alright guys im changing my timing belt on my 4g63 na its outa the car this is my first timing belt

soo i need timing belt timing belt tensionioer and what else?

then i have to zero out the motor an like up the cam gear marks and go right
 
Timing belt, balance shaft belt (if used), tensioner pulley, idler pulley (if needed), hydraulic tensioner, water pump, cam + crank seals (if needed, I usually do them while I'm in there).

Start with the timing belt on the intake cam, line up the marks with the head, rotate the exhaust cam clockwise with a wrench and line up the marks while putting the timing belt on the exhaust cam gear. I use zipties to keep them in place at this point. Then I go around the idler pulley, line up the oil pump gear and place the belt around it, same with the crank sprocket, then the only thing left is the tensioner pulley. You'll want to use blue loctite on the bolt and have the pulley in place but loose, then run the belt over it. Use the tensioner tool or snap ring pliers to tension the pulley, torque the bolt to 43ft/lbs. Obviously don't forget the hydraulic tensioner needs to be in place before you do this. At this point everything should be tight and you can rotate the motor by hand to make sure it's all good. Then, pull the grenade pin out of the tensioner. If it's done right, you should be able to stick it right back in.

Hope that helps.
