a manual is a book not a computer

http://www.alldata.com/ This is an awesome online resource I use with step by step guides. retailmenot.com has discount codes. Yes had to remove all but the far aft pulley. will need a puller for the crank pulley (harmonic balancer) timing belt and water pump is behind the plate the pulley's attach to. Always a great idea to replace the water pump while in there good insurance. no sense in going through all the hassle to do it later on.

also ended up replacing the accessory belt pulley's. pulling them off disturbed the bearings and they started groaning something awful. they were like 5 bucks a piece at autozone

I was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks to keeping the marks lined up and the camshafts from moving when replacing timing belt on pacifica. I did as the alldata manual stated(loosened the rocker arms) and everytime I started to screw in the the tensioner and when it was tight the left(nearest cab) moved a tooth. I tried everything from advancing one tooth to tighening the rocker arms and after six hrs I gave up and had it towed to a garage. I have worked on my own vehicles for 16yrs or more and have done all kinds of repairs including replacing an engine and never have had to do this? any suggestions of what I was doing wrong?

Hi, i own a 300 touring... how did you locked the crankshaft pulley to remove the bolt?
Is 3.5l a freewheel engine? did you needed specific tools for chrysler 3.5 engine? thanks! |
You'll need a vice to compress the tensioner prior to re-installing and a pin to lock it in place until you get it mounted. Something about the thickness of a paperclip but more rigid. I don't remove the harmonic balancer, but some people do. It's a low profile puller like this one >>http://www.matcotools.com/catalog/pr...DAMPER-PULLER/ Other than that, it's pretty straighforward. Go ahead and do the water pump while you're in there.
TIMING BELT CAUTION: If camshafts have moved from the timing marks, always rotate camshaft towards the direction nearest to the timing marks (DO NOT TURN CAMSHAFTS A FULL REVOLUTION OR DAMAGE to valves and/or pistons could result). https://w05.dealerconnect.chrysler.c...S/81d1d39d.gif 1 - RIGHT CAMSHAFT GEAR ALIGNMENT MARK 7 - LEFT CAMSHAFT GEAR 2 - RIGHT CAMSHAFT GEAR 8 - LEFT CAMSHAFT GEAR ALIGNMENT MARK 3 - CYLINDER HEAD TO INNER TIMING BELT COVER BOLTS - RIGHT 9 - CRANKSHAFT GEAR ALIGNMENT MARK 4 - TIMING BELT 10 - CRANKSHAFT GEAR 5 - WATER PUMP PULLEY 11 - TIMING BELT TENSIONER PULLEY 6 - CYLINDER HEAD TO INNER TIMING BELT COVER BOLTS - LEFT 12 - TIMING BELT TENSIONER

Wow alldata is wonderful... I also need a good DIY manual to replace automatic transmission fluid on 300 chrysler... i never found a good manual, is there a particular procedure or is simple? have you got a link to a manual or video?
Plase note that i'm from italy (milano) so maybe my english it's not so good... Perhaps here in italy mechanics are not concerned to repair USA cars, maybe they feel a risk to damage the car... If i go to a chrysler dealer service it's really really expensive... Fortunately i like motors and DIY! so it'a a pleasure to contact experts in USA! I purchased my 300 touring in Miami and imported it in italy... done all myself.. i really like usa cars. |
