FEELER: JHM DIY Timing Belt Video for 2.7T

[jaybquick@JHM]

Hey guys, based on the success of the transmission rebuild video (1 hour and 47 minutes long) and being contacted by a fellow AZer I am seriously considering making this video.

So the plan would be to make a DIY Timing Belt video that would be free with the purchase of timing belt kit with all the normal goodies from JHM or be purchased separately for like $20.

Just wanted to see the interest in something like this being that it will be a lengthy video and time consuming to make. (Trans video took 6 hours to shoot, but 40 hours to edit and put together.)


Thanks guys.


If you are not familiar with my videos, check them out here --> http://jhmotorsports.com/videos



P.S. I would show you how to do it WITHOUT the alignment bar or crank stop. I have done plenty without one with no problem.

[DefiantS4]

Do it!
My first timing belt job had a few snags that could've easily been avoided had I known the right tricks in advance. If it's anywhere near as good as your trans rebuild video, it'll be well worth it.

[Overboostin]

Definitely. My timing belts coming up; perfect timing.

might as well do a engine pull vid

I totally second that. I have a copy of the Audi engine pull video, but it's pretty crappy because it doesn't show too many details.

I say the more videos, the better. I appreciate everything new for this old car...especially DIY.

You are a saint to the Audi community, We are really lucky to have someone like you... Even though most things you offer are centered around the S4 you still do great work for the community Keep it up

i think engine pull video too.

[Diavan]

I wonder why would someone vote a no for this poll!!

[AMC]

that a boy jay!!! and yes do it

[lsc2g]

[Rajan147]

[hachirokukid]

Definitely. My timing belts coming up; perfect timing.

Just need to find a local guy who needs a belt done. (don't do a lot of maintenance work, generally do larger builds and R&D products.) But this is a product.

Actually that may occur first, I have a K04 swap job lined up from mid July if all goes well.

I wonder why would someone vote a no for this poll!!

Probably so you could comment and so everyone could giggle. it made me laugh. That is why I put up a poll, since i knew someone would say no. Also I made the poll public. So click the count number and you can see who. HAHA.

that a boy jay!!! and yes do it

Sounds like a plan then.

Thanks man. Yeah once I got the S4 thing on lock down I will move to other platforms. Just introduced a rebuild kit for the 5 speeds as a feeler. So when I see interest I will make a push for more 1.8T stuff. I also plan on getting back to my V8 roots (from my mustnag days) and get a 4.2l car. Heck if a local 1.8T guy needed a t-belt done I could make that video no problem. The big reason the 2.7t is so great for me to do vids on though is the fact that everything is more complicated to do and the market is starting to see more DIYers now that the prices of the cars are in the sub 15k range.

yes plz

Thanks

Will do.

where do i pay..ill buy it now!!!

Haha. I am seeing a trend. Maybe I can just do videos all day long.

[Sniper512]

Sold. You should add a locker bar in with it too lol I need one of those too.

[Unispeed]

I agree with the KO4 swap video... and dont worry about the lengh... make it as long as it needs to be and show every single step. That would probably the best video yet. And for the real DIY, you should document the swap on jack stands cause lets face it, thats how most of us will end up doing the swap. A lift is a luxury we dont all have. If you did get a video like that done you could sell it for some serius money and I bet you'd still have tons of people buying it.

[Rapter]

F@CK YEA!!!! Both the Timing belt and KO4 swap would be a great help and addition to your collection. I'm new to the S world and currently having my mechanic do this as well as some other things(wish this were around now ). I have no problems getting my hands dirty, but at the same time don't want to mess things up even more in the process. I'm more of a visual person so this would be terrific where I can probably save a good amount of money on labor. I'm on the fence on if I want a SS kit, but I can guarantee you that if I do end up getting one it will be from JHM. Not only because it seems to be the best one around, but a big reason is because of the video/support you offer. Offering videos with the parts sweetens the deal much more. For me I'm ok with paying a little more if you're going to show me the way.

