So during the fall, i started getting extremely high heats. I narrowed it down to my hg....
Now the cool thing about the hg, is when you are replacing it, you might as well replace everything else!!!
Now Im poor as shit, and trying to get my budget build together consisting of a head up gasket kit, arp headstuds, and a new timing belt.
Buuuuutt whats the point on only doing that when every other component of your timing belt can still fail. So then you have to do the other serpentine belts, tensioners, pullies, waterpump, and you get an awesome price that I cant afford....
So in all seriousness.... can i get away with just my gaskets headstuds and timing belt with a least some success or is that just a terrible idea..?
Car has less then 105k and timing belt has already been replaced before.
I know most of the answers are going to be opinions because you dont know the condition of my parts but I'm stuck against the wall just looking for some input. How often do belt fail because of other components besides the old timing belt?
