Timing belt intervals
Posted: Wed Nov 18, 2015 3:22 am
So just telling ya know how far I pushed my timing gear parts.
Cars done 270k. First replaced belt only at 140000kms. Noticed the idler pulley had play in it. Left it.
Water pump went at 170000kms. Did not replace belt. Idlers play still same. Replaced at 270000kms with new kit, old belt looked new still, idler same amount of play!
I reckon a belt change takes me 2 hours now as my most annoying bit is holding the cams but I have cam holders and this! Best tool ever!
