timing belt cover

mustg5 · Feb 1, 2004

i have the lower timing belt cover on, how important you think it is to have the whole timing assembly covered. Can it go without?

you can but I wouldnt recommend it. Dirt and dust will get into areas and cause wear on the timing belt. I would keep it on. engineers put stuff on for a reason... sometimes

If you have to lower one on then the upper one goes one with like 3 bolts. If takes like 45 sec.

If you toss a pebble about the size of a BB up into the belt, your chances of skipping a tooth are fairly high.

Do ya feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Get the cover back on.
