Anyone ever done a timing belt on one of these (stupid question I'm sure)? I am looking into the service records and am not sure it has been done. I emailed the previous owner to see if they know. How much am i looking at to get one done if need be? Thanks again.

Jo, the link you posted for the timing belt replacement didn't work for me (maybe it's my work computer).

I am guessing that you are linking to Bart's timing belt replacement how-to. I followed that thing to the letter and had no problem replacing my timing belt. Like Billy said, it is a weekends worth of work (maybe a long day if you push it), but it really isn't that hard. The toughest thing for me was getting the nut off of the crank shaft pulley off. Used the ol' "rest the breaker bar against the frame and bump the starter" trick and it came right off.

Yea..its not working for me now either

It was a complete page of "Timing belt" threads from "Advanced" search engine....

....Including Barts write up.


Just tried to pull up Barts write up ... got an error page ??

BUT..if anyone needs it I'm sure if you e-mail Bart @ nfp@nofuture.com

...he'll send it

PM me your snail mail addy & I'll send you a DVD with my collection of maintenance files. It includes a pdf of the steps for timing belt replacement (with pixes) that I shamelessly stole from Bart's thread.

I ask for those receiving the DVD to make a site donation to help keep things rolling but it's not required ... just highly recommended.
