is this a good deal ??

[Killa]

i know a mechanic that can put a new timing belt and water pump for 150 if i bring the part ( so i went to auto zone and bought both for $104
so total is 254 , is this a good deal ??

[1stGenRocks]

get a new tensioner too. im not sure what kind of car you have but if you have a 4g63 motor (turbo 2g or a 1g) i would be a little worried about it being so cheap since they are hard to do right and cost a lot of money if they fuck up the timing.

those are much easier to do. it sounds like a good deal. make sure to do the tensioner too though

[shdowprde]

[Killa]

yes im a fob , i been hear about 8 year(became us citizen , cause my parent pass and im under age , so if they pass and any children under 18 will pass too) but my english is really suck ( properly because i spent most of my time speak my own language even in school.

[Killa]

yes my muffler is really loud ( ofcouse muffler is support loud ) but this time is not normal.

[shdowprde]

check to see if it is hooked up or has a hole some where to make it easier do it while it it running so u can tell where the noise is coming from

[Killa]

some people mention about tensioner ( what is that )

what hole u talking about ( muffler )

[coolguycooz]

Not sure exacly what you are saying. But if the timing is off you will get lots of engine vibration if thats what you mean by engine not running right i no do turky day my english is a good i can learn you how to spoke. Yeah its the timing its idleing rough and vibrating a lot.
