[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 451669, member: 3008"] A word of caution when doing timing belts is to make sure the belt is correctly tensioned if it uses a manual tensioner. And replace all pulley's as well as the belt. And if you're going to pay a shop to do it. Ask what gets replaced. Often people will take the cheaper quote not realizing it is only the belt that is being replaced. Then 10K down the road pay for the whole job to be done again because a pulley is now noisy. Genuine seals and rubber gaskets are often far superior quality and give less problems. You will always get what you pay for, which includes the labour. Just saying. Not wanting to start a :poop: :cloudy: What K's are on this cruiser? Much blowing out the oil cap off while engine running? Just wondering if the seals have failed from age and/or quality or something else. [/QUOTE]
