Timing belt - how do I change it
« on: January 22, 2007, 23:14:06 »
All

my sj413 hasn't had a new timing belt since forever - at least 60 000 miles ago!  I have no idea when it should be done, or how.  Is it a relatively easy job for a buffoon!?!?!??!  It runs fine, but I can't help but feel it probably needs doing!
If it ain't broke, it will be soon!

Make sure your cam timing marks are not 180 degrees out!
