Right side engine mount removal?
90 Lexus 2vz 2.5L Auto trans.
I'm needing to pull my water pump. I'm trying to get the engine mount bracket that bolts to the right side of the engine out. The one that covers the water pump. I jack the engine up..no room. I lower the engine down..no room. WTF? Am I holding my ears wrong? I picked the wrong time to quit huffin glue.
And check this out. I was initially going to pull the whole timing belt out. Idlers are squalling I think. Want to change the oil pump gasket/seals and stop those obligatory oil leaks. Anyhow. I set the crank on tdc, mark the pully and 0. Both upper cam marks are lined up, so I mark them and the belt where it is on top of each mark. Then I rotate the engine to check something out. When I try to re-align all these marks.....it won't happen. I mean the crank will line with the 0 and the cam marks will line with the marks on the belt cover..but the original marks I put on the timing belt will NOT line up no matter how many time I turn it. NORMAL? I picked the wrong time to quit smoking.
