| Post subject: | Timing Belt |
My water pump is spitting out coolant. so time to replace that crap, why not replace the whole timing belt components as well. Haven't done it before so hopefully i don't F*** Up lol. any suggestions i'm looking into extermepsi for their timing belt kit for $250 plus a gate water pump for $55 i really don't want to buy that tensioner tool so if someone has one that i can borrow that would be great. so much for my coilovers all the money is going to this crap |

i would suggest an oem water pump...my mechanics have told me to use an oem water pump instead of the "racing" water pump... |

i read online that gates makes the oem water pump for Mitsubishi. so the gates water pump should be similar since they are from the same manufacturer |

so why is the OEM pump from the dealership or the vendors price is $160 while the brand name gates pump $60. is it because its a generic brand but same manufacturer. |

Just make sure before you start the enging to get an 1/2" socket wench and rotate the crank a few times past TDC just to be safe and after make sure your back at TDC and everything looks just how you put it together. hopefully dont have balance shafts. and if you a running big HP who cares about the brand. Me i like to use what works. dont forget about crankseal and cam seals cause that would suck if they started leaking a week after you put it together. |

The OEM pump is made by a japanese company, not gates. However i have used aftermarket water pumps with success. As far as the belts go and the rest of the timing components i only go OEM. Gus |

finally got my timing belt kit from stm they said all i need to do this job is a snapper wrench i pretty much have read vfaq over and over again. from my knowledge put align all marks so piston #1 is on TDC (which is pretty easy, the 6th revolution lined up everything) now my question is since im putting a new auto tensioner do i really need that rod tool to compress my old auto tensioner. some one told me that the proper tension on our cars is that you should be able to put back the grenade pin on the auto tensioner once you have set the right tension on the pulley. so what i'm about to do is just unbolt the auto tensioner without compressing the rod because its junk anyways, this way all the slack is there to remove the tbelt. remove the old tensioner pulley replace my water pump put the new pump bolt up the new tensioner pulley (but not tightened) bolt up the new auto tensioner put the new tbelt mark sure everything is lined up and adjust the tensioner pulley exactly to how my old pulley was and just release the grenade pin off the auto tensioner??? (this is where i'm in doubt) http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/bolt-te ... ement.html found my answer. right? |

Correct me if am wrong someone... But Im sure your right when the Pin goes back into the auto tensioner... Its the tensioner pulley wich is supposed to set the tension, And if am correct the auto tensioner is there more as a back up for if the tensioner pulley loosen's tension.. So yea am sure that the correct way if the grenade pin should go back in smoothly the same way it came out.... |
