 Do you have a single overhead or double overhead engine?

double overhead engine?

 OK, from everything I can gather here you have the VQ30DE engine. That's the only one that gets involved with the timing chain to access the water pump. Here are the instructions for removing the cover on theat engine. I hope this helps you. Please click on the ACCEPT button after viewing.

VQ30DE Engine

See Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4

The engine mount on the front (passenger side) of the engine and the lower and upper oil pans must be removed to remove the timing chain cover. Refer to the Oil Pan Procedure and the Timing Chain procedure for more information.

1. Raise and safely support the front of the vehicle securely on jackstands.

2. Drain the engine oil and coolant from the engine.

3. Remove the splash shields from under the vehicle.

4. Remove the drive belts and the idler pulley bracket.

5. Remove the power steering pump.

6. Remove the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors.

7. Remove the intake manifold collector.

8. Remove the crankshaft damper.

9. Remove the air conditioning compressor and bracket. Use safety wire to support it while it is unbolted from the engine.

13. Using the notch on the top of the timing chain case, insert a suitable tool and carefully separate the front timing chain cover from the rear cover.

14. Using a small prybar, pry the oil seal from the timing chain cover; be careful not to scratch the timing chain cover sealing surface.

15. Using a new oil seal, lubricate it with engine oil and press it into the timing chain cover so the seal is flush with the cover surface. Be sure to apply a small amount of grease to the inner lip of the seal upon installation of the cover.

To install:

16. Clean the gasket material from the front and rear timing chain cases, including the bolt holes.

17. Apply liquid gasket to the timing chain cover.

18. Following the tightening sequence shown in the illustration, tighten the timing chain cover bolts to the specified torque.

power steering pump

1. Loosen the adjustment bolt locknut.

2. Loosen the pump pivot bolt.

3. Turn the adjustment bolt to change the belt tension.

4. After adjustment is satisfactory, tighten the adjustment bolt locknut and the pump pivot bolt.

5. Check that the tension has not changed.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

See Figures 15 and 16

The replacement of the inner belt on multi-belted engines may require the removal of the outer belts.

To replace a drive belt, loosen the adjusting and mounting bolts of the component which the belt is driving. Move the component inward to relieve the tension on the drive belt.

Fig. 15: After the tension on the belt is relieved, slip the belt from the pulley

Fig. 16: The replacement of some belts may require the removal of other belts

Slip the belt off the component pulley and match the new belt with the old belt for length and width. The old belt will be slightly longer. After a new belt is installed correctly, adjust the tension.

When replacing more than 1 belt, it is a good idea to make note or mark what belt goes around what pulley; this will make installation easier if you mix up the belts.

hi this harder than i thought it would be. where chow far can the spring and matel pice on the tenisoner drop i toke all the belt off and got the point where im about to say the hell with the engine andbuy a new one. where could the part be at

 It could be caught on any numbert of components on the way down. You've really go a mess there.

this is like the third time in 6 month that it had to be replace.the first time i change it with no problem the second time i had a shop replace.when i went by the shop to check on the progress. here i am next to the car look at the repair man reading my repair book trying to figure out how to replace my water pump and next to him was the hold side of my engine he took everything off be side the cover I had to explan and show him how to replace it and they still charge me $500 for the work . but anyway do ou know any easyer way to locate and recover the part instead of removing the engine cover

 The only thing that could help you is if the part can be grabbed with a magnet and judging by the pictures, I doubt that. If he is the one that dropped the part, he would be responsible for retreiving it.
