    Default timing belt change

    Originally posted this in the regional forums but no reply... I want to change my timing belt but I would like some assistance. I have found some diagrams on the net from the toyota manual but I would really like a hand!

    Car - ae86

    motor - smallport 4age

    problem - old timing belt

    occurs/started when - of late

    personal situation - uni makes me too poor to pay a mechanic

    I tried searching the forum but no luck. Even some advice from the guys that have done it would be great!

    yer its a pretty easy job, especailly on the 4a since its not interference you dont have to be as careful with the cams/crank. can spin them all you want.

    as i type im 90% through changing the water pump, which is a tad more work than timing belt, but doesnt require taking off the harmonic balancer. and including taking out the radiator and flushing it ive been working for less than 1hr...oh how i love working on RWD engines.

    oh yer make sure you have a harmonic balancer puller, cheap as from supercheap, its almost essential. i tried to get mine off with a number of methods. but 10secs with a puller and its off!

    after you get the hamonic balancer off timing belt is a breeze of a job.

    ahhh how much did you want...? i really have very little money! the only thing ill need to get his the harmonic balancer puller.

    also does this look right for replacing the oil pump gasket?
