Timing belt - how do I change it

(1/1)

Mr Garfield:
All

my sj413 hasn't had a new timing belt since forever - at least 60 000 miles ago!  I have no idea when it should be done, or how.  Is it a relatively easy job for a buffoon!?!?!??!  It runs fine, but I can't help but feel it probably needs doing!

Installation
 Installation Engines with adjustable tappets: Slacken all tappet adjusting screws to allow camshaft to rotate freely.
1. Ensure timing marks aligned [6] & [7].
2. Fit timing belt, starting at crankshaft sprocket. Ensure belt is taut between sprockets on non-tensioned side.
3. Slacken tensioner locknut [5]. Allow tensioner to operate.
4. Turn crankshaft two turns clockwise.
5. Ensure timing marks aligned [6] & [7].
6. Tighten tensioner locknut to 11 Nm [5].
7. Tighten tensioner bolt to 26 Nm [4].
8. Fit timing belt cover and seal [2] & [3].
9. Fit crankshaft pulley [1]. Tighten bolts to 12 Nm [8].
10. Engines with adjustable tappets: Adjust tappet clearances (cold). Inlet: 0,13-0,17 mm. Exhaust: 0,16-0,20 mm.
11. Install components in reverse order of removal.

Mr Garfield:
Many thanks - guess what I'll be doing at the weekend?!?!?!

CNorman:
Make sure your cam timing marks are not 180 degrees out!
