I understand at the mileage I have I need to have the timing belt changed. I wa wondering if you
could tell me the labour time involved in this?

Approx. 3.5 labor hours to replace your vehicle's timing belt.

Well all I am going to give it a try and change the timing belt. Is there any advice from the pros out there? I plan to change the water pump also and the tensioner. Any help is always appreciated.

it is best for you to rent book from that link as it is quite involved and to much for us to copy/paste. you will get all the mechanic's tips as well as tsb's as you can print out what ever you want I think it rents for a week.

Do I need to purchase any special tooling to replace the timing belt for a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo? Also, how do I differentiate the tension pulley from the rest of the pulley?

need to know engine size

V6.

VERY complicated proceedure needs special tools LOTS of steps. Also if belt broke then valves are bent and head needs removed.If you do not have this type repair experience suggest you have this done.

OK, perhaps I misworded my question. I just need to replace my serpentine belt. How do I know which piece is the belt tensioner?

That is a lot easier no special tool just wrench on tensioner nut push down ie. clockwise to loosen tension

So which item number am I loosening? I loosened Item 6 two days ago and the belt stayed tight. And thanks for your help and patience.

What engine?

#6 don't loosen it is spring loaded wrench on bolt push down to release spring tension

ENGINE 3.2 L V6 MPI DOHC

my last response is not showing up, did you see it? not sure if you got it and if you need further assistance.

ok

I am trying to set the timing on a 2001 isuzu rodeo 2.2 dohc. The diagram doesn't accuratly show the timing marks, which way should i be lining them up? There is 1 mark on intake cam gear and 2 marks on the exhaust cam gear along with the single mark on the harmonic balancer.

Here are the marks

Yep that is the diagram I have got. Like I stated before there are 2 marks on the exhuast cam and 1 mark on the intake cam. Which mark goes where? The picture only shows 1 mark on each cam but there are 2 on the exhuast cam.

The marks should appear different. There is actually only one timing mark on each pulley. The other mark must be something else.

Okay thank you. There is a mark on each cam gear that are similar, will try that when the kiddo take a nap and let you know what I find.

The timing belt keeps on snapping so I am having problems in the alignment.

Ok thank you very much I think I got it but it still running roughly and I am getting a misfire on cylinder 3. I have replaced the spark plugs, wires and coil pack. Still getting a misfire on cylinder 3. If it helps we noticed a valve cover leak when replacing the timing belt and idler rollers for the timing belt. The spark plug were just sitting in oil so we soaked up what we could pulled the spark plugs and let remaining oil drain over the pistons (yes I know it isn't the smartest thing to do but there was alot.). Then we left the plugs out and turned over the engine to blow any oil out the top. Any suggestions?

Try using a straight edge to the align pulleys and tensioners. I suggest using a kit for this when replacing belt.

Do a compression test and make sure that plug didn't get fouled by the oil.

How do I do the timing on the truck again with a diagram timing? I lost it.

Trying to get ahold of a tool to do compression test. While waiting on that I swapped 3rd plug for 1st plug. Checked all plugs, cleaned (weren't dirty) and reinstalled the plugs. Pulled the connector to coil pack tested with volt meter with ignition in the "ON" position read 12,0,.04,.04. Tested fuel pressure on fuel rail (40PSI not running, ignotion in on position.

Since I didn't have the cam gear locking tool when we set the timing I am also trying to locate one of those and setting the timing again to "BE SURE". Won't be able to do much until Monday so I will let you know what I find. Thanks!

There is too much to copy for this and this has a tsb that must be followed in order to properly align cams. Also this is an interference engine so check for bent valves as it may still not run after fixing it. I really suggest renting a manual so you can print the tsb steps out to do this work so it is done correctly. It can be rented from this site so you can print it out and have it available for a week.

The cam locking tool merely assists you in getting the belt on. If the belt is already on, then simply check the timing marks. The tool isn't needed unless you have to remove the belt all over again.

Online pages available for this type of manual?

They should be, but you have to follow the tsb to get it right some may not have the tsb in it.

This is for 3.5L V6 DOHC 6VE1DI
I bought new timing belt and new camshaft and I cannot find the specs anywhere. My goal is to find a diagram that show the marks on the cam and the crankshaft.
