on a 3SG(T)E. It shows a GEN4/5 engine but very little is different between these and the other 3S engines. Main differences of this engine are the crank sensor and timing belt/pulley marks. GEN2 3SGE engines use a spring tensioner so slightly different process there.
