I can't belive I broke a timing belt!!!!
How much trouble am I in? When I tore it down I found ALL of the idler pulleys had seized and/or lost all of the ball bearings. I'm a former auto machinist and can do the valves if I need to but I'm not really looking forward to going that deep into the engine.sooo....... my question is are they notorious for bending valves?
as a footnote, I do perform my maintanance and such but the car had set for three years before I bought it and had low miles on a dealer installed engine. Don't think bad of me, please. It's just slipped by me. It's a '94 awd with the 3.0 |
The EG33 is non-interference. You're fine. :)

No Problem

My daughter with no mechanic experience did her timing belt with a set of manuals and some telephone instructions, so it should not be a problem for a mechanic. Lee |
^^that sounds like a challenge to me! ;)

Check the water pump too.....
|
For the $50-75 that a waterpump costs, and the PITA it is to get to, it makes sense to me to slap one on while you're in there.
|
Definitely do the water pump while you are in there for preventative maintenance. ;)

That's rought, timing belts are pretty strong. I used one to lift a complete EJ25 with 4EAT attached today...

Hmm...all the idlers seized up..Thatll ruin a belt easy.
luckily, the eg33 is a non interference engine. Your valves are fine. Just order up the idlers, belt, and water pump.There is a kit available on ebay with all of theese components that we have used with great sucess .you may want to look into getting a front main seal and lower cam seals as well, since everything wil be apart anyway, replacing these isnt a bad idea, as they often leak at this age. |
