To do list when replacing timing belt
 

I've been searching for a "do all" list here when replacing the timing belt, and can't find one.

Actually I think I have a cam seal leak, and the timing belt is a "While 'they' are in there... thing.

Is there a list anywhere that tells all the things to do while the front end of the engine is open? Like water pump, cam seals, etc., etc. ?

Water pump
Thermostat
both cam seals
crank seal
replace any timing belt idlers that aren't silent when you spin them.


Hope that helps...

I'd add that little thermostat bypass hose (or whatever it's properly called) to Huck's list.

Thanks guys. :)

I'm going to do a search on the bypass hose. I missed that one.

cam caps. I think 40% of oil leaks up front are caused by the caps that seal off the intake cams(top ones) There a black caps... nothing special but it makes a big difference

Is this the same as a cam seal?

Nope, the lower cams have a seal, but the top cams have a cap, as they don't protrude out the front of the head....I've never replaced them on an EG33 but it wouldn't be a bad ideal, I'd think they'd only cost 5-10 each....
