Make sure you feel good about the water pump. It's in that sequence and if it siezes...

I'm not sure at what point it is considered old.

If you are in doubt about either pulley (idler or tensioner) replace it. It's cheaper than a head job!

When you put it on go in a couterclockwise motion. I had a devil of a time with the front cam going off by a notch until I figured that out.

Amen to follow Bay13 procedures.

Also I believe the timing belt change interval has been shortened considerably. You may want to check on that.

I've had two break on me. One was my bad at 140,000.(Had not been changed. I actually had it in the trunk to do that weekend!) Again at 200,000. Right at the recommended interval.

Not a fun repair, I assure you!

Good Luck.
