Need help on my engine!

[sapper12b]

I live in Ft. Leonard Wood and I need some help or willing to pay someone depending on the price to do a timing belt replacement for me, also might as well do the balance shaft belt while I am at it. Anyone near me willing to do the job or help me out, or recommend someone. I live on base and cannot work on my vehicle in my driveway.

well hello brother in arms, good to see a fellow SAPPER. lets see if we can fix your problem
do you have a hobby shop at Lenordwood? if not any shop nearby can change it out for you.

I do have a auto shop here on post, they dont do timing belts, i can take it to a local shop but im kind of wanting to get the knowledge, timing is one thing im not sure about. Sappers first!!

welp first things first need to get yourself a chiltons, or a hynes service manual. doing a timing belt is fairly simple. at first confusing but you'll get the hang of it. a good idea is buy the cam lock tool that locks the cams in place and the tensioner tool. both good investment that makes the job much easier. you dont have to have these special tools to actually do a proper timing job but does help.

that hobby shop dont they have rentable bay's and rentable tools? if not you can change a timing belt in a parking lot if you absolutely have to. just need basic tools. and a service manual.
