TIMING BELT 850

posted by  someone claiming to be 850 owner on  Thu Apr 15 04:07 CST 2004 [RELATED]

A timing belt on an 850 is different than a B2xxx engine(RWD). The engine is interference, so just be careful and double-check that you have the timing marks all lined up, otherwise you could damage the valves, etc., due to them colliding with the pistons. An otherwise straightforward process. Use only OEM parts, it's not wise to experiment on different brands of belts when it comes to timing belts. Also, check the water pump and T-belt cam seals. Failure/seizure of water pump could shred your timing belt. Failure of seals could leak oil on the belt, causing premature failure. That's my take on the 850 T-belt. Good luck!
