timing belt write up

[burninskulls0911]

i have been looking for a write up on how to change the timing belt in my rb20 and i cant seem to find one..the only thing im seeing is write ups on how to change a z32 belt

if anyone knows where i can find a write up that would be awesome!

have you looked in the FSM? tells you how step by step.

There is a pretty good write up in the FSM. It's pretty easy really... Look over the FSM and post up any questions you have... Is your motor in the car or on a stand?

Set the engine to TDC #1 before you do anything. Also now is the best time to replace your water pump, oil pump, timing belt tensioner and guide...

at the moment the motor is in the car but im going to be pulling it out pretty soon i need to replace the clutch,turbo and timing belt so i thought it would be best to just pull the motor

and i feel pretty dumb but what fsm?

and i know the water pump was replaced not too long ago

look in my signature for a link, go there and find the r32 manual... If you have a 33 or 34 search around and you'll find the FSM. If not just put a post and I'll upload it somewhere for you. I have a grip of FSMs...

And you're right it will be a lot easier to replace all that stuff with the motor out of the car.. Just don't get the 'might as well' syndrome or you'll NEVER get it put back in LOL... at least not in a timely manner hahaha

only thing not super clear in the FSM is that it doesnt really say how tight to set the tensioner. some just follow the picture and set it to where the allen key hole is at the bottom like the picture. too loose you slip it, too tight it makes noise, way too tight it could snap.
