dkpath96 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I am about to do the same with my 99.5 Nissan (just hit 105,000 mi). Two questions: Should I go with the timing belt kit, vs. just the timing belt? The kit would replace all the pulleys that the belt runs on, and is an extra $70. Is this worth it? I also own a '96 with 186,000 mi and when I did the timing belt, I did not do the water pump. It still runs like a champ. Was this just luck? Has anyone had a water pump fail in a vg33?

clkindred Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 My water pump started to leak pretty bad at about 127,000 miles. As far as a timing kit, what else is there to replace than the belt and tension pulley? I just replaced the belt and tension pulley and water pump. Cam sprockets? Crank sprocket? Cam seals? Do the kits come with those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkpath96 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hmm, good question - I will have to ask the mechanic who brought it to my attention. At the price he gave ($100), it is most likely just the belt, tensioner, and idler pulley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
