Does anyone know what parts are needed when doing a timing belt and water pump on the lnf? My mechanic said I need to get a balancer or something. Isnt there a kit I could buy with all the parts. Looked on CED and found the lnf timing set but I dont know if thats all I need. Any help guys?

 

I believe the kits all u need, tom a CED will help u out

 

Ok. Cant believe its like $350 and thats without the water pump

 

My water pump apparently caffed out too After doing my t-stat, i hear there is a tool you need to hold the timming chAin in place? You know anything about this..? HhAh

 

yes there is a tool to hold the accessory chain in place OTC 6616 GM Water Pump Holding Tool

 

So all together from CED it would come to $700 (timing chain kit and water pump). Kinda high imo

 

Not really, timing chains last 100k+ normally and the same with a water pump it cost 0.007 per mile driven. At least we don't have to change them every 60k like Audi and VW timing belts

 

Well my tensioner broke st 70k so it didnt last me 100k

 

thats between you and gm

 

On a stock tune and engine?

 

No. Hp tune, zzp catless dp, dejon sri

 

fyi when i had my first car, a 1950 two door Ford flathead V8 a loooong time ago, I broke many transmissions. I purchased new ones, (at the wrecking yard) and put them in. After about five transmissions, I learned to shift and all was good. I never complained about the car. I was beating the crap out of it, and knew the answers. It wasnt the manufacturer. It was me, beating on it.

 

With an higher than stock rev limit?

 

Yes I beat on it a little. No complaints from me on the manufacturing. However I do know how to shift and blame myself for whatever happens to my car. I was only complaining about the price. But seems I cant find it cheaper anyway.

 

No and I never redline it, even when racing.
