I messed up the timing on my car once when I did the belt. The tensioner let loose as I was spinning the engine over by hand and the cam timing skipped a few teeth. Thankfully I was smart enough to stop right there and suck it up and have a shop retime the engine for me, and that saved the truck for sure. Sometimes you gotta realize that doing shit yourself can be more expensive in the long run, and if I had tried to spin it over I would've surely destroyed the engine, but thankfully my 300, 000 mile truck gets to continue to rack up the miles.

That scope is pretty nifty. A lot of math involved there. Being able to measure the compression of one cylinder then using it to calculate the compression on all the rest is something I never thought would be made a thing. I know it can't be totally accurate but it's probably pretty close. I was a big math geek in high school and I like seeing math put to work in real-world applications.

It pisses me off to hear the neglect of what the previous mechanic did to not have to work on the backside and its obvious he relied on another mechanic to tighten up bolts that was put in by hand tighten only. No supervision there. Just trusting an idiot to do what you expect the idiot to do. But then you are an idiot for not going behind the idiot after he said he did the work.

Ive done a cam belt wrong before. 2 valves removes a slice of piston.
Recently I had to do the head gasket on my car but this time I was fortunate. Before removing the timing chain, you line up piston 1 on the compression stroke and use a crank and cam shaft locking kit to physically lock the valve timing in place.
Result? My car runs better!

You're wasting your time with a compression test and you're also wasting your time trying to figure out which cylinder is that all that matters is you have a bent valve the cylinder head needs to come off figuring out which cylinder has a bent valve will do you no good without taking the head off so why even bother determining without pulling

Yeah you should have worked on and engine being that he was a shade tree mechanic that he was more familiar with but I've did that thinking ones like the other like when you work on Chrysler forget what you know about the rest of this yet some of the other s good job brother

8: 50, had to fix a Subaru with the same issue. Customer did his own belt and used wrong mark. Funny thing was he did the belt because it ran bad and his diagnosis was belt. Turns out it was an intake gasket. Lucky for customer his Subaru wasnt an interference engine.

I did the timing belt on my 2003 Odyssey and followed the factory service manual. It started right up the first time. The instructions weren't difficult. I torqued everything to spec. Maybe I'm OCD. Maybe I don't want to junk a car for being an idiot.

One important fact in life is if you don't know how to do it say you don't know how to do it and find out the right way before you screw something up or hire somebody that actually does know how to do it you know like Eric great video guy

This is why I never and I mean never touch anything to do with the mechanics of the car I'm always afraid that I will treble the cost of the repair by touching something I know nothing about, leave it to those who know what they're doing
