I have a couple of problems so I figure I might as well do some 'while I'm there jobs'.
The pulleys on the cams are looking worn. Where the belt travels (about 1/4" from the front of the pulley) it's worn down probably 1/32-1/16". The belt is looking a bit tattered so it's gotta go.
I figure I might as well replace the pulleys. And if I'm replacing the cam pulleys - I might as well do the crank pulley too and get the round tooth belt.
The other issue is that I know the oil pump pulley isn't running 100% true. I don't remember why - I didn't change it - remember I paid the expert. I'll call him back up and ask if he remembers. It's been at least a year so I bet he doesn't.
Anything I should do 'while I'm there'? Is it worth the effort to replace the tensioner? Just the parts - pulleys, belt, etc are about 700 bucks so I figure a little more couldn't hurt too much.
The car has just over 100k on it. The story was the top end was redone before i bought it - but you never know what was really done. I drive the bejeezus out of this car and don't want anything to break at triple digit speeds.....
