Hey, I was just wondering if changing the Timing belt was hard and what all I would need to remove to do it. I have the head off the car to replace the HG :nono: . So from this point is it fairly easy :icon_bigg ? Im just wondering what I am about to get my self into. Also any tips or info would be awsome. Thanks all...

You need to take off the crank bolt, crank pulley, and front timing case, it covers the bottom half right behind the crank pulley. NOT the big one tho that sits against the block, just the cover that goes infront of it. Then the belt just pops off. Maybe replace the idler pulley if it's worn out, just check what's worn and what's not.

It's not too bad. Especially if you have done a BHG before. Just make sure you can torque that crank bolt to the 195 (double check that #) ft-lbs it needs.
