that happened a month or soago, i got lucky and it never jumped time. its juat an example to why evrything should be replaced. just like the balance shaft belt that loves to get tangled in the timing belt and make a mess

Is there a timing belt kit then?

And... what do you guys think about the brand name: Fel-Pro? Is it any good?

Hey guys is this it:

camshaft belt idler, camshaft belt tensioner, balance shaft tensioner, balance shaft belt, water pump, water pump gaskets, & Head Gasket set (pretty much includes all gaskets when doing the head gasket and includes the head bolts) and of course the Timing belt.

Is this all I need to install the head gasket and timing belt?

Guys, I was looking at the bottom of the head today, andtwo of the exhaust little valves (there are 16) was sticking out. Is this bad?

yes, unless of couse your cam is pushing them open. If not, then that means you have weak valve springs

Well, if I were to slightly move the cam (because it is not in line correctly, it is slightly off)would that fix it? Before I took off the timing belt they were aligned perfectly. But it slightly moved (it must have...)

yeah it should be fine, you can use a wrench to turn the cam to see if the valves come up.

what do you mean adjust? i was saying that if you wanted to move the valves, you can turn the cam to see if the valves close up
