Timing belt change.

[PearlSweatshirt]

Okay so I want to change my timing belt. And I'm sorry if this has already been graveyarded. But Iam going to buy the kit off extreme psi with a gates timing belt, oem tensioner, oem idler, gates water pump, and a bs delete. Is there anything else I should get like tools wise? Or any other accessory pulleys while I'm at it?

Impact power tools for the crankshaft sprocket. a good puller too. A Eccentric timing belt tensionor tool and the other tool I forgot what it was called here's the part numbers md998738, md998767 just Google the Pns

I would consider the seals on that side of the motor. The cam seals, crank, and oil pump if you are completing the BS delete.

The balance shaft delete is going to be a b****. I'd recommend pulling the engine, you have to drop it pretty far either way just to get the balance shafts out. Also timing job is something you don't want to screw up and being your first I assume you are going to get pretty frustrated with the amount of room you have to work with. But that's just my two cents, It's all possible to do it without removing the engine.

The In car BSE, would the simplest way to go, no need to flip the front bearings. you leave the front shaft in, and just leave the front BS belt off, the front gear and spacer will still need to be installed, but it is just along for the ride.

You still have to pull the front case and install the grooved stubby shaft or race shaft in the rear.

I will definitely look into those. Thanks.

Being that it is my first timing belt change. And Idk exactly how the bse works. Can someone link me the install of that please?

If your engine runs fine, I would not bother eliminating the balance shafts. I would only consider the BSE if I was rebuilding the motor. There is a large amount of work to perform the BSE. You will find a difference of opinion on this matter. Many delete it to get rid of one more belt. If you are good at routine maintenance and the proper installation procedure for the timing and balance shaft belts with quality replacements, there is little fear of it snapping. There are no real performance gains from doing this job.

Here's my old balance shaft belt more of a reason to delete it

(We just put a new one in after btw)

Yah on second thought I may just replace the belt. Although I have a slight concept on the timing. I'm still kinda if-y on it. But I feel confident enough. And with the help of my buddy (whose a good all around mechanic) and install guides I should get the job done properly

Infrequent maintenance or cheap parts will do that. That is one additional reason to change seals. The belts degrade when exposed to oil and/or time.

This belt was in use from 165000 -240000 and that was done in 2008 by the previous owner should have replaced it when I bought the car but at least it didn't snap and seals were not leaking. time just ate her away I guess
