You need 2 idler pulleys (though only one of them seems to get worn, other seems to stay good), tensioner, and belt, might as well do water pump, and serpentine belt and any associated pulleys that seem to be on the way out. Also add an UDP if you're into performance... It's a heck of a job though, so be ready. 2 parts you'll won't find on fpo are following, but call them and they can get you these parts: W700001-S1309 F5RZ-6L273-A Two small parts that hook onto the tensioner when you put it on. Get a haynes manual and you'll see. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

OK so you are telling me that an interferance design would have no problems 99% of the time how much experieance do you have in mechanical design??? how tight are tolerances on internal engine parts??? do you have the slights clue what is ment be INTERFERANCE? well I do interfearnce design engine means each and EVERY time you snap a belt you need to replace internals. on an interference engine if timing is off by even a small amount it would cause danage to the valves and pistons. snap a belt and say good bye to the valve rods pistions and in worse cases the head as parts tend to get wedged into the cylinder walls. 2003 Subaru WRX some mods Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem. aka ZetecRacing
