This weekend I'm finally getting around to changing the timing belt on my 91. Last time it was changed was 160k and it now has 238k. Anybody wanna chime in with tips, tricks, parts that I should change that usually aren't recommended, etc.

So far I'm replacing: timing belt, tensioner, seals, water pump, thermostat, hoses, belts, antifreeze of course.
Anybody recommend anything else?

 

is your Front main seal leaking??????

 

Absolutely no leaks on my engine.

 

sixer of ipa

 

I just did mine 2 months back and this is what I replaced:
-t-belt
-t-belt tensioner
-water pump
-thermostat
-cam seals
-front crank seal
-all accessory belts
-new coolant

I did mine 3k early, but I found a deal where I would help this Lexus techncian for almost 1/3 of other quotes I was getting.

 

even though your front crank seal isnt leaking, you might wanan replace it anyways to make sure nothing happens down the road

 

dont suppose anyone has a good place to purchase these items, last quote I got was over the 500 dollar mark for the timing kit alone.

still dont see a timing chain or a kit for it, 92 se

 

oops, I didn't notice you have a VE
the chain on a VE should never need replacing.

 

really,dint know that. Anything else I would to do concerning the timing since the engine is comepletely torn apart?
