Default RE: timing belt

When you change the T belt - change the other belts and the water pump at the same time
Get a good quality pump
I had 2 replacements leak
Yep - I have done the job 3 times
It will take every bit of 4 plus hours
not easy
The instructions above are perfect
you will need an allen wrench to pull back the tensioner
I did not replace it
last time I looked - it was over 200.00 for the tensioner from the OEM

Auto Trans - I change every 30k
Coolant - I change every other year
Oil and Filter - every 5k - i use a SRT turbo filter - longer - more filter media
