Im doing the T-Belt this weekend and replacing the following

throwing in my 7a cams
Accessory Belt
Water Pump
Timing Belt

Thermostat Housing
Timing Chain
Timing Belt Roller
Water Temp Sensor
Cam Seal
Crank Seal

Cam Position Sensor
Accessory Belt Tentioner

just wondering if i should replace anything else while I have the front end torn apart! thanks for input in advance.

It's a timing belt, not a timing chain. Over kill on the accessory belt (serpentine belt) tensioner (unless the bearing is squealing (can be done separately) or the case is cracked = spring failure)

There is a timing chain. Keeps the timing on the two cams.

I think you have everything. Don't forget to tighten anything ; ) 3 bolts on the water pump and on both of the tensioner.

But the almost never wear. Over kill. (And he was right about "timing chain")

its timing chain, says so on the box sir. Since i am replacing the cams might as well do the chain. Im doing the tensioner because mine snapped due to bolts being not tight.

2nd. Overkill and useless for NO gains.

It can say whatever it wants, the AAN engine uses a timing BELT. not a chain......

Thats the obvious we are talking about the chain that turns the cams.

Well, if we're being obvious, perhaps we should refer to things by their proper designation. It's called a "drive chain" not a timing chain.
(cam chain works too...)
