One quick tip: Some older vehicles use the timing belt to drive things like the oil pump and water pump. On some older vehicles, like the older Hondas, it was also a wise idea to change the water pumps when you did the belt since the belt drove the water pump, and the pump itself is only about $100, but the labor to replace it (and the belt basically, because you have to take off the belt to remove the pump) is where much of that cost comes from (as I think it's about a 3-4 hour job on a 1990's era Civic at least). So check and see if that stuff is recommended (I always had my water pumps replaced when the belts were changed so I wouldn't have to worry about the pump going out between belt changes on my Civic).

Had a vehicle towed in with a timing belt that snapped while driving. While pulling it out there were all these perpendicular discolorations along the cracks... Turns out this customer was told to replace his cracking timing belt and he decided to "fix" the belt with superglue.... The glue actually deteriorated the rubber belt more! Now instead of replacing the timing belt he has to replace the engine!

It is essential to change the timing chain and components on GM’s supercharged LSJ engines. They are known to go bad, the OE hydraulic tensioner had issues. If you don’t change the tensioner early enough, the chain can jump timing and this is an interference engine and you will bend valves and damage pistons.

People outright denouncing timing belts are clueless, it's just more preventative maintenance. The first gen Tundra's use a timing belt, change every 90kmiles or every 7 years, my tundra has 270k miles on it, that's 2 belts. If you can't have preventative changes done to your vehicle twice over the course of 20 years, doesn't matter if you have a chain or not, you probably don't have enough awareness to make a vehicle last that long anyways.

@540iadicted 2 года назад

An interference engine has a piston and intake/exhaust valves that occupy the same space at different times during the combustion cycle, so if a timing chain or belt broke and allowed the valves to hang open, they would be in the way and get hit by the pistons. A non-interference engine has pistons and valves that do not use the same space, so the pistons and valves would not collide.

My 2011 dodge avenger I bought new and it’s up to 250k miles, and still in great shape. I take good care of it. I use quality Oil filters, never the cheapest. I mostly rely on its oil life monitor, for when I change the oil. Which alerts anywhere from 4.5k to 8k miles.

This video is so weirdly perfect for my life right now. I’m changing the chain and guides on my 2011 Elantra. Piece of junk car

Just did a timing belt job on my civic! Found a leaky crank seal in the process!

Do you mind saying how much it cost and whether or not you used an aftermarket kit? I literally just bought a 2010 Honda Pilot this past Friday, and I'm in the process of making sure all basic maintenance is current. The vehicle has 129,000 mi, and I cannot determine from the Carfax whether or not the timing belt has ever been changed, so I am assuming it has not. I paid for my vehicle in cash, so I am not looking forward to immediately spending a thousand plus more dollars, but I'm not willing to take the risk of not doing it.

@@Tes7000 our engines are vastly different and the prices for said kits would be very different as well. all in all I spent around $450 in parts for my 7th gen civic but I used honda parts so YMMV.
