Timing Belt Help
Most of you know by now that I am trying to restore my venge. I bought it knowing it would need work. I was replacing the valve cover gaskets today and inspected the timing belt. It is in fair condition and I will try to change it in the next month if possible. Should I change all tensioners and the water pump while I am changing the belt? Is the hydraulic tensioner reusable or disposable?

Thanks, I was afraid you were going to say that. I will save for the full kit. My venge has 132,000 miles. Could that be the original belt? It doesn't look like it will fail next week, but I fear it will fail in six months to a year. How do you adjust the tensioner with the off-center hole and two small holes?

It's a 100k belt so if it is original your on borrowed time ...
