Timing Belt Replacement. What Other Parts?

[landtoy80]

I have a belt and cam seals.
What other parts should I replace while in there? Front main seal, internal t-belt parts, water pump???


Tools I will need to get torque wrench and chain wrench. I have a puller and can rent one if mine doesn't work from parts store.

Tensioner and Spring and Front Seals.

Really important is no more than 36 ft/lbs on the Tensioner bolt.

And be careful NOT to mark any of the arms on the AUX shaft pully.

What is AUX and what are the arms and how would I mark them up?

It's the Oil pump drive pully, You need to remove it to change it's seal, If you do it with the Belt in place it's no problem as it's not a high torque setting.

A lot of people jam a wrench/screwdriver in to stop it turning and mark up it's arms this leads to failure of the pully.

yep I agree with IJ. be carefull with your cover as its old and will crack VERY easily.

kinda out of the way but replace the thermostat and make sure its facing the right way.

I'd replace the water pump before you install a new timing belt.

When you pull the water pump, coolant will gush all over the timing belt covers. There is a seal on the top and sides of the plastic cover, but where the plastic and aluminum covers meet, it will seep into. And we all know coolant on timing belt = bad.
