luvpsi Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 hey guys im looking for someone to change my timing belt on my rb25det as i could do it myself but im not confident enough. its in a vl commodore so their is alot more room than a skyline. reason i dont want a workshop to change it is because they all charge an absolute fortune Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/370358-looking-for-somone-to-change-timing-belt/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoHR31 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 how much can you do yourself? i could lend a hand but am pretty busy at the moment so not sure if i could do the entire job. if you can pull all the ancillary belts off, covers off, radiator out etc then i can probably help you with the rest.

luvpsi Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 i can do almost all of it myself i just dont have timing light and dont have the confidence really to muck around with the timing Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/370358-looking-for-somone-to-change-timing-belt/#findComment-5903952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahh 33 s2 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 as far as i no if u use a scraper to accuratly mark the cas position before taking it off, put it at TDC then take off belts, line new belt marks up with dots on the cam gears and crank gear, turn over twice by hand, make sure is all lines back up, then re install everything else, there isnt much need for a timing light, in saying that, a super cheap auto timing light is very cheap, use it and take it back the next day, get refund.

luvpsi Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 ok i may give it a shot only thing is i dont know how to use a timing light either Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/370358-looking-for-somone-to-change-timing-belt/#findComment-5907328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoHR31 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 best way to use a timing light on a twin cam RB is to unbolt no1 coilpack from the cradle and put a plug lead (if you have one laying around) between it and the plug then hook the timing light onto that. with a stock ecu at warm idle it should give you 15 degrees btdc, which is the middle mark of the 7 on the balancer.

luvpsi Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 yeah but i have a microtech ecu so how do i know if the timing has been changed Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/370358-looking-for-somone-to-change-timing-belt/#findComment-5909721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoHR31 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) only way to be sure is to hook it up to a laptop and look at a live ecu timing readout whilst setting the ca edit: or you could use a timing light before you do the belt and set it to the same after doing it Edited July 12, 2011 by JonnoHR31 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/370358-looking-for-somone-to-change-timing-belt/#findComment-5910246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jim Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 if you mark everything and put it all back the same way you should have no problems Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/370358-looking-for-somone-to-change-timing-belt/#findComment-5910583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
