Montero Sport Timing Belt Replacement

[monty_GTV]

oo nga bro. original plan ko actually paabutin ko 100k kms kasi iyon ginawa ko dati sa good old ek ko. but all vehicles and their maintenance protocols aren't the same ika nga.

tama lang bro na nagpalit ka na. very risky na paabutin sa certain mileage at once na maputulan, mas malaking aberya. it recently happened sa unit ko late last year and i paid the heavy price. and reminder kapag bigla huminto at namatay ang makina, DO NOT try hard to start the engine back to life, check muna if its timing belt or other parts ang problema. cranking the engine over repeatedly will damaged other parts like rocker arms and worst, baluktot ang mga valves. its my wife that driving the car that time and of course, nung huminto at tumirik, tendency pinilit na paandarin. its only when a mechanic came and check na putol ang belt. too late, marami ng piyesa ang nadamay[emoji25]

As a safe practice, whether you have an interference engine (where the valves and piston occupy the same space at different times) or not, you want to change timing belts before the manufacturers scheduled time. If they say replace every 75k km, replace it at 65k. Given our local traffic conditions where you spend more time idling in traffic than turning the wheels/odometer, better to change earlier. If you think a TB change is expensive and time consuming, try an engine overhaul or an engine swap.

I've been advised even timing chains aren't "forever".

True, tensioner usually go 1st. There will be signs & noises prior....unlike belts. And I dislike wearing belts.[emoji4]
