kane Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I'm under the impression my timing belt broke. Was running like a champ and then all a sudden...nothing! Distributor is not spinning when cranking engine, and a look inside from the top with distributor removed showed the cam sitting still. My question is, did i destroy the engine? Interference or non interference engine? On a level of 1-10, 1 being a brake job and 10 being a head gasket replacement, what would a timing belt replacement on this vehicle be? I've read enough to know i gotta replace water pump, Engine seals, Idler, and Tensioner pully so i know it isnt a cake walk...but the total job using hand tools? Whats the average difficulty and time line that you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaPath Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I can't answer the interference vs. not, but a quick Google search should be able to. Timing belts are far from a 10, but definitely not a 1 either. If I had to conjecture a guess on this one I'd call it a 6. Does the 3.3 not have any removable covers to see if the belt has gone? How many miles on the rig and is it the original belt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
