just remembered another way tot change the belt that I searched for or was told about on the old board.


cut just the front half of the old belt off, so that some of the belt is left to hold the cams and the timing. then slide the new belt on and cut the rest of the old belt off and then finish installing the new belt


that won't work....especially when you replace the tenisoner, pulley, and W/P.



Which would be proper maintenance. And any car can come outta time and proper maintenance would be to check to make sure it's in time. It doesn't take all that much longer, so unless you're really lazy, there is no reason not to.
