'93 timing belt replacement

Post by kdvanstrum »

Read a good post about changing the timing belt, it gave an excellent website for step by step replacement. What I also want to know is what should be changed at the same time? I t seems to me that the tensioner and water pump should also be done. The car I'm working on is a '93GLT with 85k. Thanks.

The tensioner is recommended at the second belt change. If this is the "first" your living on borrowed time as the change was recommended at 50K. You may also want to change the idler pulley
