96 sts timing belt
right front side looking down..
i just noticed that the cam belt is frayed,and needs replacing.can i replace that belt by removing the cover,disengauging the tension and sliding the belt right out ,or do i need to do some major pulley disesembling?Also aren't there two belts? thanks in advance |

Re: 96 sts timing belt
What cam belt there is a chain in this engine, you are looking at some accessory drive belt here.

Re: 96 sts timing belt
well, i got antsy....went out and removed the belt....answered my own questions...i needed to remove the tensioner..took all but 10 mins.
My real shocker was the condition of the belt.holding on by a thred,,amazing..im glad i noticed it,otherwise it was just a matter of time......so now i know the northstar engine uses a timing chain ,and the water pump belt runs off the cam...you learn something new every day.....thanks automotive forum.....  |
