Recommended Parts

RECOMMENDED PARTS
- New Timing Belt - Compare length, width, and shape of teeth to the old belt. They should match exactly.

OPTIONAL, PENDING INSPECTION
- Water Pump - Replacing the water pump requires removing the timing belt. A thorough examination of the water pump while the timing belt is removed is highly recommended.
- Drive Belts - Drive belt removal is required to access the timing belt.
- Camshaft and Crankshaft Seals - These seals are located behind the timing belt gears. Leakage from these seals can rapidly deteriorate a new timing belt.

NOTE: The crankshaft bolt is a "stretch" type bolt and should always be replaced if removed for crankshaft oil seal replacement.
