NOW AVAILABLE! JHM DIY Timing Belt DVD and T-belt kits for 2.7T

[jaybquick@JHM]

After the success of our 01E trans rebuild DVD and Rebuild Kit we thought we would continue that success with a 2.7t and 2.8L V6 Timing Belt Kit DVD.

Here is a link to the feeler thread that started it all -> http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=214697


The DVD is free with one of our Timing Belt Kits, but can also be purchased separately if you just want the knowledge or to see if you think you can tackle the job.

DVD is 51 minutes in length and that whole 51 minutes is spent just doing the timing belt, water pump and thermostat. With lots of tips and tricks along the way and showing you how to do it without the expensive alignment bar or crank lock tool.


Check both the DVD and the Timing Belt Kit with the DVD out here in our new store --> http://www.jhmotorsports.com/shop/ca..._66_68_192_193

Mac guys can play the WMV by downloading Flip4Mac WMV 2.2.1.11.dmg from Microsoft or http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm.

Nice video, btw. Almost makes me want to tackle it myself... almost.

Here is a Question I was asked via email. So I thought I would share.

Jason,
I was wondering if you use OEM parts in your timing belt kit? Also,
does your video show anything as far as replacement of the cam and crank
seals? Lastly, i know it says the video shows you how to replace it
without the camlock bar, but does it give any info on how to do it with
the bar?

Answer I responded with:

They are all high quality after market German made replacements. Been running them on my car for 30k plus miles with tons of 7300 rpm abuse. My car is the test mule for my shop and most its miles are at the track or for R&D and around town.

VAST Performance has been using the same brands for a long time as well. The belts are both made by Continental. Same as the tires company that makes tires that are OE on Mercedes. Big brand overseas.

I do show how you would change the cam and cranks seals. I don't do the seal replacement but I show you how the tools connect and how you would get it apart with much detail. Basically a steering wheel and 2-jaw puller are all that are needed. I spend several minutes just showing this.

I also point out where the cam lock bar goes and make it clear on how it is used.

I have done hundreds of timing belts in my life on at least 50 different motors across many brands. So the info I give comes from that experience.

(NOTE: correction in the DVD, it is a 24mm 12 point socket for the crank bolt NOT a 25mm 12 point, we will update DVD soon)

Other than that the feedback is awesome.


Thanks to all who have purchased thus far.

[jaybquick@JHM]

UPDATE 2-13-09. We recently added extra footage to our DVD for use of the cam lock bar and crank lock pin, we also now offer a $40 rental cam lock bar and crank lock pin as well.

Thanks to all of the purchasers thus far.

I think this is something I can accomplish and will be purchasing a kit and video soon.

still nothing for a 4.2....blah! Someone needs to start selling the cam lock bar for us!!

We just got an in house 01 A6 4.2l V8 for R&D this week. We are now dedicating a lot of our efforts with the 4.2l V8 in the A6 and newer S4 since they are similar. We already have tuning and tip chips for better shifting. We are working on the following: Long tube headers, cat back exhaust, plate nitrous system between the head and intake, big brake kit-lightweight rotors and anything else we make for the B6/B7 S4 that works on the A6 4.2l. Hence we got the in house car to try out all the parts we make on it.

Unfortunately the car we have already had a fresh t-belt before we got it, but if we find a reason to tear into it, we will investigate the difficulty of modifying a 2.7t tool or making one.

Thanks and Dan @ JHM will be heading the A6 4.2l program up so feel free to PM him for the latest developments.


Thanks.

wow this is great news for the a6'ers. i knew you guys were doing the s4 stuff, didnt realize you kept the a6 in mind in the process . im sure there will be alot of people happy with your products

the 4.2 game is about to start my friend ;)

[xpl0sive]

i heard that the cam locking tool for the 2.7 works on the 4.2's... not sure if thats true, but something worth looking into

[jaybquick@JHM]

Basically anything we build for the B6/B7 S4 these days we are sticking it on Dan's car to confirm fitment. Most of the stuff is the same except that the B6/B7 S4 has a rear chain driven cam setup and the A6 has a front belt driven cam setup. We already know that our intake spacers fit. -> http://www.jhmotorsports.com/shop/ca...0c5c69776e85d0

If we have a need to pull Dan's front end of we will try out one of our 2.7t bars. In the meantime I will working on throwing a t-belt kit together for you guys. I show how in the 2.7t video how to do it without the cam lock bar. You are finw without it unless you do the cam seals.

[xpl0sive]

would the 4.2 kit cost about the same as the 2.7t kit?

[Dan@JHM]

would the 4.2 kit cost about the same as the 2.7t kit?

We will check our pricing on the parts but more then likely yes.

[Dan@JHM]

If there is a 4.2 a6 on here that is in need of a timing belt kit and wants to bring it to jhmotorsports in lathrop ca. we will be more then happy to make a 4.2 t-belt kit install video and cut them a great deal at the same time. Please pm me if your interested.

[autophiles]

Anything in the works for the 3.0? I will need a TB change soon.. and would rather do it my self if I can save some money.

Im a former Audi tech with 160k on my 4.2. If you need any help, feel free to ask . Im just here for the cam bar


btw, please do the t-stat in the video...its so much easier to do it then and not have to worry about it, and people will follow your lead.

[jaybquick@JHM]

Thanks for the heads up on this Dan.

would the 4.2 kit cost about the same as the 2.7t kit?

Here are the contents of the kit (The 4.2l requires more parts than a 2.7t to do it right)

- Timing Belt - Water Pump and Gasket - Thermostat and o-ring - Serpentine Belt - Hydraulic Tensioner - Tensioner Roller Assembly - Upper Idler Pulley -1 Lower Idler Pulley


Parts made by the following high quality companies- Water pump (Hepu or Meyle), Timing Belt and Serpentine Belt(Continental), tensioner(NTN), Rollers (INA), Thermostat(Behr).

Fitment is for all 4.2l V8s in the A6 from 1999 to 2004.

There is a vin split on one of the parts

Thru 2/01 (VIN 4B.1.105 000) the price is $450 (Early) 99-01

From 2/01 (VIN 4B.1.105 001) the price is $410 (Late) 01.5-04

RS6 only the price is $410 03-04

Add $17 if you want to replace the cam and crank seals. (makes the job more difficult if you don't have a way to lock the cams and or crank)

We will include our DVD for the 2.7t since the techniques, advice and pointers would be helpful with any timing belt job.

Anything in the works for the 3.0? I will need a TB change soon.. and would rather do it my self if I can save some money.

- Timing Belt - Water Pump and Gasket - Thermostat with New Housing and o-ring - Serpentine Belt - Hydraulic Tensioner - Tensioner Roller Assembly - Upper Idler Pulley -Lower Idler Pulley

Fitment is for all 3.0l V6s from 2002 to 2005 in A4s and A6s.

The price is $500


Add $30 if you want to replace the cam and crank seals. (makes the job more difficult if you don't have a way to lock the cams and or crank)

We will include our DVD for the 2.7t since the techniques, advice and pointers would be helpful with any timing belt job.

We have the t-stat done in the 2.7t video so we wouldn't have it any other way. There is way too much labor involved to not do it once you are already there.

how different 2.7 timing belt job different from 4.2?

[jaybquick@JHM]

how different 2.7 timing belt job different from 4.2?

The concepts are all the same but I would say that 75% of the video would be useful since all Audi motors are relatively similar.
