Sorry i know these are asked a lot but couldn't really find a definitive answer.
I posted this over on Nasioc but it's a little quiet over there so maybe some better luck here.
I just picked up a 97L today and it's going to need a timing belt change. Also is leaking some oil which isn't coming from the front... almost looks like the rear main seal.. . But in any case i plan to do the timing belt and front seals. Here's what i plan to replace:
Tbelt
Tensionser
idler
idler pulley
water pump
tstat and gasket
Front crank seal
Front cam seals
oil pump gaskets (need seal kit)
Does anybody happen to have the part numbers to the last 3 items? the seals and seal kit? Or can just tell me which number they are on the diagram?
Anything else i'm missing? Any other seals?? Not gonna do the valve cover gaskets if they aren't leaking.
Also, a few questions. The car is a 4EAT.
- Whats the trick to prevent the crank and cam sprocket from turning when trying to break the bolt, or when tightening it?
- How do i prevent the cams from turning when going to install the belt? Any risk of the small movements causing the valves to come into contact?
- Any special tools required (seal puller, etc) to pull or install the new seals? Are the seals gonna be difficult?
- Do i need to open up the oil pump to change the seals?
- This is my first timing belt job, i have the service manual so hope i don't screw it up.
