Your timing belt has been completed and you can now go now travel another 105k miles or 105 months till your next replacement. Now you can double check all your belt markings, making sure they line up with your crank pulley and cam gear markings. Remember that if you need to spin the cams back in place you spin them the correct orientation to keep from bending valves. If you are having trouble with aligning your driver’s side cams you can use either the Company 23 camlock tool or if you have a friend or multiple arms you can hold it with the cam holder(s) to keep them from spinning. Lastly adding the lower passenger idler pulley to complete everything, it was the first pulley you removed and therefore the last to install. Up to the driver’s intake cam gear under the small idler pulley to the tensioner. Next you will head from lower passenger cam gear then to the cog pulley around the water pump and to the driver’s side exhaust gear. ![]() I start at the crank pulley, then head towards the intake passenger cam gear then down to the exhaust. The belt is labeled for the direction it spins, which is clockwise, so double check your belt before threading it through the pulleys. Then move on to the more on to the specialty tools that may no be a hundred percent needed but making this just less stressful and easier i the name of the game, in my mind. We will start with the typical hand tools and sockets that are necessary. If this is your very first belt but would put it closer to 3-4 hours, as slow and steady isn’t bad when it comes to the reliability and safety of your engine. With the proper tools and know how I would block off two plus hours. If this is your first attempt I would stress taking your time and doing it right, to keep oneself from repeating it soon or making an engine damaging mistake. ![]() Keep this in mind when undertaking this project. There are many times where if the proper steps are not taken you can easily damage yourself or engine. If this is your first timing belt please read through the entire how to before starting your own project. This is a more precise and detail oriented job. Both of my cars are equipped with Gates belts, idlers and tensioner with ideal operation for over twelve years with both vehicles combined. It comes down to what you feel is best for your vehicle. This is to your discretion but I have witnessed many Gates and Oem timing belt kit installs, alongside just replacing the belt without the pulleys. There are many schools of thought about the above parts, whether changing just the timing belt is sufficient or replacing every pulley and part on each timing belt replacement… and what brands to use.
