Timing Belt Change?

[Ry_Tower]

try refraining from using the mileage as a basis of timing belt replacement. manila is considered extreme extreme or major major driving conditions with all the traffic jams, stop and go, start and turn off duty cycles. if the car is stuck in traffic, the odometer does not count the mileage but the engine's timing belt is incurring hours of use. when you replace the timing belt, it is customary to replace the idler, tensioner pulley, camshaft seal/s, oil pump seal (if applicable) if it has overhead cams, front crankshaft seal and as a recommendation, replace the water pump too since the front of the engine is already open and it requires less time to do all these than piece by piece. these are called MAW (might as well) parts.

True na dapat 'wag na hinayin yung 100K odometer reading bago magpalit. Kaya nga common sinasabi sa timing belts ay mga 80K-90K palitan na agad para may safe clearance pa talaga.

For the MAW tama rin si sir jick. Sabay na dapat yan para isang gawaan at mas malaki chance na 80K-90K ka na uli magpapalit ng mga yan.
