Parts for Timing belt replacement

[svxstarship]

Aside from the belt and a new water pump, what else should I get to do the job? Do I need new rollers and tensioner also. Thanks

Depends on the miles on the car and its age you can replace those too, but they are pricey. Normally those parts are pretty reliable though, not like the ones on our Alfas , where you need to replace waterpump, tensioner for every 75k and timing belt for every 35k .

Its good to replace the crank and cam seals and other seals. Depending on your calve covers, you may consider changing those seals at the same time (not necessary though) while you are there and also thermostat.

Thanks. I think I will give that ebay deal a try. Hope the quality is ok.

See this post (#9) for several helpful links.

See this thread for a tool that may work to remove the crankshaft pulley and camshaft sprockets: removing camshaft pulley

Since you're changing the water pump, it would be a good idea to replace the two small, L-shaped bypass hoses that attach to it, as well as the large upper and lower radiator hoses. A new radiator cap wouldn't hurt.

There is an L-shaped rubber seal that goes between the water pump and the oil pump. Mine broke up when I removed the water pump. It's cheap — under $3 — so I recommend going ahead and buying one.

Should go without saying, but you'll need the gasket for the water pump as well as the gasket for the thermostat.

On the thermostat, the side with the large spring points into the pump (it can fit in the wrong way). The little bobbling rivet goes in at the 12–O'clock position.

Bought a kit from them a couple of weeks ago. It looks like good stuff, comes with the t-belt, tenshioner pulleys and the waterpump. I'm waiting to install them after I pull the engine. I still need to get seals, t-stat and gaskets. Also the L shaped seal. I assume these are dealer items.