[01 S4]

im going to want one of these too my TB is coming due this summer

[beans912]

You guys might be interested in this, apparently it is a VHS on how to pull a 2.7tt, but it is only 25 mins. long.


Not mine, dont know the seller.

[rharris]

H5LL Yea! I love it. JBQ your doing good things for Audi Enthusiasts.

First, a Tranny rebuild video, then a Timing Belt and K04 swap video.

Sign me up for the JHM Technical Training Institute(JHMTTI).

Why purchase a used 01E for $3500.00 when JHMTTI will show you how to rebuild your own for less?

I love it... The Democratization of Audi Information and Education!

this video sucks... it isnt a comprehensive video like JHM vids are. its circulating around here, you can also prob find it a torrent of it somewhere.

engine pull video, timing belt video would be sweet. u might as well make a video for every job you do! id like an engine rebuild video and machining heads video plz

[drkenan]

Not only would I buy that right now I'd pay way more than $20 for it! I would definitely buy a TB kit from you too!

PLEASE make this video (before this fall if possible)...

[Tokin]

I'd be down

[Sniper512]

Haha I just read your whole post lol. I guess if you show us the no bar trick I won't need a bar.

[jmon207]

I'm sold too. I really want to turn all my own on this project. I'm intrested in your downpipes and T.T. borola exhaust too. Start taking my money please.

[infinkc]

if you need a car for the k04 swap i have mine and ko4s sitting, was going to diy when i had time but if you want to work something out im open to anything.

[code7rpd]

I think that this would be a great idea!

[ThirdStrike]

voted yes.
id think 10 bucks +shipping is more reasonable for the separate purchas tho

[2ndEngineS4]

No, Jason, you can't have any more of my money. . . . .






. . .this month.

[audigeorge]

of course do it...This a great and long overdue product needed by the DIY community.

[lsc2g]

agreed! i'm doing my own timing belt right away once i build a deck for my house haha.. i'm not paying a shop 1000 bucks for something i can do myself on a weekend i have all the tools already other than the lock bar/pin

[jaybquick@JHM]

WOW guys. Looks like I need to plan on doing this. I should have a K04 job coming up in Mid July and don't have a t-belt job lined up at the moment being that most of my time is spent with large projects and product development.

I may get slowed down as well since I will be on vacation from June 29th through July 8th. So doing anything before I go will be tough.



So.....Anyone in the Sac, Central Valley or Bay Area needing a timing belt job done???



P.S. With crooks like that willing to rip off Audi on Ebay I am currently applying for a copyright on my trans video and will be doing that on my others as well.

[jaybquick@JHM]

Started a thread in my local forum to look for a volunteer on the T-belt job.

[xx_s4quattro_xx]

thats not a bad idea.

[96A4FwdJimmy]

So will you do engine pull video after you have done the timing belt video?
If you will, I will wait for you.

[SoEvoL]

you should do it, why not have a video how-to-do so ppl can save some money.

you should re-encode all your video with a corner watermark/logo and have one hidden somewhere kinda transparent. keeps most guys away, unless they like cropping half a video

[jaybquick@JHM]

Yup, got a couple guys that responded. Hopefully I can get one in soon.

I think I got a K04 job lined up for mid to early July I can do it on.

Yup. Just hope I can protect it and don't get ripped off. If that happens I will probably stop the whole video thing since it is extremely time consuming.

Yeah, still working on teaching myself more and more video crap.

[jaybquick@JHM]

Update. I got some people lined up and a couple motor swaps coming in soon. So both vids should be doable

However even once I make the darn thing I need to set aside the time to put it all together, usually 40 to 60 hours. Which right now I can't even answer my phone or respond to emails in a timely manner. So realistically this project should hopefully be done by the end of summer.




Thanks again for everyones responses and I will do all I can to stuff this in with all that I got going on.

[NogaroSB]

I'm due for a timing belt job and am semi-local to you.

Shoot me a PM if I can help!

[b5s4tt]

id buy it.
