timing parts

[xcracer411]

Need to know all the parts I need for a timing belt change

[FestYboy]

belt, tentioner pulley, water pump, copper gasket spray for water pump gasket, cam and crank seals (1 each). 21,17, 12, and 10 mm sockets/wrenches. search for "replace water pump" under my name and you should find a "how to" in one of the threads.

timing belt

Yes, all you need is the timing belt. I think someone is suggesting you replace some other parts while you have the belt and cover off the car. I just replaced the belt on mine.

ain't nothin wrong with that

Unless you like replacing things that aren't broke, just do the belt.

All you really need is a timing belt - BUT while you are at it you should check the tensioner (it should be nice and smoooth - if the bearing has any funny feeling replace it) - Same for the water pump (make sure there is no play and if you see any indication of a leakage in the weep hole- change it). If you see iindication of any oil seepage arounf the cam or crank pulley now is the time to change those seals. If they aren't showing any problems, LEAVE THEM ALONE! You may also want to replae the timing cover seals, although I usually just goop them up with gasket silicone in the areas that may be starting to fail. That's my 2 cents worth - Good Luck!
