So I got a timing belt job coming up on the Mitsubishi, and got my shopping list together. A lot of the items possibly don't "require" replacement, but I have an OCD and only want to be in there once and forget about it for the next 62,000 miles.
Being this is BITOG, how many people replace wear and tear parts before their time, because they're pulling them off as part of another job or they're just easily accessable? As an example, if I'm replacing a serpentine belt, I replace the tensioner and idler pulley as well, so I don't (hopefully) have to deal with a jammed pulley or loose tensioner down the road that'll probably damage the belt.
If anyone's interested, here's my list:
- Timing Belt
- Crankshaft Seal
- Camshaft Seal
- Timing Belt Tensioner
- Timing Belt Tensioner Spring
- Timing Belt Tensioner TTY Bolt
- Crankshaft Sprocket
- Crankshaft Sprocket Flange
- Coolant Pump
- Crankshaft TTY Bolt
- Crankshaft TTY Bolt Washer
- Serpentine Belt Tensioner/Idler
- Serpentine Belt
- Power Steering Belt
- AC Compressor Belt
- Thermostat
- Radiator Cap
- Coolant
