89 7 40 timing belt change

Post by nisan17 »

Hi group,

I'm changing my timing belt and seals on my 89 740 non turbo. I have an old manual which covers 82-88. Question: are the sprocket timing marks on my 89 the same as an 88 as in the book?

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Probably, but let's not be mean and print a picture for the '89.

Thanks so much Bill, so, it's the same as what my 88 book has. It really helps when the belt has marks also!!
