Timing belt change methods (mine's at 100,000 miles) 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be kraynek at home on  Sat Jun 22 01:44 CST 2002 [RELATED]

just turned 200,000 miles, and the last timing belt change was at about 98,000. i think it's about time to change! anyway, i've heard several methods mentioned here. can anyone tell me what they are and the pros and cons? this will probably get done sometime in the next month, seeing as i'm finally getting to the stalling problem today that i asked about a month ago.

oh, one other thing. when my dad and i were talking about changing the belt, he suggested (as he does for everything) impact wrench. i said that the crankshaft is brittle and might snap, and the compression of the engine won't be enough to keep it from turning. tell me what you think.
thanks
