How do you replace a roller timing belt?
Step 9: Add a bolt on the roller timing belt tensioner. On the roller timing belt tensioner, there is a bolt hole that you can thread a 6mm bolt into (at least 60mm long). Add the bolt and it will push against the roller tensioner to hold its position. This will make pulling the pin easier to do later.
How does the timing belt work on an engine?
The timing belt is a rubber belt with small teeth which connects the crankshaft to the camshaft in order to control the ignition timing and cam timing for the engine. It makes sure that the engine’s valves open and close at the right time during the ignition cycle and ensures correct combustion in the engine.
When do you change your timing belt autodoc?
It depends a lot on the make of the car and the mileage driven. Often manufacturers will suggest both a mileage and time based change, depending on which comes first. The range varies a lot: some might suggest the belt is due to be changed after 50,000 whereas other companies might feel 100,000 miles is the limit.
What’s the cost of a new timing belt?
As we said, a timing belt is made from rubber. It’s meant to operate in the high temperatures of your engine, and of course it is a high-performance piece of equipment. Even though it’s just made of rubber, a new timing belt could cost you between $100 and $200 just for the part.
What should I do when my timing belt is removed?
Check to make sure that the motor is OFF, a lock-out/ tag-out procedure should be in place to prevent accidentally motor start-ups. Loosen motor mounting bolts. Move motor until existing timing belt is slack and can be removed without prying.
How do you tension a timing belt pulley?
Place the timing belt on each timing belt pulley and ensure proper engagement between the timing belt pulley and timing belt teeth. Lengthen the center distance or adjust the tensioning idler to remove any timing belt slack. Using a tape measure, measure the span length of the drive in inches. Refer to dimension “P” in the diagram above.

What kind of wrench do I need to replace timing belt?
The crankshaft pulley bolts are 10mm triple square. Almost all tensioners will need an allen wrench instead of the 2 pin spanner wrench. There is no need to remove the valve cover and there’s more room under the hood. If you have experience with ALH engine timing belts, this will be much easier.
